Resumen
Esta revisión narrativa examina el papel de los ejercicios kinesiológicos en las clases neuropsicológicas para niños en edad preescolar.
Su relevancia se debe al creciente número de niños preescolares que presentan dificultades en el desarrollo intelectual, emocional y motor.
La revisión tiene como objetivos: (1) aclarar los conceptos de integración sensorial y kinesiología, (2) examinar los mecanismos neuropsicológicos subyacentes al desarrollo de las habilidades motoras y del pensamiento espacial, y (3) evaluar los posibles beneficios de los ejercicios kinesiológicos en contextos preescolares.
Se llevó a cabo una revisión narrativa de literatura revisada por pares y de fuentes metodológicas en Google Scholar, Web of Science y PubMed.
La evidencia revisada sugiere que las dificultades de aprendizaje, como problemas en la percepción de la información, falta de atención, dificultades de memoria o de pensamiento lógico, pueden reflejar una preparación neurológica insuficiente para las exigencias cognitivas.
Esto pone de relieve el papel fundamental del cerebro en la coordinación y regulación de las funciones corporales vitales.
Cuando su funcionamiento es menos eficaz, tanto los niños como los adultos pueden tener dificultades para responder adecuadamente a los estímulos externos, lo que subraya la importancia de las intervenciones específicas.
Los ejercicios kinesiológicos parecen constituir un enfoque prometedor para apoyar el desarrollo neuropsicológico de los niños en edad preescolar mediante la promoción de la sincronización interhemisférica.
La actividad física contribuye no solo al desarrollo motor, sino también al desarrollo de los procesos cognitivos.
El artículo también presenta un conjunto de ejercicios kinesiológicos adecuados para su uso en clases neuropsicológicas preescolares.
Sin embargo, la base de evidencia está compuesta principalmente por estudios con muestras pequeñas, por lo que se requieren investigaciones controladas adicionales para establecer su eficacia.
This narrative review examines the role of kinesiological exercises in neuropsychological classes for preschool children. Its relevance arises from the growing number of preschoolers who experience difficulties in intellectual, emotional, and motor development. The review aims to: (1) clarify the concepts of sensory integration and kinesiology, (2) examine neuropsychological mechanisms underlying motor skill and spatial thinking development, and (3) evaluate the potential benefits of kinesiological exercises in preschool settings. A narrative review of peer-reviewed literature and methodological sources was conducted across Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed. The reviewed evidence suggests that experiencing learning difficulties, such as problems perceiving information, inattentiveness, problems related to memory or logical thinking may reflect insufficient neurological readiness for cognitive demands. This highlights the critical role of the brain in coordinating and regulating vital bodily functions. When its functioning is less effective, both children and adults may struggle to respond appropriately to external stimuli, underscoring the importance of targeted interventions. Kinesiological exercises appear to be a promising approach for supporting neuropsychological development in preschool children by promoting interhemispheric synchronisation. Physical activity contributes not only to motor development but also to the cultivation of cognitive processes. The article also presents a set of kinesiological exercises suitable for use in preschool neuropsychological classes. However, the evidence base consists primarily of small-sample studies, and further controlled research is needed to establish effectiveness.
