Saberes y relatos de niños y niñas sobre su experiencia deportiva

Abstract

Sport in childhood is considered as a recreational aspect because in a culture where the development of being is contemplated by means of school environments, the benefits that sport can offer in the development of childhood are obscured, because we must speak of a balance between mind and body to achieve a complement that contributes positively to the integral development of the child or more specific opportunities, contemplating sport as a life option, providing alternatives to childhood that often can not access a higher education and that also the physical abilities of the children are not enhanced. In this research we managed to collect the voice of a group of children who practice gymnastics, allowing us to know how sport has influenced their lives, as well as how alternatives are contemplated in the development of the life project, as well as the recognition of the influence of the sport in their lives.
