Axis Specific Player Load to Quantify Lower Limb Biomechanical Loading in Adolescent Badminton Players
No full textWhile the use of accelerometer derived Player Load has become increasingly prominent, the limitation of this approach is that training load is reduced to a single number with no differentiation between the mechanisms of loading, resulting in a loss of context. As recovery from different loadings occurs at different rates, the inability to differentiate between the loading mechanisms could lead to under or over training in one or more of these mechanisms. This study sought to compare axis specific accelerometer derived Player Load with differential RPE scores to establish a means of quantifying the lower limb biomechanical load of adolescent badminton training, to try and understand some of the context into the Player Load number. It was postulated that the Player Load from the vertical axis would provide a more precise measure of lower limb loading as other loading parameters, such as upper body rotation observed during a smash, would be removed from the calculation. Nineteen adolescent badminton players (Age: 14.0 ± 0.8 y) based at a dedicated high-performance youth training environment wore a GPS-embedded accelerometer between the scapulae in a purpose-built vest during court-based training. After each training session, the participants provided two RPE scores, one localised for the legs and one for breathlessness. Overall low correlations were observed between the Player Load and RPE values. The Player Load for the vertical axis showed a stronger correlation with the RPE for breathlessness than the RPE for the lower limb stress. The results from this study suggest that axis specific Player Load from the vertical axis does not provide greater insight into lower-limb biomechanical load compared to overall Player Load in adolescent badminton players
Influence of sport-practice-hours on burnout and coping in table tennis players
Get PDFThe aim of this research was to analyse burnout (estimated by emotional and physical exhaustion) and coping (as estimated by the need to seek support) in relation to the number of sport-practice-hours undertaken by table tennis players of various levels of success. A sample of 180 Spanish table tennis players (mean age = 33.87 years; SD = 16.64; 149 men and 31 women) voluntarily participated in the study and filled out a series of self-report questionnaires. The results revealed that there was a significant difference among table tennis players on emotional and physical exhaustion (p < 0.01) with players who practiced more than ten hours reporting higher levels of emotional and physical exhaustion. There was a significant difference in coping behaviour (p < 0.01) with players who practiced more than 10 hours reporting the greatest need. Finally, players who played at a higher level (nationally or internationally) had a greater number of hours of training. It is concluded that players and coaches should take account of the time spent in sport-practice should because it can increase burnout levels in table tennis players. Moreover, coping skills could be influenced by sport-practice-hours, but further research should clarify these outcomes
Performance analysis in wheelchair para-badminton matches
Get PDFPara-badminton has performance classes which consider the impairment degree of each athlete; two of them use a wheelchair and are identified as Wheelchair 1 (WH1) and Wheelchair 2 (WH2). Due to the difference in functionality of players between the classes, the match characteristics of WH1 and WH2 games are expected to be different. Therefore, the objective of our study was to describe and compare the temporal and technical characteristics of classes WH1 and WH2. Twenty-three matches covering both WH1 and WH2 classes for men’s singles performed during the first phase of Brazil Para-badminton Championship 2018 were filmed and assessed. There were differences between all temporal characteristics, except in relation to the rally time and frequency of strokes, which suggested that the WH2 matches were more intense and more prolonged. Both clear and net-lift strokes were the techniques most used by the two classes. The WH2 class showed a higher frequency of total strokes, net-shot, smash, block and non-forced errors (p<0.05) than the WH21 class. Regarding the winning of points, the net-lift and service led to higher wins in WH1. Drop-shot and clear (WH1), and net-shot and drop- shot (WH2) were the highest occurring shots leading to winning points

La muerte acecha en los bosques. Arqueología de un campo de batalla de la última guerra carlista en Cataluña (El Toix, 1874).
Get PDFOne of the processes that characterized the 19th century was the dichotomy between revolution and reaction. This competition played a leading role in politics throughout the century, leading to the outbreak of violent civil conflicts. Spain was no exception and several civil wars ravaged the kingdom, there were particularly bloody in Catalonia. This article presents the archaeological study of the Toix battlefield, fought on March 14, 1874. The article begins with a general introduction to the context of the time. This is followed by an analysis of the methodology and material culture of battlefield archaeology, and its particular application in this context. Next, the analytical body focuses on the works developed and results obtained at the Toix. In point 4, the results obtained are discussed and in the final section a series of conclusions are proposed.Uno de los procesos que caracterizó el siglo XIX fue la dicotomía revolución-reacción. Esta competencia protagonizó la política durante toda la centuria y supuso el estallido de violentos conflictos civiles.

En este artículo se presenta el estudio arqueológico del campo de batalla del Toix del 14 de marzo de 1874. El artículo comienza con una introducción general al contexto de la época. A continuación, se analiza la metodología y cultura material de la arqueología de los campos de batalla, y su particular aplicación en este contexto. Seguidamente, el cuerpo analítico se enfoca en los trabajos desarrollados y resultados obtenidos en el Toix. En el punto 4 se discuten los resultados obtenidos y en el epígrafe final se proponen una serie de conclusiones
Fuerzas navales sutiles de tradición constructiva hispana entre fines del siglo XVIII y principios del siglo XIX. Vínculos de ultramar y potencial del estudio arqueológico de lanchas cañoneras
No full textIn Modern European navies, subtle forces comprised a variety of minor vessels, and gunboats were among the most used. These boats participated in several naval actions, attacking or defending coastal fortifications, as well as engaging in battles with larger ships. These wooden sailing and/or oared vessels, usually equipped with one main gun at the bow, plus other lighter pieces at the stern and sides, were employed both in Europe and the Americas. Given their technical and operational advantages, they occupied a prominent place in the latter context during the independence movements of colonies. Between ca. 1770 and 1825, maritime powers developed specific designs for the hull’s shape and dimensions, propulsion system, equipment, and artillery, which were related to their shipbuilding traditions and the natural conditions of each geographical setting. In this article, the characteristics of the Hispanic tradition gunboats and their role in the Mediterranean and South American context of the period are explored from a historical perspective. On this basis, we discuss the potential of the archaeological study of this type of vessel to understand the transfer of knowledge and techniques for its construction (or adaptation) and use in different scenarios.En las armadas europeas modernas, las fuerzas sutiles comprendían diferentes embarcaciones menores, siendo las lanchas cañoneras (bombarderas u obuseras) una de las más utilizadas. Estas últimas participaron de numerosas acciones navales para batir o defender plazas costeras, e incluso durante enfrentamientos contra barcos de mayor porte. Estas lanchas de madera, propulsadas a vela y/o a remo y usualmente artilladas con una pieza principal a proa, que podía complementarse con otras más ligeras a popa y a los costados, fueron utilizadas tanto en Europa como en América. Dentro de este último contexto, dadas sus ventajas técnicas y operativas, ocuparon un lugar significativo durante los conflictos vinculados a la independencia de las colonias. Para el período comprendido entre ca. 1770 y 1825, las potencias marítimas desarrollaron diseños definidos con relación a la forma y dimensiones del casco, el sistema de propulsión, el equipamiento y la artillería, que respondían en parte a las tradiciones constructivas y las condiciones de cada lugar. En este trabajo, exploramos las características de las lanchas de tradición hispana desde un punto de vista histórico, así como el rol que tuvieron en el contexto mediterráneo y sudamericano del período. Con base en ello, discutimos el potencial del estudio arqueológico de este tipo de embarcaciones para el conocimiento de los procesos de transferencia de conocimientos y técnicas en torno a su construcción (o adaptación) y utilización en diferentes escenarios
La epidemia de cólera en la frontera chileno-peruana (Arica, 1991-1992)
Get PDFWe analyze the cholera epidemic that took place at the beginning of the 1990s in the city of Arica on the Chilean-Peruvian border. Due to the medi- cal-political and social implications of its transmission, our approach to the phe- nomenon has four levels. The first addresses the role of the location of Arica in the development of the epidemic, whose spread was facilitated by the proximity to Peru of the city, which made it the access point for cholera to the rest of the country. The second and third levels describe the operation of the national poli- tical-health system and the regional political-health subsystem. In the fourth le- vel, we review the material and socio-cultural transformations of Arica caused by health controls. Our primary documentation derives from the Chilean Ministry of Health, the National Congress, the National Government, and the Arica press. We conclude that the cholera outbreak in Arica had a low lethality, which can be attributed to the availability of drinking water and sewage systems, an extensive preventive campaign, and health controls at the border with Peru. There, Vibrio cholerae was faced by a state with a legitimized medical-political institutionality that used human and economic resources to manage the epidemic threat.
Se analiza la epidemia de cólera ocurrida en la ciudad de Arica, localizada en la frontera chileno-peruana, a comienzos de los años noventa del siglo pasado. Debido a las implicancias médico-políticas y sociales de su transmisión el acercamiento al fenómeno se efectúa en cuatro niveles. El primero destaca la ubicación fronteriza de Arica en el desarrollo de la epidemia, ya que su proximidad con Perú facilitó la propagación de la enfermedad, convirtiéndola en el punto de acceso del cólera al resto del país. El segundo y el tercero, deli- mitan el funcionamiento del engranaje del sistema político-sanitario nacional y el subsistema político-sanitario regional. El cuarto revisa las transformaciones materiales y socio-culturales ariqueñas producidas por el control sanitario. En base a la documentación primaria del Minis- terio de Salud de Chile, del Congreso Nacional, del Gobierno Nacional y de la prensa ariqueña, se concluye que el cólera en Arica tuvo una letalidad baja atribuible a la disposición de agua potable y alcantarillado en la población —una campaña preventiva extendida—, y al control sanitario en la frontera con Perú. Ahí, el Vibrio cholerae se presentó ante un Estado con una institucionalidad médico-política legitimada que gestionó con recursos humanos y económicos la amenaza epidémica
Accesibilidad de los municipios a las áreas comerciales y su efecto sobre la despoblación: Extremadura como estudio de caso
Get PDFDepopulation represents a priority challenge that requires new contributions for its understanding. In this context, this contribution analyses the accessibility of the population to the commercial areas of reference in Extremadura (Spain), assessing their impact on the capacity to fix population. Access is examined from the perspective of dependence to satisfy basic needs, considering the actual travel time and relative accessibility from each municipality to the head of commercial areas and sub-areas. For this purpose, four key mobility-related variables and a multivariate analysis were used to categorise the municipalities into five groups, ranging from very unfavourable to highly favourable conditions. The results reveal an advantageous triangle formed by Badajoz, Plasencia and Don Benito-Villanueva de la Serena, in contrast to the peripheral areas, especially those in the east of the region, which are more disadvantaged. The conclusions obtained highlight the need to improve certain transport infrastructures and optimise resource management in order to reduce territorial imbalances. It is concluded that strengthening accessibility is essential to promote equitable and sustainable territorial development, mitigating the effects of depopulation and fostering social and economic cohesion in regions with high demographic vulnerability.La despoblación representa un reto prioritario que exige de nuevas aportaciones para su comprensión. En este contexto, esta contribución analiza la accesibilidad de la población a las áreas comerciales de referencia en Extremadura (España), evaluando su impacto en la capacidad de fijar población. Se examina el acceso desde una perspectiva de dependencia para satisfacer necesidades básicas, considerando el tiempo real de desplazamiento y la accesibilidad relativa desde cada municipio hacia las cabeceras de áreas y subáreas comerciales. Para ello, se emplearon cuatro variables clave relacionadas con la movilidad y un análisis multivariante para categorizar los municipios en cinco grupos, que varían desde condiciones muy desfavorables hasta altamente favorables. Los resultados revelan un triángulo ventajoso formado por Badajoz, Plasencia y Don Benito-Villanueva de la Serena, en contraste con las zonas periféricas, especialmente las del este de la región, que presentan mayores desventajas. Las conclusiones obtenidas destacan la necesidad de mejorar determinadas infraestructuras de transporte y optimizar la gestión de recursos para reducir los desequilibrios territoriales. Se concluye que fortalecer la accesibilidad es esencial para promover un desarrollo territorial equitativo y sostenible, mitigando los efectos de la despoblación y fomentando la cohesión social y económica en regiones con alta vulnerabilidad demográfica

Arsenio Moreno Mendoza, “el alcalde de las piedras”. Restauración monumental en la Úbeda democrática (1982-1990)
Get PDFThe conservation and restoration of monumental heritage in Úbeda (Jaén) was a constant throughout the 20th. century, and even some measures undertaken in the city were pioneering at the national ambit.
After the arrival of democracy in our country and the establishment of the state of the autonomies, many of the competences of the central government were transferred to the Regional Government of Andalusia. At this time, a new period opened, coexisting traditional solutions with the new resources offered by avant-garde architecture, in a desire to connect with international modernity.
In this paper we intend to analyze the different actions carried out in this moment of transition in Úbeda, many of which were promoted by the socialist mayor Arsenio Moreno Mendoza, whose mandate was characterized by the recovery of the historical-artistic heritage of the city. Among other actions, it was reformulated the General Urban Planning Plan (1984), it was promoted the restoration of numerous monuments in the city to provide them with a public utility -also setting up the Rehabilitation Workshop School- and began the procedures for the declaration of the city as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.La conservación y restauración monumental del patrimonio en Úbeda (Jaén) fue una constante durante todo el siglo XX, hasta el punto de que algunas medidas acometidas en la ciudad fueron pioneras en el ámbito nacional.
Tras la llegada de la democracia a nuestro país y la instauración del estado de las autonomías, muchas de las competencias del gobierno central fueron traspasadas a la Junta de Andalucía. En este momento entramos en una nueva época, conviviendo las soluciones tradicionales con los nuevos recursos que ofrece la arquitectura de vanguardia, en un deseo de entroncar con la modernidad internacional.
