I reati informatici in ambito relazionale e a sfondo sessuale: Cyberstalking, cyberbullismo e pedopornografia online (Cybercrimes in the relational and sexual context: Cyberstalking, cyberbullying and online child pornography)
No full text-In quest'opera sono stati affrontati in modo approfondito i reati informatici o cybercrimes in ambito relazionale e a sfondo sessuale, evidenziando, discutendo ed elaborando con senso critico, l'evoluzione normativa e giurisprudenziale sottolineando l'importanza che il diritto penale, riflettendo sulla sua adattabilità alla modernità liquida, deve necessariamente dialogare con la nuova branca del diritto informatico, dove trovano maggiore spazio e tutela i nuovi diritti all'oblio, alla riservatezza e alla protezione dati personali
La formazione permanente negli operatori di polizia. Educazione fisico-motoria e prevenzione dello stress (Continuing education in police. Physical-motor education and stress prevention)
No full textQuesta monografia affronta un tema particolarmente importante per coloro che quotidianamente
devono garantire le attività investigative, di vigilanza e di ordine pubblico con la massima efficienza
e professionalità. I soggetti coinvolti sono gli operatori di polizia che sono spesso esposti a periodi
di intenso stress lavorativo che può ripercuotersi, a lungo termine, sulle condizioni di salute fisica e
mentale causando un peggioramento generale della qualità della vita.
La formazione fisico-motoria viene realizzata durante la formazione iniziale nelle scuole,
successivamente la ricerca del benessere personale e della cura psicofisica viene gestita
autonomamente dagli operatori. Questo non può garantire una formazione professionale mirata ad
affrontare eventi imprevedibili e fisicamente impegnativi che possono intensificarsi fino al punto tale
da richiedere capacità fisiche specifiche per reagire e rispondere in modo efficace alle emergenze.
Alla luce delle evidenze scientifiche internazionali e delle politiche formative in Italia, diviene così
imprescindibile considerare l’attività fisico-motoria un’occasione formativa per gli operatori di
polizia, in un’ottica di apprendimento lungo il corso della vita.
A tale scopo, in questa monografia, sono stati trattati i concetti teorici e normativi che sostengono
l’educazione e la formazione continua degli adulti come percorso di sviluppo delle competenze
professionali successivo alla formazione iniziale. Inoltre, è stata evidenziata, attraverso una ricerca
bibliografica approfondita, la condizione fisica e mentale degli operatori di polizia in un contesto
internazionale. Successivamente, attraverso uno studio analitico osservazionale, è stata comparata la
condizione psicofisica degli operatori della polizia italiana con un campione rappresentativo della
popolazione italiana costituito da soggetti appartenenti a vari ambiti lavorativi.
Da un’analisi complessiva, è risultata evidente la necessità di attuare delle politiche pubbliche
allo scopo di sensibilizzare le istituzioni ad adottare delle strategie di educazione e di formazione
continua per dare l’opportunità agli operatori di polizia di seguire uno stile di vita attivo e permettere
di praticare attività motoria o sportiva anche durante le ore lavorative, al fine di mantenere e
migliorare la forma fisica, la salute, le prestazioni lavorative e la qualità della vita.
Infine, sono stati forniti gli strumenti necessari per poter attuare delle strategie didattico-formative
di ottimizzazione dell’efficienza fisica e lavorativa degli operatori, allo scopo di fornire degli input
fondamentali ai Dirigenti del personale e di valorizzare la figura esperta dell’istruttore di educazione
fisica. Tale figura tecnico-professionale può agire attraverso dei percorsi didattico-formativi
attuando dei programmi di attività fisico-motoria che hanno l’obiettivo di migliorare lo stato di salute
e di ridurre il rischio di infortuni e malattie presenti in questa popolazione e, conseguentemente, di
ottimizzare l’efficienza fisica e la longevità
Lifestyles and Cancer: Nutrition, Exercise and Integrated Approach.Scientific foundations for nutritional and kinesiological intervention in oncology
No full textLifestyles and Cancer: Nutrition, Exercise, and an Integrated Approach offers a comprehensive and evidence-based exploration of how diet, physical activity, body composition, and the gut microbiota influence cancer prevention, treatment tolerance, and long-term survivorship. Drawing on current research in nutrition science, exercise oncology, microbiome biology, and lifestyle medicine, the book provides a unified framework for understanding how modifiable habits shape metabolic, immunological, and epigenetic pathways involved in carcinogenesis and patient outcomes.
The volume examines the biological foundations of cancer—including metabolic reprogramming, inflammation, oxidative stress, and host–microbiota interactions—and explains how dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet, ketogenic approaches, fasting-based protocols, and targeted supplementation can support clinical care. The text also explores malnutrition, sarcopenia, cachexia, nutrient–drug interactions, and the therapeutic role of oral, enteral, and parenteral nutrition, using internationally recognized diagnostic criteria and assessment tools.
A substantial section is dedicated to the role of structured physical activity, including Adapted Physical Activity (APA), exercise prescription based on FITT-VP principles, mind–body practices (e.g., Tai Chi, Yoga, Qi Gong), and adapted sport within community and clinical pathways. The book describes how exercise modulates systemic inflammation, metabolic homeostasis, and immune function, including emerging evidence on short-chain fatty acids, butyrate-mediated epigenetic regulation, and exercise-induced formate as a potential enhancer of CD8+ T-cell antitumor responses. Practical tools—functional tests, monitoring scales, safety screening, and clinical decision algorithms—are provided to guide implementation.
A key focus is the integration of nutrition and movement across the cancer care continuum, from diagnosis to survivorship. The text highlights interdisciplinary collaboration among nutrition professionals, exercise specialists, clinicians, and mental-health practitioners, and discusses organizational models such as structured care pathways, community-based facilities, and transition protocols from adapted exercise to adapted sport. Barriers and facilitators to implementation (logistics, training, equity, adherence, and policy frameworks) are critically reviewed.
Designed for university students, healthcare professionals, exercise specialists, and informed readers, the book balances scientific rigor with clarity and practical insight. Each chapter includes learning objectives, guiding questions, summary points, and self-assessment tests to support active learning and academic teaching. By integrating nutrition, physical activity, microbiota science, and behavioral factors, this work provides a modern, multidisciplinary foundation for evidence-based lifestyle interventions in cancer prevention and care
Adapted Exercise and Adapted Sport as Rights of Health Citizenship in Italy: A Legal–Policy Rationale and Framework for Inclusion in the Livelli Essenziali di Assistenza (LEA) and the Role of the Chinesiologo
No full textBackground: Adapted exercise and adapted sport are proven, low-cost interventions for chronic disease prevention, management, and social inclusion. However, in Italy, neither is explicitly included in the Livelli Essenziali di Assistenza (LEA; nationally guaranteed essential healthcare services), creating unequal access, fragmented governance, and unstable funding. Provision remains largely dependent on regional schemes such as Palestre della Salute and Attività Fisica Adattata (AFA). Methods: We conducted a narrative review integrating evidence from international guidelines, systematic reviews, and key Italian legislative reforms (Legislative Decrees n. 36/2021, 163/2022, 120/2023). We also examined policy frameworks from Germany, Sweden, and Norway to identify transferable components that could support the development of a nationally guaranteed, rights-based system for adapted exercise and adapted sport. Results: Consistent evidence shows that adapted exercise improves functional capacity, quality of life, and clinical outcomes while reducing hospitalizations and healthcare expenditures. Adapted sport further enhances psychosocial well-being, inclusion, and participation among people with disabilities. Based on this evidence, we outline a legal-policy framework for LEA integration that places the chinesiologo at the center of multidisciplinary health teams, defines national standards for assessment, individualized programming, and monitoring, and introduces accreditation mechanisms for facilities and professionals. A blended financing approach is proposed, combining National Health Service (SSN) coverage with income-adjusted co-payments and targeted public–private partnerships. Conclusions: Explicit LEA inclusion of adapted exercise and adapted sport would translate scientific evidence into enforceable rights of health citizenship and ensure uniform national provision, in line with constitutional principles affirmed
by the Italian Court. Such reform would strengthen prevention and chronic-disease management and institutionalize the role of the chinesiologo within the SSN through nationally standardized yet regionally adaptable delivery models

Multilateral methods in Physical Education improve physical capacity and motor skills performance of the youth
Full text linkPhysical education may help young people make informed lifestyle choices, develop proficiency in movement skills, and encourage lifelong participation in physical activity. There is ample evidence that participating in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity can lead to a variety of benefits for children and adolescents. Unfortunately, their physical activity levels are currently insufficient to promote these benefits. Thus, this randomized controlled study investigated the effects of extracurricular multilateral training (MT) lasting for 12 weeks compared to a standard training (ST) program performed at school on physical capacity and motor skills in adolescents. 20 healthy volunteers between 13 and 14 years of age (11 boys and 9 girls, age 13.6 ± 0.5 years) were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG, n = 10) or control group (CG, n = 10). At weeks 1 and 12, the times to run a 505 change of direction speed (CODS) test (505 COD time plus the first 10 m (speed, agility)) and 300 m test (anaerobic capacity) were assessed. Thereafter, the EG underwent MT (90 min, 2 times a week) plus ST, while the CG underwent only ST. Significant main effects of Time (pre vs. post) were observed for 505 COD time (-8.37% vs. 1.81%, f = 0.27). Significant Time x Group interactions were detected in favor of the EG for 505 COD time (-8.37%, f = 0.50), 10 m speed test (-6.51%, f = 0.43) and 300 m run test (-3.50%, f = 0.29). Our findings suggest that the extracurricular MT protocol was effective in improving physical capacity and motor skills competence after a period of 12 weeks. Thus, inclusion of an extracurricular physical activity performed using a multilateral approach might be more beneficial than having only standard programs at school
How to Write a Scientific Article. A Guide for Young Researchers
No full textIt is extremely difficult for many young researchers to write
scientific articles, and few receive specific training in the art of
presenting their research work in written form. Yet, publication is
crucial for career advancement, to obtain funding, to gain academic
qualifications or for all these reasons. However, there are many
young scholars who want to approach the world of research but do
not have an adequate background to deal with writing a manuscript.
This can lead to demotivation and abandonment of their
aspirations.
For this reason, we have produced this guide with the aim of
providing accurate guidelines that will allow the young researcher,
step by step, to acquire the fundamentals and methodological rigor
appropriate for writing a manuscript. Then, we have outlined the
main sections that an average article should contain, the elements
that should appear in these sections, and some suggestions for
revising and making the manuscript acceptable for publication.
Finally, we have included a reference bibliography and some
online resources for those who wish to further explore all aspects
of scientific writing.
We are confident that this guide will be useful to young
researchers as it will enable them to approach manuscript
preparation with more serenity and gradually learn the difficult art
of scientific writing
The "mission" of the professions in the field of sports and motor activities: for an education and training for bio-psycho-social well-being in the territory
No full textEffects of high-load resistance training versus pyramid training system on maximal muscle strength in well-trained young men: a randomized controlled study
Full text linkResistance training (RT) is the primary exercise intervention for increasing muscle strength in humans. However, to our knowledge, it is not clear whether it is better to train muscle strength with high-loads and low volumes or with high-intensity without drastic volume reductions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of a high-load RT compared to Pyramid training system on muscular strength in experienced young men. Twenty participants (age: 23.9 ± 2.0 years; body mass: 75.6 ± 9.4 kg; height: 1.77 ± 0.05 m; RT experience: 4.1 ± 3.4 years) were pair-matched based on initial strength capacity and then randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 10) performing high-load RT (80-95% 1-RM, 3-min rest) twice a week interspersed with a Pyramid training weekly session, or a Pyramid training group (n = 10) performing tri-weekly training sessions with Pyramid method alone (90-sec rest). Both groups trained for 8 weeks using a 3:1 loading structure. Measures pre-intervention and post-intervention included one-repetition maximum [1-RM] barbell bench press, barbell deadlift, lat pull-down, and standing barbell military press. Repeated-measures ANOVA and a paired t-test were used for statistical analyses (p < 0.05). Significant ‘Time x Group’ interaction was found for all the outcome variables (p < 0.0001) and the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements than Pyramid group (p < 0.0001) in bench press (+13.1 vs. +3.7 kg), deadlifts (+19.3 vs. +5.3 kg), pull-down (+17.2 vs. +2.8 kg) and military press (+13.1 vs. +1.9 kg). These findings suggest that high-load RT is an effective method to promote positive short-term adaptations of muscular strength in well-trained young men. To use a combination of different RT systems over time may help to maintain interest in and motivation to perform RT by allowing a varied RT program
Effects of an 8-week Mixed-Methods Strength Training on Maximal Strength of Weightlifting Athletes.
Full text linkThe maximal strength training implies the greatest possible activation of the central nervous system, improving inter and intramuscular coordination and causing considerable benefits recognized by the international scientific community. It is well known that the pyramidal training can give powerful performance results thanks to a progressive increase in the load. However, there are different traditional methods
to strength training and all have already been successfully tested. PURPOSE: This randomized controlled trial study design with experimenter blinding aimed to compare the effects of an 8-week training period of a Mixed-Methods Strength Training (MST) or Pyramidal Training (PT) on maximal strength performance in weightlifting athletes. METHODS: Study participants (20 men, age: 23.9 ± 2.05 years, body mass: 75.6 ± 9.45 kg, height: 1.77 ± 0.05 m, body mass index: 24.09 ± 2.46 kg·m-2) were assigned to the MST group (n = 10) performed strength training with maximal loads (80-95% of 1RM, 3-min rest) for two sessions per week interspersed with a pyramidal training session (90-sec rest), and PT group (n = 10) performed pyramidal training alone (90-sec rest) for three sessions per week. Both groups trained for 8 weeks using a
3:1 loading structure. Measures pre-intervention and post-intervention included one- repetition maximum [1-RM] bench press, barbell deadlifts, lat pull-down, and standing barbell military press. Repeated-measures ANOVA and a paired t-test were used to assess differences in outcome variables across conditions (p < 0.05) RESULTS: The MST group showed significantly greater improvements than PT in bench press (13.1
± 0.91 vs. 3.7 ± 0.47 kg, p < 0.0001), barbell deadlifts (19.3 ± 1.27 vs. 5.3 ± 0.97 kg, p < 0.0001), lat pull-down (17.2 ± 1.72 vs. 2.8 ± 0.79 kg, p < 0.0001), and standing barbell military press (13.1 ± 1.54 vs. 1.9 ± 0.59 kg, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that a Mixed-Methods Strength Training characterized by two sessions with maximal loads interspersed with a pyramidal training session may be more effective than the pyramidal training alone for enhancing the maximal strength in weightlifting athletes. It could therefore be considered a valid and motivating alternative to the traditional strength training methods
