Abstract
The growing practice of hypopressive exercise (HE) in sports or fitness centers sets up the possibility of including it as content in the framework of physical-healthy activity in physical education sessions. In this way, the aim of the study was to find out the perceptions and perceived benefits after practice of an Educational Component (EC) of hypopressive exercise (HE) by high-school students. The sample was made up of 120 high-school students from a state institute in Vigo, who took part in an EC of HE. An ad-hoc questionnaire was drawn up to find out their subjective impressions, possible perceived benefits and perceptions about ease or difficulty in the technical learning. The results reveal high unawareness of HE (82%). 49% viewed them as good physical education practice. The greatest difficulties in learning them were: apnea (28%), the abdominal vacuum (38%) and postural positioning (33%). HE may be planned as innovative content in physical education sessions, as a respiratory and postural training methodology, but demands an appropriate progression in its teaching-learning.
