Effects of an eccentric training programme on hamstring strain injuries in women football players

2015

Summary Study aim: to test the hypothesis that an eccentric training programme applied on women football players would reduce the hamstring injury rate by improving thigh muscle balance and, particularly, hamstring strength. Material and methods: three football teams were recruited for this randomised controlled trial. They played in the first and second divisions in Spain. Players were randomised within clubs either to the intervention (eccentric exercises, n = 22) or control (control exercises, n = 21) groups, and randomisation was stratified according to previous history of thigh strains. The eccentric programme was divided into 3 phases, and each phase was composed of 7 weeks. Complianc…

Heavy vs Light Load Single-Joint Exercise Performance with Different Rest Intervals

2017

Abstract The aim of the study was to compare the effect of three distinct rest period lengths between sets of upper body single-joint exercise with different load zones and volume designed for either endurance or hypertrophy (50% or 80% of 1-RM). Sixteen trained men (20.75 ± 2.54 years; 76.35 ± 5.03 kg; 176.75 ± 3.33 cm, 24.53 ± 1.47 kg/m2) performed a test and retest of 1-RM on non-consecutive days. Forty-eight hours after load testing, the participants were randomly assigned to six sessions consisting of four sets of the triceps pull-down, combining different intensities with distinct rest periods between sets. The shorter 1 minute rest promoted a significant reduction in the total repeti…

Acute Cardiovascular Responses after a Single Bout of Blood Flow Restriction Training.

2018

Different types of exercise might produce reductions in blood pressure (BP). One physiological mechanism that could explain the lowering adaptation effect on BP after an exercise program is an improved in baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity. Consequently, exploring the different methods of training and their post-exercise hypotension (PEH) becomes of interest for healthcare providers. Recently, it has been suggested that blood flow restriction training (BFR) can generate PEH. The aim of this study was to determine the acute response on cardiovascular variables after low intensity resistance training with BFR in normotensive subjects. Twenty-four male (24.38±3.88 years) p…

“Hot Case-workers and Squint-eyed Whores” - Sexual Harassment of Norwegian Social- and Health Care Students in Practical Training

2022

Sexual harassment is a societal challenge. Youth, women, students, and health care professionals are some of the groups most at risk for experiencing sexual harassment. In this study, we examine how higher education institutions and practice institutions handle sexual harassment and how students in practical training experience and cope with sexual harassment. A survey and in-depth interviews were conducted among nursing students and social work students at one Norwegian university. Our results indicate that students experience sexual harassment during practice that is an obligatory part of training, that guidance and follow-up are often lacking, and that they experience negative consequenc…

LE COMPETENZE DELL’INSEGNANTE DI STORIA NELLA SCUOLA PRIMARIA TRA PASSATO, PRESENTE E FUTURO

2022

La formazione del docente di storia nella scuola primaria si è dovuta confrontare, nel corso della storia della scuola italiana, con non poche sfide pedagogiche. In primo luogo, la ridefinizione dell’identità del sapere storico, avviata fin dal secondo dopoguerra, ha prodotto una innovazione didattica che, messa a tema nei Programmi ministeriali per la scuola elementare del 1985, ha inaugurato la didattica del laboratorio storico. Inoltre, la crescita della didattica e il dibattito sulla formazione scolastica, intensificatosi negli anni Novanta, hanno avuto come esito l’introduzione delle competenze nell’insegnamento della storia. Sullo sfondo di queste due emergenze non vanno trascurate qu…

Kenen historiaa monikulttuurisessa koulussa?

2006

Most changes that ethnic and cultural diversity brings to teachers' work are perhaps shared by any teachers irrespective of school form or subject specialisation, but some of them are more directly subject-specific. History as a school subject is not only an academic reconstruction of the past but also a reflection of the nation's collective memory which is a more subjective and affective relation to the past. Due to the relatedness of historical memory and collective identity history education in any society although not necessarily in all schools, has a tendency to reflect the ethnocentric characteristics of the national narratives. These characteristics are, however, becoming more and mo…

Narrative inquiry and historical skills. A study in teacher training

2017

This paper addresses narrative thinking and literacy levels in future primary school teachers in Spain. It uses the study of a historical synthesis of one of the main narratives in Spanish history: the Christian expansion through Muslim territories in the Iberian Peninsula in the Middle Ages. Accounts by 283 students of the degree in elementary school teaching at the universities of Valencia and Murcia were studied. The aim was to ascertain the students' discursive abilities with respect to their historical thinking skills. The results reveal poor narrative skills in future teachers and a very low level of historical literacy.
