Studio sull'integrazione della visione periferica nell'educazione fisica: il corpo come strumento di apprendimento ed equilibrio negli adolescenti dell'era tecnologica

peripheral vision; physical education; cognitive development; motor skills; technology impact.Abstract
Nell'era digitale, i giovani sono immersi in un ambiente tecnologico che limita il movimento fisico e promuove una percezione frammentata, influendo negativamente sull'attenzione e sulle abilità motorie. Questo studio esplora un approccio innovativo, integrando l'allenamento della visione periferica nell'educazione fisica per migliorare sia gli aspetti motori che cognitivi. L'obiettivo è contrastare il fenomeno del "disincarnazione" tipico dell'era post-umana, restituendo al corpo un ruolo centrale. Cinquantasei adolescenti (età media 12,6 anni) sono stati divisi in due gruppi: sperimentale e di controllo. Entrambi hanno partecipato a un programma di educazione fisica della durata di tre mesi, ma solo il gruppo sperimentale ha ricevuto interventi basati sul metodo Sicrony, focalizzati sulla stimolazione della visione periferica. Le performance cognitive e motorie sono state valutate attraverso test standardizzati (TMT-B, SEBT, VST) all'inizio (T0) e alla fine (T1) del programma. Il gruppo sperimentale ha mostrato miglioramenti significativi nei test TMT-B (p=0,003) e VST (p<0,05), suggerendo che l'allenamento del corpo e della visione abbia influenzato positivamente l'attenzione e il riconoscimento visivo. I risultati supportano un approccio educativo integrato che valorizza il corpo nel processo di apprendimento, bilanciando l'impatto della tecnologia e promuovendo uno sviluppo equilibrato. Questa prospettiva posiziona l'educazione fisica come strumento per riconciliare l'esperienza corporea con le interazioni tecnologiche contemporanee, favorendo l'apprendimento.
