Study of behavioral and neurophysiological mechanisms following motor imagery training
2017
For many years, research in motor control, sport science and rehabilitation focused on the performance improvement following mental practice. However, some mechanisms, behavioral and neurophysiological, remain insufficiently understood. In our first study, we demonstrated the impossibility to predict the future performance improvement following imagined repetitions of a speed accuracy trade-off task, with a subjective evaluation of imagery ability of young healthy individuals. However, it is essential to produce clear and vivid mental simulations throughout the training to obtain a better performance improvement. Besides, by a further analysis of performance, the results of our second study…
Effects of Different Long-Term Exercise Modalities on Tissue Stiffness
2022
AbstractStiffness is a fundamental property of living tissues, which may be modified by pathologies or traumatic events but also by nutritional, pharmacological and exercise interventions. This review aimed to understand if specific forms of exercise are able to determine specific forms of tissue stiffness adaptations. A literature search was performed on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases to identify manuscripts addressing adaptations of tissue stiffness as a consequence of long-term exercise. Muscular, connective, peripheral nerve and arterial stiffness were considered for the purpose of this review. Resistance training, aerobic training, plyometric training and stretching were r…

Effectiveness of Cognitive Training for School-Aged Children and Adolescents With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review
2020
Problems with executive functions (EF) are hallmark characteristics of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Therefore, this review analyzed the efficacy of cognitive training for EF in reducing ADHD symptomatology and improving educational, interpersonal, and occupational outcomes in children and adolescents with this disorder. A systematic search, using a PICO (population/participant, intervention/indicator, comparator/control, outcome) framework was carried out. From 2008 to 2018, resorting to EBSCOhost, the following databases were searched: Academic Search Complete, ERIC, MEDLINE with Full Text, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection. Twent…
Education and Training for Parents Today, Discipline and Wellbeing for Children Tomorrow
2014
Abstract Children's upbringing is one of the most important and difficult roles and challenges for parents today. This paper presents a new model of parenting training developed within the project “BE Supportive, NOT violent! Positive parenting for happy children!”- III Daphne Programme (European Commission). Parents from several countries – among them Spain – were trained receiving informative background as well as practical advice for everyday use. The main results show that parents acquired useful techniques for upbringing children as communication skills or strategies to set limits, and moreover they got to know more about children's development. In this sense, providing basic knowledge…
La formación inicial del profesorado de Educación Secundaria: una mirada comparativa en la Unión Europea
2011
El artículo comienza exponiendo los modelos que se han utilizado en la formación del profesorado de Secundaria y sus características, para adentrarse en el modelo de formación español y analizarlo a la luz de esos paradigmas formativos. Posteriormente se describe el cambio realizado en España con la introducción del Máster de Formación del Profesorado de Secundaria, estudiando el efecto de los cambios y las dificultades habidas en su introducción. En la segunda parte se analiza la formación de los docentes europeos desde variables como el modelo formativo, los salarios, el tiempo de trabajo o la jubilación, y se establece una serie de conclusiones finales sobre la realidad y la prospectiva …
Exploration of the Potential Energy Landscape of Aniline Using CASSCF and XMCQDPT2 Electronic Structure Calculations
2016
In this chapter, the tools introduced in Chap. 2 are applied to the study of the photochemistry of aniline. This work has been initiated during a six-month fellowship in the group of Professor Helen Fielding in the Chemistry Department of University College London, in the framework of the FASTQUAST Initial Training Network.
Prácticas escolares y docentes en formación: un análisis axiológico a través de los diarios de prácticas
2021
Los valores impregnan la realidad y forman parte de todo acto educativo, convirtiéndose el docente en ejemplo de comportamientos y actitudes para el alumnado. De este modo, la construcción identitaria profesional y personal de los docentes estará determinada por las elecciones valorativas que se realicen en el contexto escolar. Partiendo de esta premisa, el objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer los valores que vivencian los docentes en formación en el prácticum a través de las experiencias registradas en los diarios de prácticas. La muestra la han compuesto 80 estudiantes matriculados en la asignatura Prácticas Escolares I del Grado en Educación Primaria de la Universidad Internacional d…
THE PEDAGOGICAL EVALUATION OF THE RESPONSIVENESS OF PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS
2020
With the guidelines for pre-school education coming into effect, a paradigm change has occurred in Latvia, focusing on a child-centred educational process. Contradictions can be observed in the professional training of pre-school teachers. Clearly, pre-school educators ensure the transfer of values to the next generation and the stability of the system of education; nevertheless, their activity is often focused on imparting reproductive knowledge and skills and following familiar algorithms and stereotypes. The innovative trend – the development of child’s social and emotional skills – is not always dominant in the work of pre-school teachers. The aim of the research is to analyse the views…
Fitness testing in tennis: Influence of anthropometric characteristics, physical performance, and functional test on serve velocity in professional p…
2021
The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between anthropometric variables, physical performance, and functional test with serve velocity regarding tennis players’ level and to design regression models that effectively predict serve velocity. A sample of sixteen male tennis players participated in this study (national level = 8, professional level = 7). Anthropometric measurements (body mass, height, body mass index and body segments) and physical test (hand strength, countermovement jump, jump on serve, and serve velocity) and functional test (medicine ball throw overhead and shot put) were performed. No differences in anthropometrics and physical test were found between nati…
