Projecte ATENC!Ó Results 2

The ATENC!Ó project reunited secondary school students, science education researchers and health scientists to create together a questionnaire including factors that students thought could affect attention in adolescents. This dataset contains the results of a cross-sectional study that was conducted to assess whether the factors included in the co-created questionnaire have an effect on attention in adolescents. Note: Due to some single patterns in terms of school, sex and year of birth, a total of 27 observations were removed from this dataset to prevent the identification of the individuals.

High Ambient Temperatures and Risk of Motor Vehicle Crashes in Catalonia, Spain (2000–2011): A Time-Series Analysis

Environmental Health Perspectives (2015)

Xavier Basagaña Juan Pablo Escalera-Antezana Payam Dadvand Òscar Llatje Jose Barrera‐Gómez

Experimental studies have shown a decrease in driving performance at high temperatures. The epidemiological evidence for the relationship between heat and motor vehicle crashes is not consistent.We estimated the impact of high ambient temperatures on the daily number of motor vehicle crashes and, in particular, on crashes involving driver performance factors (namely distractions, driver error, fatigue, or sleepiness).We performed a time-series analysis linking daily counts of motor vehicle crashes and daily temperature or occurrence of heat waves while controlling for temporal trends. All motor vehicle crashes with victims that occurred during the warm period of the years 2000-2011 in Catalonia (Spain) were included. Temperature data were obtained from 66 weather stations covering the region. Poisson regression models adjusted for precipitation, day of the week, month, year, and holiday periods were fitted to quantify the associations.The study included 118,489 motor vehicle crashes (an average of 64.1 per day). The estimated risk of crashes significantly increased by 2.9% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.7%, 5.1%] during heat wave days, and this association was stronger (7.7%, 95% CI: 1.2%, 14.6%) when restricted to crashes with driver performance-associated factors. The estimated risk of crashes with driver performance factors significantly increased by 1.1% (95% CI: 0.1%, 2.1%) for each 1 °C increase in maximum temperature.Motor vehicle crashes involving driver performance-associated factors were increased in association with heat waves and increasing temperature. These findings are relevant for designing preventive plans in a context of global warming.

HEAT AND CAUSE-SPECIFIC MORTALITY IN ADULTS AND INFANTS

ISEE Conference Abstracts (2011)

Xavier Basagaña Claudio Sartini Jose Barrera‐Gómez Payam Dadvand Jordi Cunillera

Background and Aims: Mortality has been shown to increase with extremely hot ambient temperatures. A fine stratification of mortality causes can be useful for improving preventive policies. Infants are often identified as a vulnerable population to extreme heat conditions; however, results on heat and infant mortality are scarce, with no studies reporting on cause-specific mortality. Methods: The study includes all deaths in the Catalonia region (Spain) during the warm seasons of 1983-2006 (503,389 deaths). The case-crossover design was used to evaluate the association between the occurrence of extremely hot days (days with maximum temperature above the 95th percentile) and mortality. Adult and infant mortality were stratified into 66 and 8 causes of death, respectively Results: Three consecutive hot days increased total daily mortality by 19%. The percent of all deaths that was attributable to heat was 1.59%. About 40% of those deaths did not occur during heat wave periods. The mortality causes with elevated risk included most cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, mental and nervous system disorders, some infectious and digestive system diseases, diabetes, and some external causes including suicide. In infants, the effect of heat was observed on the same day and was only detected for conditions originating in the perinatal period (Relative Risk: 1.53; 95% confidence interval: 1.16-2.02). Within perinatal causes, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive system and haemorrhagic and haemotological disorders were the causes with stronger effects. Conclusions: Heat contributes to an increase in mortality via several causes. In infants, the first week of life is the most critical window of vulnerability.

Assessing Novices’ Game Performance in Rugby Union: The Rugby Attack Assessment Instrument (RAAI)

Journal of Teaching in Physical Education (2016)

Bernat Llobet-Martí Víctor López‐Ros Jose Barrera‐Gómez Joel Comino-Ruiz

The application of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and Game Centered Approaches (GCA) in team sports initiation generated the need for assessing game performance. In this paper we introduce the Rugby Attack Assessment Instrument (RAAI), a tool to assess the actions of players in attack and their incidence in the generated game situations in rugby. The RAAI focuses the attention on the ball carrier during a 5 vs. 5 situation. The actions of players in possession of the ball are described and codified. A weight is allocated to each simple and combined action in relation to its tactical value. Thus, the codified actions provide a weighted Index of Performance, the team score of the RAAI. Validity and reliability were tested in two different studies. Results suggest that the RAAI is valid and reliable to assess ball carrier’s actions and their influence in attacking game situations of novice rugby union players.
