Structural equation modelling gave support to the model proposed. It was verified the sequence of relationships between perceptions of coach-created mastery climate, psychological needs, self-determined motivation, commitment, and adherence. The major contribution of the study was to confirm a motivational model of adherence based on social-cog…
Hill Runner's Physiology, Performance and Nutrition: A Descriptive Study.
2021
Objectives: The aim of this descriptive study was to characterise anthropometric variables, aerobic capacity, running performance and energy intake and expenditure of hill runners in free-living conditions, and to investigate the relationship between age, anthropometric variables, aerobic capacity and running performance.Methods: Twenty-eight hill runners participated in this study (17 males and 11 females; aged 18–65 years). Body fat percentage estimate, sum of eight skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, biceps, iliac crest, supraspinale, abdominal, front thigh and medial calf) and maximal oxygen capacity (VO2max) were assessed in a laboratory setting. Participants also completed a timed hill r…
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…
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,…

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…
