"Dichos índices de tamaño del efecto se evaluaron de acuerdo con los niveles propuestos por Cohen (1988). Se comprobó previamente el cumplimiento del supuesto de homocedasticidad con **la prueba F de Levene** para las variables transversales y se utilizó la F ajustada de Greenhouse-Geisser para las variables de medidas repetidas con más de un grado de libertad."

Levene's test
It's more common (in English at least) to refer to the test as simply "Levene's test." Some sample sources below.
...for some reason my links aren't working in the link field. pasted here:

I think the simplest way to explain it is that Levene's test is technically a *type* of F test (an F test is a somewhat generic concept with many different specific cases), but it's not the most common type. If someone refers simply to an F test, they are probably talking about something other than Levene's test. On the other hand, there is only a single test called Levene's test, so referring to it as Levene's F test isn't any more specific.

Not my subject, hence the 3, but Googling appears to confirm this.
