Estudio bibliométrico sobre la producción científica en educación vial

2012

El objeto fundamental de esta tesis es el de analizar la producción científica de la educación vial a nivel internacional, desde la perspectiva de la denominada bibliometría, en las bases de datos PyscInfo, Medline y Eric. En esta línea de investigación, que se caracteriza por el hecho de aplicar el método científico, se ha llevado a cabo el análisis estadístico de las bases de datos entre los años 1960 y 2008, analizándose la productividad de los autores científicos, la dispersión de las publicaciones científicas y las palabras clave utilizadas, entre otros indicadores. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la educación vial es un área multidisiciplinar en pleno desarrollo y progresión, c…

Predictive Strength of Physical Education-Centered Physical Literacy Indicators on Physical Activity

2021

This study examined the predictive strength of selected physical education (PE)-centered physical literacy indicators on elementary school students’ accelerometer-measured moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (PA). The study was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 450 Finnish children (M = 11.26 [0.32]; nfemales = 194; nmales = 256). Data on a set of predictor variables (motor competence, in-class PE moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA [MVPA], health-related fitness, and PE motivation and enjoyment) and total MVPA as a single outcome variable were collected. The entire model explained almost 30% of MVPA (R2adj = .298). Cardiorespiratory endurance (β = 0.42, 95% confidence in…

Development of accelerometer-based light to vigorous physical activity in fitness profiles of school-aged children.

2021

This study examined the developmental trajectories of light (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in fitness profiles derived from motor competence, perceived motor competence, health-related fitness, and MVPA behaviour. Locomotor, stability, and object-control skills, muscular and cardiovascular fitness, and physical activity were assessed in 510 (girls 285, boys 225) Finnish school-aged children (Mage = 11.26 ± .33 years) over three years. Physical activity was measured using hip-mounted accelerometers. Fitness profiles were identified using latent profile analysis and the development of physical activity levels across four assessments was analysed with latent growth cur…

Localization of parvalbumin, calretinin, and calbindin D-28k in identified extraocular motoneurons and internuclear neurons of the cat

1998

Calcium-binding proteins have been shown to be excellent markers of specific neuronal populations. We aimed to characterize the expression of calcium-binding proteins in identified populations of the cat extraocular motor nuclei by means of immunohistochemistry against parvalbumin, calretinin, and calbindin D-28k. Abducens, medial rectus, and trochlear motoneurons were retrogradely labeled with horseradish peroxidase from their corresponding muscles. Oculomotor and abducens internuclear neurons were retrogradely labeled after horseradish peroxidase injection into either the abducens or the oculomotor nucleus, respectively. Parvalbumin staining produced the highest density of immunoreactive …

Motor development and Down syndrome

2019

Abstract The chapter aims to analyze motor development in Down syndrome (DS) population. In the light of a holistic perspective to typical and atypical development, there is a renewed scientific interest on the role of motor skills to promote general health. A multidisciplinary approach, that involves findings from psychology, neuroscience, kinesiology and education is employed. Motor proficiency is a set of functions necessary for everyday life which allow moving around in the environment and manipulating tools; it's typically articulated into posture, gross motor and fine motor skills. Ample research highlighted a strong correlation among Intellectual Quotient and motor skills demonstrati…

2021

The study aims were to 1) examine profiles of perception of motor competence (PMC) in relation to actual motor competence (AMC), i.e. under-estimators (UEs), realistic estimators (REs) and over-estimators (OEs) and 2) investigate associations between the profiles and selected socioecological factors at the individual, family and environmental levels. PMC (Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence) and AMC (Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition) were administered to a representative sample of children from 37 childcare centres in Finland (n=441;6.2±0.6yrs;52% boys). Socioecological factors were investigated using a parental questionnaire. The three profiles were formed b…

Quality of Life, Cognition, and Social Cognition in Schizophrenia

2016

Nowadays, the main objective in treating patients with schizophrenia (SZ) is not only to attain and maintain symptomatic remission, in order to reach recovery, but also to avoid relapses and reach a level of personal and social functioning, as well as of quality of life (QoL), as near as possible to that of the general population (Hasan et al. 2013). In that sense, psychosocial functioning and QoL are increasingly recognized as important treatment outcomes in SZ (Juckel and Morosini 2008; Remington et al. 2010; Figueira and Brissos 2011).

Ensimmäisen luokan oppilaiden motoriset taidot ja reisilihasten aktiivisuus eri alustoilla käveltäessä

2016

TIIVISTELMÄ Heikkinen, A-E. 2016. Ensimmäisen luokan oppilaiden motoriset taidot ja reisilihasten aktiivisuus eri alustoilla käveltäessä. Liikuntakasvatuksen ja Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikuntapedagogiikan sekä valmennus- ja testausopin kaksoisgradututkielma, 121s., 4 liitettä. Kävelyn oppiminen on tärkeä osa lapsen motorista kehitystä. Kävelytaito mahdollistaa lapsen osallistumisen monipuoliseen liikuntaan. Ympäristöllä, jossa lapsi liikkuu, on vaikutusta lapsen motorisen kehityksen etenemiseen. Motoristen taitojen ja fyysisen aktiivisuuden välillä on havaittu selvä, iän myötä vahvistuva yhteys. Kehittyvällä lapsella uusien motoristen taitojen opetteluvaiheessa liha…

Papel de la inflamación periférica y la neuroinflamación en el deterioro cognitivo y motor en ratas con diferentes grados de daño hepático. Efectos d…

2020

La encefalopatía hepática (EH) es un síndrome neuropsiquiátrico complejo consecuencia de un fallo hepático. Alrededor del 40% de los pacientes cirróticos sin síntomas clínicos evidentes de EH presenta encefalopatía hepática mínima (EHM), con déficits cognitivos y enlentecimiento psicomotor. La hiperamonemia y la inflamación periférica actúan sinérgicamente induciendo neuroinflamación, que altera la neurotransmisión conduciendo al deterioro de la función cognitiva y motora. Los pacientes con esteatohepatitis pueden presentar deterioro cognitivo leve si los niveles de hiperamonemia e inflamación son lo suficientemente elevados. Además, en cerebelo de estos pacientes se ha encontrado infiltrac…
