Authors:Ricardo Serrado Pages: 1 - 12 Abstract: Anyone who likes sports is easily impressed by the talent and rare ability of athletes like Lionel Messi, Roger Federer or Simone Biles. What these athletes do, in their respective domains, is so different from the others that many admirers of these sports consider that they have a divine, transcendent aura, as if they were superhumans endowed with special powers. How these athletes perform feats, actions and movements that most people cannot, even with more training time and more dedication, is a question that has worried scholars for several decades. In this article, we propose the concept of proprioceptive sensitivity as a way of explaining, in part, how and why certain athletes can manipulate and control balls, cars, rackets and sticks, among other objects, with extreme ease. This superior skill gives them advantages in decision making, allowing them to decide better and more easily than others and, subsequently, to achieve a unique performance in the scope of their sports. In short, we will propose that athletes with superior talent in their respective areas have a greater proprioceptive sensitivity, which allows them to establish a better relationship between their body and any object that they have to master in the context of their sport.

Authors:Catalina Lecumberri Pages: 13 - 21 Abstract: El equipo interdisciplinar compuesto por el Cos d’Inspectors d’Educació Especialistes, tecnicos del Departament d’Ensneyament i el Grup de Recerca en Educació Física de la Universitat de Vic- Universitat Central de Catalunya (GREF), ha elaborado un documento de orientaciones metodológicas y evaluación para el despliegue de las Competencias Básicas en el ámbito de la Educación Física para las etapas de Primaria y Secundaria. La suma de sinergias entre las diferentes miradas del ámbito de la Educación Física, han hecho posible que teoria y práctica, disciplina académica y expertos del terreno, lleguen a un consenso sobre como intervenir en el paradigma competencial que se nos presenta. El resultado final ha sido un documento creado de manera cooperativa que expone 8 competencias propias del ámbito de la Educación Física, agrupadas en 4 dimensiones para educar en el ámbito de la educación física en nuestras aulas. La presentación de cada una de las competencias se hace mediante una estructura similar. Se empieza definiendo la competencia, se proponen unas gradaciones que definen tres niveles diferentes de consecución, y se exponen sugerencias metodológicas para su logro. Finalmente, se proponen unas actividades de evaluación concretas con sus correspondientes rúbricas para las y los docentes. PubDate: 2023-05-16
Authors:Matija Škerbić, Ivana Greguric Pages: 22 - 39 Abstract: In the debate on cyborg-athletes in sport, rightly so, (un)fairness was the central point of consideration this far. However, with this paper, we make a claim that in cyborgization cases, together with (un)fairness, another problem should be considered as well - the pressure that cyborgization can put on other athletes, sporting communities and the integrity of sport. In order to make our case we will first critically examine notions of cyborg, cyborgization and cyborg-athletes; secondly, we will discuss the coercion argument and propose changing it into the pressurization argument; thirdly, we will critically examine the concept of integrity of sport; and finally, we will provide ethical guidelines for cyborgization of/in sports.
