Abstract

The following proposal shows a study that attempted to verify the influence that active rests have on the enjoyment of Infant Education students, this being an element of motivation. In addition, the existence of differences in enjoyment according to the sex of the student body was evaluated. To this end, a methodology was carried out based on active breaks during ten days, in which the student's impressions were collected through a test that was passed after sedentary activity and, in the same way, after active breaks. Likewise, the impressions were collected from the teachers through an interview carried out on the last day of the study. The sample taken for this work consisted of 22 subjects from a class in the first year of the second cycle of Infant Education (3 years), these being 12 girls and 10 boys. Finally, the results allowed us to conclude that active breaks increase the enjoyment of the students, without differences according to the sex variable.
