desarrollo motor, esquema corporal, tiempo de uso de pantalla, robot educativo, videojuegos activosResumen
Ante el predominio de los comportamientos sedentarios y el elevado tiempo de exposición pasiva ante los dispositivos digitales, este estudio pretende analizar las posibilidades de promoción de la actividad física de 0 a 6 años a través de las tecnologías emergentes que favorezcan el desarrollo motor infantil y el esquema corporal. Tras la revisión bibliográfica realizada en las bases de datos Web of Science, Pubmed y Scopus, los dispositivos digitales pueden promover la actividad física en los niños y niñas de 0 a 6 años, siempre que potencien acciones activas y el movimiento, pudiendo favorecer el desarrollo motor y con efectos positivos en la adquisición del esquema corporal.
