La psicopedagogía aplicada al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el entrenamiento de tácticas en el fútbol: Una revisión bibliográfica
(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Pérez Murga, Cindy Polet; Laz Arechua, Judith Mariela; Estacio Alvear, Daniel Israel
La investigación en psicopedagogía del deporte y sus recomendaciones aplicadas se caracterizan por un contraste entre las diferentes teorías de aprendizaje en el entrenamiento de tácticas en el fútbol. Las teorías tradicionales y sus correspondientes enfoques para el caso específico de enseñar y aprender cómo jugar al fútbol están sujetos a compatibilidades e incompatibilidades. Se analiza cómo el conductismo como un enfoque para enseñar el juego muestra más incompatibilidades con la naturaleza de las acciones tácticas en comparación con el constructivismo. A medida que los entrenadores se esfuerzan por enseñar el juego y hacer que sus jugadores y equipo rindan, se argumenta que enseñar el juego requiere enfoques de enseñanza que ayudarán a desarrollar su forma de jugar sin quitarles su autonomía y adaptabilidad. El proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje durante el entrenamiento para jugar al futbol debe llevarse a cabo para armonizar las características de los contenidos, el contexto y el individuo en cuestión. Finalmente, se argumenta que el diseño coherente de los juegos proporciona condiciones mínimas para los enfoques de enseñanza, y que dicho diseño debe ser una prioridad al elaborar las actividades de aprendizaje a lo largo del proceso de desarrollo del jugador. Como conclusión, la teoría interaccionista es la que mejor sirve para la enseñanza del juego y el desarrollo del comportamiento táctico. Por lo tanto, se defiende que sus principios pueden ayudar a los entrenadores a adaptar su propia estrategia para enseñar el juego a los estudiantes.

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of treadmill training combined with ankle weights on balance and dorsiflexor muscle strength in children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP). This clinical, randomized trial included forty boys and girls suffering from spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy, ranging in age from 6 to 9 years old. They were split into two equal groups (control group = 20, study group = 20). Both groups received a program of physiotherapy in addition to treadmill exercise, while the study group also received ankle weights for eight weeks. The Biodex stability system was employed to evaluate stability indices, including the overall stability index (OASI), anteroposterior stability index (APSI), and mediolateral stability index (MLSI). Functional balance was measured using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). A Lafayette manual muscle tester (MMT) was used to record the peak force of ankle dorsiflexor muscle strength for both groups, pre- and post-therapy. Post-therapy results showed a significant decrease in all stability indices at stability levels 8 and 4, and a significant increase was observed in functional balance and ankle dorsiflexor muscle strength in both groups (p<0.05). The study group showed a more significant improvement in all outcome measures after therapy than the control group (p<0.05). The program of physiotherapy, treadmill training, and ankle weights was effective in improving balance and dorsiflexor muscle strength among children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy, with ankle weights contributing to greater progress.

(Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Bara, Farida Tandi; As’ad, Suryani; Idris, Irfan; Riu, Deviana Soraya; Ahmad, Mardiana
Prenatal yoga is a modification of hatha yoga tailored for pregnant women. This exercise is recommended throughout pregnancy. This study aimed to determine the effect of prenatal yoga exercise on the serum levels of hepcidin and ferritin in pregnant women. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-and post-test. A total of 134second-trimester pregnant women participatedand were divided into two groups (intervention group = 62, control group = 72). The intervention group received prenatal yoga exercises for 8 weeks (twice a week), while the control group attended only the standard pregnancy class. Each group was further divided into subgroups: anemic pregnant women, normal pregnant women, and overweight pregnant women. Demographic data were obtained through a basic questionnaire, while pre-pregnancy BMI data, obstetric history, and pregnancy examinations were sourced from the KIA book. Serum hepcidin levels significantly decreased in pregnant women who participated in prenatal yoga exercises (p=0.002), with the highest significance observed in overweight pregnant women (p=0.001). The average serum ferritin levels increased in all groups but were not statistically significant (p=0.759). Regular prenatal yoga exercises can reduce serum hepcidin levels in pregnant women, with a significant reduction noted in overweight pregnant women. Ferritin levels might be influenced by iron supplementation.

(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Mohamed, Eman K.; El-Talawy, Hoda A.; Abdelazeim, Faten H.; Ali Elshafey, Mohamed
Children with hemiparesis experience poor balance due to a combination of underdeveloped neural motor control mechanisms and secondary musculoskeletal issues, which lead to atypical body posture. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the impact of mental practice (MP) training on balance and trunk endurance in children with hemiparesis. Forty hemiparetic children (16 boys and 24 girls), aged 7 to 10 years, were randomly assigned to two groups of equal size (20 children per group): control group (Group A) and study group (Group B). The study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Pediatric Physical Therapy Department at Mansoura International Hospital and Mansoura Specialized Hospital. Participants were assessed for balance and trunk muscle endurance at baseline and after 3 months of intervention using the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration of Balance (mCTSIB) and trunk endurance tests, respectively. Both groups received the same selected physical therapy program, with Group B additionally receiving MP training three times per week for three months. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (version 28) was used to conduct all of the statistical analyses. Significant differences were observed between the two groups post-treatment regarding mCTSIB scores and trunk endurance tests, favoring the study group (p < 0.05). MP training emerges as a promising intervention to enhance balance and trunk endurance in children with hemiparesis. Healthcare professionals and therapists working with these children should consider integrating the MP program as a valuable component of their therapeutic strategies.

Women's bodies undergo numerous changes throughout the post-menopausal period, many of which result in uncomfortable symptoms, including skeletal problems such as low back pain (LBP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Bioptron Light Therapy (BLT) on post-menopausal LBP in women. This study employed a pretest-posttest randomized experimental trial design. Forty post-menopausal women with LBP, aged 50 to 60 years, were randomized into two groups (study and control group). The control group (Group A, n=20) received abdominal and back isometric exercises only, whereas the study group (Group B, n=20) received BLT in addition to the same isometric exercises, three sessions per week for six weeks. Pain severity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) using a pressure algometer, and functional disability using the Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (MODQ) were measured for all patients in both groups before and after the treatment program. The Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) (version 19) was used for data analysis. Based on the results of our study, PPT significantly increased in both groups after treatment (p = 0.0001), with the study group showing a greater increase than the control group (p = 0.001). Pain intensity decreased significantly in both groups (p = 0.0001), with a statistically significant difference favoring the study group (p = 0.0001). MODQ scores also significantly decreased in both groups (p = 0.0001), again favoring the study group (p = 0.0001). BLT can be included as a valuable, effective, and non-invasive method for decreasing pain and improving function for women with post-menopausal LBP.

(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Mohamed Saleh, Amir; Mohamed Badaway, Hassan; Mahgoub Mostafa, Mohamed Serag Eldein; Hesham Abouelenein, Mohamed
The aim of this study was to investigate whether changing cranio-cervical postures is associated with changes in abdominal and back muscle activities during bridging and plank positions, and to present the importance of cranio-cervical posture control during trunk stabilization exercises. This was a cross-sectional study that included thirty patients (21 men and 9 women), aged between 18 and 30 years, with no history of previous spinal surgery, other severe musculoskeletal disorders, or neurological disorders, selected from Cairo University's Faculty of Physical Therapy. Every patient was requested to adopt a bridging and a plank position. Surface Electromyography (EMG) was used to assess muscular activation patterns by measuring muscle activity amplitudes. EMG signals of rectus abdominus and lumbar erector spinae in different cranio-cervical postures (extension 25°, neutral, and flexion 25°) were compared. The cranio-cervical posture was controlled utilizing a cervical range of motion device (CROM). Cranio-cervical posture was found to significantly influence trunk muscle activities (p=0.001), with cranio-cervical flexion yielding the highest activity in the rectus abdominus in both bridging (p=0.001) and plank positions (p=0.001), while cranio-cervical extension yielded the highest activity in the lumbar erector spinae in both bridging (p=0.001) and plank positions (p=0.017). Cranio-cervical flexion increased rectus abdominus muscle activity during the bridging and plank positions, while cranio-cervical extension improved lumbar erector spinae muscle activity during the bridging and plank positions. Consideration of cranio-cervical posture is suggested when carrying out trunk stabilization exercises.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Pilates exercise versus yoga on primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial and was conducted with adolescent girls at an experimental school in Cairo. Sixty adolescent girls, aged 12 to 16 years, who were all diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea, participated in this study. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group (A) (Pilates exercise) with 30 participants, and Group (B) (Yoga exercise) with 30 participants. Participants were assessed before and after the treatment period. Group (A) performed Pilates exercises for 30 minutes, three days per week, for three months, while Group (B) engaged in yoga exercises for 30 minutes, three days per week, for three months. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to rate the intensity of pain, and the Verbal Multidimensional Scoring System (VMS) was used to assess the severity of menstrual symptoms. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study revealed a statistically significant improvement in VAS and VMS measures following Pilates exercise in Group A (p < 0.05). Similarly, a statistically significant improvement in VAS and VMS measures was observed following yoga exercise in Group B (p < 0.05). Both Pilates and yoga exercises demonstrated a significant impact on managing primary dysmenorrhea. The findings indicate that these mind-body interventions are effective in alleviating the severity of menstrual pain and related symptoms.

(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Nagy, Ahmed Mohamed; Elsayeh, Shaimaa Mohamed Ahmed; Bayoumi, Mohamed Bayoumi Ibrahim; Metawee, Shimaa Mohamed; Ahmed, Omnia Saeed Mahmoud; Saafan, Karim Ibrahim
Many studies have demonstrated the effect of pulsed electromagnetic therapy (PEMT) on wound healing. This study aimed to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to assess PEMT's efficacy in burn healing, potentially enhancing treatment decisions and outcomes. It was a one-group intervention study with 46 patients (21 males, 25 females) aged 20 to 55 years, having partial-thickness burns in the first or second healing stage, and a total burned surface area (TBSA) over 15%. The intervention involved pulsed electromagnetic therapy (Fisioline, Italy) for up to six weeks, with 60-minute sessions at 12 Hz and 12 Gauss, three times per week. The statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS. The study revealed a significant decline in wound surface area (WSA) post-intervention (p < 0.05). A significant negative relationship was found between wound improvement and both age and total body surface area (TBSA) (p < 0.05), while a significant positive relationship was observed between wound improvement and initial wound size (p < 0.05). No significant relationship was found between wound improvement and wound stage (p > 0.05). The study concluded that pulsed electromagnetic therapy significantly reduces wound surface area. Additionally, age, TBSA, and initial burn wound size are important predictors of the therapy's efficacy in treating burn wounds.
