“…The literature on caring for the mental well-being of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic has suggested promoting physical activity and healthy diets (Bailey et al , 2021; Batsis et al , 2021; Aguilar-Farias et al , 2021), implementing home gardens and creating more green spaces available within the city (Corley, 2021; Levinger et al , 2022), involving older adults in the use of technology for Web-based socialization (Haase et al , 2021) and improving their sleep quality through other feasible methods and strategies that are not harmful to health (Trabelsi, 2021; Scott et al , 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of regular Kung Fu and Taekwondo practice on the health and quality of life among elderly individuals in the Maule region, Chile. Design/methodology/approach The authors designed a 12-week Kung Fu and Taekwondo workshop with activities suitable for their age. Through semistructured interviews (at the beginning and the end of the workshop), along with periodic monitoring of vital signs and cardiovascular components, the authors observed an improvement in participants’ physical (strength, speed of reaction and flexibility) and psychological conditions (self-esteem and resilience), quality of life (relationships with family and friends and ability to deal with stressful events in working life) and health (waist circumference, percentage of oxygen saturation in blood, blood pressure, among other values). Findings From these results, the authors affirm that this workshop improves health and physical condition and helps the participants develop the coping capacity to deal with stressful situations and complicated interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the authors conclude that Kung Fu and Taekwondo as regular sports activities can benefit senior citizens’ aging process. Originality/value This research is based on an original study project.

“…El confinamiento a causa de la pandemia ha afectado la movilidad de las personas, la que a su vez ha ido en desmedro de los ya malogrados índices de AF y elevados índices de sedentarismo de la población en todo el mundo. Datos pertenecientes a la población mundial indican disminuciones en la AF y aumento en la exposición de pantallas, mostrando una radiografía de un contexto actual globalizado y confinado (Aguilar-Farias, Verdugo-Miranda & Cortinez-O'Ryan, 2021).…”

La vegetación de los centros urbanos puede proveer abundantes beneficios en el medio ambiente y en la sociedad, en este sentido, las áreas verdes pueden ofrecer oportunidades para la práctica regular de actividad física, proporcionando beneficios para la salud física y mental en la vida de la población. Objetivo: El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la práctica de actividad física y los motivos de la no práctica en menores de 5 a 17 años en áreas verdes de la ciudad de Temuco, Chile. Método: Enfoque cuantitativo, de corte transversal y con un diseño no experimental y alcance descriptivo. Instrumentos: Se aplicó el cuestionario sobre la práctica de actividad física en áreas verdes y los motivos de no práctica. Resultados: Si bien la mayor parte de los menores tiene áreas verdes cerca de su domicilio, la mayoría de ellos no las utiliza para la práctica de actividad física, especialmente las damas. Respecto al tipo de actividades principalmente realizadas en las áreas verdes destacan aquellas más de tipo recreativo como jugar, caminar y el uso de la bicicleta. Conclusión: Los espacios para realizar actividad física existen, pero los menores requieren de interés, motivación y principalmente de apoyo familiar para practicar actividad física en las áreas verdes, por lo que se requiere de una mayor oferta de programas deportivos y/o recreativos relacionados con la práctica de actividad física en áreas verdes. Abstract. The vegetation of urban centres can provide abundant benefits in the environment and society. In this way, green areas can offer opportunities for the regular practice of physical activity, providing benefits for physical and mental health in the life of the population. Aim: to determine the practice of physical activity and the reasons for non-practice in children aged between 5 to 17 years in green areas of Temuco, Chile. Methods: quantitative approach, cross-sectional and with a non-experimental design and descriptive scope. Instruments: A questionnaire to measure the practice of physical activity in green areas and the reasons for non-practice was applied. Results: Although most of children have green areas near their homes, most of them do not use these areas for physical activities, with the group of girls highlighting in this respect. Regarding the type of activities mainly carried out in green areas were those of recreational nature such as playing, walking and cycling. Conclusion: Spaces for physical activity exist, but children require interest, motivation and mainly family support to practice physical activity in green areas, as well as a greater supply of sports and/or recreational programs related to the practice of physical activity in green areas.
