“…This situation goes hand in hand with previous evidence which indicates that the regular practice of physical activity in IVR has beneficial effects on health in various populations [14][15][16][20][21][22]. Likewise, the use of virtual reality can improve health, knowledge, motor skills and complex problem-solving techniques in different populations [36].…”

Physical activity has benefits for health, but many adolescents are inactive. However, video games such as Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) have grown in popularity as a leisure activity among young people, allowing them to manipulate objects in virtual environments increasing the practice of physical activity. The evidence indicates that the interest in physical activity through IVR is greater than in traditional methods, and different experiences have been reported. However, few studies indicate the sample evaluated, the effects found, or the IVR instruments used. Due to this, is the aim of this study is to identify the publications referring to IVR and physical activity, characterize them, and present the obtained main findings. For this, the guidelines described in the PRISMA-ScR for scoping reviews were applied. After the use of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight articles were included. Results show evidence regarding physiological outcomes, perceptual variables, interest and enjoyment, and psychological effects regarding physical activity through IVR. Additionally, the use of different devices and their prescriptions are explored. It is concluded that there is interest from the scientific community for the practice of physical activity through IVR, as well as for its application for the maintenance of active habits. This is important as it positions IVR as a method that can be a more experiential and effective way to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“…Sin embargo, los resultados finales del subgrupo experimental 2 presentan resultados contradictorios con dichos estudios, ya que no solo realizan un mínimo de pasos diarios relacionado con la AF ligera (Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al, 2018), sino que han incrementado los valores de AF vigorosa y, especialmente, moderada. Las TIC se han convertido en un elemento facilitador, lo que contrasta con la percepción negativa que se ha tenido de ellas (Diego-Cordero et al, 2017).…”

La evolución de las TIC como recurso educativo ha hecho que estas estén presentes en todas las áreas de conocimiento y en las diferentes etapas formativas. El presente trabajo analiza la eficacia de un programa de educación para la salud fundamentado en el uso de diferentes dispositivos tecnológicos y aplicaciones informáticas para el control de los hábitos de actividad física saludable de los estudiantes de los grados universitarios en Magisterio impartidos en la Facultad de Educación (Universidad de Zaragoza). La muestra final, una vez aplicados los criterios de exclusión, fue de 80 estudiantes. Fueron distribuidos en tres grupos: uno control y dos experimentales (app y pulseras de actividad física), respetando la proporcionalidad de las matriculaciones. Tras una evaluación inicial de la actividad física (cuestionario IPAQ), los estudiantes se marcaron sus propios objetivos individuales de acuerdo con las recomendaciones marcadas por la OMS para la población adulta. Al cabo de siete semanas se procedió a una nueva medición con el mismo instrumento. Los resultados mostraron un incremento en el tiempo de realización de actividad física en los grupos que emplearon las TIC, especialmente aquel que utilizó las pulseras inteligentes. Finalmente, podemos afirmar que las TIC no solamente son importantes en la educación en general, sino que lo son en temas transversales tan importantes como la educación para la salud y en el mantenimiento de un estilo de vida activo. === The evolution of ICTs as an educational resource has materialized their presence in all areas of knowledge and in the different educational stages. This paper analyses the effectiveness of a health education programme based on the use of different technological devices and computer applications to control the healthy physical activity habits of students in the Magisterium University Degrees taught at the Faculty of Education (University of Zaragoza). The final sample, once the exclusion criteria had been applied, consisted of 80 participants. They were randomly distributed in three groups, one of which was a control group and the other two were experimental groups (app and physical activity bracelets), according to the proportionality of the matriculations. After an initial evaluation of physical activity (IPAQ questionnaire), the students set their own individual objectives in accordance with the WHO recommendations for the adult population. Seven weeks later, a new measurement was made with the same instrument. The results showed an increase in physical activity time in groups using ICT, especially the one using intelligent bracelets. Finally, we can affirm that ICTs are not only important in education in general, yet also in transversal themes as important as health education and the maintenance of an active lifestyle.

“…Several studies revealed the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle habits such as dietary imbalances and the onset of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, or cardiovascular pathologies including high blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia, among others [3,4]. Recent data seem to indicate that in Spain, the young population frequently fails to follow a balanced diet and the recommended levels of physical activity [5][6][7][8].…”

Background: The widespread adoption of mobile devices by adolescents underscores the potential to harness these tools to instill healthy habits into their daily lives. An exemplary manifestation of this initiative is the Healthy Jeart app, crafted with the explicit goal of fostering well-being. Methodology: This study, framed within an applied investigation, adopts an exploratory and descriptive approach, specifically delving into the realm of user experience analysis. The focus of this research is a preliminary examination aimed at understanding users’ perceived usability of the application. To glean insights, a comprehensive questionnaire was administered to 101 teenagers, seeking their evaluations on various usability attributes. The study took place during 2022. Results: The findings reveal a considerable consensus among users regarding the evaluated usability aspects. However, the areas for improvement predominantly revolve around managing the information density, particularly for a subset of end users grappling with overwhelming content. Additionally, recommendations are put forth to streamline the confirmation process for user suggestions and comments. Conclusion: This analysis illuminates both the strengths of the app and areas ripe for refinement, paving the way for a more user-centric and efficacious Healthy Jeart application.
