Corporeità e formazione: il ruolo della Danza Movimento Terapia nei corsi universitari di Scienze dell'Educazione

2019

A partire da una riflessione sulle specificità professionali degli educatori e dall'intreccio della dimensione personale con quella professionale nelle professioni educative, Il saggio tratta della necessità di adottare una nuova prospettiva formativa, che consideri l'unità mente-corpo, la dimensione artistica e la riflessività nei processi di apprendimento dei futuri educatori. Esplicita quindi le ragioni di un apprendimento dall'esperienza e sottolinea l'importanza della dimensione di gruppo, approfondendo infine le peculiarità della Danza Movimento terapia e l'efficacia di un percorso laboratoriale che utilizzi le sue metodologie Reflecting about educators professional specificities and …

Neural Adaptations to Strength Training

2018

Scientific study of strength training has revealed numerous physiological mechanisms that contribute to: (1) acute fatigue from a single strength training session and (2) chronic adaptation to repetitive and systematic strength training. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is initially to discuss potential neural mechanisms that influence force production from the perspective of a single repetition. Thereafter, the chapter will highlight scientific evidence for candidate neural mechanisms that acutely limit force production during a single strength training session and long-term adaptations caused by strength training. For some of these potential neural mechanisms, there is strong scient…

Effect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey protein

2010

Regardless of age or gender, resistance training or provision of adequate amounts of dietary protein (PRO) or essential amino acids (EAA) can increase muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in healthy adults. Combined PRO or EAA ingestion proximal to resistance training, however, can augment the post-exercise MPS response and has been shown to elicit a greater anabolic effect than exercise plus carbohydrate. Unfortunately, chronic/adaptive response data comparing the effects of different protein sources is limited. A growing body of evidence does, however, suggest that dairy PRO, and whey in particular may: 1) stimulate the greatest rise in MPS, 2) result in greater muscle cross-sectional area when…

A Case of Four Prospective Adult Class Teachers’ Mathematical Identity Work

2018

Research on adult students’ the mathematical identity work has not been explored so much. In this study I try to understand four prospective adult class teachers’ identity works on the basis of their learning diaries during a mathematics education course (6 ECTS). These four prospective class teachers’ reported they had negative experiences of mathematics during their school years but later in their lives the views towards mathematics had changed to a positive direction. However, the identity work during the mathematics education course revealed that life experiences had not changed the most fundamental views towards mathematics, mathematics learning and teaching. During the mathematics edu…

Individuality of responses to bilateral and unilateral volume equated hypertrophic strength training in physically active men

2019

Purpose. The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible differences between unilateral and bilateral strength training during ten weeks progressive hypertrophic strength training and six weeks detraining period. Furthermore, it was examined possible different individual responders in muscle hypertrophy during strength training and, how those different responders would behave during the detraining phase following the training period. Methods. The present intervention included ten weeks of progressive hypertrophic resistance training followed by six weeks of detraining in healthy young men (n=24). Ultrasound was used to measure vastus lateralis (VL) muscle cross-sectional area (…

Isometric force-time parameters in monitoring of strength training : with special reference to acute responses to different loading resistances

2017

The aim of the present series of studies was to investigate acute neuromuscular responses to (1) different strength training loadings and using (2) different external resistances. In addition, chronic adaptations and dynamic performances were compared to (3) the changes in isometric force-time parameters at the group level, and to (4) the individual timing of the improvement in the rate of force development (RFD) due to hypertrophic or maximum strength followed by power strength training periods. The latter one was achieved by systematic, repeated monitoring. Sixty-nine physically active men (20-35 yrs), but not experienced in resistance training, took part in the present series of studies.…

Intervention studies to foster resilience – A systematic review and proposal for a resilience framework in future intervention studies

2017

Psychological resilience refers to the phenomenon that many people are able to adapt to the challenges of life and maintain mental health despite exposure to adversity. This has stimulated research on training programs to foster psychological resilience. We evaluated concepts, methods and designs of 43 randomized controlled trials published between 1979 and 2014 which assessed the efficacy of such training programs and propose standards for future intervention research based on recent developments in the field. We found that concepts, methods and designs in current resilience intervention studies are of limited use to properly assess efficacy of interventions to foster resilience. Major pro…

Mediación intercultural: clave en la formación inicial y desarrollo docente para educar en la sociedad diversa

2019

Este artículo trata de recoger la diversidad cultural existente en las aulas del sistema educativo español realizando una breve revisión de la evolución de la escolarización del alumnado migrante en las aulas. Además, busca visibilizar las ausencias de la formación inicial del profesorado en clave de mediación intercultural desde las directrices marcadas desde los equivalentes al actual Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional. Finalmente presenta las acciones y recursos educativos que ha implementado cada comunidad autónoma para dar respuesta a la sociedad diversa en la que vivimos, mostrando el abanico de posibilidades y las diferencias autonómicas existente. Todo ello nos muestra …

Sustainable virtual teams: promoting well-being through affect management training and openness to experience configurations

2021

A disruptive digitalization recently occurred that led to the fast adoption of virtual teams. However, membership diversity and team virtuality threaten members’ well-being, especially if faultlines appear (i.e., subgroups). Considering the job demands–resources model and the role of group affect in shaping members’ perceptions of well-being, we test the effectiveness of a short-term affect management training for increasing members’ eudaimonic well-being. Moreover, based on the trait activation theory and the contingent configuration approach, we draw on the personality composition literature to test how different openness to experience configurations of team level and diversity together m…
