Rendimiento deportivo máximo y la discapacidad cognitiva: un nuevo reto para las ciencias del deporte

This research has the objective to find answers to many problems to train high performance athletes with cognitive disability. The same way is very important to determine how that performance in the sport and people with cognitive disability have a relation. The methodology consists of a longitudinal research to find the relation between sports performance and the IQ (intelligence quotient) of athletes with cognitive disability. This research in their initial phase seeks longitudinally describes a group of high performance athlete with cognitive disabilities. Might think that those athletes with lower IQ  would be less suitable for sport performance, not in all cases; Some cases like this, the athlete with lower IQ had better performance than those with higher IQ and in the another case it was found the opposite result. Anyway it is premature to give an answer to this and many more questions in these aspects.El objetivo es evaluar la relación del cociente Intelectual de los atletas semifondistas y fondistas con discapacidad cognitiva y su rendimiento deportivo. Esta investigación se propone encontrar las respuestas a algunos problemas para el alto rendimiento de atletas con discapacidad cognitiva, en preparación y competencias. Pues no se debe generalizar las investigaciones de deportistas convencionales o sin discapacidad a los deportistas en condición de discapacidad; de la misma manera es importante determinar el desempeño deportivo según la discapacidad cognitiva. La metodología consiste en realizar una investigación longitudinal para encontrar relaciones entre el rendimiento deportivo y el cociente de inteligencia (CI) de estos atletas. Esta investigación en su fase inicial busca evaluar un grupo de atletas de alto rendimiento con discapacidad cognitiva. Podría pensarse que aquellos atletas con menor coeficiente de inteligencia serían menos aptos para el rendimiento deportivo, no es así en todos los casos; en los resultados el atleta con menor coeficiente de inteligencia (47%) tuvo un mejor rendimiento que aquellos con mayor coeficiente intelectual (67 y 70%) y también se encontraron resultados contrarios a esta tendencia en las damas. De todos modos, es prematuro para dar una respuesta a esto y a muchos más interrogantes en estos aspectos

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

Incidence of a systematic indoor cycling program on the body composition of users of the gym Smart Fit inTunja-Boyacá

Introducción: El Indoor Cycling (IC) ha generado un gran desarrollo en los centros de fitness, debido a lo atrayente, dinámico y beneficioso en la calidad de vida de las personas, contribuyendo a disminuir porcentajes elevados de grasa, reclutamiento de importantes grupos musculares, un bajo impacto osteoarticular y un elevado gasto calórico; en tal sentido, se hace necesario llevar a cabo un programa sistemático de Indoor Cycling, que incida satisfactoriamente en la composición corporal de las personas. Objetivo general: Determinar la incidencia de un programa sistemático de Indoor Cycling en la composición corporal de usuarios del gimnasio Smart Fit, de Tunja, Boyacá. Metodología: La presente investigación está dentro del enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño metodológico cuasi-experimental. Se aplicó un programa sistemático, cuyo objetivo se centra en el diseño de sesiones de Indoor Cycling de 8 semanas, con una frecuencia de 3 sesiones por semana y participaron 30 afiliados al gimnasio Smart Fit, en Tunja, 10 mujeres y 5 hombres del grupo control y la misma cantidad de sujetos del grupo experimental, con una edad promedio de 33,24 ± 38,47 años, se valoraron a los sujetos objeto de estudio (pre y post) a la aplicación del programa, esto por medio de una báscula de bioimpedancia que permitió registrar la información en una tabla de datos, el % graso, % músculo, % agua, peso e IMC. Resultados: El análisis de los resultados entre los dos grupos con lo que concierne al pre-test y el pos-test, el P-valor de cada una de las variables a contrastar es ˃α 0,05, lo que determina que no alcanza a existir significancia. Conclusión: Según los resultados, el programa de Indoor Cycling no incidió estadísticamente en el análisis del grupo experimental con el grupo control.Introduction: Indoor Cycling (IC) has generated a great development in fitness centres due to the attraction, dynamics and benefits it can have, contributing to reduce high percentages of fat, recruitment of important muscular groups, a low osteoarticular impact and a high caloric expenditure. In this sense, it is necessary to carry out a systematic Indoor Cycling programme that satisfactorily affects the body composition of people. Objective: To determine the incidence of a systematic Indoor Cycling programme on the body composition of users of the Smart Fit gymnasium in Tunja-Boyacá. Methodology: This research is within the quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design. A systematic 8 week Indoor Cycling programme was developed, with a frequency of 3 sessions per week and 30 members of the Smart Fit gymnasium, in Tunja participated, they were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with an average age of 33.24 ± 38.47, evaluations were made (pre and post) this by means of a bioimpedance scale that allowed the recording of fat, % muscle, % water, weight and I in a data table. M.C.Results: The analysis of the results between the two groups with regard to the pre-test and post-test, the P-value of each of the variables to be contrasted is ˃α 0.05 which determines that there is no significance. Conclusion: According to the results, the Indoor Cycling programme did not statistically affect the analysis of the experimental group with the control groupIncluye referencias bibliográfica
