La Expresión Corporal es uno de los contenidos de la Educación Física que más particularidades presenta en la formación del profesorado, pudiendo mostrar carencias formativas en la formación inicial del profesorado de Primaria. La opinión del profesorado universitario de esta disciplina se plantea como una evaluación a tener en cuenta para comprender la situación actual y poder mejorar el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Con el objetivo de conocer la opinión que tiene sobre la EC el profesorado universitario que imparte la asignatura vinculada en el Grado en Educación Primaria, se utilizó un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc y validado mediante juicio de expertos. Está compuesto de 32 preguntas cerradas, analizadas mediante el programa SPSS, y siete preguntas abiertas, analizadas mediante el programa QSR Nvivo. En los resultados destaca un alto grado de acuerdo entre el profesorado en referencia a la escasa presencia de la EC en los planes de estudios. También se encontró un alto grado de heterogeneidad, pese a lo que pueden encontrarse ciertos puntos de encuentro en la mayoría de las opiniones, destacando la valoración positiva de la actitud del alumnado y su adecuada formación tras cursar la asignatura vinculada. La opinión general suele coincidir con los estudios previos, destacando la poca proyección de la materia sobre el ámbito educativo en favor del artístico, pese a considerarse una disciplina que desarrolla la mayor parte de las Competencias Clave.

Corporal Expression is one of the contents of Physical Education that presents more particularities in teacher training, being able to show formative deficiencies in the initial training of Primary School teachers. The opinion of the university teaching staff in this discipline is considered as an evaluation to be taken into account in order to understand the current situation and to be able to improve the teaching and learning process. In order to find out the opinion of the university teaching staff who teach the related subject on the Degree in Primary Education about CE, an ad hoc questionnaire was used, validated by means of expert judgement. It consists of 32 closed questions, analysed using the SPSS programme, and seven open questions, analysed using the QSR Nvivo programme. The results show a high degree of agreement among the teaching staff with regard to the scarce presence of CE in the curricula. A high degree of heterogeneity was also found, despite the fact that certain points of agreement can be found in most of the opinions, highlighting the positive assessment of the students' attitude and their appropriate training after taking the related subject. The general opinion tends to coincide with previous studies, highlighting the lack of projection of the subject in the educational field in favour of the artistic field, despite being considered a discipline that develops most of the Key Competences.

Staying physically active is synonymous with good health and well-being, and its benefits on the health of people with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) have been studied. However, there is a lack of information on how it can influence their quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between QoL and physical activity in PWIDs according to gender and the characteristics of the practiced activity. A questionnaire was administered to 380 PWIDs (mean age of 28.23 ± 12.53), 54.21% of which were men. The QoL dimensions and second-order factors were studied in relation to practicing physical activity, the practice type, the context, and gender. The results indicate that people who practiced any activity showed better QoL values. Those who engaged in a nonregulated physical activity had better values in self-determination, emotional well-being, social inclusion, and personal development, while those who did sports presented higher scores in interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. In addition, it also appears that the association between physical activity and the QoL dimensions is distinct in inclusive and specific contexts. In conclusion, physical activity is related to a better QoL, although the impact of the practice type and context differs for each QoL dimension.
