This study explores the effects of the shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT) on teachers’ levels of well-being, emotions, and motivation. A total of 936 Spanish teachers participated in this nationwide survey from all educational levels, thus allowing comparison among levels, which is a novelty and strength of our study. Four aspects were explored: (1) instructional adaptation to ERT; (2) well-being changes and the main challenges in this regard; (3) changes in emotions; and (4) changes in motivation and the main factors. Importantly, we explored a number of teacher characteristics (e.g., gender, age) for the three last aspects. Our results show that teachers felt the impact of ERT on their well-being, emotions, and motivation. Additionally, female teachers, teachers with students of low socioeconomic status (SES), in public schools, and primary and secondary teachers were the most affected groups. This indicates that the impact of ERT differed and some populations of teachers are more at risk of suffering burnout because of ERT.
Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) is a relatively new physical activity, which involves paddling with a single- blade paddle while standing on a surf-like board. Although its practice has increased in recent years, there has not been much research into this sport. The aim of this review is to analyse the research carried out so far in SUP, for which purpose the following databases have been consulted: PUBMED/MEDLINE, Web of Science (WOS), Cochrane library, Google scholar and Scopus, using the following search phrase base (Stand up paddle [Title/Abstract]) OR (Stand-up paddle [Title/Abstract]). 182 articles in total were obtained and after applying the PRISMA method, 36 articles were included, divided into 5 groups: physiology, biomechanics, injury, education and others. Existing literature shows the great potential of this activity in improving health-related parameters such as cardiovascular system or balance, as well as describing a balanced mesomorph somatotype and a good cardiovascular level in elite paddlers. On the other hand, a higher injury rate has been recorded in shoulders, lower back and elbows in SUP race participants and in the lower body in the case of SUP surfing, with strength training being the training variable that is most closely linked to injury prevention. This review demonstrates that SUP is an activity with great potential for application in education, as well as health improvement. Resumen: El Stand Up Paddle (SUP) es una actividad física relativamente nueva, que implica remar con un remo de una sola hoja mientras se está de pie sobre una tabla similar a la del surf. Aunque su práctica ha aumentado en los últimos años, no hay mucha investigación sobre este deporte. El objetivo de esta revisión es analizar la investigación realizada hasta el momento. Se han consultado las siguientes bases de datos: PUBMED/MEDLINE, Web of Science (WOS), biblioteca Cochrane, Google Scholar y Scopus, utilizando la siguiente base de frases de búsqueda (Stand up paddle [Título / Resumen]) O (Stand-up paddle [Título /Resumen]). Se obtuvieron un total de 182 artículos y tras aplicar el método PRISMA se incluyeron un total de 36 artículos, divididos en 5 grupos: fisiología, biomecánica, lesión, educación y otros. La literatura existente muestra el gran potencial de esta actividad para la mejora de parámetros relacionados con la salud, como el sistema cardiovascular o el equilibrio, además de describir un somatotipo mesomorfo equilibrado y un buen nivel cardiovascular en palistas de élite. También se ha registrado una mayor tasa de lesiones en hombros, espalda baja y codos para los participantes de la carrera de SUP y en la parte inferior del cuerpo para el SUP surf, siendo el entrenamiento de fuerza la variable de entrenamiento con mayor relación con la prevención de lesiones. Esta revisión demuestra que el SUP es una actividad con gran potencial de aplicación en la educación, así como para la mejora de la salud.
Although horseback riding is not specifically mentioned in the recommendations for different age groups regarding the level of physical activity necessary for good health, its practice continues to grow in popularity throughout the world. Despite being a minority discipline, it has some characteristics that make it an opportunity for its participants to be active people, so it is important to understand what are the perceived health benefits and barriers to participation. The aim of the study is to describe and analyze the perceived health benefits and barriers in horseback riding among riders categorized by level and age, in order to promote physical activity through these benefits and to overcome the barriers. An online version of the EBBS (Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale) was used to analyze benefits and barriers. The sample consisted of 2,651 participants (95.9% women and 4.1% men) in an equestrian event, distributed in four age groups (79.4% up to 25 years, 11.5% between 26 and 35, 7.9% between 36 and 50, and 1.2 older than 50 years). Perceived benefits and participation barriers to horseback riding were analyzed. The factor analysis identified and confirmed five benefit factors and four barrier factors. Benefit factors were significantly correlated among them but barriers were less interrelated. Higher ages were associated to larger benefits and less barrier effects. Benefit and barrier differences were larger between amateur and professional riders, compared to gender differences.
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.
