Effects of a training program on stable vs unstable surfaces on postural stability. [Efectos de un programa de entrenamiento en superficies estables …
2019
The training surface can modulate the body’s response to training stimuli. The purpose of the article was to determine the influence of two types of training programs on stable/unstable surfaces on postural stability. 20 physically active participants with no history of lower limb injuries were randomly assigned to 3 groups (Control, Unstable Training, Stable Training), and performed supervised training in 16 sessions. Dynamic postural stability and static stability were assessed and tests were performed at baseline after completion of the training and 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the training process. The stable surface training group improved dynamic stability between the pre-test and the two f…
Football clubs ownership and management. The fans perspective. [Propiedad y gestión de los clubes de fútbol. La perspectiva de los aficionados].
2014
Two decades after the entry into force of the law that stimulated the conversion of the football clubs into public limited sports companies (Sport Law of 1990), this article presents an investigation on the perceptions that the fans have of its configuration and functioning. The changes that have taken place in the ownership and management of the clubs are examined from the point of view of the fans, as well as the consequences that these changes have had in their relation with the clubs. Following the presentation of the process that led to the transformation of the Spanish clubs of football in public limited sports companies, the main results of a qualitative research with 25 football fan…
El pensamiento del alumnado inactivo sobre sus experiencias negativas en educación física: los discursos del rendimiento, salutismo y masculinidad he…
2019
El propósito de este estudio es el análisis del pensamiento de los estudiantes inactivos sobre sus experiencias negativas en educación física y los discursos sociales asociados a ellas. Siete estudiantes de Bachillerato, cuatro chicos y tres chicas, clasificados como inactivos en una fase de investigación cuantitativa previa, participaron en entrevistas semiestructuradas. Cuatro temas resultaron del análisis temático de las experiencias negativas contadas por el alumnado. El primero mostraba cómo los estudiantes inactivos sufren las consecuencias de unas clases y evaluación orientadas por el profesorado hacia el rendimiento físico, especialmente los chicos obesos y las chicas con baja compe…
Students’ physical activity intensity and sedentary behaviour by physical self-concept profiles: A latent profile analysis. [Intensidad de la activid…
2020
Abstract Aims of this study were to identify student clusters in physical appearance, sport competence, global physical self-concept and self-esteem, and to examine whether different physical self-concept groups differ in their moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behaviour. Participants of the study were 211 boys and 183 girls aged 13-16 years. MVPA and sedentary behaviour were monitored by GT3X accelerometers during seven days. Participants’ physical self-concept was measured by the short Physical Self-Description Questionnaire. Latent profile analyses revealed a four-cluster solution: 1) “low sport competence, moderate global physical self-concept and self-esteem, …

Language, Childhood, and Fire: How We Learned to Love Sharing Stories.
2022
Stories do not fossilize. Thus, exploring tales shared during prehistory, the longest part of human history inevitably becomes speculative. Nevertheless, various attempts have been made to find a more scientifically valid way into our deep human past of storytelling. Following the social brain hypothesis, we suggest including into the theory of human storytelling more fine-grained and evidence-based findings (from archaeology, the cognitive sciences, and evolutionary psychology) about the manifold exaptation and adaptation, genetic changes, and phenotypic plasticity in the deep human past, which all shaped the emergence of storytelling in hominins. We identify three preconditions for humans…

¿Cómo se trata el tiempo atmosférico y el clima en la Educación Primaria? Una exploración a partir de los recursos y actividades de los manuales de t…
2020
El estudio del clima y del tiempo atmosférico constituye una tarea fundamental en la formación del alumnado (en todos sus niveles) debido a la enorme transcendencia social que tiene para gran parte de las actividades cotidianas. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar los recursos y actividades sobre Climatología que se proponen en los manuales de texto de Primaria (3er Ciclo; Ciencias Sociales) de la Comunidad Valenciana (España). Metodológicamente se han consultado las principales editoriales que se utilizan en esta región. Los resultados indican que actualmente los libros de texto son meramente informativos y transmisivos. Respecto a los recursos, gran parte de los que se utilizan …
The Reason of Imagination. The Blazing Worlds of Margaret Cavendish and Siri Hustvedt
2020
One of the peculiarities of 17th and 18th centuries literature is the link between knowledge and imagination, a relationship in which narration sometimes accompanies science, sometimes goes beyond it. The idea of imagination as a true means of knowledge is the subject of Margaret Cavendish’s best known work, The Blazing World (1666), where her alter ego is free to built a whole social and philosophical system based on corporality and subjectivity. From the same conception of imagination starts Siri Hustvedt when in 2014 rewrites The Blazing World: the story of an artist who still in the twentieth century tries to face the overwhelming misogyny with the performance of the body and the theory…
Rethinking exchange and prices
2017
Our monetary economies of production are not based upon relative exchanges described by the standard theory. Money is neither a commodity nor a positive asset; it cannot be exchanged against physical goods and services. It follows that payments do not consist of mutual transfers of commodities. In fact, each producer working for the needs for the community produces wealth for himself. Further, transactions on any markets are absolute exchanges. One of the consequences of this is that market prices do not measure wealth; rather, they are coefficients of redistribution of products.
