The Covid-19 pandemic was an event that triggered a number of short and long term consequences, particularly the physical and psychological state of older adults. The objective of this degree project is to analyze the effect of a physical activity program on the mood and physical condition of older adults at the Tomebamba Health Center. The methodology used was quasi-experimental and descriptive. The universe of the study consisted of adults over 60 years of age, with a sample of 20 participants by convenience, who participated freely and voluntarily. The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) battery was used to measure the physical condition variable, which is composed of 6 tests. It is evident that after the intervention the group improved physical capacities: resistance (13-15 laps), strength (18-24 rep.), flexibility (-0.10 cm), speed (5.45 sec). Mood was measured by means of the Mood Rating Scale (EVEA), a questionnaire consisting of 16 items with a Likert scale from 0 to 10. In this case, the results showed that there was an improvement of 85% in the evaluation of happiness and a decrease in the categories of anxiety 15%, depression 10% and hostility 10%. In conclusion, the physical activity program had a positive effect on both physical condition and mood, showing potential values in the posttest results in each of the tests, with benefits for this group.

People with hearing disabilities, during the confinement caused by Covid-19 pandemic, were adapted to a new lifestyle, introducing biosecurity measures in the practice of physical activity (A.F.) as an option of benefit and protection (Huete García, 2020); The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and mood in people with hearing disabilities who train tennis at the Cross Tennis Academy in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, applying a study of observational type of longitudinal cut, correlational, carrying out the IPAQ-L battery, measuring with this test the level of A.F. and the POMS test identifying mood, with its respective factors: tension, hostility, vigor, depression, fatigue and confusion (McNair et al., 1971); before and after sports practice. In the data collection, a casual sampling was carried out to tennis players with mild, moderate and severe hearing loss of the mentioned academy, obtaining a population of 10 athletes, aged between 19-26 years, for data analysis the basis of the statistical software SPSS version 25 and Excel, is the tool that allowed to enter the results of the test and retest, for their respective interpretation and comparison. The results shows that there is a positive relationship despite not observing major changes between the test and retest of the POMS battery, but considering the negative factors of the pandemic, it is concluded that the practice of moderate-high physical activity in pandemic helps to maintain and not decrease the levels of total mood Disorder (TMD), avoiding the total decline of mental and psychological health.

Precompetitive anxiety and human mood have been studied extensively in sport psychology. However, there is a shortage of studies carried out in combat sports, especially in judo. The objective of this research was to analyze the main bibliographic sources on the profile of human mood and precompetitive anxiety in judo players. It was carried out a systematic analysis of the literature research published in the databases Dialnet, Scielo, Redalyc, Scopus, Journal of Sport and Health Research, in digital magazines such as “EF Deportes”, “Revista de Artes Marciales” and “Revista de Psicología Deportiva”. The research criteria were the descriptor “anxiety in judo players”, “human mood in judo players” and its translation into English. 11 scientific articles were collected developed between 2000 and 2019. Different theories were identified that relate precompetitive anxiety to sports performance, as well as the use of the iceberg profile concept to name the optimal human mood of an athlete. Revised articles were grouped into three categories for better understanding, the first corresponding to the definition of precompetitive anxiety, of which two subscales called somatic anxiety and cognitive anxiety are prolonged. The second category that involved the concept of human mood and a third that included all those studies that were carried out using instruments or questionnaires that allowed the measurement of the variables anxiety and human mood. Precompetitive anxiety and human mood are factors that influence sports performance positively or negatively. When the athlete is able to use that anxiety in his favor and achieve favorable results, there is talk of a positive effect on sports performance; usually it occurs with the most experienced athletes. By the count, whether anxiety or human mood negatively influences the athlete causing either negative thoughts or physical signs of anxiety such as sweating, tremors, etc. the effects of these variables on performance will caus
