Comparison of Game-Related Statistics in Men¿s International Championships between Winning and Losing Teams according to Margin of Victory
2014
The aims of this study were (i) to compare water polo game-related statistics by game outcome (winning and losing teams) and margins of victory (close games, unbalanced games, and very unbalanced games), and (ii) to identify characteristics that mark the differences in performances for each group of margin of victory. The game-related statistics of the 308 men¿s matches played in seven International Championships (Olympic Games, World and European Championships) were analysed. A cluster analysis established three groups (close games, unbalanced games, and very unbalanced games) according to the margin of victory. Differences between game outcomes (winning or losing teams) and margins of vic…
Differences in Technical Development and Playing Space in Three UEFA Champions Leagues
2021
[Abstract] The analysis of football grows exponentially, with many researchers adopting it as an object of study. The thematic range that addresses it, as well as the different methodologies used, are of a very different nature—physical, psychological, technical, tactical—enriching every day the knowledge, and understanding of the game itself. The objective of this study has been to identify the differences between the different styles of play that lead to becoming the champion of the UEFA Champions League in the last 3 years of the pre-COVID stage, by analyzing the spatial performance developed, the association between the players that make up the different lines of the game system and the…
Acute effects on acceleration impacts during running with objects in the hand.
2021
Amateur runners usually run carrying implements in their hands (keys, a mobile phone, or a bottle of water). However, there is a lack of literature about the effects of different handloads on impact accelerations. Thus, this study aimed to analyse the effects of carrying different objects in the hand on impact accelerations during running. Nineteen male recreational runners (age 24.3 ± 6.8 years, training volume of 25 ± 7.38 km/week) performed twenty minutes of running on a treadmill at 2.78 m/s with four different conditions: no extra weight, with keys, with a mobile phone, and with a bottle of water. Impact acceleration and spatio-temporal parameters were analysed through a wireless triax…
Relaciones entre la orientación de meta disposicional y la satisfacción con los resultados deportivos, las creencias sobre las causas de éxito en dep…
2021
Este trabajo analizó las propiedades psicométricas de una batería de cuestionarios utilizados previamente en contextos deportivos británicos y norteamericanos para medir: la orientación de metas disposicional, las creencias sobre las causas de éxito en deporte, la satisfacción con los resultados deportivos y la diversión con la práctica deportiva y las relaciones entre la orientación de meta personal y las variables estudiadas. 90 chicos y 40 chicas practicantes de atletismo o tenis participaron en el estudio. Los resultados han mostrado una distribución factorial semejantes a las obtenidas con los instrumentos originales. La consistencia interna de todas las escalas se ha mostrado aceptabl…
Identitats de gènere i esport. Masculinitats inductores i resistències a la masculinitat hegemònica al futbol espanyol.
2010
Com a contribució al recorregut històric de la Psicologia social, s'aborda ara el decurs d'un esport universal i l'atribució a un dels gèneres: el masculí, evidentment. L'autor es pregunta si s'ha produït algun canvi en el ethos de gènere del futbol com a conseqüència de la pròpia evolució de les relacions de gènere en la societat espanyola i en relació amb el que s'ha denominat la crisis de la masculinitat. I mira de contestar a abastament, en el contingut del seu detallat i documentat estudi, que es divideix en cinc parts. En la primera s'ofereix una revisió de la literatura sobre la qüestió i es desenvolupa el marc teòric en el qual es recolza la investigació presentada, en les tres segü…
Validation of Oxygen Consumption Prediction Equations and New Formulas for Interval Training
2021
[EN] Objectives. Our aims were to determine whether there is any significant difference between the measured and estimated energy expenditure for the most commonly used prediction equations in the literature, and to develop a new specific prediction equation for aerobic interval training with a broader cross-section of the population in terms of age, fitness and body mass index (BMI). Methods. Twenty healthy participants were recruited for this study. Two groups of ten people were established depending on their BMI. The low BMI group ranged between 19 and 22, and the high BMI group between 26 and 29. The test protocol consisted of 12 individualized intensities, 6 walking and 6 running speed…
Physical activity using social media during the COVID-19 pandemic: the perceptions of sports science students
2021
Abstract During the period of the COVID-19 lockdown, sports organizations and companies had to look for new ways to connect with their customers by offering physical activity (PA) alternatives to do at home. This study explores the perceptions of 175 undergraduate sports science students regarding their social media (SM) and PA patterns during the first Spanish COVID-19 lockdown period (March to May 2020). From their homes, the students completed an ad hoc online questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software to perform descriptive and inferential analysis (t-test). The results show that the participants used SM during the COVID-19 lockdown to visualize or practice PA, percei…
¿Qué permanece oculto del currículum oculto? Las identidades de género y sexualidad en la Educación Física.
2005
El currículum oculto es un medio muy poderoso para aprender normas, valores y relaciones sociales que subyacen y se transmiten a través de las rutinas diarias en las escuelas y en los centros de formación del profesorado. Los estudiantes no sólo aprenden conductas y conocimientos, sino todo un conjunto de actitudes y de prácticas sociales que les sirven para la construcción de sus identidades. Los estudios sobre la educación física, fundamentalmente los del contexto cultural anglosajón, se han ocupado en resaltar la dimensión oculta o encubierta del currículum en relación con la construcción de diversas identidades, entre ellas las de género y las de sexualidad. Sin embargo, en el contexto …
Comparison of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour between Schoolchildren with Cystic Fibrosis and Healthy Controls: A Gender Analysis
2021
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in sports participation and the levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) between schoolchildren with cystic fibrosis (CF) and a healthy control group (CG) taking into account the gender variable. PA and SB were measured with an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days in 44 children (24 girls
The implication of subcortical motor centers in voluntary human activities
2009
The main objective of the present dissertation was to analyse the subcortical implications in the preparation and execution of complex voluntary movements. Three different tasks were selected on purpose. They all are everyday activities which although functionally related have differential characteristics. The first task was the sit-to-stand manoeuvre. Simple ballistic movements are executed faster in reaction time task paradigms when the imperative signal is accompanied by a startling auditory stimulus (SAS). We examined whether this effect also occurs in complex movements such as the sit-to-stand manoeuvre, taking into account both anticipatory postural adjustments and prime movers. React…
