High-level performance in mountain sports would be unlikely unless different emotional factors are taken into account through the analysis of psychological characteristics, such as mood, resilience, or motivation, among many other variables. In this study, 788 people with a sports degree from the Spanish Federation of Mountain Sports and Climbing (FEDME) participated, 75.3% of whom were men and 24.5% of whom were women. The mean age of the participants was 49.8 years (±12.8), ranging from 18 to 76 years. The Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-S), the RS-14 Resilience Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) instruments were used. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between the dimensions of emotional intelligence, resilience, and life satisfaction. The results showed a relationship between several of the dimensions from the instruments used (p < 0.01). In terms of gender, higher scores were found for women than for men. The regression model shows that both the dimensions of emotional intelligence [appraisal of own emotions (β = 0.104; p < 0.001); use of emotions (β = 0.30; p < 0.001); emotional regulation (β = 0.103; p < 0.001)] and resilience [personal competence (β = 0.402; p < 0.001)] are predictors of greater life satisfaction, positively explained by the regression model with 44.1% accuracy. Further proposals should extend the results obtained to the analysis of more sports modalities to provide evidence that would complement those extracted in this research.
Los estereotipos de género aún se pueden palpar en el medio natural, pues siguen existiendo determinantes culturales, de tipo sexista, que influyen a la hora de practicar actividades físicas en la naturaleza. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el perfil de los practicantes de actividades en el medio natural, las características y los hábitos de práctica identificando las posibles diferencias de género existentes. La metodología empleada ha consistido en la realización de una encuesta mediante la distribución del cuestionario “Análisis del perfil de los usuarios-visitantes del medio natural” a una muestra aleatoria de practicantes en la Comunidad de Madrid (n=156; 38,5% mujeres y 61,5% hombres). Los resultados mostraron como la proporción de varones que declararon practicar modalidades de carácter más comprometido fue superior a la de las mujeres. Sin embargo, no se reflejaron diferencias significativas en relación al motivo de práctica. En base a los resultados, se puede concluir que la proporción de mujeres en el ámbito de las actividades en el medio natural aún sigue siendo menor y que es existen diversas diferencias significativas entre el colectivo masculino y el femenino en lo relativo al perfil y a los hábitos de los practicantes de este tipo de actividades.Gender stereotypes can still be felt in outdoor activities, as there are still cultural determinants of a sexist nature that influence the practice of physical activities in nature. This study aims to analyse the profile of practitioners of outdoor activities, the characteristics and habits of practice identifying possible gender differences. The methodology used consisted of carrying out a survey through the distribution of the questionnaire “Análisis del perfil de los usuarios-visitantes del medio natural” to a random sample of practitioners of activities in the natural environment in the Community of Madrid (n=156; 38.5% women and 61.5% men). The results showed that the proportion of men who reported practicing more committed modalities was higher than that of women. However, there were no significant differences in the reason for practice. Once the results have been analysed, it can be concluded that the proportion of women in the field of outdoor activities is still lower and that it is possible to establish that there are several significant differences between the male and female groups with regard to the profile and habits of the practitioners of this type of activities.
OBJECTIVE: The current standard for hospital glucose management is point-of-care (POC) testing. We conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing real-time CGM (RT-CGM) to POC in a non-ICU hospital setting. <p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: <i>N</i>=110 adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on a non-ICU floor received RT-CGM with Dexcom G6 vs usual care (UC). RT-CGM data were wirelessly transmitted from the bedside. Hospital telemetry monitored RT-CGM data and notified bedside nursing of glucose alerts and trends. Standardized protocols were used for interventions.</p> <p>RESULTS: The RT-CGM group demonstrated significantly lower mean glucose (M∆= -18.5 mg/dL) and percentage of time in hyperglycemia >250 mg/dL (-11.41%), and higher median TIR 70-250 mg/dL (+11.26%) compared with UC (<i>p</i>s<0.05). Percentage of time in hypoglycemia was very low. </p> <p>CONCLUSION: RT-CGM can be used successfully in community-based hospital non-ICU settings to improve glucose management; continuously streaming glucose readings may truly be the 5<sup>th</sup> vital sign.</p>
In recent decades, the exponential growth that sports practice in mountain and climbing disciplines have experienced has led to trying to find an explanation for the predisposition of those socio-emotional factors of these athletes that are considered in the search for sensations and the achievement of greater satisfaction with life. In this study, 4818 people with a sports license in the Spanish Federation of Mountain and Climbing Sports (FEDME) participated; 67.1% were men and 32.9% women. The mean age of the participants was 49.42 years (±11.9), between a range of 18 to 76 years. The following instruments were used: the Self-concept scale (AF5), the Rosenberg Self-esteem Questionnaire and the Life satisfaction scale (SWLS). The objective of this research was to study the enhancing effect of self-esteem between self-concept (physical, emotional and social) and life satisfaction. A reflective model of structural equations (PLS-SEM) was applied based on the proposed theoretical framework from an explanatory–predictive perspective. The results show the self-esteem determination coefficients [(Q2 = 0.141); (R2 = 0.302)] and life satisfaction [(Q2 = 0.243); (R2 = 0.342)] in the estimation of the model, indicating an adequate fit. Mountaineering and climbing sports can be very rewarding, but they can also be challenging and frustrating. Having a good self-concept and good self-esteem allows the athlete to enjoy achieving greater life satisfaction.
ResumenLos procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje se pueden desarrollar en contextos diversos y con metodologías educativas diferentes, pero no todas ellas, ni todos los espacios, tienen el mismo potencial para conseguir que los estudiantes adquieran los conocimientos tratados ni para lograr un desarrollo de todas sus capacidades (físicas, cognitivas, psicológicas). Esta es la base desde la que surge el siguiente estudio. El objetivo principal es comparar los beneficios que se producen en los estudiantes en relación a los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y a su desarrollo integral, en función del aula y de la metodología educativa empleada. Para ello, se han pasado dos cuestionarios, uno después de las sesiones en aula y otro después de las sesiones prácticas en el medio natural, a un grupo de 124 estudiantes de la asignatura de Actividades en el Medio Natural, de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte-INEF de Madrid. A la vista de los resultados, destacan el 17,05% de diferencia entre la adquisición de aprendizajes tras las sesiones en la naturaleza en comparación con las sesiones en aula. Se concluye que las actividades en el medio natural, llevadas a cabo con una metodología experiencial, suponen mayores beneficios en cuanto al grado de conocimientos adquiridos y en cuanto al desarrollo de competencias sociales y personales de los participantes.AbstractThe teaching-learning processes can be developed in diverse contexts and with different educational methodologies. But not all of them, and not all the spaces, have the same potential to achieve that the students acquire the treated knowledge or to achieve a development of all their skills (physical, cognitive, psychological). This is the basis from which the following study arises. The main objective is to compare the benefits produced in students in relation to the teaching-learning processes and their integral development, depending on the classroom and on the educational methodology used. For this purpose, two questionnaires were given, one after the classroom sessions and the other after the practical sessions in the natural environment, to a group of 124 students of the subject of Activities in the Natural Environment, of the Faculty of Sciences of Physical Activity and Sports-INEF of Madrid. The results highlight the 17.05% difference between learning acquisition after sessions in nature compared to classroom sessions. It is concluded that activities in the natural environment, carried out with an experiential methodology, represent greater benefits in terms of the degree of knowledge acquired and in terms of the development of social and personal skills of the participants.
