“…In the last years, a novel modality of muscle contraction, iso-inertial (Tesch, Fernandez-Gonzalo, & Lundberg, 2017), is gaining more scientific interest for its potential applications. Muscle contraction is also the anatomical base on which an efficient and individualized training program can be developed (Jiménez-Reyes, Samozino, Brughelli, & Morin, 2017), also for people with disability (Spera et al, 2019) (Montesano, Tafuri, & Mazzeo, 2013), and this concept is still not clear for most people (Palermi et al, 2020).…”

The physiological mechanisms behind muscle contraction are a main concept in sport medicine and rehabilitation. The sarcomere is the functional unit of skeletal muscle and several proteins definite its complex structure. The most common theory to explain muscle contraction was proposed in the last 50's and has become widely popular and accepted: the "sliding filaments" theory. Even if this hypothesis was able to justify some form of muscle contraction, other processes are not fully described by it. Eccentric contraction and some phenomena, like the "force enhancement during stretch" concept described in the 2002, are not explicable according to the sliding filament theory. Therefore, several hypotheses have been suggested over the years, such as the "popping sarcomeres" theory and the "winding filament" theory. Some other proteins, like titin, have gained a main role in the physiology of the sarcomere and should be relevant to explain mechanisms of eccentric contraction, where the sarcomere generates highest level of tension while it is lengthening. The aim of this review is to summarize the physiological theories of muscle contraction and to define concepts applicable in sport medicine and in rehabilitation areas.

“…Following the guidelines for physical activity practice (more than 60 min a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity) may increase CRF levels, along with different benefits for physical and mental health, including a reduction in CMR, and symptoms of anxiety and depression [ 6 ]. However, it is clear that not all individuals are aware of these guidelines, and even then, many do not adhere to them [ 7 ] In addition, obesity plays a critical role in the development of metabolic disorders in childhood, which is a worrying scenario considering the high prevalence of overweight and obesity in paediatric population, and the inaccurate perception of parents concerning their children’s weight status [ 8 ].…”

Information regarding urban-rural differences in health indicators are scarce in Brazil. This study sought to identify rural-urban differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in Brazilian children and adolescents whilst controlling for the important confounding variables including social economic status (SES). This is a cross-sectional study developed with children and adolescents (n = 2250, age 11.54 ± 2.76) selected from a city in the south of Brazil. CRF was estimated using a 6-minute run/walk test. CMR scores were calculated by summing different cardiometabolic risk indicators. CRF was analysed assuming a multiplicative model with allometric body-size components. CMR differences in residential locations was assessed using Analysis of caovariance (ANCOVA) adopting SES, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), age and fitness as covariates. Results indicated a main effect of location (p < 0.001) with children living a rural environment having the highest CRF, and children living in the periphery of towns having the lowest. Analysis also revealed significant main effects of location (p < 0.001) with children living a rural environment having the lowest CMR and children living in the centre of towns having the highest. Therefore, Brazilian children living in a rural environment appear to have superior health benefits.

“…Conveying a model correctly is as important as learning it. In this way, there is some bridging of the gap that tends to exist between the theoretical evidence in the training guidelines of physical activity and its subsequent use in the actual classroom [ 14 ]. Different methodological concepts have emerged along these lines, which take up this type of approach and discourse in the area of physical education, producing proposals that aim to be an alternative to traditional ways of understanding and practising physical education [ 15 ].…”

The teaching of physical education today still incorporates innovative methodologies in order to create quality physical education. This article sets out to describe which pedagogical model is used in the initial training of physical education teachers at the University of Granada, from the perspective of the students. The study adopted an exploratory, descriptive and comparative research design, applying a survey to a sample of 303 physical education students. The students perceive that their teachers make use of different organising modalities, methodological strategies and assessment systems that favour the use of active methodologies. The structural equations model for analysing predictive relations between the three methodological components (organising modalities, methodological approaches and evaluation systems) was fitted correctly, obtaining positive relations between the three components. The model also showed positive and negative influences in the opinion of the students in the planning of the teaching–learning methodologies and some of the methodological components. The results indicate that the perception and opinion of the physical education students take on a special role in the development of student-centred methodologies.
