IGUALDADE DE GÊNERO E ANÁLISE DA COMUNICAÇÃO MOTORA NAS TAREFAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA
2019
Resumen El presente artículo analiza las tareas motrices propuestas en el ámbito de la Educación Física, tanto por el maestro como en el juego libre, desde una perspectiva de género. A partir de una observación participante se obtienen las tareas propuestas en las sesiones de Educación Física de una escuela en la localidad de Meliana, en la provincia de Valencia (España). Se constatan 134 tareas motrices que se analizan y contextualizan en el marco educativo. Los resultados muestran que se tiende a impulsar un cierto modelo de comportamiento común cuando el docente ejerce mayor directividad. En cambio, cuando el profesor ofrece libertad para escoger, se tienden a reproducir los estereotipos…
Relationship Between Heart Rate Recovery After Exercise and Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Sedentary Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
2014
AIMS: Heart rate recovery after exercise (HRR) is an estimate of autonomic modulation of the heart, and has been shown to be inversely associated with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is associated with decreased maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Aim of our study was to assess the relationship between HRR and VO2max in sedentary patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Maximal exercise testing to determine VO2max (ml ∙ Kg-1 ∙ min-1) was performed in 16 sedentary patients with type 2 diabetes (DP) and in 16 age-matched sedentary healthy controls (HS). HRR (bpm) 2 min after cessation of the exercise was recorded. Simple linear regression was used to assess the relations between HRR and VO2m…
Determinants associated with obesity and physical activity in the public and private schools of the city of palermo
2018
Introduction: Obesity is a medical condition associated with premature death and it is a risk factor for many chronic diseases. In this context, performing a regular physical activity promotes a healthy lifestyle, with significant health benefits. The aim of the study was to investigate behaviors that increase the risk of obesity and the determinants that encourage physical activity among adolescents. Materials and methods: The HBSC (Health Behavior in School-aged Children) questionnaire was administered to students in Palermo's private and public schools. For the sampling of public schools the protocol of the HBSC Surveillance System was followed; for the private ones it was opportunistic.…
Impulsivity and physical activity: A T-Pattern detection of motor behavior profiles.
2020
The relation between impulsivity and physical activity has been scantly investigated. Actually, during physical activity, several goals are achieved on the basis of a certain dose of impulsiveness. This study detects motor and interactive behavior profiles from athletes with traits of impulsiveness, moderate impulsiveness and non-impulsiveness, performing open motor tasks concerning material, space and interaction behaviors. A specific test was administered to assess the impulsivity profiles of athletes; then the Observational System of Motor Skills, Space, Time and Interaction (OSMOSTI), was used to observe and detect movement sequences patterns throughout T-Pattern detection and analysis …

Effect of attitudes toward Physical Education on motives to sport practice outside school hours
2016
[Resumen] La literatura especializada destaca la relación entre la participación de los adolescentes en actividades físicas y diversos beneficios físicos y psicosociales. Sin embargo, la actividad física de los adolescentes está por debajo de lo necesario para disfrutar de una buena salud física y psicológica. Existe consenso en que la Educación Física puede ayudar a los adolescentes a implicarse en actividades físicas y promover estilos de vida saludables. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la relación entre las actitudes hacia la Educación Física y los motivos para la práctica deportiva fuera del horario escolar. Han participado 428 alumnos de Educación Secundaria y 1º…
Relationship between pedometer-determined physical activity and low back pain in middle aged Finnish population (30-45) : "The Young Finns Study"
2016
Undoubtedly, modern sedentary lifestyle is a severe threat factor for various health-related concerns. Engagement in regular physical activity is requisite to achieve physiological and psychological health benefits and to alleviate the risk for many undesirable health outcomes including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Staying physically active is recommended in the deterrence and management of low back pain. Lately, an alternative guideline about physical activity has been introduced, which is more realistic than the 30 minutes/day recommendation. This guideline says that attaining 10,000 steps/day improves health. Therefore, pedometers have bec…
