Abstract

RAMIREZ, William; VINACCIA, Stefano  and  SUAREZ, Gustavo Ramón. El impacto de la actividad física y el deporte sobre la salud, la cognición, la socialización y el rendimiento académico: una revisión teórica. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2004, n.18, pp.67-75. ISSN 0123-885X.

Research about physical activity and sports is generally framed within medical discourse, which promotes the practice of sports as a way to reduce the probability of cardiac, respiratory, and metabolic pathologies. Even though this type of discourse is of consequence, the importance of sports in other contexts of human life has long been neglected, or at least remained unacknowledged. This article presents a set of research projects that evidence the benefits of sports in terms of socialization processes, mental processes, academic achievement, and the overall improvement of life-quality.

Keywords : Cognitive benefits; mental activity; sports; physical activity.
