Artículo Accelerometer Monitoring Duration for Reliable Estimates of Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Step Counts in Preschoolers(Human Kinetics, 2025) Ramos Munell, Javier; Antczak, Devan; Álvarez Barbosa, Francisco; Alfonso Rosa, Rosa Mª; Pozo Cruz, Borja del; Pozo Cruz, Jesús del; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1055: Epidemiology of Physical Activity and Fitness Across LifespanThis study aims to establish the reliability of accelerometer-based measurements for physical activity, sedentary behavior, and step counts in preschoolers and determine the optimal monitoring duration necessary for reliable data. Methods: The study analyzed data from 434 preschoolers (ages 3–5) who wore waist-worn ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers for 7 days as part of the Sunrise Study in Spain. Two-way mixed effects intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for various combinations of daily wear time and number of valid days to assess reliability. The Spearman–Brown prophecy formula was applied to determine the required days to achieve reliability scores of 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9. Results: The findings showed that reliability improved with increased wear time, although intraclass correlation coefficients values were weaker around 7 to 9 hours per day. To achieve a reliability score of 0.7, moderate to vigorous physical activity required 3 to 4 days, light physical activity required 4 to 7 days, and sedentary behavior required 8 to 13 days. Steps per day required 7 to 9 days for a reliability score of 0.7, while other step outcomes needed 10 to 13 days. Conclusion: The study provides evidence-based recommendations on the monitoring duration required for reliable estimates of physical activity, sedentary behavior, step counts, and sleep duration in preschoolers using accelerometers. These findings are crucial for researchers and practitioners aiming to accurately assess and promote physical activity in early childhoodArtículo Physical Activity and Sport in Acculturation Processes in Immigrant Women: A Systematic Review(MDPI, 2025) Blanco Ayala, Ana; Galvaan, Roshan; Fernández Gavira, Jesús; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónAcculturation is a key process in the adaptation of immigrant women to their host countries, influenced by social, cultural, and structural factors. Physical activity and sport have been identified as potential tools to facilitate this transition, promoting social inclusion and cultural adaptation. This systematic review, following the PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook, analyzed empirical and conceptual studies published in English since 2000 from Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and ERIC. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies examining the relationship between physical activity, sport, and acculturation in immigrant women, while excluding non-empirical research, studies focusing exclusively on men or children, and those published in languages other than English. A total of 17 studies met the eligibility criteria. Thematic analysis revealed four key dimensions: (1) the bidirectional relationship between acculturation and sport participation, (2) gender and cultural barriers, (3) socio-economic and structural determinants, and (4) the impact on health and psychosocial well-being. The review highlights the role of physical activity in fostering social capital and integration while identifying persistent barriers such as cultural norms, economic constraints, and policy limitations. Although findings support the positive impact of these activities, further research is needed to address intersectional challenges and structural inequalitiesArtículo Diseño y validación mediante el método Delphi de un cuestionario para conocer los criterios del jugador de baloncesto cuando penetra hacia la canasta(Universidad de Murcia, 2024) Hernández Peña, Keb Tonantzin; Gea García, Gemma María; Menayo Antúnez, Ruperto; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1092: Investigación en Actividad Física, Calidad de Vida y Educación FísicaUno de los elementos que más determinan el rendimiento en el jugador de baloncesto es su capacidad de toma de decisiones. Por ello, es necesario ampliar los estudios que permitan entender esta capacidad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue construir y validar un cuestionario que permitiese conocer los Criterios del Jugador de Baloncesto cuando Penetra hacia la Canasta (CJB-PEC). Después de llevar a cabo una revisión de la literatura por parte de los investigadores y de sostener una mesa de discusión, se procedió a la creación de tres dimensiones y 24 ítems para el cuestionario. Posteriormente, se seleccionó a un grupo de 10 diez expertos en el objeto de estudio de esta investigación, los cuales colaboraron vía remota por correo electrónico en la evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa del instrumento. Con el método Delphi en la primera versión tras obtener los valores medios de 10 expertos en univocidad, pertinencia e importancia a través del coeficiente de V de Aiken (0.75), con intervalos de confianza (IC) al 90% y nivel crítico al 0.70, se encontró que: la pregunta 20 no alcanzó el valor mínimo en la V de Aiken. Las preguntas 4, 5, 12, 13, 16, 20 en univocidad, la 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24 en pertinencia, la 7, 12, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24 en importancia y la 12, 18, 19, 20, 24 en valor total no alcanzaron el nivel crítico. Con los resultados y observaciones de los expertos se modificó y construyó la segunda versión del cuestionario. Ésta tuvo 24 ítems, eliminándose las preguntas 4 y 20, reformulándose las preguntas por debajo del nivel crítico al 0.70 y agregándose 2 preguntas. Esta versión pasó a una segunda ronda con los expertos y consiguió valores superiores a 0.75 en la V de Aiken en todas las preguntas, con IC al 90%. Ninguna pregunta estuvo por debajo del nivel crítico al 0.70. Así mismo, en la valoración cualitativa los comentarios de los expertos aprobaron los 24 ítem. Se concluyó que la segunda versión cuenta con los elementos necesarios en validez de contenido, con lo cual se puede considerar este cuestionario como un instrumento para indagar acerca de los conocimientos que tiene un jugador ofensivo al penetrar al aro y programar entrenamientos en función de éstos y de las posibilidades de toma de decisiones en esta acciónArtículo An Analysis of Methodological Aspects in the Practice of Nautical Activities in Educational Centers(MDPI, 2024) Medina Rebollo, Daniel; Saenz-López Buñuel, Pedro; Silva Bento, Pedro Jorge Paulino de; Fernández Gavira, Jesús; Fernández Ozcorta, Eduardo José; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónCurrently, physical and sports activities in natural environments are viewed as valuable resources for combatting sedentary lifestyles, with water sports and related activities offering signifi- cant educational potential. However, these activities are not fully integrated into physical education programs, largely due to a lack of training in methodological approaches. This qualitative study interviewed ten stakeholders (including instructors, managers, and teachers from three countries) to analyze key methodological aspects necessary for effective implementation. The results revealed three main findings: (1) direct instruction emerged as the primary teaching approach, incorporat- ing demonstrations and level-appropriate activities; (2) optimal learning occurs in small groups of 8–12 students per instructor; and (3) technical skill development should focus on sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. This study identified weather conditions as a key challenge, necessitating flexible planning. Based on these findings, this study provides practical guidelines for implementing water sports in educational settings, emphasizing the importance of structured teaching approaches, appropriate group sizing, and environmental considerationsArtículo Analysis of the user experience (UX) of a fitness app by gender(Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia, 2024) Catalán Ubero, Antonio José; Valcarce Torrente, Manel; Gálvez Ruíz, Pablo; Angosto, Salvador; García Fernández, Jerónimo; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. SEJ525: Gestión e Innovación en Servicios Deportivos, Ocio y RecreaciónFitbe is a technological tool that facilitates the comprehensive management of sports spaces and helps users to practice physical activity. User experience is a key aspect to take into account when adopting the use of technological tools. The general objective is to analyse the user experience of sports centres with the Fitbe fitness app, as well as to examine the intention to use and exercise with the app in the future according to gender, age and level of education. A sample of 174 people (53 men and 121 women) was used. The user experience questionnaire (UEQ) was used. The results showed that pragmatic qualities had higher values than hedonic qualities, with statistically significant differences according to gender and educational level. A cluster analysis identified three groups according to the level of intention to use the Fitbe tool. Developers of digital tools and applications should consider the user experience when designing such systems to improve the user experienceArtículo Effects of a Physical Training Program on Cognitive and Physical Performance and Health-Related Variables in Professional esports Players: A Pilot Study(MDPI, 2024) Sanz Matesanz, Manuel; Martínez Aranda, Luís Manuel; Gea García, Gemma María; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1092: Investigación en Actividad Física, Calidad de Vida y Educación FísicaThe present study focused on the effects of a physical training program on physical- and psychological-related variables in professional esports players. Five professional League of Legends (LOL) players belonging to the highest national category participated in this study. Data were obtained before and after a 5 h virtual training session (acute), as well as before and after an 8-week intervention period, focused on decreasing the impact of fatigue on players’ health and performance. The results showed that a complete virtual training session influences their performance, decreasing jump height and joint mobility (p < 0.01), as well as increasing perceived physical and cognitive exertion by 76.9% (p < 0.01) and 166.67% on the “Rating of Fatigue” scale (p = 0.002). Moreover, the intervention was able to reduce the impact of fatigue (30.8% and 43.3% reduction in cognitive and overall fatigue, respectively, p < 0.05), improving, at the same time, the amount of muscle mass by 2%, jumping ability by 9.8% to 21%, and strength levels in various exercises by 63% to 173% (p < 0.01). The implementation of a physical training program is capable of reducing the players’ fatigue perception, improving their physical conditioning and health status, and decreasing the injury riskArtículo Effects of Rowing on Cardiac Function in Breast Cancer Survivors: Sliding Seat Rowing vs. Fixed Seat Rowing(MDPI, 2024) Gavala González, Juan; Real Pérez, Mateo; Gamboa González, Juan; Fernández García, José Carlos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y DeporteThis longitudinal study aimed to analyze the effects of a team rowing-based training program on physical fitness and anthropometric parameters in female breast cancer survivors (n = 40; 56.78 ± 6.38 years). Participants were divided into two groups: one rowed in fixed seat rowing (FSR) boats (n = 20; 56.35 ± 4.89 years) and the other in sliding seat rowing (SSR) boats (n = 20; 57.20 ± 7.7 years). Both groups engaged in two 75-min sessions per week for 24 weeks. Significant improvements were observed in both groups in resting heart rate (FSR: −10.65 bpm; SSR: −8.45 bpm), heart rate at the beginning of the 6-min walk test (6 MWT) (FSR: −10.7 bpm; SSR: −11.25 bpm), and heart rate at the end of the test (FSR: −13.85 bpm; SSR: −20.35 bpm). Blood pressure improved significantly in both diastolic blood pressure (FSR: −12.35 mmHg; SSR: −19.25 mmHg) and systolic blood pressure (FSR: −13 mmHg; SSR: −16.95 mmHg). Additionally, both groups increased the distance covered in the 6 MWT (FSR: +63.05 m; SSR: +93.65 m). These results suggest that a rowing training program is a viable and safe activity for female breast cancer survivors, improving cardiac function, blood pressure, and cardiorespiratory capacity, particularly in sliding seat boats Rowing; Breast cancer; Physical activity; Cardiac function; ExerciseArtículo Effects of Specific training using a rowing ergometer on sport perfomance in adolescents(MDPI, 2024) Gavala González, Juan; Porras García, María Elena; Fernández García, José Carlos; Real Pérez, Mateo; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y DeporteThe main purpose of this study was to study the effects of a specific rowing ergometer training program on the athletic performance of young adolescents (N = 56; 11.73 ± 1.4 years old) compared to a workout based on general strength training. An eight-week training program was implemented, with four sessions per week and two hours per session. The sample was divided into two groups: a control group (CG) that performed circuit training with exercises aimed at building general strength and an experimental group (EG) who focused on specifically training on a rowing ergometer (rowing machine). The data obtained in a rowing meter test over the competition distance were analyzed to obtain the average power attained (W) at the beginning of the training, at the middle (4 weeks), at the end of the training (8 weeks) and one year after the experimentation. The results show that although both forms of training improve the average W obtained in both categories, the EG subjects (+29.94 W) obtained better averages in all phases of the study compared to the CG (+5.88 W). Furthermore, this increase was greater in male rowers (+34.06 W) than in female rowers (+24.54 W). These results reveal that a specific rower rowing ergometer training program has a more significant effect than a general strength program and these effects can even be observed a year after the interventionArtículo Fixed-seat rowing versus sliding-seat rowing: Effects on physical fitness in breast cancer survivors(MDPI, 2024) Gavala González, Juan; Real Pérez, Mateo; Benítez García, Laura; Fernández García, José Carlos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y DeporteThis study aimed to analyze the effects of a team rowing-based training program on physical fitness and anthropometric parameters in female breast cancer survivors (n = 40; 56.78 ± 6.38 years). The participants were divided into two groups: one rowed in fixed-seat rowing (FSR) boats (n = 20; 56.35 ± 4.89 years), and the other rowed in sliding-seat rowing (SSR) boats (n = 20; 57.20 ± 7.7 years). Both groups engaged in two 75 min sessions per week for 24 weeks. Significant improvements were observed in both groups in terms of weight (FSR: −1.93 kg, SSR: −1.75 kg), body mass index (FSR: −0.73 kg/m2, SSR: −0.67 kg/m2), waist circumference (FSR: −2.83 cm, SSR: −3.66 cm), and hip circumference (FSR: −2.02 cm, SSR: −2.88 cm). Muscle strength improved in the lower extremities (jump test: FSR: 2.99 cm, SSR: 3.11 cm) and upper extremities (dominant: FSR: 4.13 kgf, SSR: 4.34 kgf; non-dominant: FSR: 3.67 kgf, SSR: 3.32 kgf). Aerobic capacity also improved, with the SSR group showing a greater increase (FSR: 63.05 m, SSR: 93.65 m). Flexibility tests revealed better results in the SSR group for both dominant (SSR: 1.75 cm vs. FSR: −5.55 cm) and non-dominant limbs (SSR: 1.72 cm vs. FSR: −3.81 cm). These findings suggest that the type of rowing modality can influence physical fitness outcomes, with the SSR group showing superior improvements compared to the FSR group Rowing; Breast cancer; Physical activity; Anthropometry; ExerciseArtículo La eficacia del ABP en la experiencia universitaria: un análisis desde la perspectiva del alumnado(Universidad de Salamanca, 2024) Navarro Soria, Ignasi; Berrutti-Acquadro, Valentina Antonella; Aldeguer Pérez, Ana; Heliz Llopis, Jorge Ricardo; Delgado Domenech, Beatriz; Mañas Viejo, Carmen Rosa; Fernández Carrasco, Francisco Javier; Lavigne Cerván, Rocío; Collado Valero, Joshua; Sánchez Moreno, Miguel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y DeporteSociety is progressing rapidly in all areas, and the requirements for actively participating are con- stantly changing. Therefore, as a society, we are faced with the need to respond to these changes. This reality is not overlooked in the educational sphere, where there is a pressing need for meth- odological changes that provide students with meaningful learning experiences, enabling the development of skills required to become part of this society. Hence, there is a noticeable rise in new methodologies that offer these benefits to students. The main objective of this research is to verify the effectiveness of an active methodology, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), in the univer- sity setting, specifically in the Bachelor's Thesis (known as TFG in Spanish). Two perspectives will be analyzed: academic performance and the development of socio-emotional skills among 50 students pursuing a degree in Primary and Early Childhood Education at the University of Ali- cante. Thus, this student body has been divided into two groups: those who have worked with PBL and those who have not. To do this, a questionnaire covering various aspects was administered following a systematic review and an analysis of previous studies. These results were analyzed for both groups, and it was observed that there were significant differences in everything related to socio-emotional competencies. However, no differences were found in the dimension related to academic performance.Artículo Understanding and involving the perspective of pregnant women as users when designing the framework of e-health and exercise interventions during pregnancy: Preliminary study(MDPI, 2024) Santos Rocha, Rita; Ferreira, Mariana; Pimenta, Nuno; Branco, Marco; Oviedo-Caro, Miguel Ángel; Szumilewicz, AnnaHealth and exercise technology may promote a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to understand and involve the perspective of pregnant women as users in the design of a framework for future e-health and exercise interventions during pregnancy. Pregnant women replied to a questionnaire aimed at understanding their physical activity patterns, needs, and preferences regarding the use of mobile applications (apps). The main results showed that one-third of the women did not practice any type of exercise during pregnancy. Women preferred to exercise in a gym, outdoors, or at home. The majority already had or were currently using a fitness app, but never used any pregnancy-specific app. Most women agreed that it was important to have a specific app for pregnancy to improve knowledge about recommendations on lifestyle, have direct contact with health and exercise professionals, have social interaction with other mothers, and have guidance on preparation for childbirth and postpartum recovery. Understanding and involving the perspective of pregnant women as users will allow researchers to improve the design of a pregnancy-specific app and future e-health and exercise interventions during pregnancy. These preliminary results will lead to the development of the “active pregnancy app” focused on the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and postpartumArtículo Acute effects of padel match play on circulating substrates, metabolites, energy balance enzymes, and muscle damage biomarkers: sex differences(MDPI, 2023) Pradas de la Fuente, Francisco; Cádiz, María Pía; Moreno Azze, Alejandro; Martínez Díaz, Inmaculada C.; Carrasco Páez, Luis; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoThis study aimed to analyze the effects of padel match play on circulating substrates, metabolites, energy balance enzymes, and muscle damage biomarkers and evaluate possible sex-related differences. Twenty-two trained padel players (13 female and 9 male young-adult players) were recruited for this study in which simulated padel matches were analyzed. Circulating levels of substrates (glucose -BG- and triglycerides -TGs-), metabolites (creatinine -Cr- and urea), energy balance enzymes (lipoprotein lipase -LPL-), and muscle damage biomarkers (creatine kinase -CK-, lactate dehydrogenase -LDH-, and fatty acid-binding protein 3 -FABP-3-) were assessed both pre- and post-padel competition. Time analysis of padel matches reported a real time–total time ratio of 0.4. Moreover, players’ mean heart rate during padel matches represented around 75% of their individual maximum value. Unaltered BG levels and a slight decrease in TGs were observed post-exercise. Cr, urea, LPL, CK, LDH, and FABP-3 levels increased after padel matches when total group was considered. Moreover, sex-related differences in Cr, CK, and LDH blood concentrations were found in both pre- and post-padel competition. According to our results, the padel competition could be defined as a low- or moderate-impact sport in which aerobic energy system contribution is prevalent although anaerobic metabolism also plays a key role in performing padel shots and other explosive actions. Considering that male and female players exercised at the same relative intensity during padel matches, sex differences found in muscle damage biomarkers could be due to the greater muscle mass in malesArtículo Analysis of the practice of nautical activities in schools(MDPI, 2023) Medina Rebollo, Daniel; Fernández Ozcorta, Eduardo José; Sáenz-López Buñuel, Pedro; Fernández Gavira, Jesús; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónThis study focuses on the analysis of nautical activities in school environments. The primary objective is to highlight the pivotal role of educators in optimizing the benefits and mitigating the risks associated with water activities in educational settings. To achieve this goal, ten interviews were conducted, evenly distributed among men and women from different countries who work in nautical activities with students in aquatic settings. Additionally, the Delphi method was employed to validate the interviews with expert opinions in the field from a group of nine experts. The analysis of the interviews revealed three significant dimensions, including safety, benefits, and sports-related aspects. The results demonstrate that nautical activities offer physical and cognitive benefits, promote ecological awareness, and foster values such as group cohesion, leadership, and respect. Furthermore, these activities have a positive impact on the physical and mental health of participants, encouraging socialization and conflict resolution. In conclusion, nautical activities in school environments provide a wide range of benefits but require continuous attention in terms of safety and adaptation for individuals with disabilities. These findings underscore the importance of promoting these practices as an integral part of the school curriculumArtículo Influence of high-intensity interval training on IGF-1 response, brain executive function, physical fitness and quality of life in sedentary young university women-protocol for a randomized controlled trial(MDPI, 2023) Jiménez Roldán, Manuel Jesús; Sañudo Corrales, Francisco de Borja; Carrasco Páez, Luis; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoSedentary lifestyles have become a social problem, mainly among women. A sedentary lifestyle has been associated with poorer health in this population, negatively affecting physical and mental health. Physical exercise, in particular high-intensity interval training (HIIT), has been shown to be a neuroprotective tool. The present study provides a protocol design for a parallel-group Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), whose aim will be to compare the effect of two physical inter ventions, HIIT and physical activity (increasing daily steps), on Insulin Growth Factor-1 (saliva IGF-1 concentrations), executive functions, quality of life, body composition, physical fitness, and physical activity in young sedentary women. At least 77 women will be recruited and randomly assigned to either a HIIT group (12-week exercise HIIT intervention, 3 sessions/week), the HIIT + PA group (12-week exercise HIIT intervention, 3 sessions/week, plus 10,000 steps/day), or a control group (usual care). The primary outcome measure will the chronic change in IGF-1 concentration levels measured in saliva. Secondary outcome measures will be: (i) executive functions; (ii) body composi tion; (iii) physical fitness; (iv) physical activity; and (v) quality of life. All outcomes will be assessed at the beginning of the study, after the intervention, and after three months of follow-up. After this intervention, we will be able to determine whether HIIT together with increased physical activity could be more effective than HIIT alone in IGF-1 stimulation. Furthermore, by comparing both intervention groups, we will be able to determine the differential effects on numerous health-related variables. Consequently, the conclusions of this study could help better understand the effects of a training program on IGF-1 concentration levels and executive functions. In addition, various strategies could be proposed through physical exercise to improve cognition in this age group, as well as to improve the health status of this sedentary populationArtículo Mediating effect of motivation on the relationship of fitness with volitional high-intensity exercise in high-school students(MDPI, 2023) Bento Oliveira, André; Carrasco Páez, Luis; Raimundo, Armando; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoWe aimed to investigate the relationship between physical fitness and motivation in adoles cents and analyze if the associations of physical fitness with volitional exercise intensity in adolescents are mediated bymotivation. The participants were 108 adolescents (58 girls 16.0 0.92 years). Cardiores piratory fitness (CRF) was assessed using the Yo-YoITL1, and the push-up test was used to evaluate strength. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The intervention was applied in the first 10–15 min of each Physical Education class (PEC), twice a week, for 16 weeks and ranged from 14 to 20 all-out bouts intervals, adopting a 2:1 work to rest ratio. A cut-point of 90% of the maximal heart rate (HR) was used as a criterion for satisfactory compliance with high-intensity exercise. Volition intensity was assessed through a forearm wearable plethysmography heart rate sensor to ensure compliance with the exercise stimulus at the predetermined target HR zone. Motivation was estimated with a validated questionnaire (BREQ-3). Mediation effects were estimated using bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals and were deemed significant if zero was not included in the intervals, and values below 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. The mediation analysis revealed a non significant indirect effect of physical fitness through motivation on exercise intensity, specifically on CRF(B= 0.0355,95%BootCI[ 0.5838;0.4559]), muscular fitness (B = 0.7284, 95% BootCI [ 2.0272; 0.2219]) and body fat (B = 0.5092, 95% BootCI [ 0.4756; 1.6934]). These results suggest that high or low values of motivation did not increase or decrease volitional high-intensity exercise, and lower levels of fitness (CRF, muscular and body fat) were associated with higher volitional exercise intensity. These findings highlight the need for regular moderate-to-vigorous physical exercise for maintaining or improving physical fitness, regardless of motivation regulations, and emphasize the importance of new strategies in PEC with acute vigorous-intensity activities that retain the health-enhancing effects Body composition; Health; HIIT; Physical educationArtículo Readaptación física en un sujeto con hemiplejía: Estudio de caso(2019) Muñoz Llerena, Antonio; Fernández Gavira, Jesús; Alcaraz Rodríguez, Virginia; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónEste es un estudio de caso que tiene como objetivo diseñar un plan de entrenamiento de un mes de duración para un sujeto con parálisis cerebral hemipléjica del lado derecho del cuerpo y con espasticidad muscular, para recuperar el grado de movilidad funcional del mismo y aumentar su autonomía. Para ello, se ha seguido un plan de entrenamiento a distancia complementario a su terapia habitual, consistente en 3 tareas funcionales que involucren el miembro superior derecho, llevadas a cabo durante 30 minutos al día en total, 10 minutos cada actividad. Para evaluar los resultados se utilizó el test MAS (Modified Ashworth Scale) y medición de los ángulos mediante análisis de video antes y después de la intervención, la valoración cualitativa de la fisioterapeuta y la autovaloración del propio sujeto. En los resultados obtenidos no hubo modificaciones relevantes en el test MAS y en los ángulos, pero sí hubo mejoras a nivel cualitativo (velocidad y rango útil de movimiento) y en la autopercepción del sujeto. Como conclusión, este plan de entrenamiento ha servido para obtener mejoras en el manejo y control del brazo afectado por parte del sujeto, en la satisfacción y en la autopercepción del propio sujeto para con su discapacidadArtículo Gamificación en la docencia: “Star Wars” como contenido transversal para el primer día de clase(Colegio Oficial de Licenciados en Educación Física y en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte, 2019) Fernández Gavira, Jesús; García Fernández, Jerónimo; Gálvez Ruiz, Pablo; Sánchez Oliver, Amparo; Grimaldi Puyana, Moisés; Alcaraz Rodríguez, Virginia; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1092: Investigación en Actividad Física, Calidad de Vida y Educación FísicaEl proceso de Bolonia de transformación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, ha supuesto para la enseñanza universitaria una transformación, si bien en la enseñanza tradicional el modelo educativo se centraba en la enseñanza, ahora se pretende, sobre todo, centrarse en el aprendizaje, poniendo por tanto el foco en el alumnado y en enseñarle a aprender, no ya para su vida actual, sino para toda su vida. En aras de la adquisición de un aprendizaje autónomo, se trata, por tanto, de dotar al alumnado de las herramientas para que sea protagonista de su propio aprendizaje. Un aprendizaje de este tipo, basado en la adquisición de competencias, requiere de un tipo de metodologías que fomenten la reflexión del alumnado, como por ejemplo las Metodologías Activas. El cual, a su vez, se alinea con el método pedagógico de referencia general, Aprendizaje Experiencial, desarrollado por diversos autores (Dewey, 1938/1997; Beard y Wilson, 2006; Benítez, 2009…), el cual se basa en la construcción del aprendizaje a partir de vivencias que necesariamente deben ser reflexionadasArtículo Insuficiente adherencia al ejercicio físico de universitarios. Una revisión sistemática(Universidad de Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones, 2018) Moreno Arrebola, Rubén; Puertas Molero, Pilar; Castañeda Vázquez, Carolina; Castro Sánchez, Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y Deporte; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM1092: Investigación en Actividad Física, Calidad de Vida y Educación Física: El sedentarismo se constituye como uno de los principales pro- blemas para la salud de la población mundial del siglo XXI. Debido a las características socioculturales que presentan los estudiantes universitarios, resulta una población idónea para el estudio y fomento de actividad física (AF). El objetivo principal de la presente revisión sistemática es dar una visión general sobre la adherencia a la práctica de AF entre la población universitaria, así como de los programas de intervención dirigidos a fomen- tar dicha práctica, desde el año 2007 hasta nuestros días. La metodología utilizada ha estado dirigida por la declaración PRISMA. Como principales conclusiones, el 100% de los estudios de la primera selección sostienen la urgente necesidad de la creación e implementación de programas de inter- vención dirigidos a fomentar la práctica de AF entre estudiantes universi- tarios. Finalmente, la mayoría de los programas de intervención estudiados consiguen incrementar la adherencia a la práctica de AFArtículo Portero-jugador en situaciones de inferioridad numérica ofensiva en balonmano: ¿penalización o ventaja?(Red Iris, 2019) Beiztegui Casado, C.; Oliver Coronado, Juan Francisco; Sosa González, Patricia Irene; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Educación Física y DeporteEl objetivo principal fue analizar el resultado final de la acción ofensiva entre los equipos que utilizan, o no, el portero-jugador en situaciones de inferioridad numérica ofensiva en balonmano. Los objetivos secundarios se centran en analizar cómo es la utilización y el comportamiento del portero- jugador y su relación con el resultado final ofensivo y la posterior acción con respecto al contraataque del equipo contrario. Se analizaron las actas oficiales de 86 partidos del 22º Campeonato del Mundo de Balonmano Femenino (Dinamarca 2015) y se realizó el visionado, análisis y registro de las 927 situaciones de inferioridad numérica ofensiva, así como el estudio estadístico pertinente con SPSS v.24Los resultados demuestran que el uso del recurso táctico o estratégico del portero-jugador favorece la obtención de gol en situaciones de inferioridad numérica ofensiva y no penaliza al equipo que lo utiliza, al no existir diferencia significativa en la probabilidad de recibir gol en contraataqueArtículo Propuesta de un programa de prevención de lesiones en voleibol femenino infantil y cadete(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2019) Castillo Andrés, Óscar del; Toronjo Hornillo, Luís; Moya Martínez, Inés; Campos Mesa, María del Carmen; Universidad de Sevilla.
