PPARa GENE VARIATION AND PHISYCAL PERFORMANCE IN ITALIAN SOCCER PLAYERS

2012

PURPOSE: One of the genes of the health-related fitness phenotype is a PPARα coding for peroxisome proliferator activator receptor alpha, a central regulator of expression of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism. The aim of our research was to study the role of polymorphism of PPARα gene in performance enhancing in Italian soccer players. METHODS: Sixty professional soccer players and thirty sedentary volunteers were enrolled in the study. Samples of venous blood were obtained at rest in the morning by conventional clinical procedures. Serum was collected and lipid profile was measured by using a commercial kit. An aliquote of anticoagulant-treated blood was used to prepare genomic DNA f…

Verso la diserzione della Participatory Culture Partecipazione, informazione e valore nei processi di produzione capitalistica del web

2016

Il presente contributo, a partire da una breve panoramica sulle principali direzioni che orientano i cambiamenti dei grandi player del Web, focalizzerà l’attenzione sul ruolo che assume l’utente partecipativo nei processi di produzione capitalistica delle piattaforme online mettendo in evidenza alcuni aspetti critici delle definizioni di consumo partecipativo così come elaborate nell’ambito della partecipatory culture. Il quadro teorico di riferimento include la teoria di Marx, gli studi sull’informatica e la dimensione postmediatica di Félix Guattari, l’analisi marxista della cibernetica elaborata negli anni sessanta da Romano Alquati, l’ontologia macchina di Deleuze e Guattari e le rifles…

STUDY OF GENDER DIFFERENCES IN FUTSAL

2012

The purpose of this study was to evaluate gender differences in futsal male and female professional players with at least three years of sports practice at the federal level. For this reason we analyzed the anthropometric characteristics and athletic performance by standardized agility and speed tests such as: Agility T-test, 20-m Sprint test and shuttle test. We found significant sex and role-related differences in futsal game in agreement with the scientific literature that show a best performance of male soccer players than female ones in Agility T-test, 20-m Sprint test and shuttle test.

Team Coordination in Basketball: Description of the Cognitive Connections Among Teammates

2010

International audience; This study investigated team coordination in basketball using the course-of-action theoretical framework. The focus was on how the players were connected with their teammates' activities. The activity of five French basketball players (17.60 ± .89 years) was studied during an official match. The data were collected and processed according to a procedure defined for course-of-action analysis. The results were used to characterize the coordination modes among players and the team coordination network that was built. The processes that underlie team coordination are discussed (i.e., mutuality and awareness), and some directions for practical applications are addressed.

Dolor orofacial en músicos instrumentistas de viento

2012

Dentro de la amplia gama de tecnopatías que afectan a los intérpretes musicales (sean profesionales o no), el dolor orofacial es una de las más frecuentes, especialmente en los músicos de viento (viento-madera o viento-metal). Este trabajo pretende realizar una revisión bibliográfica relacionada con dicho tema, centrándose en los instrumentistas de viento. Material y métodos Se realizó la búsqueda en la National Library of Medicine's PubMed database así como en otras bases de datos médicas para identificar aquellos artículos revisados por pares en la literatura relacionados con los problemas orofaciales en músicos de viento, usando tanto palabras clave dentro de los Medical Subject Headings…

INTEGRATIVE APPROACH BETWEEN GENE VARIANTS, NEUROENDOCRINE EFFECTORS AND ANXIETY RESPONSE: A PILOT STUDY

2016

The aim of this study is to investigate the neurobiology of stress/emotionality, creating a multidisciplinary assessment model, which can help to provide psychological and physiological responses depending on the genetic background related to sport performances, social closeness and performance anxiety management in team sports. We enrolled 20 female volleyball players aged 13 ± 1 years old played in two different teams during a regional championship final. Saliva collection was carried out before and after the match. In order to evaluate the neuroendocrine effectors involved in stress and performance, we analyzed cortisol and progesterone levels through Elisa standard kit as well as HSP70 …

Home Oral Care Domiciliary Protocol for the Management of Dental Erosion in Rugby Players: A Randomized Clinical Trial

2022

People performing regular physical activity are at high risk of dental erosion especially in cases of high sport drinks intake. Biomimetic hydroxyapatite-based oral hygiene products, like toothpastes and mouthwashes, have been investigated in recent years for their remineralizing activity on the teeth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of two different oral hygiene protocols, respectively consisting of the combination of a hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste plus mouthwash (Trial group) or toothpaste alone (Control Group). At baseline (T0), as well as at 15 days (T1), 30 days (T2) and 90 days (T3), the following clinical indexes were assessed: Basic Erosive Wear Examinat…

Network Capacity Estimators Predicting QoE in HTTP Adaptive Streaming

2022

The aim of adaptive HTTP streaming technology is preserving the best possible video streaming quality for viewers in heterogeneous network conditions. This can be achieved by making multiple quality versions of the video available. Switching between versions during playback should be imperceptible and fluent. The decision about quality-level switching is typically based on network capacity estimation and buffer occupancy, which predict the risk of stalling. Since quality-level switching and stalling are directly evident to the user, they are often classified as influence factors of quality of experience (QoE). In this paper, we observe different network capacity estimators and buffer behavi…
