The objective of this research was to determine the effect of the application of a multimedia in the acquisition of necessary skills in the evaluation of the physical fitness components related to health. METHODOLOGY: subjects: Physical college students (n=29), enrolled in Physical Qualities Evaluation course. Instruments: multimedia of battery of physical evaluation proof related to health ( subcutaneous wrinkles, cardio respiratory capacity, flexibility, muscle strength, abdominal muscular resistence modified), software of Neobook Authorship for the elaboration of electronic publications, version 5.0: software for the academic evaluations development Hot Potatoes of Half- Baked Software Inc., version 6, Adobe Premiere to capture and edit video version Pro 1.5, audacity of audio recording, basic program for the word text edition, video camera DCR- VX 2000 Sony in MiniDVNTSC format, for the video recording. Procedure: the subjects accomplished the first test ( test application to evaluate the physical ability components related to health) and they had a blind assessor and with the basis of the results of this pretest, it was arranged into three treatment groups, about the linked score modality, and each group got a different treatment: just theory, just multimedia and theory-multimedia. Each group received 1 hour of treatment for 10 weeks, when this process was finished, the blind assessor proceeded to apply the post test to evaluate the physical ability components related to health to the three groups. Additionally a focal group interview was carried out to each group separately, where qualitative factors were identified. Statistical Analysis: ANOVA of two mixed vias was used (3 treatments x 2 measuring) for the quantitative analysis and the content analysis and for the qualitative datum categorization. Results: It was found that there was not any meaningful interaction between measuring and groups, neither meaningful differences between groups. Although it could be observed a positive tendency but not meaningful in the mixed group (theory-multimedia) which had larger score than the other groups. In the other hand, it was found differences statistically meaningful between the measuring in other words, every group improved the score on the second measurement . In the interview it could be seen a tendency of positive criteria toward the use of multimedia as a reinforcement tool to improve the teaching process at the level of college education specifically in the science of human movement and health area. Discussion: By and large the statistical results show that the use of multimedia, multimedia as a professor help and a professor without multimedia help to create knowledge in the physical evaluation area; they present no differences , and the three types of processes can be equally successful meanwhile there are kept the conditions as the ones proposed in this research. On the other hand, the results of the interview let it note that multimedia in general is accepted as an element that help to improve the learning process in the classroom. Conclusions: Multimedia works as an element that helps in the learning process in the transition of technical information, allowing the professor to spend time in other activities.

This study shows the main socio- affective factors related to school difficulties of a group of three girls and three boys identified as "star" in the Programa Psicomotricidad e Intervención (Psychomotor and Intervention Program). The study was developed through a mixed methodology, in which the Human Figure Test, the Kinetic Family Drawing and an interview with the mother of each student were applied. The most important results revealed the existence of family conflicting factors that affect the emotional state of children, generating negative feelings about themselves that affect their social interactions and their school performance.

El propósito de este estudio fue describir y relacionar los niveles de autoeficacia, ansiedad precompetitiva y sensación de fluir en jugadores de balonmano de la selección nacional masculina y femenina de Costa Rica durante el Torneo Internacional Feria de la Flores (Colombia 2012). En el estudio participaron 28 jugadores (14 hombres y 14 mujeres). Se aplicó la escalas de autoeficacia general, sensación de fluir y ansiedad competitiva. El valor promedio en relación con la autoeficacia fue alto (8,40). En cuanto a la sensación de fluir, los valores promedio oscilaron entre 3,41 (experiencia autotélica) y 5,78 (sensación de control). La ansiedad somática fue la más baja (hombres= 1,59 / mujeres= 1,98) y la autoconfianza la más alta (hombres= 2,99 / mujeres= 2,70). No se registró cambios significativos a lo largo de los juegos en relación con la sensación de fluir. La ansiedad experimentada por los hombres fue significativamente menor a la de las mujeres, y los niveles de autoconfianza fueron superiores en los hombres que en las mujeres. No se registró correlaciones importantes entre autoeficacia y sensación de fluir; sin embargo, la ansiedad somática mostró correlaciones significativas con algunas dimensiones de la sensación de fluir. Los datos registrados evidencian la nece sidad del trabajo psicológico, para el logro de estados psicofísicos que favorezcan el logro de rendimientos máximos.
