An exploratory study of olive tourism consumers

The Purpose – The production of olive oil is one of the most important agricultural activities in Mediterranean countries. As such, and given the importance of wine and food tourism in recent years, there is a potential commitment to the development of olive tourism. Design – This paper aims to analyse the kind of the tourist for whom one of the reasons for travelling to a certain destination is to get to know the production of olive oil. Methodology – The methodology for conducting this research was based on fieldwork to learn about different aspects of tourists interested in learning about olive oil production. Approach – In this paper we present the results of fieldwork in Andalusia (Spain), the most important olive oil producing area in the world, to understand the relationship between olive oil and tourism. This paper also tries to create a profile of this kind of tourist. Findings – The results show the significant judgement that respondent tourists make of this agricultural activity, their satisfaction with the experience and also their relationship with rural activities and culture. Originality of the research – This paper is one of the first studies to be carried out in an important destination for olive tourism in Europe

Acute effect on working memory in trained university students: A continuous exercise in different environments

The associated benefits of physical exercise on cognition have been studied in terms of different variables. These benefits in natural environments have been studied during the last decades, and several investigations have shown contradictory results, it could be explained by the diversity of methodological variables that influence the results. The present study aims to analyse the acute effect of a 10 km resistance test in two environments (natural and artificial) on working memory, evaluated with the Digit Span Test. Thirteen highly trained University Students exceeded the inclusion criteria for the study, the methodological recommendations found in previous studies were implemented. The physical exercise intervention was running 10 kilometres at a rate of between 4.00 min/km and 4.10 min/km. This exercise was done in two circuits, in an artificial and natural environment. The subjective perception of effort and the control over the difficulty of the two circuits were controlled to confirm the same level of intensity. One-way ANOVA with Pre-Artificial Environment Condition (0.23 ± 0.16) and Post Artificial Environment Condition (0.94 ± 0.03)] revealed a significant main effect of environment condition, t (13) = 2.14, p < .05, d = 0.62. The results obtained showed how the natural environment produced significant improvements however, the artificial environment improved the results in the cognitive test, although not significantly. The results could be explained by the theory of restoration of attention that natural environments represent, confirming the hypothesis that the performance of physical exercise in natural environments produces an additional effect on working memory

The knapped lithic production from the third millennium cal BC hilltop settlement of Vilches IV (Hellin, Albacete)

Se presenta el estudio de la industria lítica tallada del yacimiento calcolítico en altura de Vilches-IV (Torre Uchea, Hellín, Albacete). El análisis realizado permite mostrar diferentes estrategias por lo que refiere a la captación, procesado y uso de las materias primas silíceas, tanto autóctonas como alóctonas, por parte de una comunidad campesina. En este asentamiento, además de los productos en forma de lasca y lámina con los que se configuraron una amplia gama de útiles –desde elementos de hoz a puntas de flecha–, cabe destacar el empleo de plaquetas tabulares de reducido espesor con las que se confeccionaron diferentes útiles.We present a study of the knapped lithic industry from the Chalcolithic hilltop settlement of Vilches-IV (Torre Uchea, Hellín, Albacete). The analysis carried out shows different strategies regarding the collection, processing and use of siliceous raw materials, both local and non-native, by a rural community. In this settlement, besides products in the shape of flakes and blades, which configured a wide range of tools –from sickle parts to arrowheads–, it is worth mentioning the use of thin tabular platelets for the creation of different tools

Pedagogical self-report on motivation for exercising in university young students

Traditionally women have been less active and physically active than men. Although the recent literature indicates this gender gap, the sexes' difference when practicing sport seems to be decreasing. This study framework's importance could be reflected in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) proposed by UNESCO, which highlight the need to generate strategies to improve health (SDG 3) and equalize opportunities between men and women (SDG 4). The reasons for these differences are multifactorial, with intrinsic and extrinsic motivations indicated as requiring further research. Self-perception in physical performance has been documented to influence women to perform the exercise and physical activity. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and healthy women's self-perception and motivations to perform in a VO2max test. A total of 31 women (21.12 ± 2.01) completed the research. The study was divided into two principal tests. On the one hand, the measurement of a sub-maximal incremental stress test following established ASCM indications. Heart rate and ventilatory parameters were measured during the stress test using a metabolic measurement system and a gas analyzer. After the test, the study sample completed the self-completed Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire and the International Short Form Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), and the Self Report of Reasons for Physical Activity (AMPEF). Correlation between VO2Max and average weight and body image (r=o.oo1) was detected, showing the positive relationship between both values. The results obtained help confirm the importance of a positive self-perception in women regarding their weight and body image for better physical performance. Although these findings cannot be generalized, they establish a potential relationship between better physical performance and self-perception in most adultsResearch group HUM 564 (Expresión Corporal).
