Merino R, Fernández E, Iglesias P, Mayorga D. The effect of Kinesio taping on calf's injuries prevention in triathletes during competition. Pilot experience. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 305-308, 2011. The aim of the study was to evaluate the subjective perception of the local pain after the competition in triathletes. Before start the warm up the kinesio tape was applied in both legs through "I" technique. After the race triathletes were evaluated about perceived pain and soreness on gastrocnemius and soleos muscle by Borg's scale CR10. During the different competitions in which it was proved, none of the sportsmen suffered contractures or cramps in the musculature of the calves, and according to the scale CR10 the perceived pain was zero or not more than 2. Based on these experimental tests and properties of the kinesio tape, it is possible to recommend its use for triathletes and duathletes for injuries prevention and to avoid contractures or cramps during the competition.
Our goal in this paper is to analyse the impact of the implementation of M-Learning methodology on the motivation and assimilation of academic contents. A total of 283 university students participated in our study. They were assessed on two different occasions. For the assessment, a 10-question multiple-answer test set up in the Socrative mobile applications was used. To take into consideration the students’ opinion on the experiment a satisfaction survey was used. The results from the global satisfaction survey show that the M-Learning methodology is perceived as a motivating tool (74.6%) which generates a more pleasant environment in the classroom (71%), increases student satisfaction attending classes (80.5%) and helps students acquire learning contents better (72.5%). The repetition and frequency of use of the application increased the final score in all groups (initial-final assessment: 5.9 vs 7.4 points). Data obtained suggest that the M-Learning methodology as a facilitator of content assimilation is useful in the academic environment and is a useful tool for improving the teaching-learning process too.

El objeto de este artículo fue mostrar el excesivo entramado terminológico relacionado con el entrenamiento del umbral anaeróbico (UAN). Faude, Kindermann y Meyer (2009) encontraron 25 acepciones diferentes sobre el termino umbral. A pesar de ello, se dan unas pautas didácticas sobre diversos aspectos relacionados con su entrenamiento (pruebas de esfuerzo, frecuencia cardiaca, factores de rendimiento, planificación…). Se describe como entrenan el UAN los mejores fondistas del mundo, como lo distribuyen en zonas de entreno o, en qué parte de la temporada lo aplican en función de los modelos de planificación más habituales. En general, los fondistas de máximo nivel lo aplican de forma polarizada y en poca cantidad respecto al volumen total del año y a otras zonas de entrenamiento.Abstract. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the excessive terminological framework related with anaerobic threshold (ANt). Faude, Kindermann and Meyer (2009) found 25 different definitions about the term threshold. Despite this, it is possible to give didactic guidelines on various aspects related to their training (lab test, heart rate, factors of performance, scheduling). These guidelines show how the best athletes in the world train the ANt, how they distribute it in training zones, or in what part of the season they apply it according to the most usual planning models. In general, the top-level runners apply it in a polarized way, as well as in a small amount with respect to the total volume of the year and other training zones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
