Body Composition in Children and Adolescents Residing in Southern Europe: Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity According to Different International References

Frontiers in Physiology (2019)

Guillermo Felipe López Sánchez Maurizio Sgroi S D’Ottavio Arturo Díaz Suárez Sixto González‐Víllora

The objective was to analyze body composition in children and adolescents of Southern Europe to identify prevalence of overweight and obesity. This investigation involved 512 girls and 488 boys between 7-to 19-years. Variables evaluated were Body Mass Index (BMI) and Fat Mass (FM; electrical bioimpedance). The references used to establish prevalence according to BMI were those of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF); in the case of FM, the Child Growth Foundation (CGF) reference was used. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the prevalence of overweight and obesity between the three classifications (32.3% according to IOTF, 37.3% according to WHO, and 39.8% according to CGF), being higher in males. WHO-IOTF concordance was substantial (kappa = 0.793), whereas concordances WHO-CGF (kappa = 0.504) and IOTF-CGF (kappa = 0.447) were moderate. The authors recommend evaluating overweight and obesity not only with BMI, but also with FM, and always specify the references used.

Levels of Physical Activity in Spanish Asthmatics: A Cross-Sectional Study

Medicina (2020)

Sheila Sánchez Castillo Lee Smith Arturo Díaz Suárez Guillermo Felipe López Sánchez

Background and objectives: 339 million people in the world suffer from asthma. Regular physical activity (PA) could help in its control. Therefore, the aim of this research was to determine the level of PA in Spanish people with asthma considering variation by, age, sex, education, marital status, living together, smoking habits, alcohol intake and body mass index (BMI). Materials and Methods: 1014 Spanish people from 15 to 69 years were included in the study. Data of the Spanish Health Survey (year 2017) were analysed. PA levels were measure with the international physical activity questionnaire short version (IPAQ-SF). PA was categorized as low, moderate and high, and analyzed by sample characteristics. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskall Wallis H and crosstabs were used to calculate statistical significance (p < 0.05). Results: On average, Spanish asthmatics engaged in a weekly volume of 2228.9 metabolic equivalent of task (MET)·min/week. Males revealed significantly higher PA than females (2516.8 vs. 2019.5 MET·min/week; p = 0.005), younger participants (<30 years) compared to people aged 30–60 years and older than 60 years (2699.0; 2243.2; 1619.3 MET·min/week; p < 0.001) and those with tertiary level of education than those without secondary (2368.3 vs. 2168.3 MET·min/week; p = 0.001). Level of PA was lower in those married (p = 0.001) and/or living together (p = 0.010). Alcohol consumers showed a higher level than the participants who did not drink (2378.3 vs. 1907.9 MET·min/week; p = 0.001), but no significant differences were found within current, past and never smokers (p = 0.890). Obese asthmatics engaged in less PA than their normal weight and overweight peers (p < 0.001). Overall, moderate level was significantly the most frequent (47.7%), but 31.6% showed a low level. Conclusions: Three out of ten Spanish people with asthma do not achieve PA recommendations, so PA programs should be executed to make people aware of its benefits in asthma control, focusing on those groups with lower PA levels.

"Physical education classroom management instrument": adaptación transcultural

Arturo Díaz Suárez Rocío Esteban Luís

The main objective of the research related to school discipline has been searching and testing of different intervention strategies to combat the misbehavior of students, and as a starting point, collect a range of misbehaviors that disturb the class enviroment to develop guidelines for action to control it. There are several specific instrument to investigate disciplinary problems, and its emphasize different aspects of the disciplinary incident. Within these, we must note that developed by Kulinna, and Recualos Cothran (2003), Physical Education Classroom Management Instrument includes and evaluates all the types of misbehaviors in the area of physical education. This instrument also provides situations that are specific in PE clases, and taking into account also the perception of students and teachers. The instrument developed and empirical research carried by these authors, is eligible to carry out their adaptation to the Spanish context, and to develop a instrument to the perception of families around these issues . Through this questionnaire can solve one of the first questions that arises when dealing with conflicts that arise in physical education classes: what inappropriate behavior is detected in the sessions, and how often are perceived from the point of view of different groups, as a first step towards responding in an appropriate and consistent with this type of behavior. This communication addresses cultural adaptation of this questionnaire to the Spanish context and the creation of a version for family members as recommended by the Carretero-Dios and Perez (2007), being specified in the procedures described

Motivations and Future Intentions in Sport Event Volunteering: A Systematic Review

Sustainability (2021)

Salvador Angosto Sánchez Hyejin Bang Gonzalo A. Bravo Arturo Díaz Suárez José María López Gullón

Understanding the future intentions of individuals who are part of a sport organization is a critical step for the success and the accomplishment of the goals of such organizations, particularly for sporting events that highly depend on the work of volunteers. Therefore, it is important to determine which factors motivate an individual to volunteer, as well as the intentions volunteers have to continue volunteering for sporting events or other similar organizations. This study conducted a systematic review of literature on studies that have examined the motivation and future intentions of volunteering in sporting events. The PRISMA methodology was used to develop this review. It included 30 studies from 2007 to 2020, and all the studies examined these two constructs using different types of quantitative methodologies. Moreover, most of these studies were conducted by scholars in the United States and Australia, and the VMS-ISE was the most used instrument for collecting data. Many of the studies did not include a theoretical framework relating motivation and future intentions to other constructs. The results of this systematic review provide new insights regarding the state of studies that have examined future intentions related to volunteering in sporting events, particularly regarding how to plan future investigations of volunteers’ motivation and future intention in the context of sporting events.

espanolIntroduccion: Los cambios que se producen en la adolescencia y la juventud influyen de manera importante en el desarrollo de la persona, moldeandola asi para su etapa adulta. Estos cambios se pueden dar de forma biologica y psicologica. Objetivos: El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar los niveles de condicion fisica y la imagen corporal de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte de la UMU. Metodos: Se evaluo la frecuencia cardiaca y tension arterial, la fuerza, los saltos SJ, CMJ y ABKJ, el sprint en distancias de 10, 20 y 30 m, el test de ida y vuelta (150 m) y Course Navette. Resultados y discusion: Los resultados mostraron que los sujetos que estaban insatisfechos con su cuerpo (deseo de ser mas delgado) tuvieron valores significativamente menos saludables de condicion fisica (salto, velocidad y resistencia). Conclusion: En funcion del sexo se observo que existian diferencias significativas entre sexos en todas las variables a favor del sexo masculino. Respecto a la relacion entre condicion fisica e imagen corporal, se ha comprobado que aquellos alumnos que creen que deben adelgazar son los que han mostrado peores valores de condicion fisica. EnglishIntroduction: The changes that occur in adolescence and youth influence significantly in the development of the person, shaping themselves for their adult stage.

MHSALUD Revista en Ciencias del Movimiento Humano y Salud (2016)

Guillermo Felipe López Sánchez Md. Dilsad Ahmed Francisco José Borrego Balsalobre Laura López Sánchez Arturo Díaz Suárez

El nivel de actividad física de las personas es un tema prioritario a escala internacional. Sobre este tema, el objetivo del presente artículo fue analizar y comparar el nivel de actividad física habitual de escolares de 8-9 años de la región de Murcia, España y el Distrito de Karbi Anglong, Assam en India. Para ello, se administró el cuestionario PACE (Physician-based Assessment and Counseling for Exercise) a un total de 85 escolares (44 de España y 41 de India). Los resultados evidenciaron que la muestra estudiada no realiza suficiente actividad física, según las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, ya que realizan al menos 60 minutos de actividad física; una media de 3.13 días/semana (DE=1.91). Los escolares de 8 años son ligeramente más activos que los de 9 años en ambos países; los niños realizan más actividad física que las niñas en ambos países; los escolares de India realizan más actividad física que los de España. Por tanto, se concluye que el nivel de actividad física es insuficiente, disminuye ligeramente con la edad y es mayor en India.

Can performance indicators and skydiving experience prognosticate competitive state anxiety in elite paratroopers?

Journal of Human Sport and Exercise (2024)

Francisco José Borrego Balsalobre Francisco José Ortín Montero Félix Zurita Ortega Arturo Díaz Suárez Vicente Morales Baños

Competition has characteristics that position sport as a fruitful field for the study of human affective processes of interest for psychology, such as anxiety, especially in disciplines such as military parachuting due to its uniqueness.This study aimed to analyse the validity of the Spanish version of the CSAI-2R inventory through a reliable model and to determine the interrelation, both among themselves and with anxiety, of certain specific technical variables related to sports performance in parachuting.The questionnaire was supplied to 42 jumpers in the Spanish National Military Championship.The results indicate that a reliable model has been established, but it is necessary to realise a multivariate relationship between components of competitive anxiety and specific variables of military skydiver's sporting experience in competition.It would be appropriate to reflect on what other psychological and technical variables may influence the sporting performance achieved, because it is a modality that has very particular conditions compared to the rest, not only because of the space, environment and form where and how the activity itself is carried out but also because of the context in which it is framed, as a result of the peculiarities that define the group to which the competitors belong.

Leadership Style in Amateur Club Sports: A Key Element in Strategic Management

Sustainability (2021)

Alfonso Martínez-Moreno Francisco Cavas-García Arturo Díaz Suárez

Leadership is key in sports management, as it allows organizations to endure over time. Leadership style determines how an organization or sports club works. The purpose of this study is to investigate employees’ perceptions of the leadership style of presidents (managers) in amateur clubs and how it influences the effort, efficiency and satisfaction of those employees. The sample consists of club managers (N = 334), of whom 286 are men and 48 are women, with an average age of 42.05 (±9.64). The subordinate version of the Multifactorial Leadership Questionnaire is used, and it is found that club presidents mostly use the transformational style, regardless of sports discipline. A descriptive analysis of the qualitative variables consists of absolute and relative frequencies. ANOVA is used for comparisons between groups, and forward multiple regression is used to determine the effects of different variables. There are significant differences between the managers of collective and individual sports clubs in terms of efficiency (p = 0.014) and satisfaction (p = 0.04). Leadership style had significant effects on effort, effectiveness and satisfaction, while the genre and type of sport did not, corroborating the positive predictive power of the transformational and transactional styles. Transformational and transactional leadership styles positively and statistically significantly predict the extra effort of subordinates, the perceived effectiveness of leadership and satisfaction with the leader. Leadership training brings advantages in the stability and sustainability of sports clubs.
