Influence of Physical Fitness, Anthropometric Profile, and Biological Maturation on Technical Performance and Enjoyment of Untrained Children Who Participate in Continuous and Fractional Small-Sided Games.

The objective is to determine the relationship between physical fitness, anthropometric measures, and biological maturation as they relate to technical performance in small-sided games (SSGs) of continuous and fractioned regimes. Methodology: A crossover-design study in which 12 children participated in two regimens of SSG (continuous and fractional). At the beginning of the study, all children were evaluated using physical fitness tests (horizontal jump test, vertical jump, cardiorespiratory fitness, and agility), anthropometric profile (weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC)), and biological maturation (peak years of growth velocity). All sessions were recorded and analyzed with the Performance Assessment in Team Sports instrument, and at the end of each game each child was asked to answer a scale of enjoyment for physical activity. Results: The results of the paired samples t-test showed no significant differences in the measures of technical performance and perceived enjoyment for the continuous and fractional regimens of SSGs (p > 0.05). The correlation results showed that technical performance in the continuous and fractional regimes was related to agility, horizontal jump, and height, while biological maturation was only related to technical performance in the fractional regimen of SSGs. Perceived enjoyment showed a negative relationship with weight, height, BMI, and WC. Conclusion: The fractional and continuous regimens of SSGs implemented in this study induced similar technical demands and enjoyment. Furthermore, the results suggest that physical fitness, anthropometric profile, and biological maturation may influence the technical performance and enjoyment of SSGs.

Aerobic Training for Healthy Men and Women: Determining Intensities by Different Equations.

The aim of this study is to develop equations for aerobic exercise prescription for the intensities of 50, 60, 70 and 80% in healthy subjects of both sexes. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling drawn from a database of 228 healthy subjects who were randomized into the regression group (GR: 197 subjects (male = 143 and female = 54)) and cross-validation group (CVG: 31 individuals [men = 20 and women = 11]). Kohavi's assumptions were followed in relation to cross-validation and bootstrap for precision estimation and model selection. The GR was used to build the estimation equations from the multiple linear regression. The CVG was determined to analyze the validity in the estimation equations. The equations to determine the intensities were constructed by means of multiple regression, the independent variables were determined by the stepwise method, observing the significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS: The reliability level of Cronbach's alpha of the multiple linear regression equations was moderate for the intensity of 50% (0.51); for the intensities of 60, 70 and 80%, it corresponded to 0.50, 0.53 and 0.57, respectively. CONCLUSION: The results show that it is possible to apply the equations in the determination of aerobic exercise intensities for healthy individuals. However, the need for further studies in other populations to prove the reliability of the proposed equations is evident.

Motives of Students for or against the Practice of Physical Exercise and How They Are Related with the Climate in Physical Education Classes.

The main aim of the study was to investigate the reasons that motivate secondary school pupils to practise physical exercise, and how these motives are related to their perception of the climate in physical education classes. Participants: The sample consisted of 448 subjects, 36.8% girls and 63.2% boys, aged between 16 and 19 years (M = 17.61; SD = 0.96). The methodology was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Two instruments were applied: self-reporting by the pupils of their motives for practising physical exercise, and a questionnaire on their attitudes towards teachers' behaviour and the physical education programme. The results showed that the strongest motive for the practice of physical exercise was "Prevention and positive health" (M = 5.29; SD = 1.45). In conclusion, there is a weak correlation among the pupils' motives for practising physical exercise and their perception of the climate in class.

Adiposidad corporal, estilos de vida y nivel de actividad física en mujeres dueñas de casa y trabajadoras remuneradas chilenas / Adiposity, healthy lifestyle and physical activity levels in housewives and women with paid employment in Chile

RESUMEN En Chile existe escasa evidencia en relación a las características de los estilos de vida en mujeres dueñas de casa versus mujeres con trabajos renumerados. El objetivo del estudio fue comparar marcadores de adiposidad, hábitos de consumo asociados a estilos de vida y nivel de actividad física (AF) en mujeres dueñas de casa y trabajadoras remuneradas chilenas. Se compararon variables de adiposidad como el índice de masa corporal (IMC), peso corporal, perímetro de cintura (PC), estilos de vida y niveles de AF (transporte, moderada y vigorosa intensidad y tiempo sedente) de 2.232 participantes de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2009-2010. Las dueñas de casa, en comparación con las trabajadoras renumeradas, presentaron un mayor IMC (27,9 vs. 20,0 kg/m2, <0,0001) y PC (98,3 vs. 95,6 cm, <0,0001). El tiempo destinado a la práctica de AF de trasporte (42,5 vs. 51,5 min/día, p= 0,009), moderada (94,2 vs. 128,4 min/día, <0,0001) y vigorosa (25,06 vs. 53,49 min/día, <0,0001) fue menor en dueñas de casa que en trabajadoras renumeradas. Por el contrario, las dueñas de casa destinaron menor tiempo al desarrollo de actividades sedentes (2,71 vs. 3,26 horas/día, <0,0001), además mostraron un menor consumo de alcohol (30,5 vs. 43,2 g/día, p= 0,021) en comparación a trabajadoras renumeradas.

ABSTRACT Lifestyle behaviours among women who take care of their home duties (housewives) and women who are currently working in paid employment is unknown in the Chilean population. The aim of this study was, therefore, to characterise adiposity, lifestyle behaviours and physical activity levels in housewives and women with paid employment in Chile. A total of 2,231 women from the National Health Survey 2009-2010 were included in this study. Adiposity markers (body weight, body mass index and waist circumference), lifestyle behaviors and physical activity were measured using self-reported questionnaires. The main findings of this study was that housewives had a higher body mass index (27,9 vs. 20,0 kg/m2, <0,0001) and waist circumference (98,3 vs. 95,6 cm, <0,0001) than women with paid-employment. Physical activity levels were lower (transport PA 42,5 vs. 51,5 min/day, p= 0,009, moderate PA 94,2 vs. 128,4 min/ day, <0,0001 and vigorous PA 25,06 vs. 53,49 min/day, <0,0001) and sedentary-related behaviours (2,71 vs. 3,26 hours/day, <0,0001) were higher in housewives compare to women with paid-employment. Dietary behaviors showed that housewives consume less alcohol (30,5 vs. 43,2 g/day, p= 0,021) than women with paid-employment.

Efecto de una intervención basada en realidad virtual sobre las habi lidades motrices básicas y control postural de niños con Síndrome de Down / Effect of an intervention based on virtual reality on motor development and postural control in children with Down Syndrome

Resumen: Los estudios sobre intervenciones basadas en realidad virtual y su efecto en el desarrollo motor y control postural en niños con Síndrome de Down (SD) son escasos. Objetivo: Determinar el efec to de una intervención basada en realidad virtual, sobre el desarrollo motor y el control postural en niños con SD. Pacientes y Método: Estudio con un enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño cuasi experimental, que incluyó a 16 niños con SD asignados aleatoriamente a un grupo experimental (GWBB, n = 9) y grupo control (GC, n = 7). Se evaluó control postural mediante el desplazamien to del centro de presión y desarrollo motor con TGMD-2. El programa de intervención se llevó a cabo durante 2 veces por semana por 5 semanas. Los datos fueron sometidos a análisis estadísti cos, el test de Shapiro Wilk para la distribución de la muestra, y T de Student para la comparación de medias de los grupos. Resultados: Se observaron cambios significativos en el Test TGMD-2 y en su subtest de manipulación (p < 0,01) respectivamente. En el resto de las pruebas hubo una mejora, pero no se observan diferencias significativas. Conclusión: Una intervención basada en realidad virtual fue efectiva solo en el GWBB, proporcionando ejercicios de bajo impacto para mejorar el control postural y provocando con ello una mejora de las habilidades motoras en niños con SD.

Abstract: There are few studies on the effect of a virtual reality-based intervention on motor development and postural control in children with Down Syndrome (DS). Objective: To determine the effect of a virtual reality-based intervention on motor development and postural control in children with DS. Patients and Method: Study with a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, which included 16 children with DS randomly assigned to an experimental group (GWBB, n = 9) and con trol group (GC, n = 7). Postural control was evaluated by the center of pressure displacement and motor development with TGMD-2. The intervention program was carried out for five weeks, two times per week. The data were subjected to statistical analysis, the Shapiro Wilk test for the sample distribution, and the Student's T-test for the comparison of group means. Results: Significant chan ges were observed in the TGMD-2 Test and its manipulation subtest (p <0.01) respectively. In the rest of the tests, there was an improvement, but no significant differences were observed. Conclusion: A virtual reality-based intervention was effective in GWBB, providing low-impact exercises to improve postural control and thus leading to improved motor skills in children with DS.

El objetivo de esta investigación es relacionar el desarrollo motor y control postural en niños con Síndrome de Down de la ciudad de Chillán. La investigación tiene un diseño no experimental, transeccional, correlacional. La muestra intencionada no probabilística está constituida por un total de 36 niños entre 6 y 12 años con Síndrome de Down (n=16) y con Desarrollo Típico (n=20). Se evalúo el desarrollo motor grueso por medio del Test of Gross Development (Ulrich, 2000), y control postural mediante una plataforma Wii Balance Board (Rey-Martinez & Perez-Fernandez, 2016) calculando el área de desplazamiento del centro de presiones en posición estática con ojos abiertos y cerrados. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos tanto en desarrollo motor como control postural (p<0,05) siendo mejores en el grupo de desarrollo típico. No se encontró una co-rrelación entre control postural y desarrollo motor en el grupo de niños con Síndrome de Down. En conclusión, los niños con Síndrome de Down presentan un retraso en el control postural y desarrollo motor en comparación a los niños con desarrollo típico, sin embargo, es necesario realizar más inves-tigación para determinar la relación entre ambas variables.

The objective of this research is to relate motor development and postural control in children with Down syndrome in the city of Chillán. The research has a non-experimental, transactional, correlational design. The sample is non-probabilistic intentional and consists of a total of 36 children between 6 and 12 years old with Down Syndrome (n = 16) and with Typical Development (n = 20). The gross motor development was evaluated through the Test of Gross Development (Ulrich, 2000), and postu-ral control through a Wii Balance Board platform (Rey-Martinez & Perez-Fernandez, 2016) calcula-ting the displacement area of the center of pressures in position static with open and closed eyes. The results show significant differences between the two groups both in motor development and postural control (p <0.05), being better in the typical development group. Not found a correlation between pos-tural control and motor development in children with Down Syndrome group. In conclusion, children with Down syndrome show a delay in postural control and motor development compared to children with typical development, however, it's necessary to carry out further research to determine the rela-tionship between the two variables.

Análisis del entrenamiento resistido en el perfil glicémico: una revisión bibliográfica / Analysis of the resistance training in the glycemic profile: a bibliographic review

La presente revisión bibliográfica surge de la necesidad de revisar la evidencia sobre el efecto del entrena-miento resistido en el perfil glicémico. La búsqueda de información se realiza en las bases de datos Ebsco, PubMed, Google Académico y Researchgate, restringida a publicaciones de los años 2011 a 2016. Se utiliza-ron las siguientes palabras clave: Entrenamiento de Resistencia y de control de la diabetes, el Entrenamiento de Resistencia y el control de glucémico, el Entrenamiento de Resistencia y Control de la Salud. Fueron encontrados 841 artículos, a continuación, se excluyeron los artículos que no cumplían con los criterios de inclusión del estudio, de estos 75 fueron excluidos porque no manifestaran el efecto del entrenamiento de resistencia en la glucosa. Finalmente solo 6 estudios fueron seleccionados y analizados para la presente investigación. Los resultados de esta revisión muestran que los métodos de ER, se consideran importantes componentes cuando el objetivo principal es preservar el buen estado de salud, interviniendo positivamente en el perfil glucémico y minimizando los factores de riesgo inherentes a una dieta pobre y estilo de vida sedentario, demostrando que no es sólo el entrenamiento aeróbico el que puede mantener el buen estado de salud.

The present literature review arises from the need to review the evidence on the effect of resistance training on the glycemic profile. The search for information is carried out in the Ebsco, PubMed, Google Scholar and Researchgate databases, restricted to publications from the years 2011 to 2016. The following keywords were used: Resistance training and diabetes control, Resistance and glycemic control, Resistance Training and Health Control. 841 articles were found. Then, articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria of the research were excluded, and from those, 75 more were excluded because they did not manifest the effect of resistance training on glucose. Finally, only 6 research studies were selected and analyzed for this investiga-tion. The results of this review show that RT methods are considered important components when the main objective is to maintain good health by positively intervening on the glycemic profile and by minimizing risk factors inherent to a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle, and therefore demonstrating that it is not just aerobic training that can maintain good health.
