Influence of Physical Fitness, Anthropometric Profile, and Biological Maturation on Technical Performance and Enjoyment of Untrained Children Who Participate in Continuous and Fractional Small-Sided Games.

The objective is to determine the relationship between physical fitness, anthropometric measures, and biological maturation as they relate to technical performance in small-sided games (SSGs) of continuous and fractioned regimes. Methodology: A crossover-design study in which 12 children participated in two regimens of SSG (continuous and fractional). At the beginning of the study, all children were evaluated using physical fitness tests (horizontal jump test, vertical jump, cardiorespiratory fitness, and agility), anthropometric profile (weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC)), and biological maturation (peak years of growth velocity).

Aerobic Training for Healthy Men and Women: Determining Intensities by Different Equations.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study is to develop equations for aerobic exercise prescription for the intensities of 50, 60, 70 and 80% in healthy subjects of both sexes.

Method: This is a cross-sectional study with convenience sampling drawn from a database of 228 healthy subjects who were randomized into the regression group (GR: 197 subjects (male = 143 and female = 54)) and cross-validation group (CVG: 31 individuals [men = 20 and women = 11]). Kohavi's assumptions were followed in relation to cross-validation and bootstrap for precision estimation and model selection.

Motives of Students for or against the Practice of Physical Exercise and How They Are Related with the Climate in Physical Education Classes.

The main aim of the study was to investigate the reasons that motivate secondary school pupils to practise physical exercise, and how these motives are related to their perception of the climate in physical education classes. Participants: The sample consisted of 448 subjects, 36.8% girls and 63.

[Multicomponent physical training in patients with Parkinson disease].

Background: Multicomponent physical training in patients with Parkinson disease may improve their functional independence, especially in terms of gait speed and coordination.

Aim: To assess the effects of an eight weeks multicomponent physical training program in patients with Parkinson disease.

Material And Methods: Fourteen patients with Parkinson disease participated in a physical training program that lasted eight weeks.

[Effect of an intervention based on virtual reality on motor development and postural control in children with Down Syndrome].

Unlabelled: There are few studies on the effect of a virtual reality-based intervention on motor development and postural control in children with Down Syndrome (DS).

Objective: To determine the effect of a virtual reality-based intervention on motor development and postural control in children with DS.

Patients And Method: Study with a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, which included 16 children with DS randomly assigned to an experimental group (GWBB, n = 9) and con trol group (GC, n = 7).
