Utilidad de un nuevo sistema de cronometraje para proporcionar feedback inmediato a los nadadores
2007
El presente documento tiene dos objetivos, en primer lugar, describir un nuevo sistema de cronometraje que proporciona feedback en tiempo real y sin interferir en la ejecución del nadador y, en segundo lugar, comprobar su utilidad. El sistema consiste en una pantalla de leds, resistente al agua e instalada en el fondo de la piscina, conectada a una Unidad Central mediante una plataforma de contacto colocada en la pared donde se realiza el viraje. La pantalla de leds informa al nadador de los tiempos y número de vueltas e, incluso, puede presentar texto (consignas) escrito por el entrenador. Este sistema se puede conectar a un PC o una PDA, permitiendo registrar los tiempos para su posterior…
Impact Acceleration During Prolonged Running While Wearing Conventional Versus Minimalist Shoes.
2020
Purpose: In recent years a sub-group of minimalist runners have emerged who aim to perform physical exercise more naturally in an attempt to reduce running-related injuries. Here we aimed to determine the effect that running with minimalist footwear in a prolonged run has on footimpact accelerations. Method: Seventeen runners ran with minimalist and conventional shoes (MS and CS, respectively) in two separate sessions; the participants had experience with both footwear types. We measured the length and frequency of each stride, as well as the tibial and head impact acceleration every 5 minutes during a prolonged run (30 minutes at 80% of each individual's maximum aerobic speed). Results: Th…
Bionate biocompatibility: in vivo study in rabbits
2022
Response to foreign materials includes local tissue reaction, osteolysis, implant loosening, and migration to lymph nodes and organs. Bionate 80A human explants show minor wear and slight local tissue reaction, but we do not know the response at the spinal cord, nerve roots, lymph nodes, or distant organs. This study aims to figure out reactions against Bionate 80A when implanted at the spinal epidural space of 24 20-week-old New Zealand white rabbits. In one group of 12 rabbits, we implanted Bionate 80A on the spinal epidural space, and another group of 12 rabbits was used as the control group. We studied tissues, organs, and tissue damage markers on blood biochemistry, urine tests, and ne…
Evaluación de parámetros biomecánicos del lanzamiento de jabalina en lanzadores de diferente nivel de rendimiento
2000
Mediante análisis cinemático y utilizando como muestra a lanzadores agrupados en función de
 la marca conseguida (grupo internacional: atletas con marca superior a los 80 metros; y grupo
 nacional: atletas con marca inferior a 80 metros) el objetivo del estudio se centró en determinar si
 alguno de los parámetros utilizados para evaluar la eficacia del gesto establece diferencias entre
 uno y otro grupo de lanzadores.
 Los resultados muestran que algunos de dichos parámetros cinemáticos ayudan a establecer los
 márgenes para la pertenencia a los. Del total de las 41 variables contrastadas, sólo 8 de ellas
 establecían diferencias significativas entre grupo…
Effect of the upper material of running shoes on muscle mechanical power transfer on lower limbs
2022
This study focuses on determining the effects of the upper material of running shoes on the mechanical power flows of the muscles of the lower limbs during the support phase of running. Two models of running shoes—differentiated only by the upper structure and material—have been used, being randomly assigned to 19 participants. Five measurements of each participant per shoe model were obtained at 3.3 m·s−1 to perform inverse dynamic analysis with the data obtained. Statistically significant differences have been found between the two models for the muscle power flow variables in the ankle, knee and hip joints, as well as at the ends of adjacent segments. The KNIT-upper model (model 2) pres…
Efectos de los soportes plantares sobre la termorregulación de las plantas de los pies durante la carrera
2015
Accésit Congreso SIBB 2015 Existe una gran controversia acerca de si el uso de soportes plantares puede reducir el riesgo de padecer lesiones por sobreuso en corredores. Se ha observado una relación entre las cargas plantares y la temperatura superficial de los pies, por lo que el tipo de soporte plantar podría afectar a la temperatura de la planta del pie. El objetivo del estudio fue, analizar los efectos de los soportes plantares en la temperatura superficial, así como en la simetría térmica, de las plantas de los pies tras la carrera. 12 corredores entrenados realizaron 3 test de 30 minutos de carrera (10 de calentamiento y 20 de prueba al 80% de su Velocidad Aeróbica Máxima) con soporte…
Comparison of lower limb segments kinematics in taekwondo kick. an approach to the proximal to distal motion
2015
Abstract In taekwondo, there is a lack of consensus about how the kick sequence occurs. The aim of this study was to analyse the peak velocity (resultant and value in each plane) of lower limb segments (thigh, shank and foot), and the time to reach this peak velocity in the kicking lower limb during the execution of the roundhouse kick technique. Ten experienced taekwondo athletes (five males and five females; mean age of 25.3 ±5.1 years; mean experience of 12.9 ±5.3 years) participated voluntarily in this study performing consecutive kicking trials to a target located at their sternum height. Measurements for the kinematic analysis were performed using two 3D force plates and an eight came…
Test-Retest Reliability of Task Performance for Golf Swings of Medium- to High-Handicap Players
2022
Background: Golf swing performance in medium- to high-handicap players must be reliably measured to use this variable in both research studies and in applied settings. Nevertheless, there are no studies published on this topic and test–retest evidence is only available for low-handicap players. The aim of this study was to determine the number of attempts necessary to obtain a reliable measurement protocol for swing performance variables in medium- to high-handicap players. Methods: Ten amateur players (55.67 (13.64) years, 78.4 (11.4) kg, 1.75 (7.95) m) took part in a test–retest study in two experimental sessions one week apart. In each one, fifteen swings with a six iron and a driver wer…
Trunk and lower limb muscle activation in linear, circular and spin back kicks
2015
Background and Study Aim: As any martial art, taekwondo can be classified as a specialty that requires high technical skills, such as a fine motor control both in static and dynamic conditions. Practitioners predominantly use kicks with high amplitude in both combat and technique (poomse) modalities. The aim of this study was the knowledge about trunk and lower limb muscle activation according to the type of kick (circular, linear and spin back kick) in the taekwondo technique modality. Material and Methods: Twelve healthy and elite male taekwondo athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Surface electromyography (EMG) during maximal isometric voluntary contractions (MVC) and executi…
