Author: Jurado Montes, Francisco Javier
Tutor: Berninches Pintado, Laura
Abstract: Currently overweight and childhood obesity in Spain is one of the most serious problems placing one in three children and adolescents at risk for their health. The aim of this bibliographic review is to know the effect of intervention programs based on healthy eating habits and / or practice of physical activity and sport carried out in Spanish schoolchildren at ages corresponding to Early Childhood and Primary Education. Databases such as Scielo, Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, Medline, WOS, Google Scholar, among others, have been used. After identifying, reviewing, and excluding those studies that were not within the eligibility criteria, a total of 23 articles are included for review along with 2 systematic reviews. School intervention programs that combine both theoretical and practical content related to healthy eating habits as well as a proposal for physical activity turn out to be more effective than those programs that only intervene individually. Those programs that have a minimum duration of twelve months turn out to be more effective in the long term than those that have a shorter duration. In this way, offer healthy food options, carry out sessions and / or practical workshops on it, present activities related to good eating habits in an audiovisual format, include assessment and improvement of physical fitness activities and encourage participation in physical activities during school hours and their extension in after-school hours are effective tools for promoting healthy habits and preventing overweight and obesity in children.
