Resumen

The main objective of the investigation was to evaluate the change in perception of students inthe use of Instagram as a learning medium for qualitative biomechanical analysis as a part oftheir undergraduate sports science programme. 106 undergraduate students filled out aquestionnaire on the use of smartphones, social networks and Instagram in a biomechanicsclassroom before and after participating in an assignment.The results of our study show thechange in perspective in the participants about the use of social networks to do assignments,specifically in Biomechanics (PRE 3.0±1.4 vs POST 3.6±1.1, p<0.001). Also, their opinions onthe effects of privacy did not change (PRE 3.1±1.1 vs POST 3.0±1.0, p=0.51). The resutsindicate that Instagram could turn into a powerful resource in undergraduate sports scienceeducation programs complementing traditional learning tools to facilitate learning.
