| The aim of our study was to compare the satisfaction and motivation for the practice of exercise, flexibility and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in healthy participants after exercises in two types of the Pilates method. For this, 50 healthy participants performed a session of exercises of modern Pilates and other of unstable Pilates. We evaluated the outcomes for satisfaction and motivation after sessions, posterior flexibility of the torso and lower extremities (sit-and-reach box) before and after each session, and DOMS 24, 48 and 72 hours after each session (Numeric Pain Rating Scale). Results showed no statistically significant difference between both types of Pilates for satisfaction and motivation, flexibility and DOMS 72 hours after the session (p>0.05).Regarding the DOMS we observed statistically significant difference between the two types 24 hours (difference between the means: -0.7; 95%CI: -1.5 to 0.0) and 48 hours (difference between means: -0.8; 95%CI: -1.4 to -0.2) after the session, with greater pain in unstable Pilates. As a conclusion, both categories of Pilates showed the same level of satisfaction and motivation and similar flexibility gain. However, unstablePilates caused more DOMS after 24 and 48 hours, but this difference was not clinically relevant.

Calonge Pascual S, Casajús Mallén JA, González-Gross M. La actividad física en el currículo universitario español de los grados de Medicina y Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte como recurso en la prevención y tratamiento de las enfermedades crónicas. ResumenIntroducción: la evidencia científi ca ha acreditado los benefi cios que posee la actividad física sobre la salud. El objetivo de esta revisión fue analizar la formación curricular de los estudiantes de Medicina y de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte (CAFYD) en las universidades españolas, en relación a la prevención y el tratamiento de enfermedades crónicas a través de la actividad y el ejercicio físico. Material y métodos: de manera sistemática, se han revisado los planes de estudio de todas las universidades españolas que tienen capacidad legal para impartir de forma presencial los grados de Medicina y CAFYD, contabilizando el promedio de créditos ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) totales, obligatorios y optativos de las asignaturas que abordan la promoción, la prevención y el tratamiento de las enfermedades crónicas a través del ejercicio físico, excluyendo practicum y trabajos fi n de grado (TGF). Resultados: el grado de Medicina dedica un promedio del 3,62% (2,38% y 1,20% créditos obligatorios y optativos, respectivamente) (360 ECTS) y el grado de CAFYD un 17,78% (9,87% y 7,92%) (240 ECTS) a contenidos relacionados con la actividad física como herramienta en la prevención y tratamiento de las enfermedades crónicas no trasmisibles. El rango va de 36 a 4,5 ECTS en Medicina y de 48 a 28 ECTS en CAFYD. Conclusión: se observa cierta disparidad entre los planes de estudio de las universidades españolas para los dos grados. Los créditos ECTS relacionados con actividad física y salud resultan escasos en el currículo de ambos grados, especialmente en Medicina. Los resultados indican la necesidad de aumentar estos contenidos en los estudios de grado y/o incluirlos en programas de postgrado. Key words:Physical fi tness. Teaching. Preventive medicine. Training. Chronic illness. Health education. AbstractIntroduction: Currently, there is scientifi c evidence about the benefi ts of physical exercise over human health. The aim of this study was to review the curricula of Medicine and Sport Sciences at Spanish universities, specifi cally regarding the contents related to physical exercise in the promotion, prevention and treatment of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). Material and methods: In a systematic way, all syllabus, programs and contents of the different subjects were reviewed for all Spanish universities which offer the Bachelors of Medicine and Sport Sciences. Total, compulsory and optional European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) were analyzed and added for each university. Practicum and Bachelor thesis were not considered. Results: In the mean, Medicine studies dedicate 3.62% (2.38% mandatory and 1.20% optional) of the total 360 ECTS to these contents. In Sport Sciences studies, of the total 240 ECTS, 17.78% (9.87% mandator...
