Hyvä valmentaja 10-15-vuotiaiden telinevoimistelussa kilpailevien tyttöjen silmin
2014
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa hyvän valmentajan ominaisuuksia ja suomalaisten telinevoimistelijatyttöjen tyytyväisyyttä valmentajiinsa. Lisäksi halusin selvittää, täyttivätkö voimistelijatyttöjen omat valmentajat heidän odotuksensa hyvästä, niin sanotusta unelmavalmentajasta. Tutkielman aineistonkeruu suoritettiin helmi-maaliskuussa 2013 sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella, johon saivat vastata aktiivisesti telinevoimistelua harrastavat, 10–15 -vuotiaat tytöt. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 38 tyttöä 14 eri seurasta. He olivat aktiivisesti kilpailleet viimeisen kahden vuoden aikana eli osallistuneet vähintään yksiin virallisiin, kansallisen tason naistelinevoimistelukilpailuihin…
Performance characteristics of Parkour practitioners: Who are the traceurs?
2015
International audience; Parkour is a modern physical activity that consists of using the environment, mostly urban, as a playground of obstacles. The aims of this study were (i) to investigate age, anthropometric and training characteristics of Parkour practitioners, called ‘traceurs’ and (ii) to assess jump performances and muscular characteristics of traceurs, compared to those of gymnasts and power athletes. The mean age of the population of traceurs studied (n = 130) was 19.4 ± 4.3 years, women represented 12.4% of the total field and mean training volume was 8.1 ± 0.5 hours/week. Vertical and long jump performances were analysed on smaller samples of participants (four groups, n = 15 p…

La cura del corpo nella storia
2022
In this chapter, the authors present a historical reconstruction of body care as physical education, starting from oral civilizations and going through the classical, medieval and modern ages. Until 1800, the body was the object of attention of various religious and worldly views, while from the twentieth century onwards, body education as physical education was valued, becoming a subject of primary importance in the education of the person.
From conscript gymnastics to sportive gymnastics. 1919-1939: The case of the Federation of Alsatian Gymnastics Associations
2000
Between the two World Wars, gymnastics become a sport just as any other sport. An analysis of the history of the Federation of Alsatian Gymnastics Associations allows us to understand this mutation which is even more remarkable since the opposition between gymnastics and sports was initially very stiff. This mutation corresponds to a series of transformations affecting the gymnastics associations both in their functioning modalities and their social structure: the gymnast, traditionally excluded of decision making circles, becomes a full-fledged member; increasingly fewer " passive members " are inclined to support the mass education carried out by gymnastics associations; instructors are r…
Relación entre la actividad física, los hábitos alimentarios y el consumo y actitud hacia las drogas en un instituto valenciano
2013
El presente estudio tiene como objetivo conocer el interés por la actividad física y la práctica deportiva de 224 (111 chicos y 113 chicas) alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato en un instituto de la ciudad de Valencia, así como relacionar dichos hábitos con la alimentación y el consumo de drogas. Para realizar el estudio se utilizó un cuestionario de elaboración propia, formado por veintitrés ítems de los cuales se extrajeron los resultados. Los resultados mostraron que los adolescentes estudiados tienen, en general, buenos hábitos deportivos aunque obtienen peores valores en los hábitos de consumo de sustancias o tiempo dedicado a las nuevas tecnologías. En lo que se …
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOMEN´S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TECHNICAL SKILL, PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS AND SUCCESS IN COMPETITIONS IN FINLAND
2019
The aim of this study was to find out the potential of the Minoritest to identify the most likely talented gymnasts to join the national team pre-training group in Finland. The study examined the relationships between gymnasts´ (N=215, age 10–13) Minoritest results (2006–2010) and success in competitions after the Minoritests until the end of 2016. The competition results were also compared between the gymnasts who had participated in the test and a random number (N=180) of gymnasts who had not. According to this study, the majority (92%) of the best gymnasts in competitions had participated in the Minoritest. 39% of the best in competitions were among the top 10 in the Minoritest. The test…
EFFECT OF KETOGENIC DIET ON EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH PERFORMANCE IN ELITE ARTISTIC GYMNASTS
2011
Introduction Despite the increasing use of low carbohydrates/ketogenic diets (KD) on weight control and management of metabolic syndrome (Westman et al., 2007) there are paucity of researches about effects of KD diets on sport performances (Phinney et al., 1983a, 1983b). KD diets maybe useful in sports with weight class divisions. The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of KD on explosive strength performance, specifically in elite artistic gymnasts. Methods 8 male subjects (age 20.9 +/- 5.5 yrs) were recruited. Several physical and performance tests (body composition analysis, hanging straight leg raise, ground push up, parallel bars push up, pull up, squat jump, countermovem…

Do Age and Sex Play a Role in the Intraocular Pressure Changes after Acrobatic Gymnastics?
2021
To evaluate the effects of an acrobatic gymnastics (AG) training session on intraocular pressure (IOP), a familiarization session was employed to confirm the participant’s suitability for the study. Forty-nine gymnasts (63.27% females, 18–40 years old) voluntarily agreed to participate. As age, sex, baseline IOP, and central corneal thickness (CCT) were considered as potential predictors of the IOP variations, in the second session measurements of the above parameters were taken before and after 90 min of AG. A mixed-factorial analysis of variance evaluated differences. Linear regression was conducted to potentially predict the IOP variation with the exercise. After the scheduled exercise, …
