    Dal Pil al Buen vivir: paradigmi di sviluppo, indici e paesi a confronto

    For years, the Gross Domestic Product was used to measure the development of a country. The scientific debate has warned both the use of the indicator as a measure of economic growth, as it ignores the non-market goods and services, illegal activities, negative externalities or quality of public expenditure, both as a measure of well-being or quality of life. The remedies offered by international organizations seek to provide a more realistic measure of the social, political, economic and environmental performance of a country; however, the composite indexes proposed are mainly the result of a Western conception. The author, after having introduced the main indexes and the results applied to a set of European and Latin American countries, suggests an index based on the Andean cosmovision of buen vivir which highlights the relationship with the land and the community, the balance with nature and the psychological well-being

    Le nuove città del sogno e del buen vivir: il Movimento Cittaslow

    In the Renaissance, the cities were a metaphor for human life and community and they acted as guarantors of cultural continuity. Today, contemporary cities are fractals, characterized by a melting pot, not only cultural, but also functional, which overlaps in urban spaces generating new social conflicts and force the representative of the genius loci to cover marginal spaces within of the city. Founding principles of buen vivir and of the International Cittaslow Movement are the strengthen of social cohesion, the discover of local traditions, the claim of urban spaces on which to rebuild a sense of community and to give value of slowness. South American cities and the cities of the Cittaslow International Network have implemented governance policies for local planning that put citizens at the center in accordance with the founding traditions for a better quality of life

    Training in the matrix: introducing a combined program for youth soccer players development

    INTRODUCTION High-intensity technical actions heavily influence the outcome of soccer matches. While performance factors are traditionally trained separately, we proposed a program combining technique and agility (combination of strength, speed, balance and coordination, (Sheppard and Young (2006)) for youth players’ development. We assessed the effect of this program on motor and technical skills. METHODS The program was structured on a 14x12-m matrix of elastic tapes (lifted at 25 cm) that provides a constraints-driven reference for movement timing and techniques. Practices were aimed to develop game-like high-intensity technical actions with the ball. Twenty U12 sub-elite male soccer players (41.8±7.1 kg, 1.55±0.08 m) from to the same club were randomly assigned to an experimental (EG) and a control group (CG). A repeated-measures design was used: the EG was exposed to 20-40 min/session of differentiated training (22 weeks, 38 sessions) while the CG continued the traditional training. Shuttle Dribbling Test (SDT, Huijgen et al. (2010)) and the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT, Ali (2011)) were performed before and after the differentiated training. Medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) of percentage change between measurements, correlation coefficients (r) with individuals’ stature increments and Cohen’s d effect size were computed. RESULTS The stature increment between measurements was 3.5 (IQR 0.1) cm for the CG and 3.8 (0.2) cm for the EG (d=0.11). In the SDT, the EG improved by 4.1%, while the CG performance decreased by 0.6% (d=0.97); in the LSPT, EG improved by 6.8% while the CG by 0.3% (d=0.78). Performance and stature changes were moderately-to-low correlated (CG vs. EG): r=0.35 vs. -0.17 (SDT); r=0.41 vs. 0.18 (LSPT). DISCUSSION The matrix was designed to stress dynamic balance, quick changes-of-direction, and specific agility/coordination skills: the program produced higher performance improvements, compared to traditional training, in 180°-changesof-direction and in a controlling and passing dynamic task. It seemed to balance the losses in coordination caused by the adolescent motor awkwardness (Quatman-Yates et al., 2012). The program acts simultaneously on the physical, technical and perceptual corners of soccer performance, thus optimizing the training process. Despite more age/proficiency levels have to been considered, the methodological implications of this study could be beneficial for youth training effectiveness. REFERENCES Ali A (2011).
