Studentu radošuma veicināšana vizuālās mākslas studijās
2013
Anotācija Daigas Kalējas-Gasparovičas promocijas darbā ,,Studentu radošuma veicināšana vizuālās mākslas studijās”, pētot studentu radošumu un tā veicināšanu vizuālās mākslas studijās atklājot personības darbības pieeju vizuālās mākslas apguvē kā studentiem personīgi nozīmīgu radošuma attīstības iespēju, tiek izveidots teorētiski pamatots vizuālās mākslas apguves modelis un empīriski pārbaudīta tā ietekme un efektivitāte studentu radošuma veicināšanā studijās. Analizēta radošuma jēdziena daudznozīmība starpzinātņu kontekstā, teorētiskās koncepcijas mākslas pedagoģijā, atbilstoši personības darbības teorijas nostādnēm, apzinātas pedagoģiskās iespējas docētāja un studentu radošai sadarbībai.

Force transmission and interactions between synergistic muscles
2023
The classical view of muscles as independent motors has been challenged over the past decades. An alternative view has emerged in which muscles are not isolated but embedded in a three-dimensional connective tissue network that links them to adjacent muscles and other non-muscular structures in the body. Animal studies showing that the forces measured at the distal and proximal ends of a muscle are not equal have provided undisputable evidence that these connective tissue linkages are strong enough to serve as an extra pathway for muscular force transmission. In this historical review, we first introduce the terminology and anatomy related to these pathways of muscle force transmission and …
Creating and maintaining social networks: women’s participation in Basque pilota. [Creación y mantenimiento de redes sociales: participación de mujer…
2015
Basque pilota is a traditional sport played mainly by men. A project emerged in 2005 to promote female participation: Emakumea Pilotari (Woman pelota player). In this article we present the main points that emerged from an ethnographic study of the social relationships that playing Basque pilota can provide. The study was carried out in 2011-2012 season with a purposive sample of 28 adult women Basque pilota players (pilotaris) (between 22 and 60 years old). 26 participants were pilotaris in recreational groups and the other two were their trainers. The results suggest that a sense of community, team membership, the development of a general reciprocity and group security are the most import…
Longitudinal physical activity patterns and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors during adolescence
2023
Purpose To examine the associations between longitudinal physical activity (PA) patterns and the development of cardiometabolic risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood. Methods This cohort study encompassed 250 participants recruited from sports clubs and schools, and examined at mean age 15 and 19. Device-measured moderate-to-vigorous PA was grouped into five patterns (via a data-driven method, using inactivity maintainers as a reference). The outcomes were: glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI). Linear growth curve models were applied wit…
Validation in Young Soccer Players of the Modified Version of the Harre Circuit Test: The Petrucci Ability Test
2021
The evaluation of soccer players’ physical fitness from youth onward is important for monitoring performance and planning training. While health-related factors present valid and reliable tests, the skill-related component should be studied in depth. An interesting test to evaluate the skill-related factors is the Harre circuit test (HTC); unfortunately, this test includes the somersault, an element not present in soccer. The aim of the present study is the validation of the Petrucci ability test (PAT), a variation of the HTC without the somersault for young soccer players. Children and adolescents (age range 10–13 years old) soccer players concluded the 20-m, the HTC and the PAT. To establ…
