Abstract
The concern for the body and the stereotypes associated with the physical activity transmitted by digital applications introduced by teachers to energize teaching is a substantial topic, although it has been little researched. This study shows the validation of the initial adaptation process of a measuring instrument and the items of the scale, called ‘REICAF’ (Stereotypes of Body Image and Physical Activity), to analyse the body and physical activity stereotypes associated with the images that appear in Physical Activity Apps and software. We used a descriptive-cross-sectional methodology through Delphi technique, with the participation of a panel of 6 experts (n=6). The elaboration and validation of the instrument was carried out after two rounds of the analysis by the panel of experts and the piloting of the questionnaire. The internal consistency and reliability of the tool reported very high values (α=.926), thus showing values of K≥.626 in all items. This study concludes that the tool can be used for teachers and researchers and software creators to acquire critical judgment about the mentioned stereotypes.
