The benefits of physical exercise on human health are widely known. However, the level of physical activity in the majority of the population is considered insufficient. People with intellectual disabilities (ID), in particular, show this lack of physical activity to a greater extent. It has been noted that the promotion of activities focused on corporal expression (CE) stimulates the motivation to carry out physical exercise in this population group. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the last ten years of CE programs carried out in people with ID. The criteria established in the PRISMA statement were followed in the literature search. The databases consulted were Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, PsycInfo and Elton B. Stephens Company (EBSCO). Eight exclusion criteria were established for the selection of articles. For the analysis of the selected research, three quality criteria for interventions were established. Subsequently, a summary table with the characteristics of each study was made. In conclusion, it can be stated that CE programs in people with ID report benefits at both physical and psychosocial levels. It is necessary to extend this approach for the promotion of healthy physical activity that advocates social inclusion.

Resumen Las historias de vida de dos maestras profundizan en el tipo de prácticas docentes durante la transición democrática en España. La investigación biográfica narrativa, a través del uso de relatos biográficos, indaga en la toma de decisiones y prácticas que hicieron del aula un espacio emancipador. El análisis presenta el tipo de prácticas creativas, base de una acción educativa colaborativa y democrática. La creación literaria y de obras teatrales, junto al alumnado, propiciaron autonomía, confianza y amor por el aprendizaje. Estas prácticas innovadoras, para la época, pueden ser consideradas hoy en día prácticas disruptivas que, junto a la importancia de las relaciones afectivas y la revalorización de espacios artísticos, se constituyen como base de la acción pedagógica.
