NEUROSCIENCE AS A FOUNDATION IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS

Abstract

The richness of physical education, from its didactic composition, is fundamental, since it promotes physical activity as one of the means by which the student acquires knowledge. Therefore, neuroscience is currently discussed as one of the elements that allows us to take advantage of brain dynamics to constitute a comprehensive education for the student. For this reason, the present article is a conceptual review that starts from the approach of body movement, as well as taking into account the student's brain dynamics. In this regard, the objective of this study is: To understand the theoretical foundations of neuroscience as a basis in the physical education class. To this end, a documentary review was developed, which delves into the attention, motivation, and emotional management that student should consider. The results establish that physical activity is one of the means by which stress is reduced, and attention levels are maintained at optimal levels. Therefore, it is concluded that physical education, through its classroom instruction, is presented as a means to seek balance between body and mind, generating better living conditions for the subjects and leading to their comprehensive development.
