La capacidad aeróbica ha sido ampliamente estudiada a lo largo de los años, debido a su relación con la condición física, el rendimiento deportivo y la salud. Para la evaluación de la misma, un instrumento ampliamente utilizado es el test Course Navette, quecalcula de manera indirecta el consumo máximo de oxígeno. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer el panorama actual del nivel de capacidad aeróbica en escolares de Educación Primaria, determinado a través del test Course Navette. Se realizó una revisión sistemática sobre estudios transversales llevados a cabo en todo el mundo, que evaluaron mediante el test Course Navette la capacidad aeróbica en escolares de Educación Primaria. En total, 19 estudios fueron incluidos en la revisión. La mayoría de los estudios muestran que los niños y niñas de primaria de diferentes países tienen una capacidad cardiorrespiratoria considerada como saludable. No obstante, las medias encontradas no son lo suficientemente eminentes, donde la volatilidad entre participantes resulta elevada. Por ello, es necesario mejorar los niveles de capacidad física en escolares, como un factor de importancia capital para el mantenimiento y optimización de la salud; especialmente, entre aquellos que se encuentran por debajo de los umbrales definidos para el riesgo cardiovascular. Aerobic capacity has been extensively studied over the years because of its relationship to fitness, sports performance, and health. For its evaluation, a widely used instrument is the Course Navette test, which indirectly calculates the maximum oxygen consumption. The objective of this study was to know the current panorama of the level of aerobic capacity in primary school children, determined through the Course Navette test. A systematic review was carried out on transversal studies carried out all over the world, which evaluated aerobic capacity in primary school children by means of the Course Navette test. A total of 19 studies were included in the review. Most studies show that primary school children in different countries have a cardiorespiratory capacity that is not considered a health risk. However, the averages found are not eminent enough, where volatility among participants is high. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the levels of physical capacity in schoolchildren, as a factor of capital importance for the maintenance and optimization of health, especially among those who are below the thresholds defined for cardiovascular risk.

COVID-19 infection and the resultant restrictions has impacted all aspects of life across the world. This study explores factors that promote or support wellbeing for young people during the pandemic, how they differ by age, using a self-reported online survey with those aged 8–25 in Wales between September 2020 and February 2021. Open-ended responses were analysed via thematic analysis to provide further context. A total of 6,291 responses were obtained from 81 education settings across Wales (including primary and secondary schools as well as sixth form, colleges and universities). Wellbeing was highest in primary school children and boys and lowest in those who were at secondary school children, who were girls and, those who preferred not to give a gender. Among primary school children, higher wellbeing was seen for those who played with lots of others (rather than alone), were of Asian ethnicity (OR 2.17, 95% CI: 1.26 to 4.3), had a safe play area (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.67 to 2.56) and had more sleep. To support their wellbeing young people reported they would like to be able to play with their friends more. Among secondary school children those who were of mixed ethnicity reported lower wellbeing (OR: 5.14, 95% CI: 1.68 to 15.79). To support their wellbeing they reported they would like more support with mental health (due to anxiety and pressure to achieve when learning online). This study found self-reported wellbeing differed by gender, ethnicity and deprivation and found younger children report the need for play and to see friends to support wellbeing but older children/young people wanted more support with anxiety and educational pressures.

The article proposes to consider a cycle of lessons for younger students, the purpose of which is to familiarize themselves with the culinary traditions of different countries. The concept developed with the active participation of the author and implemented in the course "Gastronomic travel" is intended to complement the educational subject "The World Around Us": during the lessons, the preparation of national dishes by students is accompanied by a complete "regional immersion". Based on the research of reputable psychologists and teachers, the significance of the role-playing game for the child as a means of understanding the world and preparing for further serious activity is revealed. Its relevance is emphasized not only for preschoolers, but also for children of primary school age. Particular attention is paid to the practice of using educational and play techniques in the educational process of primary school, which allows you to avoid routine, stimulates the child's cognitive interest, creates conditions for his free self-expression and development.

The human-nature relationship is a topical issue of modern nature management. The knowledge accu-mulated by ancestors is the basis for the ecological thinking of subsequent generations. There is not a single nation in the world that does not have its own system of ecological traditions, through which rela-tions with the surrounding world are regulated. However, the interest in nature-study is noticeably decreasing among today’s youth. The authors sug-gest one of the possible solutions to this problem. The paper describes the experience of forming orni-thological knowledge of primary school children during ornithological excursions. The pedagogical conditions that increase the efficiency of this pro-cess are determined. The integration of Buryat folk-lore about nature into the process of natural science training of primary school children is considered as the main pedagogical condition for experimental work.
