    This doctoral thesis aims to offer a proposal for monitoring training loads in professional basketball players through the use of low-cost tools that enable optimization of performance and reduction of injury risk in contexts with limited technological resources. The research is structured as a compendium of three scientific publications that address training load from different perspectives, all integrated into a model that is accessible, rigorous, and applicable in real practice. The study was conducted during the 2020/2021 season with the professional team Bilbao Basket, in a particularly complex environment shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, which required constant adjustments in planning and significant logistical restrictions. Within this context, four monitoring tools were implemented: the Wellness questionnaire, the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE and sRPE), the Integrated System for the Analysis of Training Tasks (SIATE), and the Training Impulse (TRIMP), based on heart rate data. The first study designed and validated a monitoring proposal using the four mentioned tools. Through a structural equation modeling approach, it was shown that SIATE, RPE, and Wellness variables significantly predict TRIMP scores during the highest-load training session of the week. This proposal offers an efficient alternative to high-cost traditional methods, demonstrating the feasibility of monitoring internal and external loads in combination. The second study analyzed training load and player wellness in different weekly contexts: without competition, with one game, and with two or more games. The results indicated that perceived loads (sRPE) decrease progressively as the match approaches, while wellness remains stable when load management is adequate. This validates the joint use of Wellness and sRPE as effective indicators for adjusting weekly load planning according to competition density. The third study explored the fluctuation of internal (sRPE) and external (SIATE) loads throughout a full season. Significant correlations between the two variables were observed, supporting their combined use as an evaluation method. Furthermore, notable differences were found depending on the number of weekly games, with weeks without competition showing higher external loads, while weeks with two games had lower loads due to scheduling constraints. Together, these three studies converge into an integrated load monitoring model characterized by its applicability, low cost, and scientific robustness. The thesis proposes a methodology that can be adopted by coaches and practitioners lacking access to advanced technologies, enabling individualized planning tailored to the demands of the competitive environment. This research contributes to academic knowledge in the field of sports training while providing practical tools for realworld application, from professional sports to grassroots and developmental levels. It also establishes future lines of research focusing on replicating the model with larger samples, analyzing additional performance-related variables, and incorporating emerging technologies in training load monitoring.La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo principal ofrecer una propuesta de monitorización de cargas de entrenamiento en jugadores de baloncesto profesional, utilizando herramientas low-cost que permitan optimizar el rendimiento deportivo y reducir el riesgo de lesiones en contextos con recursos tecnológicos limitados. La investigación se estructura como compendio de tres publicaciones científicas que abordan la carga de entrenamiento desde diferentes enfoques, todos integrados en un modelo de análisis accesible, riguroso y aplicable en la práctica real. El trabajo se llevó a cabo durante la temporada 2020/2021 con el equipo Bilbao Basket, en un contexto especialmente complejo condicionado por la pandemia de la COVID-19, lo que implicó reajustes constantes en la planificación y restricciones logísticas importantes. En este entorno, se aplicaron cuatro herramientas de monitorización: el cuestionario de bienestar (Wellness), la percepción subjetiva del esfuerzo (RPE y sRPE), el Sistema Integral de Análisis de Tareas de Entrenamiento (SIATE) y el Training Impulse (TRIMP), basado en la frecuencia cardiaca. En el primer estudio, se diseñó y validó una propuesta de monitorización de cargas compuesta por las cuatro herramientas mencionadas. A través de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, se evidenció que las variables SIATE, RPE y Wellness predicen de manera significativa las puntuaciones obtenidas en el TRIMP durante la sesión de mayor carga semanal. Esta propuesta ofrece una alternativa eficiente frente a métodos tradicionales de alto coste económico y demuestra la viabilidad de monitorizar cargas internas y externas de forma combinada. El segundo estudio analizó la carga de entrenamiento y el bienestar de los jugadores en diferentes contextos semanales: sin competición, con un partido, y con dos o más partidos. Los resultados mostraron que las cargas percibidas (sRPE) disminuyen progresivamente a medida que se acerca la competición, y que el bienestar (Wellness) se mantiene estable si las cargas están bien gestionadas. Este estudio valida el uso conjunto del Wellness y sRPE como indicadores eficaces para ajustar la planificación de cargas semanales en función de la densidad competitiva. El tercer estudio exploró la fluctuación de las cargas internas (sRPE) y externas (SIATE) a lo largo de una temporada completa. Se observaron correlaciones significativas entre ambas variables, lo que respalda su uso combinado como método de evaluación. Además, se detectaron diferencias relevantes en función del número de partidos semanales, siendo las semanas sin competición aquellas con mayor volumen de carga externa (SIATE), mientras que las semanas con dos partidos presentaron cargas menores por limitaciones de calendario. En conjunto, los tres estudios confluyen en un modelo integrado de monitorización de cargas que se caracteriza por su aplicabilidad, bajo coste, y solidez científica. La tesis propone una metodología que puede ser adoptada por entrenadores y técnicos que carezcan de acceso a tecnologías avanzadas, permitiendo una planificación individualizada y ajustada a las demandas del entorno competitivo. Esta investigación contribuye al conocimiento académico en el ámbito del entrenamiento deportivo, al tiempo que ofrece herramientas prácticas para su aplicación en contextos reales, desde el deporte profesional hasta la formación de base. Además, establece líneas futuras de trabajo centradas en la replicación del modelo con muestras más amplias, el análisis de otras variables asociadas al rendimiento y la incorporación de tecnología emergente en la monitorización de cargas

    “Castilla y León destaca por su patrimonio histórico y natural y es desconocido por muchos localizadores extranjeros, por lo que nuestro trabajo es darlo a conocer”. Una entrevista a Kristine Guzmán, Film Commissioner de Castilla y León

    The Castilla y León Film Commission (CYLFC) started its activities in 2013, but prior to its creation it had a precedent of two decades of experience in various public bodies dedicated to the management of film shoots. Thus, from the beginning, the CYLCF has become a key agent in the promotion of the region as an audiovisual destination, of interest for the attraction of the audiovisual industry and the projection of tourism. Its work in­cludes assistance in permits, maintenance of a database of locations and management of film tourism, leveraging the impact of film and digital platforms on tourist attraction. Since 2023, its management depends on the Fundación Siglo para el Turismo y las Artes de Castilla y León. CYLFC also promotes local production through subsidies and collabo­rates with various provincial film commissions and film offices. In addition, it promotes international promotion at different events and develops thematic routes on outstanding film shoots.La Castilla y León Film Commission (CYLFC) arranca con sus actividades en 2013, pero ya con anterioridad a su creación contaba con una trayectoria precedente de diversos organismos públicos dedicados a la gestión de rodajes de dos décadas.

    Firebreak, circuit break, or water break? The impact of metaphor on people’s perception and attitudes towards lockdown measures

    Metaphors can influence people’s reasoning because of their ability to highlight or hide features of the target domain. In this article, we investigate the extent to which different metaphorical frames lead to different policy recommendations that best fit with the structure of the frame, as well as the role of age and gender to account for variation in the responses. We rely on four naturalistic metaphorical frames used during the media coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic: fight, fire, machine, and water. A total of 203 Spanish participants were randomly shown one of the five experimental conditions and were asked to (1) rate their perception of control over the health emergency and (2) recommend policy measures to stop the spread of the pandemic. To assess the extent to which participants had noticed the metaphorical frames, a third question was added where they had to indicate the words that had been most decisive in their answers. Results indicate that the fight frame increases the perception of control over the situation, but mostly for men and older participants; they were also more likely to prefer restrictive measures, whereas women and younger participants favoured a balance between restrictive and preventive policies. Finally, fire keywords were the most likely to be remembered by everyone, unlike the keywords from other frames. These findings shed light on the role of age and gender in moderating the effect of metaphorical framing

    La poro-mecánica de Negarestani como desarrollo del espacio agujereado en Deleuze-Guattari

    No full text
    El presente artículo trata la obra Ciclonopedia del filósofo Reza Negarestani como una propuesta de desarrollo del espacio agujereado propuesto por Gilles Deleuze. En primer lugar, inscribiremos el marco ontológico en que se moverán estos espacios, con base en la filosofía deleuziana, una filosofía del devenir, inmanente, unívoca, materialista y diferencial. El criterio último para caracterizar los espacios será el sentido de las fuerzas que Deleuze toma de Nietzsche. Después explicaremos los espacios liso y estriado trabajados por Deleuze y Guattari en Mil Mesetas y, posteriormente, daremos cuenta de la poro-mecánica de Negarestani, un espacio agujereado donde los protagonistas serán los gusanos, las ratas y los escorpiones. En las conclusiones presentaremos la figura del outsider, un agente subversivo antagonista del Poder autoritario.This article deals with the work Cyclonopedia of the philosopher Reza Negarestani as a proposal for developing the punctured space proposed by Gilles Deleuze. First, we will inscribe the ontological framework in which these spaces will move, based on Deleuzian philosophy, a philosophy of becoming, immanent, univocal, materialistic, and differential. The ultimate criterion for characterizing the spaces will be the sense of forces that Deleuze takes from Nietzsche. We will then explain the smooth and striated spaces worked by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus and then we will give an account of Negarestani’s poro-mechanics, a perforated space where the protagonists will be the worms, the rats, and the scorpions. In the conclusions, we will present the figure of the outsider, a subversive agent antagonistic to the authoritarian power
