The present research aimed to study the psycho-motor performance of five-year-old children with different body mass indices (BMI). A total of 694 pre-school children in the province of Albacete-Spain participated. Their performance in motor, perceptual, and social-emotional skills was analyzed using a standardized observation sheet (Checklist of Psychomotor Activities—CPA) and then compared according to their BMI using non-parametric statistical methods (Mann-Whitney test). Separate comparisons were made for girls and boys. Results indicated significant differences in performance amongst the groups of girls in all the motor and perceptual activities, and in the social relationships component of the social-emotional factor. These differences seemed to penalize motor activities, perceptual skills, and social relationships in overweight and obese girls compared to normal weight girls. In the case of boys, there were significant differences in laterality and visual-motor coordination (favoring overweight boys). Differences in respiratory control were also found, but in this case, penalizing obese boys compared to normal weight boys. Knowledge of possible psychomotor limitations in obese children could allow psychologists and healthcare professionals to design more focused interventions.

Código UNESCO / UNESCO RESUMENEste estudio analiza la eficacia de un programa de entrenamiento perceptivo basado en la orientación de la atención para la mejora de la toma de decisiones y el rendimiento en la acción de bloqueo de voleibol. 16 jugadoras juveniles fueron distribuidas en tres grupos: vídeo (n=6), que recibió ocho sesiones de entrenamiento en vídeo; mixto (n=5), que recibió 4 sesiones en vídeo y 4 sesiones de práctica en campo; y control (n=5), que completó las pruebas de evaluación. Los resultados muestran cómo el programa de entrenamiento mejoró la toma de decisiones de las jugadoras, ya que redujeron
An anaphylactic shock is a time-critical emergency situation. The decision-making during emergencies is an important responsibility but difficult to study. Eye-tracking technology allows us to identify visual patterns involved in the decision-making. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate two training models for the recognition and treatment of anaphylaxis by laypeople, based on expert assessment and eye-tracking technology. A cross-sectional quasi-experimental simulation study was made to evaluate the identification and treatment of anaphylaxis. 50 subjects were randomly assigned to four groups: three groups watching different training videos with content supervised by sanitary personnel and one control group who received face-to-face training during paediatric practice. To evaluate the learning, a simulation scenario represented by an anaphylaxis' victim was designed. A device capturing eye movement as well as expert valuation was used to evaluate the performance. The subjects that underwent paediatric face-to-face training achieved better and faster recognition of the anaphylaxis. They also used the adrenaline injector with better precision and less mistakes, and they needed a smaller number of visual fixations to recognise the anaphylaxis and to make the decision to inject epinephrine. Analysing the different video formats, mixed results were obtained. Therefore, they should be tested to evaluate their usability before implementation.
Explorando el efecto del contacto y el deporte inclusivo en Educación Física en las actitudes hacia la discapacidad intelectual en estudiantes de secundariaLos programas de cambio de actitudes hacia la discapacidad han venido utilizando, entre otros, la práctica de deporte inclusivo y el contacto con personas del colectivo de referencia. A pesar de su presencia en la sociedad, apenas existen trabajos en los que se emplee el contacto con personas con discapacidad intelectual como medio para cambiar las actitudes hacia la discapacidad. Este trabajo examina el efecto de un programa que utiliza el deporte inclusivo y el contacto con personas con discapacidad intelectual en las actitudes hacia la discapacidad de estudiantes de Secundaria durante las clases de Educación Física. Ochenta y tres estudiantes de ESO de dos centros de Castilla -La Mancha (15,18 ± 0,89 años) formaron parte de este estudio. Las actitudes de los alumnos, antes y después de la intervención, se registraron mediante los cuestionarios "The Attitudes towards Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Physical Education" (AISDPE) y la "Escala de Actitud hacia el Alumnado con Discapacidad en Educación Física" (EAADEF). Los resultados muestran que el grupo que realizó deporte inclusivo y una visita a las instalaciones de trabajo de las personas con discapacidad intelectual mejoró en la dimensión cognitiva (Pre-test 2,84±0,64; Post-test: 2,67±0,81) de uno de los dos cuestionarios de actitudes hacia la discapacidad en Educación Física utilizados. Parece que un contacto más cercano, compartiendo experiencias y deporte con personas con discapacidad puede mejorar las actitudes hacia la discapacidad en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria.Palabras clave: inclusión; actitudes, discapacidad intelectual; educación física.Programs to change attitudes towards disability have been used the practice of inclusive sport and contact with people with disabilities. Despite their presence in society, there are hardly any jobs in which contact with people with intellectual disabilities is used as a means to change attitudes toward disability. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a Physical Education program using inclusive sport and contact with people with intellectual disabilities on the attitudes of secondary school students towards disability. Eighty-three (N = 83) Compulsory Secondary Education students from two centers in Castilla -La Mancha (15.18 ± 0.89 years) were part of this study. The students' attitudes, before and after the intervention, were captured through the questionnaires "The Attitudes towards Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Physical Education" (AISDPE) and the "Attitude Scale for Students with Disability in Physical Education" (EAADEF). The results show that the group that carried out an inclusive sport and a visit to the workplaces of people with intellectual disabilities improves the cognitive dimension (Pre-test 2.84±0.64; Post-test: 2.67±0.81) in one of the two questionnaires of attitudes toward Physical Education disabilit...
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.
