    Mejora de la autoestima y de la competencia emocional en adolescentes inmigrantes sudamericanos residentes en españa a través de un programa psicoeducativo de mindfulness (conciencia plena)
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2010-07-01) Soriano Ayala, Encarnación; Franco Justo, Clemente
    This paper analyses the impact of a mindfulness program on the level of self-esteem and emotional competence of a group of Latin American teenaged immigrants living in Spain. Two groups were involved in the study: an experimental group participated in the mindfulness program, and a control group, which did not take part in this program. The levels of self-esteem and emotional competence of both groups were assessed using the Rosenberg Self-esteem Questionnaire and the TMMS-24 Scale respectively. The statistical analyses showed a significant increase in the levels of self-esteem and emotional competence of the experimental group in comparison with the control group. The results of this study confirm the benefits of mindfulness techniques as useful and effective strategies to improve self-esteem and emotional competence. Also, they may be viewed as experimental evidence for integrating them in Education with the aim to improve the psychological and emotional well-being of young immigrants.

    Scaling equipment effect on technical–tactical actions in U-13 basketball players: a maturity study
    (MDPI, 2024-03-06) Alarcón López, Francisco; Torres Luque, Gema; Birrento Aguiar, Ricardo André; Ortega Toro, Enrique; Giménez Egido, José María; Actividad Física y Deporte
    The aim of this study was to analyse the performance of technical–tactical actions in two different types of tournaments and the influence of biological age on the performance of young basketball players. Thirty-seven under-13 male basketball players (age = 12.91 ± 0.57 years) were selected from four southeast Spanish teams to participate in two different tournaments on two consecutive days. The following technical–tactical variables were analysed: (a) Ball Obtained; (b) Ball Handler Player Actions; (c) Ball Handler Player Finished Actions; and (d) Ball Handler Shooting Performance. The results showed that reduced basket height and a closer three-point line promoted a higher number of balls obtained, 1 vs. 1 situations, finished ball player actions, shots, and the efficacy of offence phases. There was a significant increase in the number of balls obtained, 1 vs. 1 situations played, the number of plays finished with a lay-up or shot, number of received personal fouls, number of plays finished in 1 vs. 2, and those finished in equality and inferiority with a high defence opposition. The modified version presented a higher number of technical–tactical actions in Late Maturity players. The authors of this study believe that it is necessary to conduct more experimental studies and use bio-banding strategies in young basketball competitions.
