Study on the integration of peripheral vision in physical education: The body as a tool for learning and balance in adolescents of the technological era.

asbstract: In the digital age, young people are immersed in a technological environment that limits physical movement and promotes fragmented perception, negatively affecting attention and motor skills. This study explores an innovative approach, integrating peripheral vision training into physical education to enhanceboth motor and cognitive aspects. The aim is to counteract the "disembodiment" typical of the post-human era, restoring the body’s central role. Fifty-six adolescents (mean age 12.6 years) were divided into two groups: experimental and control. Both participated in a three-month physical education programme, but only the experimental group received interventions based on the Sicrony method, focusing on pe-ripheral vision stimulation. Cognitive and motor performance were assessed through stand-ardised tests (TMT-B, SEBT, VST) at the start (T0) and end (T1) of the programme.The experimental group showed significant improvements in the TMT-B (p=0.003) and VST (p<0.05) tests, suggesting that body and vision training positively influenced attention and visual recognition. The findings support an integrated educational approach that values the body in the learning process, balancing the impact of technology and fostering balanced development. This perspective positions physical education as a tool to reconcile bodily ex-perience with contemporary technological interactions, supporting learning
