Weakley, JJS, Till, K, Darrall-Jones, J, Roe, GAB, Phibbs, PJ, Read, DB, and Jones, BL. Strength and conditioning practices in adolescent rugby players: relationship with changes in physical ...qualities. J Strength Cond Res 33(9): 2361-2369, 2019-Adolescent rugby players benefit from the implementation of resistance training. However resistance training practices and how they influence short-term physical change is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify resistance training practices, evaluate physical development, and relate these changes to resistance training variables across 12 weeks in adolescent rugby union players. Thirty-five male adolescent rugby union players participated in the study with subjects completing an anthropometric and physical testing battery before and after a 12-week in-season mesocycle. Subjects recorded resistance training frequency, exercises, repetitions, load, minutes, and rating of perceived exertion for each session using weekly training diaries during the 12-week period. Paired sample t tests and Cohen's d effect sizes were used to assess change, whereas Pearson correlation coefficients assessed relationships between variables. Resistance training practices were variable, although significant (p ≤ 0.05) improvements in body mass, countermovement jump (CMJ) height, front squat, bench press, and chin-up strength were observed. Resistance training volume load had moderate to strong relationships with changes in CMJ (r = 0.71), chin up (r = 0.73), and bench press (r = 0.45). Frequency of upper and lower-body compound exercises had significant moderate to large relationships with changes in CMJ (r = 0.68), chin up (r = 0.65), and bench press (r = 0.41). Across a 12-week in-season period, adolescent rugby union players have varying resistance training practices, although anthropometric and physical characteristics seem to improve. Given the observed relationships, increased volume loads through the implementation of free-weight compound exercises could be an effective method for improving physical qualities in young rugby players.
Este trabajo pretende demostrar la conveniencia y necesidad de promover a mayor escala la tutoría en el ámbito de la Educación Superior; considerándose ésta como la estrategia que crea vínculo en los ...procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje entre tutor y estudiante. La función tutorial se la caracteriza como el medio en que el docente interactúa con su tutorado con el fin de contribuir en la orientación, acompañamiento y apoyo permanente durante la estancia de formación para garantizar el desarrollo de sus competencias y la culminación exitosa del graduado. El objetivo fundamental de este estudio, es analizar la importancia de las tutorías en la formación de los profesionales de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí. La metodología utilizada es el método deductivo con enfoque cuantitativo, apoyados en el método analítico y descriptivo, para ello se ha diseñado un cuestionario que se aplicará a los estudiantes y docentes donde se han abordado diferentes dimensiones que permiten valorar los procesos de tutorías empleados en este centro de Educación Superior. Entre los resultados esperados se evidenciará la importancia de la tutoría enmarcada en el Reglamento General de Tutorías que regenta esta importante gestión académica, así como también las dificultades que se presentan en su desarrollo y ejecución. Las derivaciones citadas darán las pautas para establecer propuestas de mejora en el desarrollo de la tutoría que contribuyan a garantizar la formación integral los estudiantes.

Diagnostics of professional challenges of teachers is an important issue for advanced professional training. Current and potential educational needs of modern teachers can only be met through a ...comprehensive diagnostics of their professional challenges. At the same time, the results of self-analysis and self-diagnostics do not provide comprehensive information for designing a customized training strategy and advanced training programs. The system of current and potential educational needs of teachers is based on the results of selfdiagnostics, self-analysis and reflection, peer review, professional examination, and analysis of legal, scientific and pedagogical sources and socio-cultural context. The identified educational needs of teachers determine the content and structure of a customized educational strategy, are transformed into educational objectives and determine the content of the advanced training programs providing for a continuous education of teachers.
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the effects of different exercise modes (resistance training RT, whole body vibration training WBVT, and mixed training MT, resistance ...training combined with other exercises such as balance, endurance and aerobic training) on muscle strength (knee extension strength KES) and physical performance (Timed Up and Go TUG, gait speed GS and the Chair Stand CS) in older people with sarcopenia.
All studies published from January 2010 to March 2021 on the effects of exercise training in older people with sarcopenia were retrieved from 6 electronic databases: Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Database. Two researchers independently extracted and evaluated studies that met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pooled analyses for pre- and post- outcome measurements were performed using Review Manager 5.4 with standardized mean differences (SMDs) and fixed-effect models.
Twenty-six studies (25 randomized controlled trails RCTs and one non-randomized controlled trail) were included in this study with 1191 older people with sarcopenia (mean age 60.6 ± 2.3 to 89.5 ± 4.4). Compared with a control group, RT and MT significantly improved KES (RT, SMD = 1.36, 95% confidence intervals 95% CI: 0.71 to 2.02, p < 0.0001, I
= 72%; MT, SMD = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.95, p = 0.0002, I
= 56%) and GS (RT, SMD = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.97, p < 0.0001, I
= 84%; MT, SMD = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.29 to 1.09, p = 0.008, I
= 81%). WBVT showed no changes in KES (SMD = 0.65, 95% CI: - 0.02 to 1.31, p = 0.06, I
= 80%) or GS (SMD = 0.12, 95% CI: - 0.15 to 0.39, p = 0.38, I
= 0%). TUG times were significantly improved with all exercise training modes (SMD = -0.66, 95% CI: - 0.94 to - 0.38, p < 0.00001, I
= 60%). There were no changes in CS times with any of the exercise training modes (SMD = 0.11, 95% CI: - 0.36 to 0.57, p = 0.65, I
= 87%).
In older people with sarcopenia, KES and GS can be improved by RT and MT, but not by WBVT. All three training modes improved TUG times, but not improved CS times.
The modern-day athlete participating in elite sports is exposed to high training loads and increasingly saturated competition calendar. Emerging evidence indicates that inappropriate load management ...is a significant risk factor for acute illness and the overtraining syndrome. The IOC convened an expert group to review the scientific evidence for the relationship of load-including rapid changes in training and competition load, competition calendar congestion, psychological load and travel-and health outcomes in sport. This paper summarises the results linking load to risk of illness and overtraining in athletes, and provides athletes, coaches and support staff with practical guidelines for appropriate load management to reduce the risk of illness and overtraining in sport. These include guidelines for prescription of training and competition load, as well as for monitoring of training, competition and psychological load, athlete well-being and illness. In the process, urgent research priorities were identified.
On the one hand, expectations of primary school teachers are high. On the other hand, a specific pedagogical professionalism of primary school teachers is doubted again and again. In fact, a ...compilation of requirements and competences that apply specifically to primary school teachers does not yet exist. While in the discourse on professional theory, challenges for and demands on the professionalism of secondary school teachers seem to be discussed and empirically developed, in the discourse on primary school pedagogy, methodological-didactic questions as well as structural framework conditions come into view, without grasping the consequences for the actions of primary school teachers and framing them in terms of professional theory. The aim of this volume is therefore to link the two discourses more closely and to look at the professionalisation of primary school teachers from different perspectives.
Einerseits sind die Erwartungen an Grundschullehrkräfte hoch. Andererseits wird immer wieder eine spezifische pädagogische Professionalität von Grundschullehrkräften bezweifelt. Tatsächlich existiert eine Zusammenstellung von Anforderungen und Kompetenzen, die speziell für Grundschullehrkräfte gelten, bislang nicht. Während im professionstheoretischen Diskurs vorrangig Herausforderungen für und Anforderungen an die Professionalität von Lehrkräften der Sekundarstufe diskutiert und empirisch erschlossen zu werden scheinen, geraten im grundschulpädagogischen Diskurs methodisch- didaktische Fragen sowie strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen in den Blick, ohne dabei die Konsequenzen für das Handeln von Grundschullehrkräften zu fassen und professionstheoretisch zu rahmen. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es daher, die beiden Diskurse stärker miteinander zu verbinden und die Professionalisierung von Grundschullehrkräften aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in den Blick zu nehmen.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) contributes to extracellular matrix viscosity and fiber regeneration. HA role in resistance training (RT) performance adaptations is unclear. RT men performed power training ...(nonfunctional overreaching (NFOR) or normal training (CG)) over 7.5 days. Post RT, the CG improved power while NFOR did not with HA content decreasing 34.5% in NFOR with no change in CG. HA is critical for muscular recovery; decreased HA may contribute to impaired power adaptations with NFOR RT.
Nonfunctional over-reaching decreases muscular hyaluronic acid.
