- Traditional assessment and its consequences. A case in the hegemonic
Physical Education
Authors: Marta Oliver Alvarez
Abstract: The discourse of performance in Physical Education continues to perpetuate a multitude of techniques and
decisions for student assessment and grading. Physical fitness tests are commonly employed in the school
context, often without due consideration of the resulting consequences. This current case study, using a qualitative
methodology, aims to illustrate the experiences and interpret the consequences of using physical tests among
1st year Baccalaureate students and the respective teacher. Data collection involved a total of 14 semi-structured
interviews and two-month participant observation recorded in a field diary. As the findings illustrate, the
expressed emotions reveal a dichotomy between students who feel motivated by assessment tests and those who
experience frustration after completing them, largely influenced by their skill level. Conversely, the teacher
exhibits an urgent need to standardize the tests and shelter behind its presumed neutrality. The conclusions
highlight the necessity of reflecting on the consequences of these persistently replicated practices, in order to
progress towards more formative and participatory assessment processes.

- Brazilian combat athletes face the postponement of the 2020 Olympics
Authors: Juliana Aparecida de Oliveira Camilo, Giovana Zini Raucci, Valentina Viego
Abstract: The objective of the study is to analyze the perceptions of Brazilian Olympic combat sports athletes (MEC) about
the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with four Brazilian Olympic athletes. The research followed social constructionism, with
an emphasis on discursive practices, recording the way in which the interviewees produce meanings. Two thematic
categories emerge from the interviews that make the analysis possible: a) the logic of hegemonic masculinities
and; b) impacts on mental health. The findings of this research suggest that despite having achieved a good
performance in the Olympic Games, the isolation produced in the Brazilian MEC athletes a strong impact on their state
of mind and expectations, associated with the difficulties caused by the lack of minimum structure available in
Brazil. All those interviewed recognize the importance of psychology services for overcoming the difficulties
experienced by athletes in the face of the pandemic.

- Effects of Physical Education on students with intellectual disabilities.
A systematic review
Authors: Amparo Tijeras Iborra, Jesus Ramón-Llin Más, Diana Marín-Suelves
Abstract: The potential of physical activity and sport for children and young people has been extensively researched, but we
need to make an effort to analyse the current situation in the attention to diversity. This literature review analyses
22 scientific papers published in the last decade using the PRISMA method. The results allow us to analyse the
identification, methodological and content variables and to conclude that all the interventions carried out produced
different types of benefits: physical, emotional, cognitive, social, health and also in the development of values. In
addition, there were also benefits in terms of students’ attitudes towards inclusion. Analysis of these results will
be key to designing future interventions based on scientific evidence. We must not forget that Physical Education is a
subject for all students and everyone has the right to be there, to participate and to learn.

- The execution velocity as a marker of metabolic health in university
students
Authors: Jhonatan peña
Abstract: The aim of this research was to evaluate execution velocity (EV) as a marker of metabolic health in university
students. During the year 2020 and the first semester of 2021, a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried
out on 57 students (45 men and 12 women) belonging to a higher education institution located in the city of Bogotá,
Colombia. To measure VE, the T-Force System, Ergotech, was used during the development of a direct protocol
to determine the value of one repetition maximum (1RM) in the squat and bench press exercise. To assess
the metabolic profile, a blood sample was taken, which was deposited in the Cardiocheck equipment with which
total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and glucose levels.
Participants who developed a lower average mean propulsive speed in all the series developed, both in the
squat test and in the flat press exercise, presented a higher Metabolic Risk Score compared to those who had a
better performance (p < .001).

- Jigsaw Puzzle technique vs. traditional group work: academic performance
and satisfaction of the university students
Authors: Noelia González-Gálvez, Raquel Vaquero-Cristóbal, Pablo Jorge Marcos-Pardo
Abstract: Alternative learning methods such as the Jigsaw Puzzle (JP) technique have gained prominence over traditional teaching
to promote the acquisition of skills in Higher Education. The aim of this research was to compare the academic
performance and satisfaction of students depending on whether the JP technique or traditional group work was
used. This is a cross-sectional study that involved 61 students in their 2nd year of the Degree in Physical Activity and
Sport Sciences (20.11 ± 0.43 years). In one class group, the JP technique was applied (n = 29), while the traditional technique was used in the other group (n = 32). After the end of the workshop, the grade and the degree of satisfaction
obtained with the techniques used were evaluated. The JP group obtained a grade (X = 8.52; SD = 0.5) and a degree
of satisfaction (X = 7.28; SD = 1.5) which were significantly higher than the traditional group (rating: X = 5.58; SD =
0.6; satisfaction: X = 6.34; SD = 1.6) (p ˂ .001 and p = .023, respectively). A correlation was found between grade and
satisfaction (ICC = .360; p = .004). In conclusion, conducting a one-off session based on the JP technique versus using a
traditional technique yields better grades and greater satisfaction with the teaching-learning process.

- Sport and socio-educational intervention: impact on well-being and social
capital in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities
Authors: Luz Ibáñez Navarro, Yamile Turizo, Claudia Arenas, Pedro López
Abstract: Community development includes various areas of approach such as health, sports, among others, which
seek to improve the living conditions of individuals or groups in a specific context. In this sense, some institutions
generate interventions through strategies such as sports or nutritional care. In view of this, the objective of this research
was to analyze the influence of interventions carried out by two non-governmental organizations on the psychological
well-being and social capital of two populations living in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in Colombia. The
research was of a quantitative transversal explanatory type, carried out with 257 participants of the entities
that implement social interventions. Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale and Cardozo and Cortés’ Social Capital
Measurement Scale were applied. The results showed that communities perceive greater identification with foodbased
interventions; in contrast with those that base their actions on the implementation of long-term strategies
based on sports. This raises the question of the effect of interventions that meet basic needs such as food, over
other types of interventions that focus on community and personal strengthening.

- Social distancing and injuries in students during physical exercise and/or
sport
Authors: Rosario Castro López
Abstract: In the last two years, the scientific literature has revealed the negative physical, psychological and affective-social
repercussions of confinement and social distancing measures, being the sports field, in particular, the one
analyzed in this study. The purpose of this research is to relate the frequency and severity of the injury in physical
exercise and/or sport with the population’s perception of the importance of social distancing and the use of masks to
reduce Covid-19 infections. The study sample is made up of 203 participants (95 men and 108 women), with a mean age
of 16 years (SD= 6), belonging to schools in the province of Alicante and Spanish universities. A cross-sectional
and correlational design was acquired with a selective data collection strategy using self-report measures. To
evaluate the injuries, a self-report record was developed and for the population’s perception of the usefulness of
social distancing measures, the Perception Questionnaire on Causal Factors of COVID-19 (CPFC-COVID-19) was used.
The results indicate that those subjects who perceive more important the maintenance of a safety distance and
the use of masks to stop infections, present high levels in the dimension of social distancing for mild and moderate
sports injuries, while those that give less relevance are seriously or very seriously injured. The relationships of
these variables are discussed, as well as the applicability of the results.

- Analysis of the shots in Football for blind people in the 2021 World Grand
Prix
Authors: José M. Gamonales, Víctor Hernández-Beltrán, Kiko León, Mario C. Espada, Manuel Sanabria-Jiménez, Carolina Alemán-Ramírez, Luis Felipe Castelli Correia de Campos, Jesús Muñoz-Jiménez
Abstract: The present study analyses all in-game goal kicks (n = 424) in 5-a-side football for blind people in the international
tournament World Grand Prix 2021, held in Tokyo (Japan). For this purpose, the IOLF5C instrument was used, which consists of 14 variables to analyse the effectiveness of shooting at goal. A descriptive study and association between the independent variables of the analysis (contextual and game actions), and the study variable (result of the throw-in) was carried out. The results show that 5-a-side football for blind people is a sport modality with a reduced number of technical-tactical actions. The winning team of the tournament is the one that performs the highest number of shots at goal, they start the play in the starting zone and shoot at goal from the offensive zone. Perform a fast progression with driving and throwing to goal, without blocking, and, mainly, they hit the ball with the right foot and, mostly with the toe/start. In addition, the result of the throw is conditioned by the variables team status, starting zone, throwing opposition and body zone. Therefore, it is recommended that coaches should design situations that favor quick ball stealing after effective pressure in offensive zones.

- Psychosocial and physical activity levels in elementary school education
pre-service teachers
Authors: Eduardo Melguizo-Ibáñez, Félix Zurita-Ortega, Rafael Caracuel-Cáliz, Jose Alonso Vargas, Gabriel González_Valero, María Rosario Salazar-Ruiz
Abstract: The selection process for teachers in Spain involves a great deal of academic preparation on the part of the applicant, which can lead to the appearance of negative emotional states together with a high level of sedentary
lifestyles. The objectives of the research are to study the levels of physical activity, resilience, stress and burnout
syndrome in terms of the calls for primary education competitive examinations and to study the relationship
between physical activity, burnout syndrome, resilience and stress. A cross-sectional study was proposed in a
sample of 4,117 candidates for the primary education competitive examination. The instruments used were the
Perceived Stress Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. A higher level
of burnout (p < .05) and physical activity practice (p < .05) is observed for participants who have taken the teacher’s
competitive examination more than others. Furthermore, negative relationships of resilience with stress (r = −
.522; p < .01) and physical activity (r = − .166; p < .01) are evident. Finally, it is concluded that the most experienced
candidates in the teacher competition process show higher levels of burnout, stress and physical activity time.

- The Effect of a physical activity program on fitness perception of 9 to
11-year-old schoolchildren
Authors: Tomás Rodolfo Reyes-Amigo, Felipe Sepulveda-Figueroa , Carlos Cristi-Montero , Andrea Bezerra, Laura Freitas, Juan Hurtado, Jacqueline Paez-Herrera, Hernaldo Carrasco-Beltrán, Marcelo Zavala-Jara, Jessica Ibarra-Mora, Edgardo Mendoza
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of a physical activity (PA) program on the fitness perceptions
(FP) of nine-to-11-year-old schoolchildren. This quasiexperimental study involved 24 children divided into
experimental (EG) and control groups (CG). Perceptions of fitness (FP), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRFP) and muscular
strength (MSP) were assessed using the International Physical Fitness Scale (IFIS). Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon U tests were used with significance set at p < .05. Significant differences were found between groups in FP (.000 p < .05), CRFP (.002 p < .05) and MSP (0.02 p < .05), with better perceptions existing in the EG. The estimated effect size was large, indicating real differences between the two groups (FP [CG] = 0.15; FP [EG] = 1.71; CRFP [CG] = 0.15; CRFP [EG] = 2.50; MSP [CG] = 1.14; MSP [EG] = 3 .34). The main findings revealed that the examined PA program had a significantly positive effect on FP both overall and in relation to its cardiorespiratory (CRF) and muscular strength (MS) components. A large effect size.

- The effect of lower limb balance ability and bilateral asymmetry on
flamenco footwork
Authors: Ningyi Zhang, Sebastián Gómez-Lozano, Ross Armstrong, Hui Liu, Alfonso Vargas-Macías
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lower limb balance ability and asymmetry on external load during
flamenco footwork. Five professional and five amateur flamenco dancers completed the flamenco Zap-3 footwork
at 160, 180 beats per minute, and at their own the fastest speed possible while wearing triaxial accelerometry (at the
dominant ankle, non-dominant ankle, 5th lumbar and 7th cervical vertebrae). The external load was calculated in the
form of Playerload. The Y-Balance test was used to assess the balance ability, anterior, posteromedial, posterolateral,
composite scores and the asymmetry index were calculated. Amateur dancers are more susceptible to the effect of
balance ability and better balance ability may produce less external load. Having good bilateral balance symmetry between both limbs is a positive effect among flamenco dancers: it reduces overloads at the cervical level and injury risks
and could optimize their percussive tapping technique.

- A critical look at Adventure Education programs
Authors: Antonio Baena Extremera
Abstract: Programs based on Adventure Education models are increasingly applied in schools, thanks, among other
reasons, to the inclusion of physical activity in the natural environment as a compulsory part of current educational
legislation. Scientific literature has demonstrated over the years the wide-ranging benefits that these educational
models offer students in terms of personal aspects, social aspects, health and the habit of staying active,
among others. For a better application of this model, it is necessary to identify the different existing programs that
use “adventure” as a means to educate and, through this, select the most appropriate model for the target group,
available space and opportunities. For all these reasons, the aim of the present study was to analyze and compare
the characteristics of the best known and most widely used Adventure Education models on the international
scene, highlighting those most widely used in Spain. For the elaboration of this work, the models addressed
were: outdoor adventure education, adventure learning, experiential learning, challenge rope courses, adventure
pedagogy and adventure education. Following analysis of each of these educational models, it is concluded that
for correct educational application knowledge is required about the way in which each typology should be applied, as
well as the differential benefits they produce.
