Verso un curricolo 0-6: continuità, discontinuità e prospettive possibili a partire da un percorso di ricerca-azione nella città di Palermo

2021

A partire da una ricerca sulla costruzione di un possibile curricolo zero-sei, condotta con un gruppo di insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia statale ed un gruppo di educatrici di un nido comunale operanti nello stesso territorio (un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo), l’articolo mira a mettere in luce e a problematizzare ambiti di continuità e di discontinuità tra i due servizi educativi collegandoli alla storia e alla cultura organizzativa dei servizi stessi. Intende, inoltre, riflettere su possibili proposte di cambiamento organizzativo nella direzione della continuità, attraverso l’adozione di una metodologia partecipativa centrata sulla autovalutazione riflessiva, sulla progettazio…

Effects of added endurance or strength training on cardiovascular and neuromuscular performance of conscripts during the 8-week basic training period

2010

 The present series of studies investigated changes in Finnish conscripts’ body composition, aerobic fitness and muscle endurance profiles during the last three decades. A second aim was to examine the effects of added endurance (ET) or strength training (ST) on cardiovascular and neuromuscular performance as well as hormonal responses of conscripts during an 8-week basic training (BT) period when compared to the current standardized (NT) programme. The third aim was to study the effects of these three different training programmes on a novel 3K combat running performance test. The present results showed that aerobic fitness and muscle endurance of 20 year old men in Finland has decreased a…

Neuromagnetic studies of attention in children and youth: Role of exercise and impact on cognitive competence

2023

Tarkkaavuus on monella tavoin yhteydessä elimistömme sisäisiin ja ulkoisiin tekijöihin aivojen kehityksen aikana, jolloin aivot muovautuvat voimakkaasti. Tässä väitöskirjassa tutkitaan tarkkaavuutta kahdesta eri näkökulmasta: millä tavoin oma toimintamme vaikuttaa tarkkaavuuteen ja toisaalta miten tarkkaavuus moduloi muita kognitiivisia toimintoja. Tarkemmin sanottuna väitöskirjassa tutkitaan fyysisen aktiivisuuden ja aerobisen kunnon yhteyksiä ennakoivan tarkkaavuuden ja modaliteettien välisen tarkkaavuuden suuntaamisen aivoperustaan 13-17-vuotiailla nuorilla. Lisäksi väitöskirjassa tutkitaan millä tavoin tarkkaavuus vaikuttaa puheäänteiden ja ei-kielellisten äänteiden käsittelyyn aivoissa…

Frailty Status Improvement after 5-Month Multicomponent Program PROMUFRA in Community-Dwelling Older People: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2022

A study was made of the effect of the PROMUFRA multicomponent frailty program upon physical frailty, kinanthropometry, pain and muscle function parameters in frail and pre-frail community-dwelling older people. Eighty-one participants were randomly allocated to the intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). The IG performed PROMUFRA for 20 weeks, using six strength exercises with three series of 8–12 repetitions until muscular failure, and seven myofascial exercises, with one set of 10 repetitions. The CG continued their routine. The frailty criteria number (FCN), kinanthropometric parameters and muscle function were measured at baseline and after the program. Between-group differences …

Effects of training on postural control and agility when wearing socks of different compression levels

2017

Study aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of training while wearing socks differing in compression level (clinical, sub-clinical, regular) on performance of static and dynamic balancing and agility tasks in healthy, physically active people. We sought to understand whether socks with different compression properties supported postural regulation and agility task performance by enhancing somatosensory perception, unskewed by specific age range effects. Material and methods: Participants comprised 61 adults aged 18–75 years, divided into three groups (two experimental groups wearing clinical or sub-clinical level compression socks, and one control group wearing regular non-…

Stress Assessment of Vestibular Endurance Training for Civil Aviation Flight Students Based on EEG

2021

AbstractObjectiveThe main goal of our study is to clarify the EEG characteristics of the stress response caused by vestibular endurance training under the real conditions.MethodsTen pilot trainees received a series of acute anti-vertigo training stimulations on the rotary ladder while recording electroencephalographic data (64 electrodes). Afterwards, the subject’s anti-vertigo ability was tested for the best performance after 1 month of training, and verifying whether it is relating to the EEG signals we collected before.Results(1) The absolute power ofαwaves in the C3 and C4 regions is same as the difference between 1 min before and 2 min after stimulation, and their activity is enhanced …

Does vocationally oriented foreign language teaching meet the needs of Finnish and German vocational school students?

2019

This article is based on upper secondary vocational school students’ interviews made in Finland and in Germany in 2016 and in 2017. The study results suggest that in both countries, English language skills are seen as the most important foreign language skills and the students would like to have more vocationally oriented English language classes with focus on authentic spoken language communication. The differences in the educational systems of the two countries might result in differences in students‘ perceptions of whether and to what extent they will actually need foreign languages in their future working life. nonPeerReviewed
