Abstract

In the present research we have analysed the role of Body Expression, as a block of Physical Education content in Primary and Secondary Education, in the development of the Executive Functions of Working Memory and Inhibitory Control. For this purpose, a sample of 37 Physical Education teachers from schools all over Spain was selected and a questionnaire consisting of 23 items was used as an instrument for data collection. In addition, an in-depth analysis was made of the existing scientific literature on the subject to date. We can conclude from the data that Physical Education teachers perceive that the contents of Body Expression have a favourable influence on the improvement of aspects that encompass the Executive Functions of Inhibitory Control and Working Memory. Thus, the results obtained in this study would represent an important contribution to the fields of Neuroeducation and Corporal Expression.
