Abstract

The current COVID-19 disease pandemic demands wearing face masks for doing physical activity. The use of a mask requires low intensity of the activity. The Physical Education subject is essential to know how to determine the intensity of physical activity. The aim of this proposal is to teach students to identify the intensity of physical activity through effort perception. This practical proposal is aimed at students in the third year of Secondary Education. The proposal consists of four activities to be carried out during 11 sessions. In conclusion, it is expected that students become aware of their own possibilities in different physical activities with suitable intensity. This ability to perceive and differentiate between intensities will help them to practice physical activity with a positive and healthy attitude.
