Abstract
El bienestar emocional tiene un rol esencial en el rendimiento académico y la calidad de vida de los estudiantes, por ende, la actividad física aporta de manera considerable a la estabilidad emocional, fomentando la disminución del estrés y el fortalecimiento del estado emocional. La presente investigación se centra en describir la percepción de los beneficios de la actividad física en relación con el bienestar emocional en los estudiantes que asisten al gimnasio universitario de la PUCE Ibarra durante el periodo semestral 2024-2025. Para ello fundamenta teóricamente el concepto de bienestar emocional dentro del marco de la actividad física, realizando una exploración bibliográfica que aborda esta temática desde múltiples perspectivas. Para lograr una comprensión integral del bienestar emocional, se evaluó la percepción de los beneficios emocionales de la actividad física mediante la aplicación de un instrumento de medición el cual incluyó una encuesta estructurada y una tabla de emociones que refleja la percepción de los estudiantes de acuerdo a cada emoción, a base de respuesta una en escala de Likert. La metodología empleada es de enfoque cuantitativo con un nivel descriptivo y un tipo de campo lo que permite obtener resultados que revelan una percepción positiva al impacto de la actividad física en el bienestar emocional de los estudiantes por lo que se proporcionara evidencia a las autoridades de la institución y a los estudiantes a través de gráficos estadísticos. Se evidenció que la mayoría experimenta mejoras significativas en su estado anímico tras la práctica regular de ejercicio, asociándolo con un aumento en la energía, la vitalidad y la motivación para afrontar su jornada académica. Además, otros estudiantes reportaron efectos relajantes y una reducción de la fatiga, lo que confirma que los beneficios emocionales de la actividad física varían según la persona y dependen de factores como la intensidad y la frecuencia del ejercicio.
Emotional well-being plays a crucial role in academic performance and students' quality of life. Therefore, physical activity significantly contributes to emotional stability by reducing stress and strengthening emotional states. This research focuses on describing the perception of the benefits of physical activity in relation to emotional well-being among students attending the university gym at PUCE Ibarra during the 2024-2025 semester. To achieve this, it theoretically grounds the concept of emotional well-being within the framework of physical activity, conducting a bibliographic exploration that addresses this topic from multiple perspectives. To gain a comprehensive understanding of emotional well-being, the perception of the emotional benefits of physical activity was assessed through a measurement instrument that included a structured survey and an emotion table reflecting students' perceptions of each emotion, based on a Likert scale response. The methodology employed follows a quantitative approach with a descriptive level and a field research type, allowing for results that reveal a positive perception of the impact of physical activity on students' emotional well-being. Consequently, statistical graphs will provide evidence to institutional authorities and students. The findings showed that most students experience significant improvements in their mood after regular exercise, associating it with increased energy, vitality, and motivation to face their academic day. Additionally, other students reported relaxing effects and a reduction in fatigue, confirming that the emotional benefits of physical activity vary depending on the individual and factors such as exercise intensity and frequency.
