Anthropometric Profile in Different Event Categories of Acrobatic Gymnastics

There is a specific anthropometric profile for each sport, which may be differentiated even in relation to the position, role or event category within each sport discipline. However, there are few studies on acrobatic gymnastics, and the goal of this work was to determine the anthropometric profile depending on the event category, as well as factors that predisposed to performance in these categories. The sample consisted of 150 gymnasts from Spain, divided into 8 groups according to the event category and the role played. The kinanthropometric measurements were taken through the procedures established by the International Society for the Advancement of Kineantropometry. The anthropometric characteristics, including body mass index, somatotype, body composition and proportionality using the Phantom stratagem were analyzed, and the results obtained from the different groups were compared. A regression analysis was performed with particular groups of gymnasts. No significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between groups of female tops or male bases, although differences were found between female group bases and female pair bases. It could be suggested that higher values of body height, sitting height, the minimum abdominal circumference, percentage of fat and low biliocristal breadth predispose female bases to work in pairs rather than in groups. The conclusion is that the anthropometric measurements are not decisive when guiding a gymnast toward choosing one event category or another, except for female bases

Aeróbic deportivo: importancia del conocimiento previo del error en el aprendizaje y retención de una habilidad gimnástica de salto

El objetivo de este estudio ha sido, por un lado intentar plantear un sistema de entrenamiento técnico indicando los errores a evitar establecidos por el Código de Puntuación en esta modalidad deportiva, y por otro lado, ver los efectos de un entrenamiento global (basado en mini-circuitos) empleado con éxito en otra disciplina deportiva como es la Gimnasia Artística (Carrasco, 1977; Vernetta, 1995, Vernetta y López, 1997, 98). En el presente trabajo, hemos utilizado tres grupos experimentales formados por alumnos/as de la asignatura de Alto Rendimiento en Gimnasia Aeróbica de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y Deporte de la Universidad de Vigo con un rango de edad de 19 a 22 años. La finalidad ha sido delimitar la eficacia diferencial de tres tipos de entrenamiento (Analítico progresivo, Global con Mini-circuito y Mini-circuito con conocimiento previo del error a evitar) sobre el aprendizaje y retención de una habilidad gimnástica de salto del Aeróbic Deportivo. Los resultados obtenidos van a verificar la hipótesis planteada, constatándose las mayores ganancias de aprendizaje y retención en el grupo que se benefició del Mini-circuito con conocimiento previo del error a evitar

Somatotype analysis by age categories in spanish female acrobatic gymnasts

Somatotype is one of the variables seen as the key to success in sports and talent detection at different ages. This is confirmed by evidence in some gymnastic disciplines in different age categories, but no study has been conducted for Acrobatic Gymnastics. The objective is to establish the characteristic somatotype profile in Acrobatic Gymnastics for each age group, determining whether there are differences among them and between the roles in each one. The sample was made up of 54 female tops (X= 11.23 years; 29.62 Kg) and 75 female bases (X= 14.46 years; 50.48 Kg). The somatotype was calculated using the Heath-Carter method to determine the mesomorphy, endomorphy, and ectomorphy of each group. The statistical analysis carried out consisted of a descriptive and comparative analysis based on the component in particular and the mean somatotype dispersion in general. The results showed that mesomorphy was the most important component in all categories and roles. They indicated different somatotype classifications in each group, but the importance of ectomorphy in tops and endomorphy in bases should also be pointed out. Significant differences were obtained in mesomorphy (tops: p = .012; bases p = .026) and ectomorphy in both roles (tops p = .036; bases p = .001). Despite finding significant differences among certain categories, this did not follow a linear, chronological development. Therefore, one cannot conclude that the somatotype evolved with age, since this may be due to sports specialization. However, it was confirmed that mesomorphy, as in other gymnastics disciplines, is the predominant component in all categories and roles

Econometric algorithms applied to the incidence of income on satisfaction with quality of life in Latin American Capitals

The purpose of this research is to determine the incidence of income on the satisfaction of quality of life in Latin American capitals. The data was taken from the CAF Survey in 2017 (ECAF), made by Development Bank of Latin America. To do this, an econometric model was constructed which represents the relationship between the studied variables. Among the main findings, it was identified that, except for Mexico City, in all the analyzed cities a deteriorated state of health reduces the probability that the individual feels satisfied with his or her life. Therefore, health is a crucial element to increase the citizens’ perception of the quality of life in Latin American cities

Implicancias penales del lavado de activos en Ecuador.

Money laundering is the process of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of income obtained from illegal activities, a crime generally carried out through the use of offshore bank accounts, investments in assets such as property, luxury vehicles, and the payment of services with cash. This crime constitutes a threat to a country's economy and financial stability. The objective of the research was to analyze the criminal implications of money laundering in Ecuador, with the purpose of establishing proposals to promote the prevention and eradication of this crime. The research had a descriptive scope, the design of the study was non-experimental, since there was no manipulation of variables, the qualitative approach was applied, in addition a bibliographic review of all written sources dealing with the subject of study was carried out, for the analysis of the results the inductive, deductive, analytical and synthetic method was applied. The crime of money laundering is a worldwide problem, and one of the most relevant aspects is that this illicit act is related to other crimes such as drug trafficking, terrorism, corruption and human trafficking. The consequences of money laundering impact not only society, but also the functioning of the State itself at national and international level; one of the ways to contribute to the fight against this crime is to report to the corresponding authorities any suspicious activity or where the configuration of the illicit act is presumed.El lavado de activos consiste en el proceso de ocultar o disfrazar el origen ilícito de los ingresos obtenidos de actividades ilegales, éste es un delito generalmente llevado a cabo mediante el uso de cuentas bancarias en el extranjero, inversiones en activos como propiedades, vehículos de lujo, y el pago de servicios con efectivo. Este delito constituye una amenaza para la economía y la estabilidad financiera de un país. La investigación se planteó como objetivo analizar las implicancias penales del lavado de activos en Ecuador, con el propósito de establecer propuestas para promover la prevención y erradicación de este delito. La investigación tuvo un alcance descriptivo, el diseño del estudio fue no experimental, por cuanto no hubo manipulación de variables, se aplicó el enfoque cualitativo, además se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de todas las fuentes escritas que tratan el tema de estudio, para el análisis de los resultados se aplicaron el método inductivo, deductivo, analítico y sintético. El delito de lavado de activos, es un problema a nivel mundial, uno de los aspectos más relevantes es que este hecho ilícito estará relacionado con otros delitos como el narcotráfico, terrorismo, la corrupción, y la trata de personas. Las consecuencias del lavado de activo impactan no sólo a la sociedad, sino también, al funcionamiento propio del Estado a nivel nacional e internacional; una de las formas de contribuir a la lucha contra este delito, es reportar a las autoridades correspondientes cualquier actividad sospechosa o donde se presuma la configuración del hecho ilícito

Modelling genetic evaluation for dressage in Pura Raza Español horses with focus on the rider effect

The most popular use of the Pura Raza Espanol horse in sport is for dres- ~ sage competitions. Tests on young sport horses were first established in 2004 in Spain to collect data for the genetic evaluation of this breed’s suitability for dressage. The aim of this study was to compare eight different models to find out the most appropriate way to include the rider in the genetic evaluation of dressage. A progressive removal of systematic effects from model was also analysed. A total of 8867 performance records collected between 2004 and 2011 from 1234 horses aged between 4 and 6 years old were used. The final score in the dressage test was used as the performance trait. The pedigree matrix contained 8487 individuals. A BLUP animal model was applied using a Bayesian approach with TM software. The horse’s age, gender, travelling time, training level, stud of birth and event were included as systematic effects in all the models. Apart from the animal and residual effects that were present in all models, different models were compared combining random effects such as the rider, match (i.e. rider–horse interaction) and permanent environmental effects. A cross-validation approach was used to evaluate the models’ prediction ability. The best model included the permanent environmental, rider and match random effects. As far as systematic effects are concerned, the event or the stud of birth was essential effects needed to fit the data

Femto- to Millisecond Time-Resolved Photodynamics of a Double-Functionalized Push–Pull Organic Linker: Potential Candidate for Optoelectronically Active MOFs

© 2020 by the authors.The design of improved organic linkers for the further engineering of smarter metal–organic framework (MOF) materials has become a paramount task for a wide number of material scientists. In this report, a luminescent double-functionalized push–pull (electron donor–acceptor) archetype organic molecule, dimethyl 4-amino-8-cyanonaphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (Me2CANADC), has been synthesized and characterized. The optical steady-state properties of Me2CANADC are strongly influenced by the surrounding environment as a direct consequence of its strong charge transfer (CT) character. The relaxation from its first electronically excited singlet state follows a double pathway: (1) on one side deactivating from its local excited (LE) state in the sub-picosecond or picosecond time domain, and (2) on the other side undergoing an ultrafast intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) reaction that is slowing down in viscous solvents. The deactivation to the ground state of these species with CT character is the origin of the Me2CANADC luminescence, and they present solvent-dependent lifetime values ranging from 8 to 18 ns. The slow photodynamics of Me2CANADC unveils the coexistence of a non-emissive triplet excited state and the formation of a long-lived charge separated state (2 µs). These observations highlight the promising optical properties of Me2CANADC linker, opening a window for the design of new functional MOFs with huge potential to be applied in the fields of luminescent sensing and optoelectronics.This work was supported by the MINECO (Spain) through projects MAT-2017-8653-R and MAT2017-82288-C2-2-P.
