Fighting and non-fighting time-motion in taekwondo cadet athletes
2016
[Resumen] La relación entre los tiempos de lucha (L) y no lucha (NL) ha sido utilizada para caracterizar las demandas físicas del taekwondo. El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar el tiempo de L y NL en función de la categoría de competición en taekwondistas cadetes (12-14 años). Se analizaron las fases del tiempo de movimiento (L y NL) de 47 combates del primer Campeonato del Mundo Cadete en función de la categoría de competición (minimosca, mosca, gallo, pluma, ligero, superligero, semimedio, medio, semipesado y pesado). Se utilizó el test Kruskal-Wallis seguido de las pruebas por pares de U de Mann Whitney para analizar las diferencias entre grupos (p < 0,05). Se encontraron difere…
Comparison of lower limb segments kinematics in taekwondo kick. an approach to the proximal to distal motion
2015
Abstract In taekwondo, there is a lack of consensus about how the kick sequence occurs. The aim of this study was to analyse the peak velocity (resultant and value in each plane) of lower limb segments (thigh, shank and foot), and the time to reach this peak velocity in the kicking lower limb during the execution of the roundhouse kick technique. Ten experienced taekwondo athletes (five males and five females; mean age of 25.3 ±5.1 years; mean experience of 12.9 ±5.3 years) participated voluntarily in this study performing consecutive kicking trials to a target located at their sternum height. Measurements for the kinematic analysis were performed using two 3D force plates and an eight came…

Tipos de organizaciones deportivas en España
2018
El deporte ha sido considerado un fenómeno de masas con un trascendental poder de seguimiento y congregación, aportando un importante valor económico y social. Hoy en día, en España nos encontramos en un entorno cambiante, en el que las demandas y necesidades de la población son cada vez más diversas, teniendo como consecuencia una obligatoria adaptación y versatilidad por parte de las organizaciones. Dichos cambios estructurales, funcionales y organizativos requieren de una sostenibilidad, tanto de las instalaciones deportivas como de los servicios ofertados. Este hecho cada vez se hace más complicado, por lo que el concepto tradicional de organización deportiva ha ido cambiando. En este e…
“Overwatch is anime” : Exploring an alternative interpretational framework for competitive gaming
2020
Esports has often been likened and compared to traditional sports. This paper suggests an alternative interpretative framework for competitive gaming by focusing on the team-based first-person shooter game Overwatch. We explore Overwatch esports using multi-sited ethnography and demonstrate how the fans and viewers use a rich spectrum of cultural products to enrich and explain their relationship with esports. In the case of Overwatch, anime is particularly prominent, used not only to enrich and explain, but also to challenge ‘sports normativity’, which is visible in the media discussions on Overwatch as well as in the production choices of the esports tournament organizer. This also has con…
Test-Retest Reliability of Task Performance for Golf Swings of Medium- to High-Handicap Players
2022
Background: Golf swing performance in medium- to high-handicap players must be reliably measured to use this variable in both research studies and in applied settings. Nevertheless, there are no studies published on this topic and test–retest evidence is only available for low-handicap players. The aim of this study was to determine the number of attempts necessary to obtain a reliable measurement protocol for swing performance variables in medium- to high-handicap players. Methods: Ten amateur players (55.67 (13.64) years, 78.4 (11.4) kg, 1.75 (7.95) m) took part in a test–retest study in two experimental sessions one week apart. In each one, fifteen swings with a six iron and a driver wer…
Trunk and lower limb muscle activation in linear, circular and spin back kicks
2015
Background and Study Aim: As any martial art, taekwondo can be classified as a specialty that requires high technical skills, such as a fine motor control both in static and dynamic conditions. Practitioners predominantly use kicks with high amplitude in both combat and technique (poomse) modalities. The aim of this study was the knowledge about trunk and lower limb muscle activation according to the type of kick (circular, linear and spin back kick) in the taekwondo technique modality. Material and Methods: Twelve healthy and elite male taekwondo athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Surface electromyography (EMG) during maximal isometric voluntary contractions (MVC) and executi…
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 …
Development and Preliminary Validation of Social Media as an Educational and Professional Tool Student Perceptions Scale (SMEPT-SPS)
2021
Although social media has an increasing presence both in university and sports settings, in the sports-management education context, no instruments (without being focused on one particular social-media platform, e.g., Facebook and Twitter) have been developed and validated that globally allow the academy to explore the perceptions of sports-management students concerning the educational and professional learning potential that these tools offer. Therefore, this research’s main objective is to develop and perform a preliminary validation of the social media as an educational and professional tool student perceptions scale (SMEPT-SPS). This study sample was composed of 90 Spanish undergraduat…
