Effects of exercise on life quality in a rheumatoid arthritis patient
2020
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic-degenerative disease characterized by symptoms that significantly impact on the functional capacity and thus, the ability to carry out daily functional activities reducing the quality of life (QoL). The aim was to evaluate the effects of a strength and conditioning (S&C) program on the quality of life (QoL), the self-perception disease impact, the self-fatigue perception and cardiovascular risk factors in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). 34-year-old woman (height: 1.40m; weight: 36.1kg) diagnosed with RA and CVD underwent a six-month S&C program with aerobic training 2-3 times a week in 1-3 sets of 5-15 minutes…
Longitudinal associations of physical activity and pubertal development with academic achievement in adolescents.
2020
Highlights • Boys with higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity had better academic achievement than those with lower levels of physical activity at baseline. • Physical activity was not associated with academic achievement at follow-up in boys or girls. • Continuously inactive adolescents had poorer academic achievement over the follow-up period than their more active peers. • Girls with more advanced pubertal status had better academic achievement than other girls.
Diez ideas potenciadoras para rendir al máximo en el deporte
2020
El objetivo principal del presente trabajo es el planteamiento de una propuesta práctica de ideas potenciadoras en el deporte. Parte de la base de la Psicología Cognitiva que plantea que existe una interpretación de los acontecimientos que influyen en las emociones y la conducta, y la Psicología Positiva que se centra en lo que se pretende conseguir en lugar de modificar aquello que funciona mal. Se toma como base las teorías cognitivas clásicas y más significativas, junto con diversas estrategias cognitivo-conductuales para aplicar conjuntamente a la implementación de estas ideas en el entorno deportivo. Este tipo de herramientas aplicadas son cada vez más necesarias para profesionales de …
The new version of the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence in Spanish children: Evidence of validity and reliability. [La nueva ve…
2019
The purpose of this study was to i) examine reliability and construct validity of the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (PMSC) aligned to the third version of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3) in a sample of Spanish children; and to ii) analyse the validity of the PMSC and children’s perceived motor competence (MC) according to gender. A convenience sample of 361 children (55.7% boys) between 4 and 11 years-old participated. The pictorial scale of PMSC (19 items) was administered (a random subsample repeated the PMSC twice). Test-retest reliability using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients and construct validity using a Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling a…
Interlake variation and environmental controls of denitrification across different geographical scales
2013
Denitrification in lakes significantly reduces the nitrogen (N) load from land to oceans, but the factors controlling it remain poorly under- stood. Therefore, interlake variation of denitrification in sediments of small to medium-sized lakes (from 0.03 to 17.8 km 2 ) was studied across different geo- graphical scales. At the local scale, the denitrification rates and sediment microbial communities were studied in 4 boreal lakes in close proximity (within 20 km) using the isotope pairing technique (IPT) and molecular methods. These local scale data were com- bined with previously published data on denitrifica- tion rates from 10 other European lakes to extend the analysis to the regional (b…
Peripheral Nerve Responses to Muscle Stretching: A Systematic Review
2021
Stretching is commonly used to increase range of motion and flexibility. Therefore, investigations are usually oriented towards the muscle-tendon unit. Limited evidence exists regarding potential effects of stretching on peripheral nerves which lie within muscles. The objective of this investigation will be to elucidate the responses of peripheral nerves to stretching. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Scopus, NLM Pubmed and ScienceDirect. Studies regarding the effects of stretching protocols on responses of peripheral nerves were retrieved for investigation. The NHLBI tool was used for quality assessment. Outcomes included nerve stiffness, nerve displacement,…
Perfil de la educación física y sus profesores desde el punto de vista de los alumnos. (Physical education and their teachers’ profile from the pupil…
2007
El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido conocer el pensamiento de los alumnos sobre la Educacion Fisica y sus profesores. Para ello, 788 estudiantes de Educacion Secundaria Obligatoria (337 alumnos y 451 alumnas) han respondido a un cuestionario abierto en el que se les preguntaba que es lo que mas y lo que menos les gusta de EF, como se imaginan a su profesor/a ideal de EF, y las tres caracteristicas mas importantes que deberia tener su profesor o profesora de EF. Tras un analisis de contenido de las respuestas de los alumnos se concluye que las cosas que mas les gustan de EF son las practicas de deportes de equipo y los juegos y actividades variadas; las cosas que menos les gustan son los eje…
Los libros de texto de educación física en la etapa de educación primaria: análisis de imágenes y estereotipos
2020
En investigaciones anteriores se ha podido comprobar que las imágenes que aparecían en los libros de texto de educación física (EF) en el tercer ciclo de educación primaria (EP) reproducían estereotipos relacionados con el género, la edad, el cuerpo, la raza o la discapacidad, en relación con la actividad física. Por ello se necesita ampliar la muestra y analizar este material curricular para comprobar si se han eliminado los estereotipos relacionados con el cuerpo y la actividad física o siguen presentes en los libros de texto. Por lo tanto, el objetivo general de esta tesis doctoral es analizar las imágenes relacionadas con los estereotipos corporales en la actividad física que aparecen e…

2020
Motivational climate and coach-behaviour seem important to understand sport involvement and participation. However, less is known about the potential interaction between these facets, and how it relates to athlete satisfaction. This study&rsquo
Natural recruitment contributes to high densities of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes, 1844) in Western Europe
2015
Introductions of grass carp, well known for their potentially negative ecosystem effects, have been performed in several countries around the world. As the species was considered unable to reproduce naturally under non-native environmental conditions, little attention was initially given to its invasive potential. We studied an area in northern-Italy where, contrary to expectations, introductions that were performed in the early 80s still exert a considerable pressure on aquatic macrophytes. In order to reveal whether the observed population dynamics are the result of natural events or stocking we analysed the density, age- and size-structure of the grass carp population and the migration p…
