Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar el impacto de un programa de equitación adaptada en un grupo de niños con enfermedades raras y comprobar su repercusión en la actividad física y en algunos parámetros del sueño. Se realiza un diseño experimental de caso único, de reversión múltiple intrasujetos. La muestra está compuesta por cinco niños/as que presentan enfermedades de baja frecuencia. Para evaluar la actividad física y el tiempo de sueño se ha utilizado un acelerómetro triaxial. Con carácter descriptivo, a fin de valorar las características habituales del sueño se ha empleado una escala de trastornos del sueño. En términos generales se observa que la participación como usuario en sesiones de equitación adaptada supone un incremento de actividad física apreciable respecto a la actividad física media del propio usuario. No hemos encontrado una prolongación en la duración de sueño.

The aim of this work is to verify the impact of a adaptive riding program to promote physical activity and sleep in a group of children with rare diseases. A single-case, reversal and intrasubject experimental design has been implemented. The sample was composed of five children with low-frequency or undiagnosed diseases. To measure physical activity and sleep an triaxial accelerometer has been used. Additionally, a sleep disorder scale has been employed in order to assess the usual sleep characteristics. In general terms, we can point out that participating as a user in adaptive riding sessions produces an increase in daily physical activity, which is appreciable compared to the average physical activity of the user.
