Diseño, validación y fiabilidad de un instrumento para analizar acciones técnico-tácticas en waterpolo Design, validation and reliability of an instrument to analyze technical-tactical actions in water polo

El waterpolo es un deporte que va evolucionando progresivamente tanto a nivel de reglamento como de fundamentos técnico-tácticos. En los últimos años la utilización de software de análisis de video está en auge y se cree necesaria la utilización de estos programas no sólo para para analizar la estructura interna del waterpolo. El objetivo principal es diseñar y validar un instrumento ad hoc que nos permita analizar las acciones técnico-tácticas en waterpolo. El instrumento se ha creado con el visionado de los partidos del Campeonato del Mundo de Natación de Barcelona 2013 donde se estudiaron 24 partidos (12 femeninos y 12 masculinos) a partir de cuartos de final. Se utilizó la metodología observacional, de carácter multidimensional, nomotético y puntual. Para la validez del contenido se ha recurrido al criterio de autoridad creando una encuesta que respondieron 12 entrenadores y para la fiabilidad realizamos el análisis intra-observacional e inter-observacional mediante la prueba kappa de Cohen con el programa IBM® SPSS® Statistics versión 21.0. Se puede concluir que el instrumento diseñado es válido y fiable siendo una herramienta de gran utilidad para el Scouting.Water Polo is a sport in which the rules and the technical and tactical fundamentals are progressively evolving. In recent years the use of video with analysis software has risen and the creation of these programs is believed to be necessary to analyze the internal structure of water polo. The main objective is to design and validate an ad hoc instrument that allows us to analyze technical-tactical actions in water polo. The instrument has been created from viewing the matches of the 2013 Barcelona World Swimming Championships where we studied 24 matches (12 female and 12 male) from the quarterfinals. Observational methodology was used being multidimensional, nomothetic and punctual. The criterion of authority was used for the validity of the content creating a survey with the response of 12 coaches and for reliability conducted using the Kappa Cohen intra-observational and inter - observational analysis test with IBM® SPSS® program Statistics version 21.0.

Effects of a long-term adapted judo program on the health-related physical fitness of children with ASD

[Abstract] Physical fitness is one of the most important physical and mental health aspects for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study aimed to test the effects of a long-term adapted judo program on the health-related physical fitness of children with ASD. The participants were recruited from various associations of families and schools for children with special needs. Twenty-one children were assigned to an experimental group and nineteen to a control group. The experimental group participated in a six-month adapted judo program consisting of 90 min of practice each week. Health-related physical fitness was measured using the indicators obtained from the ALPHA-fitness battery, the estimated VO2max and the waist/height ratio0.5. Changes within and between groups were analyzed using linear mixed models for repeated measures designs and test-retest reliability of tests requiring a maximum score using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). A judo program tailored for children with ASD can improve the cardio-metabolic health and cardiorespiratory fitness of its participants. The problems involved with administering physical aptitude tests that involve maximum effort or performance in children with ASD cast serious doubts on the reproducibility of their results

Improving motor skills and psychosocial behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder through an adapted judo program

[Abstract] Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of an adapted judo program on the motor skills and psychosocial abilities of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: All participants had been diagnosed with ASD and were assessed twice, one time at the start of the intervention and again 6 months later, with the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3) and the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Third Edition (GARS-3). A one-way repeated measures MANOVA was carried out in order to evaluate these assessments, and a mediation analysis was done to determine the relationship between them. Results: The experimental group significantly improved (p < 0.05) from the pre-test to the post-test for several subtests of the TGMD-3 and the GARS-3. Conclusion: The study shows that participation in an adapted judo program clearly helps to improve the motor skills and psychosocial behaviors of children with ASD

Notas Descriptivas sobre la Oferta y la Demanda de los Equipamientos Públicos para Actividades Físicas de Personas Mayores en la Ciudad de L'Hospitalet de Llobregat

The main aim of this paper is to quantify the supply and demand of Physical Activities for older adults in public facilities of the Sport System (SD) and Social System (SS) in the city of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat during the school year 2011-12. Persons in charge of the facilities filled a questionnaire reporting profile of users, type of practiced activities, and frequency of accesses in one week. For analysis of the demand, a users’ sample filled a questionnaire. Main results: The total number of elderly that do sport is 7,930. Of them, 62.88% is SD member, 18.33% is SS user, and 18.70% is user of self-organized activities in the SS. There are important differences between SD and SS. In the SS, female participation is higher (86.89%), the middle ages are major, users report a more solitary family situation, and have no studies in a higher percentage; their sport itinerary is more limited, and their willingness for sport expenses is lower.El objetivo principal de este artículo es cuantificar la oferta y la demanda de las acti-vidades físicas para personas mayores de los equipamientos públicos de los Sistemas Deportivo (SD) y Social (SS) de la ciudad de L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, durante el curso escolar 2011-12.

Analysis of the shots in positions 1 and 2 in even situational framework during the World Championship of Barcelona 2013

The purpose of this study was, on one hand, to know if the left handed players were more effective in the goal categories and getting positive actions in 1 and 2 position than the right handed in the same offense position in Even Situational Framework (FJa). On the other hand, to know if the shots in 1 and 2 position were less effective than the rest of the positions in the goal categories. The methodology was observational, multidimensional, nomothetic and punctual. The sample was all the throws of 24 games (12 male and 12 female) in the 2013 World Championship in Barcelona using an ad hoc instrument for observation through the SportCode software, which was also used to record the data. Descriptives and Chi-square test were obtained and the conclusions are that the left-handed players are more effective if we relate them to the goal categories and positive actions from positions 1 and 2. However, the righties are more effective if we only see the categories related with the goal

Definitions, measurement and prevalence of sedentary behaviour in adults with intellectual disabilities – a systematic review

Supporting positive change in lifestyle behaviours is a priority in tackling the health inequalities experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities. In this systematic review, we examine the evidence on the definition, measurement and epidemiology of sedentary behaviour of adults with intellectual disabilities. A systematic literature search of PUBMED, EMBASE, MEDLINE and Google Scholar was performed to identify studies published from 1990 up to October 2015. Nineteen papers met the criteria for inclusion in the systematic review. Many researchers do not distinguish between insufficient physical activity and sedentary behaviour. None of the studies reported the reliability and validity of the methods used to measure sedentary behaviour. Sedentary time, assessed objectively, ranged from 522 to 643 min/day: higher than in adults without intellectual disabilities. This first-ever review of sedentary behaviour and intellectual disabilities found that at present the evidence base is weak. Studies calibrating accelerometer data with criterion measures for sedentary behaviour are needed to determine specific cut-off points to measure sedentary behaviour in adults with intellectual disabilities. Researchers should also examine the reliability and validity of using proxy-report questionnaires to measure sedentary behaviour in this group. A better understanding of sedentary behaviour will inform the design of novel interventions to change lifestyle behaviours of adults with intellectual disabilities
