Neuroaction Neuroscience applied to Physical Education

Abstract

The holistic vision of education, that is, seeking a systemic and complete treatment that trains students in an integral way, is one of the most important and current aspects in the field of education. In this sense, the advances and discoveries made by neuroscience show that Physical Education cannot remain on the fringes of this approach, as this subject is a means of stimulating thought, cognition, intellectuality, affectivity and, ultimately, the achievement of all-round wellbeing. For this reason, and given that research in the field of Physical Education has traditionally focused on studying its benefits for the physical training of human beings, the aim of this article is to analyse Physical Education from the perspective of neuroscience, identifying its main findings from a global, comprehensive and holistic view of education.
