ABSTRACT
Objective: to determine the level of physical activity (NAF), screen time (TP) and sleep habits (HS) in Chilean adolescents, during the COVID-19 quarantine. Methodology: descriptive and correlational study with a sample of 196 adolescents from different regions of Chile. Results: In general, the most active students did not exceed the PD recommendations and reported higher values of sleep quality and total score compared to those who did not meet both. Conclusion: the study indicates that, under a quarantine context, the variables are more altered in the female gender, in addition, the need to jointly analyze and monitor the NAF, TP and HS is evident to avoid disorders related to the health of the males.

ABSTRACT
The confinement caused by the current health situation has unleashed an increase in sedentary behaviors in childhood, causing uncertainty about the effects that have impacted their child development. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of sedentary behavior on the level of physical activity and development of executive functions in second cycle basic students during the confinement caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The methodology was descriptive, having a quantitative approach and the data collection was carried out through two questionnaires applied to 41 students in an age range between 10 to 12 years, belonging to educational establishments in the Maule region, Nuble. and Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins in Chile. The main results indicate that sedentary behaviors influence the level of physical activity as well as the improvement of executive functions, regardless of geographic location, sex or age. It is concluded that it is necessary to promote actions aimed at using more of the free time to practice physical activity, with the intention of breaking sedentary habits and increasing their levels in order to reduce the negative consequences that this type of behavior can bring.

ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on the educational system in all its teaching and learning activities, and in the specific case of the practical training of teachers. This study seeks to investigate through qualitative research with a comprehensive interpretive approach, the training of the practicum of Physical Education teachers in Chile, considering the knowledge and experiences, in the context of virtual classrooms during the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were used to collect the data;and were analyzed with the content analysis technique. As result, it can be observed that the students manifest diverse experiences in their practicum process, with difficulties inherent to the remote work condition, such as difficulty in communication with students and school teachers, problems in didactic and evaluation processes, and adaptation to context. It is necessary to discuss the access of students and teachers to technologies, as well as the training of physical education teachers in areas of didactic and assessment in contexts where face-to-face is difficult. © 2021 The authors and IJLTER.ORG.
