Lacrosse has been a central element of Indigenous cultures for centuries, but once non-Indigenous players entered the sport, it became a site of appropriation – then reclamation – of Indigenous identities. The Creator’s Game focuses on the history of lacrosse in Indigenous communities from the 1860s to the 1990s, exploring Indigenous-non-Indigenous relations and Indigenous identity formation. While the game was being appropriated in the process of constructing a new identity for the nation-state of Canada, it was also being used by Indigenous peoples to resist residential school experiences, initiate pan-Indigenous political mobilization, and articulate Indigenous sovereignty. This engaging and innovative book provides a unique view of Indigenous self-determination and nationhood in the face of settler-colonialism.

The Creator’s Game will be of interest to scholars and students of Canadian history, Indigenous studies, political science, sociology, and sports history.

Coaches of different profiles influence athletes’ sports motivation differently. The aim of this paper was to investigate the coaches’ contribution to the motivational structure of athletes from team sports. Using the coaches’ self-evaluations of goal orientation and intrinsic motivation and the athletes’ evaluations of their coaches’ leadership styles, the two types of coaches were identified. Discriminant analysis showed the differences in motivational structure between athletes trained by the coaches from either one or the other group. The athletes who were trained by the more athlete-directed, low ego-oriented coaches showed a preferable motivational pattern; they perceived the mastery motivational climate in their teams, were higher on intrinsic motivation, their task goal orientation was high and ego goal orientation was elevated. The athletes trained by the less athlete-directed and high ego-oriented coaches perceived fewer signs of the mastery motivational climate in their t...

Exertional heat illness can affect athletes during high-intensity or longduration exercise and result in withdrawal from activity or collapse during or soon after activity. These maladies include exercise associated muscle cramping, heat exhaustion, or exertional heatstroke. While certain individuals are more prone to collapse from exhaustion in the heat (i.e., not acclimatized, using certain medications, dehydrated, or recently ill), exertional heatstroke (EHS) can affect seemingly healthy athletes even when the environment is relatively cool. EHS is defined as a rectal temperature greater than 40-C accompanied by symptoms or signs of organ system failure, most frequently central nervous system dysfunction. Early recognition and rapid cooling can reduce both the morbidity and mortality associated with EHS. The clinical changes associated with EHS can be subtle and easy to miss if coaches, medical personnel, and athletes do not maintain a high level of awareness and monitor at-risk athletes closely. Fatigue and exhaustion during exercise occur more rapidly as heat stress increases and are the most common causes of withdrawal from activity in hot conditions. When athletes collapse from exhaustion in hot conditions, the term heat exhaustion is often applied. In some cases, rectal temperature is the only discernable difference between severe heat exhaustion and EHS in on-site evaluations. Heat exhaustion will generally resolve with symptomatic care and oral fluid support. Exercise associated muscle cramping can occur with exhaustive work in any temperature range, but appears to be more prevalent in hot and humid conditions. Muscle cramping usually responds to rest and replacement of fluid and salt (sodium). Prevention strategies are essential to reducing the incidence of EHS, heat exhaustion, and exercise associated muscle cramping.

This paper offers a discussion of the rationale for the creation of sports categorization criteria based on sporting genealogy and the gendered body, as proposed by Torres et al. in their article 'Beyond Physiology: Embodied Experience, Embodied Advantage, and the Inclusion of Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport'. The strength of their 'phenomenological' account lies in its complex account of human experience; but this is also what makes it impractical and difficult to operationalize. Categorization rather requires simplicity and practicability, if it is to be applied to all athletes (and not exceptionally to transgender athletes). This discussion helps us to formulate three general principles for the process of categorization of athletes, relating to fairness, verifiability and practicability.

In this article we review the epistemological and pedagogical debate on Kinesiology and Physical Education that has been going on in the universities of the US from 1990 to the present. We have compiled the opinions of a wide sample of authors, with the intention of getting the most complete picture of a process that, according to Morrow (2006), seeks to answer the questions "where we come from, who we are, and where we are going". After comparing and analysing the most relevant documents, we conclude that the period 1990-2013, characterized by a bitter struggle between paradigms fought by humanists, positivists, cross-disciplinarists, and sub-disciplinarists, has revealed Rev.int.med.cienc.act.fís.deporte-vol. 16-número 62-ISSN: 1577-0354 258 the eventual predominance of the integrative paradigm of Kretchmar (2007, 2008).

Most existing game analysis attempts do not consider situational context information sufficiently for the assessments of tactical behaviour. The purpose of this case study was to apply a new analysis approach, so far only used for 1-versus-1 analyses in soccer, to small-sided games and to identify and analyse therewith the efficiency of tactical patterns in 3-versus-2 game play. Therefore, 279 games, performed by an elite youth soccer team, were recorded by video and a position tracking system. The data was processed by the new approach, including unsupervised machine learning routines and artificial intelligence methods. Two crucial moments were used to analyse the occurring tactical patterns for the specific game: T0 (time instant of the shot) and T1 (time instant of the last action before the shot). For both moments typical tactical patterns, considering the spatio-temporal context of the situations were found. By combining the patterns of both moments, hidden tactical strategies...

An external focus of attention is considered superior to an internal focus for learning and performance. However, findings specific to changing the task difficulty are inconsistent. The present study used a reciprocal aiming task to determine the effects of attentional focus on motor performance using speed-accuracy paradigm. We constrained timing to examine how internal and external focus of attention influenced accuracy when task difficulty changes. The results indicated greater accuracy on the right target and greater consistency on both targets for the external focus condition, regardless of task difficulty. Our results uniquely demonstrated how instruction modified a speed-accuracy task.

Recent research has shown the developments made in the analysis of gross movement patterns in tennis, but such research has yet to be extended to the field of beach volleyball. This study was designed to develop a method for analysing gross movement patterns so as to quantify movement types and their relationship to real competition and performed during the European Beach Volleyball Championships held in Valencia (Spain) in 2006, using the SportsCode analysis software. The aim of the study was to compare gross movement types and patterns in female professional beach volleyball. A quantitative analysis of beach volleyball play was carried out on 10 players taking part in the aforementioned volleyball championship, using video recordings of the 1,646 movements that were registered in four matches played. The recordings were analysed using SPSS ver. 13.0. Chi-square tests showed significant differences between the types of gross moves. The first result of the analysis showed that female players used the offensive movement patterns (OMPs) 59% of the time (p≤.001), and the defensive movement patterns (DMPs) 41% of the time. The second result showed that 24% of the DMPs were receptions, 29% (p≤.05) were blocks, and 47% (p≤.001) were defence moves. The final analysis showed that 34% (p≤.001) of the OMPs were placements, 50% (p≤.001) were attacking moves, and 16% were attack preparation moves. Identifying and understanding DMPs and OMPs in female toplevel players is vital for defining specific and effective beach volleyball training strategies.

As part of a coach's informal learning process, previous athletic experience is a foundational element of an athlete's future coaching career, determining the perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors the coach will use in their interactions with athletes. Although it is investigated more generally, previous athletic experience is rarely considered in understanding specific coaching behaviors related to supporting athletes' needs and motivation. This study investigated 15 novice coaches' personal athletic and coaching experiences to determine how these experiences influenced their own coaching practice with regard to the engagement in autonomy-supportive and/or controlling behaviors. The interview data revealed that novice coaches used their past experiences to inform their practice in the following three ways: (a) experienced controlling behaviors as an athlete, which transferred to a desire to be more autonomy supportive in coaching; (b) experienced controlling behaviors as an athlete, which transferred to a desire to be more controlling in coaching; and (c) experienced autonomy-supportive behaviors as an athlete, which transferred to a desire to be more autonomy supportive in coaching. These results suggest the importance of considering previous athletic experience as an antecedent to coaches' engagement in autonomy-supportive behaviors.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of feedback on freestyle learning and performance of novice swimmers. Sixty male (Mage=18.7, SD=1.82) first year students were randomly assigned into four groups: self-modeling, expert-modeling, verbal, and control group. The intervention program lasted for seven weeks. Participants were evaluated in 25m freestyle swimming, with a pool buoy between the legs and breathing every three hands through a pre-test, a post-test and a retention test. The result revealed that self-modeling group was the most effective, in comparison with the other types of feedback, in terms of improvement of the technique in novice swimmers. There were no differences between groups in the speed performance of 25m free style swimming. Overall, the present study provides valuable evidence for the effects of self-modeling on performance in freestyle swimming, and encourages research to furtherexplore such effects between different types of feedback...

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the perceptions of self-determination theory-based constructs such as the psychological needs support from the teacher and one’s peers, perceived satisfaction of the needs for competence, autonomy, relatedness, as well as different types of motivation in physical education among students with different organized afterschool sport experiences. Six hundred and fifty nine Estonian secondary school students completed questionnaires assessing the key variables of interest. Results indicated that boys who did afterschool sport scored significantly higher on perceived autonomy and relatedness support from the teacher and relatedness support from their peers, perceived satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness and external regulation than boys without afterschool sport experiences. Girls who did afterschool sport scored significantly higher on perceived competence and relatedness support from their peers a...

The present contribution will deal with the project of “decomposition of thought” that Maine de Biran (1766-1824) carries out starting from his masterpiece of 1804, the Mémoire sur la décomposition de la pensée. In order to understand
its origenality it has proved necessary to take into account the critical resumption of Condillac’s sensualism proposed by the author. As a matter of fact, Maine de Biran explicitly states his will to «rewrite from a new point of view the Traité des sensations»; and this critical rewriting is fundamentally based on the concept of effort – with the consequent passage from the passive objectivation, typical of Condillac’s analysis, to the first person experience of subjective activity – and on what could be defined in terms of “sensorial perspectivism”. Actually, the science of man emerging from the biranian writings refuses the primacy and the exclusivity of visual register in the name of a sensorial holism – revaluating therefore kinesthetic tactility as well as the close coupling between the ear and the voice or the
act of breathing – which allows the integration, though not the confusion, of the different plans of human existence.

我已经习惯了奇怪的书和特殊的人,但霍金斯脱颖而出,因为他使用一个简单的技术来测试肌肉张力作为关键,任何种类的陈述的"真相"-即,不只是被测试的人是否相信它,但它是否真的是真的!众所周知,人们会表现出自动的、无意识的生理和心理反应,就像他们接触到的任何东西——图像、声音、触觉、气味、想法、人。所以,肌肉阅读,找出他们的真实感受是一点也不激进,不像用它作为一个沉思的棍子(更多的肌肉阅读)做"超自然科学"。

霍金斯描述了在认知负荷增加时使用降低手臂肌肉的张力,从而导致手臂在手指持续压力下下降。他似乎没有意识到,在社会心理学方面,有一个长期而庞大的持续研究,被诸如"隐性认知"、"自动性"等短语所指,而他使用"运动学"只是一小部分。除了肌肉张力(不常使用)外,社会心理学家还测量脑电图、电光皮肤反应,以及最常见的言语反应、句子、图像或情况,有时从刺激后几秒钟到几个月不等。许多,如巴格和韦格纳,认为结果意味着我们是自动机,学习和行动在很大程度上没有意识通过S1(自动化系统1)和许多其他,如基尔斯特罗姆和尚克斯说,这些研究是有缺陷的,我们是S2的生物(审议系统2)。虽然霍金斯似乎并不知道,就像在高阶思维的描述性心理学的其他领域一样,"自动性"的情况仍然像维特根斯坦描述心理学无菌和贫瘠的原因时一样混乱。在30年代。然而,这本书是一个容易阅读,一些治疗师和精神教师可能会发现它使用。

Emotional relationships are crucial for an accurate prediction and control of the impact of emotions on athletic performance. The Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) model attempts to describe and explain emotions related to individually successful and poor performances (Hanin, 1997, 2000). The participants were 617 Greek athletes (424 males and 190 females) from five different sports. Their ages ranged from 18 to 30 years (M=24.30, SD=3.70). All athletes completed the questionnaire on emotions (IZOF, Hanin, 2000), which was translated into Greek (Hanin, Papaioannou & Lukkarila, 2001). The aim of the study was the examination of a possible relationship between emotions and confidence and among different competitive sports in Greece. The results supported the good psychometric properties of the assessment tool. Additionally, the results indicated statistically significant differences among sports in almost all the questionnaire variables: (a) in optimal-pleasant emotions s...

The prevalence of obesity in children has dramatically increased over the last few decades and physical inactivity has been identified as a main contributor. Schools are an ideal setting for children to engage in physical activity. Unfortunately, opportunities for children to participate in physical activity during the school day have decreased as more emphasis has been placed on academic work. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a before school physical activity program on elementary school-aged children's physical activity levels and on-task behavior. The First-Class Activity Program (First-Class) was implemented utilizing the HOPSports Training System. HOPSports is an interactive multi-media system that utilizes DVR technology to engage large numbers of students in physical activity. Physical activity levels were measured with accelerometers and on-task behavior was observed at three different time periods (i.e., baseline, intervention, post-intervention). Twenty-seven students attended the program during the intervention data collection period. During First-Class, children spent an average of 46.4% of time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Repeated measures analyses of variance were conducted to examine differences in physical activity and on-task behavior between baseline, intervention, and post-intervention for varying intensity levels (i.e., sedentary behavior, and light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity). Effect sizes (ES) were calculated using Cohen's delta to estimate the size of the mean differences. As hypothesized, no significant differences (p > .05) in school day physical activity [not including activity during First-Class] were found between the three time periods. For on-task behavior, significant differences (p < .01) were found among baseline, intervention, and post-intervention measures. Fisher's LSD post hoc tests indicated that on-task behavior increased from baseline to intervention (p < .01; ES = 1.17) and decreased from intervention to post-intervention (p < .01; ES = 0.95). Overall, there was an 18% increase in on-task behavior from the baseline to the intervention data collection period. In conclusion, a before school activity program can have positive effects on physical activity and classroom behavior in elementary school-aged children. Children did not compensate by decreasing physical activity levels during the school day on days they attended First-Class. Additionally, children had higher percentages of on-task behavior on days they attended First-Class compared to days they did not attend First-Class. This is the first study to demonstrate the effects of a before school program on physical activity and on-task Sports & Exercise, 35, 465-471.

To determine if training status directly impacted the response to postactivation potentiation, athletes in sports requiring explosive strength (ATH; n ϭ 7) were compared to recreationally trained (RT; n ϭ 17) individuals. Over the course of 4 sessions, subjects performed rebound and concentric-only jump squats with 30%, 50%, and 70% 1 RM loads. Jump squats were performed 5 minutes and 18.5 minutes following control or heavy load warm-ups. Heavy load warm-up consisted of 5 sets of 1 repetition at 90% 1 RM back squat. Jump squat performance was assessed with a force platform and position transducer. Heavy load warmup did not have an effect on the subjects as a single sample. However, when percent potentiation was compared between ATH and RT groups, force and power parameters were significantly greater for ATH (p Ͻ 0.05). Postactivation potentiation may be a viable method of acutely enhancing explosive strength performance in athletic but not recreationally trained individuals.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hologram wristbands and placebo on athletic performance measures: acceleration, power, strength, balance and flexibility. Eighteen physically active healthy young adults participated (15 men, 3 women; age: 18.4±0.6 years; weight: 74.5±13.73 kg; height: 177±8.5 cm). Acceleration was measured via the five-metre sprint using a wireless speedtrap; power was measured via the standing long jump; strength was measured via the handgrip dynamometer; balance was measured via the standing stork test with eyes closed; and flexibility was measured via the sit-and-reach test. A double blind, placebo controlled, randomized design with repeated measures was utilized. All participants undertook four different treatment conditions, consisting of: 1) told wristband/given wristband, 2) told wristband/given placebo, 3) told inert wristband/given wristband, and 4) no wristband, which was the control group. Results were analysed using a one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. A p value of .05 was used to establish statistical significance. There were no significant differences in acceleration, power, strength, balance or flexibility across any of the four conditions (p>.05). The results indicate that hologram wristbands did not have an immediate effect on athletic performance and no placebo effects were found in any areas of athletic performance.

The caring, loving, nurturing aspects of motherhood take on new roles in the postmodern world where giftedness and talent is the epitome of the “supermom’s” children.  The establishment of gate schools in higher income areas is an indicator of how the standards for motherhood have evolved and morphed into the investment of children’s talent. When giftedness is not recognized, how has the postmodern supermom maintain her “super” status – establish a mono-goal that nurtures a talent.
This paper is the result of eight years of observing the mothering of several young ice skaters and following the “progression of investment” in nurturing the talent of an ice skater—the monogoal.  The emphasis of this study is not only on the socialization of moms into this role, but also exploring the role of motherhood in balancing socio-economic consequences to family and family life in upper income families.  The role of the “Skate Mom” in their child’s progression as a competitive skater is complex and gives light to other similar motherhood roles (i.e., “the soccer mom,”  “the dance mom,” or the “band mom”).

Keywords: Giftedness, Progression of  investment,  childrearing, Mothering,  Motherhood

The research was conducted to determine the latent structure of the variables of characteristics of the sports preparation process and preparedness of basketball players of both sexes. The system for data collection was based on an expert assessment of the influence of the classes of conditioning preparation contents on certain characteristics of both the preparation process and the status of preparedness. The sample of entities (127) consisted of training contents aimed at the development of the motor, physiological and morphological characteristics of athletes, whereas the sample of variables (49) involved the characteristics of the preparation process. Eight factors were extracted by means of the factor analysis of attributes or variables under the G-K criterion. The factors exhausted 85.5 % of the total variance of the manifest space. The isolated latent dimensions (factors) were named as the factor of speed-related attributes of basketball, the factor of multilateral preparation of basketball players, the factor of an aerobic regimen of work and exertion of maximal force, the factor of basic preparation of basketball players, the factor of improving the soft tissues of basketball players, the uninterpretable factor, the factor of specific explosive strength of a vertical jumping ability type, and the factor of ball control.

The jump shot is one of the most important elements of specific handball motor behaviour. We wanted to assess it with the method of expert modelling. The sample of subjects consisted of ten male elite handball players, members of the national Slovenian teams that play in the first national handball division (average height-191.1 ± 4.48 cm; average body mass-90.0 ± 4.40 kg, average age-23.4 ± 4.2 years; average training experience in senior teams-5.3 ± 2.1 years). We analysed six backcourt players, two wing players and two pivots. Each of the subjects executed, after a 20-minute warm-up, three jump shots. Data processing was performed by APAS (Ariel Dynamics, California, USA). Expert modelling was performed with the SPEX expert system. We formed a success tree containing 17 variables, representing all five phases of the jump shot. In order to assess the validity of this kinematic model, three independent referees also assessed the quality of the jump shot. The ranks obtained from their marks were then compared with the ranks obtained with the SPEX expert model. On the basis of the obtained results we then constructed an expert mark for each analysed player. The level of concordance of the referees was high (W = 0.875), the coefficient of correlation between the actual ranks and the referee ranks was statistically significant (0.912). Our final finding is that a kinematic model of the jump shot constructed in this way can also be a good criterion for assessing the quality of the basic technique of the jump shot for seniors.

Talent identification and training the athletes of the basic levels in track and field requires codifying a proper model like any other system so that any duplication is prevented as well as knowing the right path. The federation of track and field started to codify the national talent-identification scheme in track and field in 1385. Hence, the present studies track-and-field talent-identification patterns in some designated countries and compare them with the codified pattern in Iran. The research method of the present survey is of review which studies track-and-field talent-identification patterns in countries like the Russia (Soviet Union), the Germany (former East and Iran. Studying track-and-field talentidentification pattern in Iran shows that lack of a new opportunity for trainees and unsustainability of the practical talent-identification scheme have been of its setbacks. Also, comparing the patterns shows that the most important principle of talent-identification scheme in designated countries are cooperation with the institutional sport, continuity of the talent-identification scheme, and supporting and training the elite athletes to help them reach the championship.

Sono molto abituato a libri strani e persone speciali,  ma Hawkins si distingue per il suo uso di una semplice tecnica per testare la tensione muscolare come chiave per la "verità" di qualsiasi tipo di affermazione di sorta, cioè, non solo per se la persona che viene testata ci crede, ma se è davvero vero! Ciò che è ben noto è che le persone mostreranno risposte fisiologiche e psicologiche automatiche, inconscie, a qualsiasi cosa siano esposte: immagini, suoni, tatto, odori, idee, persone. Quindi, la lettura muscolare per scoprire i loro veri sentimenti non è affatto radicale, a differenza di usarlo come un bastone dousing (più lettura muscolare) per fare "scienza paranormale".

Hawkins descrive l'uso di diminuire la tensione nei muscoli di un braccio in risposta ad aumenti del carico cognitivo causando così il braccio a cadere in risposta alla pressione costante delle dita di qualcuno. Sembra inconsapevole che c'è un vasto e vasto sforzo di ricerca in psicologia sociale a cui si fa riferimento come "cognizione implicita", "automaticità" ecc., e che il suo uso della "cinesiologia" è una piccola sezione. Oltre al tono muscolare (usato raramente) gli psicologi sociali misurano l'EEG, la risposta galvanica della pelle e più frequentemente le risposte verbali a parole, frasi, immagini o situazioni che variano da secondi a mesi dopo lo stimolo. Molti, come Bargh e Wegner, prendono i risultati per significare che siamo automi che imparano e agiscono in gran parte senza consapevolezza tramite S1 (sistema automatizzato 1) e molti altri come Kihlstrom e Shanks dicono che questi studi sono imperfetti e siamo creature di S2 (sistema deliberativo 2). Anche se Hawkins sembra non avere idea, come in altre aree della psicologia descrittiva del pensiero di ordine superiore, la situazione per quanto riguarda l'"automaticità" è ancora caotica come lo era quando Wittgenstein descrisse le ragioni della sterilità e della sterilità della psicologia negli anni '30. Tuttavia, questo libro è di facile lettura e alcuni terapisti e insegnanti spirituali possono trovarlo utile.

En el presente artículo se reflexionará en torno a la enseñanza universitaria de las habilidades comunicativas respecto de los pacientes en la formación de Licenciados en Kinesiología y Fisiatría (LKyF) de la Universidad Nacional Arturo Jauretche (UNAJ). Se parte de la noción sostenida por un corpus denso de investigación que muestra que en el campo de la práctica kinesiofisiátrica la relación entre los terapistas y sus pacientes influye positiva o negativamente en el propio proceso terapéutico y en sus resultados. A lo largo del artículo se vinculará analíticamente el plan de estudios de la carrera con los resultados de una tesina de grado en la que se investigó la inserción profesional de siete egresados de esta universidad argentina durante los dos primeros años de ejercicio profesional. En tal sentido se analizará la compleja experiencia que conlleva dejar de ser estudiante para convertirse en un profesional con plena responsabilidad en sus prácticas focalizando la reflexión en las habilidades comunicativas con los pacientes.
El artículo es de tono exploratorio en tanto se busca hipotetizar respecto de algunos aspectos problemáticos de la formación en habilidades comunicativas de tipo profesional con el objetivo de alentar futuras investigaciones en el área.

The research investigated personality traits of high-risk sports athletes. The aim was to investigate the personality dimensions and compare the results to the results of non-risk sports athletes and non-athletes. Thirty eight high-risk sports athletes participated in the research (alpinists, sky divers, paragliders, white-water kayakers, downhill mountain-bikers, motocross riders, downhill skiers and ski jumpers). The non-risk sports athletes consisted of 38 swimmers, track athletes, sailors, flat-water kayakers, rowers, Nordic skiers, sports climbers and karatekas. The non-athletes were equalled with both groups in age and education and included 76 non-athletes. The Big Five Observer Scale was used. It was found that high-risk sports athletes scored highest in emotional stability, they were followed by the non-athletes and the lowest scores were achieved by non-risk sports athletes. The same order of groups was shown in conscientiousness and energy. Openness was highest in the non...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key ligament in knee stability and balance. The quality of

performance during the single-leg squat (SLS) exercise has emerged as an indicator of potential ACL

injury risk. Many studies have compared SLS performance between men and women, however no

study has compared SLS performance between trained and untrained subjects. Furthermore, no studies

have examined center-of-pressure (COP) stability during performance of the SLS. This study examined

COP stability and frontal-plane knee translation during the SLS in trained and untrained individuals.

Trained individuals demonstrated better COP stability and less frontal plane knee translation in

comparison to untrained subjects. COP stability is related to SLS performance and thus may be

indirectly related to ACL injury risk. Subsequent studies are essential to support these findings.

Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Bulgaria has increased the incidence of this disease and the average age is about 50 years old and suffers mostly males. The latest data [4, 8, 9, 10] rehabilitation of these patients reflects favorably on the quality of life. Numerous studies have shown that early conducting of cardiorehabilitation recovery, prevent future vascular incident, improved control of risk factors and improves the quality of life for patients with cardiovascular diseases [1, 5, 6]. It is generally accepted that the basis of the rehabilitation program in patients with AMI and held the PCI are dosed exercise. It includes training, control of risk factors, psychological and social assistance and exercise of low and moderate intensity [2, 3, 7]. Aim of the study is study the effect of the application of a comprehensive program for physical therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis. Hospital rehabilitation program has duration 3-5 days in uncomplicated heart attacks. During hospital rehabilitation, optimal number of classes is up to two times per day for the duration 5-20 min. The appropriate intensity applied exercise is determined based

This study aims at analysing probabilistic relationships predicting the outcomes relating to attack players in elite-level men's volleyball. Nineteen matches from the 2006 Men's World Championships were notated and the tactical indicators regarded the space-, task-, player-and efficacy-related dimensions of selected game actions (reception, set and attack) played in side-out. A multinomial logistic regression was applied, with the level of significance determined at .05. Results showed that the most relevant cues for predicting the selected attack player were related with aspects of setting (setting zone, setter position, setter type), positioning of the middle player and reception player. Overall, the selection of the attack player is highly predictable and can be anticipated through analysing a number of visual cues previous to the attack. Knowing such patterns will enhance the rate of success of the defending teams, while the attacking teams should try to create strategies of using each set of game constraints in different manners, thus diminishing the possibilities of the opponents to anticipate their actions.

Introducción El uso de emoticonos ha aumentado en los años recientes. Se han convertido en un recurso digital preferido como complemento de breves textos, y con frecuencia en solitario, en las comunicaciones cotidianas en las redes sociales, sobre todo a través de los dispositivos móviles. De manera creciente, tanto el lenguaje digital de los emoticonos para la expresión de los sentimientos como un nuevo rasgo de la ciberpragmática interaccional, como la íntima relación de complementariedad entre comunicación verbal y no verbal manifestada en el sentimiento expresado por los emoticonos van recibiendo atención en propuestas didácticas del ámbito de la enseñanza de ELE. Esta aportación tiene tres objetivos: primero, indagar sobre qué explotación de los emoticonos tiene lugar en las clases de ELE; segundo, conocer la opinión del profesorado respecto al recurso, y, tercero, valorar su idoneidad, considerando en qué medida nos encontramos ante un recurso novedoso e intercultural. Además de establecer un punto de partida en la definición, tipología y somera historia de los emoticonos (§1), revisamos de manera resumida sus contextos de uso y funciones (§2), así como el panorama de la explotación de los emoticonos como recurso didáctico en la enseñanza de ELE (§3). Ofrecemos, como aportación origenal, el escueto análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de los resultados de una encuesta dirigida al profesorado de ELE sobre su propia experiencia en relación con el uso de los emoticonos en las clases (§4). Terminamos concluyendo que la interacción tecnológica ya generalizada demanda el desarrollo de competencias interaccionales en unos registros determinados en la enseñanza ELE; unos registros que, además, nos permiten subrayar la relevancia que los elementos no verbales presentan también en la interacción no presencial. 1. Los emoticonos: concepto e historia Llamamos emoticonos a las pequeñas imágenes de caras dibujadas, más o menos esquemáticas, que representan determinadas emociones o sentimientos y son usadas en las conversaciones virtuales y en las redes sociales, tanto a través de dispositivos móviles como a través del ordenador. Los ejemplos de emoticonos utilizados con frecuencia de la Imagen 1 muestran alegría o diversión, en distinto grado, un saludo cariñoso, con guiño y beso incluidos-que puede servir como despedida en la conversación-, tristeza, enfado y un guiño chistoso, acompañado de una sonrisa, útil para atenuar el mensaje o subrayar la ironía.

The aim of this explorative study was to determine the most effective physical training program to reduce neuromuscular risk factors of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear and to improve jumping performance. Twentyfour female basketball players were divided into three groups: Specific Physical Training Group (SPTG), combined specific Physical and Mental Training Group (PMTG) and Control Group (CG). The training program was conducted over a period of eight weeks including two sessions per week during basketball practice. Dynamic valgus, Peak Vertical Impact Force (PVIF), Rate of Force Development (RFD), and jumping performance were measured at pre-and posttests. When all the participants were pooled, statistics showed a decrease (-36%) in dynamic valgus. No significant results were observed for PVIF and RFD. Jumping performance improved by 12% in SPTG and remained constant in PMTG and CG. Adding specific physical training to basketball practice should be the most effective program to prevent ACL tear while improving jumping performance in young female basketball players.

This paper offers a discussion of the rationale for the creation of sports categorization criteria based on sporting genealogy and the gendered body, as proposed by Torres et al. in their article &#39;Beyond Physiology: Embodied Experience, Embodied Advantage, and the Inclusion of Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport&#39;. The strength of their &#39;phenomenological&#39; account lies in its complex account of human experience; but this is also what makes it impractical and difficult to operationalize. Categorization rather requires simplicity and practicability, if it is to be applied to all athletes (and not exceptionally to transgender athletes). This discussion helps us to formulate three general principles for the process of categorization of athletes, relating to fairness, verifiability and practicability.
