Mahar Ken Martel Camilla Hodge Salud Children’s sport physical activity skill development sport practice structure Due to the increasing number of children participating in sport, sport clubs and organizations have been identified as an imp ortant setting to facilitate physical activity and health promotion. The purpose of this study was to examine whether new national policies fo r sport practice increases physical activity time without compromising skill development time. Two comparative samples of youth sport leagues with contras ting sport practice models were evaluated for one year. Eighty-two recreational league hockey practices (ages 9-10). Of the practices, 43 used the new approach while 39 operated under a traditional structure. Momentary time sampling was used to measure player physical activity levels and the pra ctice context in which they occur. A Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) score was calculated for each practice. Participants spent 44% of practice tim e engaged in sedentary activities, 33% in moderate physical activity, and 23% in vigorous physical activity. While individual minutes in MVPA and MET scores did not differ significantly between the practice types, new model practices provided overall higher MET hours than traditional practices. New model practices also accommodated approximately 60% more players while having twice as many coaches, a lower player-to-coach ratio, higher percentag e of time in vigorous physical activity, and more time dedicated to skill drills/activities. Findings suggest sport practices can be structu red to facilitate high levels of physical activity for more children without compromising attention to skill development and instruction. 2015 artículo científico 1579-1726 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=345741428031 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3457 RETOS.
