The inside out forehand as a tactical pattern in men’s professional tennis

2017

AbstractThe so-called inside out forehand has an active role in the baseline strategy because it offers the players new possibilities of hitting the incoming ball with their preferred shot by covering their weaker side and, at the same time, playing the ball with more open angles and directions which create more aggressive patterns of play. The purpose of this study is to analyse the use of this shot as well as its incidence on the men’s professional game both, right- and left-handed players. Eighteen matches corresponding to Grand Slam and ATP finals played between 2011 and 2014 were analysed. Eleven players (men) with ATP rankings between 1 and 14 were studied. Data show that the inside o…

Violences intentionnelles, manifestations somatiques et traumas complexes chez les réfugiés et demandeurs d’asile

2020

Les populations de réfugiés, déplacés, demandeurs d’asile qui ont été soumises à des conflits armés, guerres, violences organisées présentent une grande souffrance psychique qui peut se traduire par de nombreux problèmes de santé mentale (états de stress post-traumatiques, dépressions, deuils compliqués, troubles somatiques, troubles dissociatifs). La place des manifestations somatiques (douleurs chroniques, plaintes et troubles somatiques divers) a été peu traitée pour cette population. L’objectif de cet article est de souligner leur importance et leur lien avec le vécu des traumas extrêmes et intentionnels. Quelques données de la littérature sont présentées pour illustrer les fortes corré…

Emotional Intelligence as a Support for Professional Development in Engineering Education

2019

Abstract Engineering education is an expanding field due to the globalization of the engineering profession. Such globalization is driven by the evolution of both the engineering sciences by themselves as well as the evolution of technology and the professional environment. Approaching emotional intelligence as a support for professional development in engineering education is analyzed as a potentiation of necessary competences and abilities for academic performance in the engineering education environment as well as for reaching a high level of engineering professional performance in a diverse social context. The article includes an analysis of the current state in the field of theory and …

This study analyzed the spatial-temporal interactions that sustained 2-vs-1 contexts in football at different field locations near the goal. Fifteen male players (under 15 years, age 13.2 ± 1.03 years, years of practice 4.2 ± 1.10 years), 5 defenders, 7 midfielders, and 3 attackers, participated in the study. Each participant performed a game to simulate a 2-vs-1 sub-phase as a ball carrier, second attacker, and defender at three different field locations, resulting in a total number of 142 trials. The movements of participants in each trial were recorded and digitized with TACTO software. Values of interpersonal distance between the ball carrier and defender and interpersonal angles betwee…

Modelli di parenting multipli e benessere interpersonale. Una rassegna teorica sull’evoluzione del sistema motivazionale diadico verso il network del…

2016

Models of multiple parenting and interpersonal wellbeing. A theoretical review on the evolution of the dyadic motivational system toward the network of care A theoretical analysis on the evolution of the dyadic parenting model toward the multiple attachment perspective is presented. In particular, looking beyond the monotropic perspective (Bowlby, 1969), a theoretical framework about the integration model as a support of the elasticity of the Internal Working Models is highlighted. Based on these studies, the continuity in the quality of the attachment representations would remain in function also of the changes inside the care environment, in its aspects of risk and protection as well as o…

Challenging serve myths in doubles tennis

2021

Doubles tennis has received little interest from quantitative research to date. Coach-led anecdotes therefore abound. The aims of this study were therefore to evaluate the veracity of the following common anecdotes: (a) serving teams have an advantage regardless of the length of the point; (b) serving teams have a greater advantage with new balls; (c) regular teams perform better when serving than new teams and (d) serving teams decrease their performance during break points. Data from doubles hard-court and clay-court tennis were collated for 52 doubles teams during 2018 ATP tournaments. Results revealed that the advantage of serving teams was evident on the points lasting up to 4 shots. …

From metaphor to action : embodied language cognition

2016

Las teorias que tradicionalmente han tratado de explicar como la actividad cerebral da lugar a la cognicion se han servido de la metafora del ordenador para describir que el modo en  que el cerebro procesa informacion es transformandola en un codigo de simbolos que pueden combinarse entre si siguiendo un conjunto finito de reglas. Sin embargo, recientes estudios, con paradigmas actualizados y ayudandose de las tecnicas de neuroimagen, nos muestran que las actividades cerebrales que registramos cuando observamos un cerebro implicado en alguna tarea cognitiva son las mismas que observariamos si ese cerebro se encontrase inmerso en el procesamiento perceptivo, motor o emocional de la informaci…

Mental Models vs Integrated Models: Explanations of Syllogistic Reasoning

1996

To compare mental versus integrated models explanations of syllogistic reasoning, we administered a multiple-choice questionnaire containing 19 pairs of syllogistic premises with valid conclusions (given in a C-A order) to 72 psychology undergraduates. Association between our integrated models classification and the empirical difficulty of items was strong.

The Relationship between Self-Esteem, Depression and Anxiety: Comparing Vulnerability and Scar Model in the Italian Context

2016

Abstract Background: The relationship between low self-esteem and depression and anxiety disorders has solicited a growing body of empirical research. The most important explanation models are two: the vulnerability model states that low self-esteem is a risk factor for depression and anxiety, and the scar model states that low self-esteem is an outcome, not a cause, of depression and anxiety. Method: In the present research we tested the two different models using a sample of Italian preadolescent, aged 11 to 14 years, recruited from an Italian secondary school. To test the models, the path analysis technique was used: one in which self-esteem predicted anxiety and depression (Model 1), an…
