The purpose of the study was to investigate the sensitivity of an alternative maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD_ALT) method to discriminate the “anaerobic” capacity while comparing: least trained (LT) participants (n = 12), moderately trained (MT) participants (n = 12), endurance trained (ET) participants (n = 16), and rugby (RG) players (n = 11). Participants underwent a graded exercise test on a treadmill and a supramaximal effort for assessing MAOD_ALT. MAOD_ALT was calculated as the sum of oxygen equivalents from the phosphagen and glycolytic metabolic pathways. MAOD_ALT was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in RG (64.4 ± 12.1 mL · kg^?1) than in ET (56.8 ± 5.4 mL · kg^?1; effect size [ES] = 0.77; +13.5%), MT (53.8 ± 5.3 mL · kg^?1; ES = 1.08; +19.8%), and LT (49.9 ± 4.5 mL · kg^?1; ES = 1.50; +36.4%). In addition, the magnitude-based inference analysis revealed that MAOD_ALT was likely (LT vs. MT), very likely (MT vs. RG, and ET vs. RG) and most likely (LT vs. ET, and LT vs. RG) different between all groups, except for MT and ET, which presented an unclear difference. In conclusion, MAOD_ALT was sensitive enough to distinguish the “anaerobic” capacity in individuals with different training status, especially for RG players compared with LT participants and MT participants.  相似文献   

IQ vs phonological recoding skill in explaining differences between poor readers and normal readers in word recognition: Evidence from a naming task     

López  Mercedes Rodrigo  González  Juan E. Jiménez 《Reading and writing》2000,12(1-2):129-142

The aim of this study was to investigate whether differences inreading performance between poor readers and normal readers could bebetter explained by phonological recoding deficiences than IQ. A sampleof 132 Spanish children was classified into four groups according to IQ(<80; 81--90; 91--109; 110--140) and into two groups based on readingskills (poor readers vs normal readers). A word naming task was alsoadministered. We manipulated the word parameters (length, positionalsyllable frequency, and word frequency) and nonword parameters (lengthand positional syllable frequency) to find out whether students withreading disabilities would have more difficulties than normal readers innaming words under conditions that require extensive phonologicalcomputation. The results demonstrated that there were differencesbetween Spanish children who were normal readers and those who were poorreaders, independent of their IQs.  相似文献   

Muscle activity and pedal force profile of triathletes during cycling to exhaustion     

Diefenthaeler F  Coyle EF  Bini RR  Carpes FP  Vaz MA 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2012,11(1):10-19

The purpose of this study was to analyze pedaling cadence, pedal forces, and muscle activation of triathletes during cycling to exhaustion. Fourteen triathletes were assessed at the power output level relative to their maximal oxygen uptake (355 +/- 23 W). Cadence, pedal forces, and muscle activation were analyzed during start, middle, and end test stages. Normal and tangential forces increased from the start to the end of the test (-288 +/- 33 to -352 +/- 42 N and -79 +/- 45 to -124 +/- 68 N, respectively) accompanied by a decrease in cadence (96 +/- 5 to 86 +/- 6 rpm). Muscle activation increased from the start to the middle and the end in the gluteus maximus (27 +/- 5.5% and 76 +/- 9.3%) and in the vastus lateralis (13 +/- 3.5% and 27 +/- 4.4%), similar increase was observed from the start to the end in the rectus femoris and the vastus medialis (50 +/- 9.3% and 20 +/- 5.7%, respectively). Greater normal force along with enhanced activation of knee and hip extensor muscles is linked with fatigue and declines in cadence of triathletes during cycling to exhaustion.  相似文献   

Effect of strength training on rate of force development in older women     

Gurjão AL  Gobbi LT  Carneiro NH  Gonçalves R  Ferreira de Moura R  Cyrino ES  Altimari LR  Gobbi S 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2012,83(2):268-275

We analyzed the effect of an 8-week strength training (ST) program on the rate of force development (RFD) and electromyographic activity (EMG) in older women. Seventeen women (M age = 63.4 years, SD = 4.9) without previous ST experience were randomly assigned to either a control (n=7) or training (n=10) group. A leg-press isometric test was used for assessment. ST (three sessions/ week, three sets of 10-12 repetition maximum, five different exercises) induced significant increases (p < .05) on peak RPD (48.4%) and on RFD) and EMG of vastus medialis at time intervals of 0-50, 0-100, 0-150, and 0-200 ms (41.1-69.2% and 43.8-64.3%, respectively). Therefore, ST resulted in favorable changes in neuromuscular responses in older women.  相似文献   

Experimental archaeology and historical empathy: key tools for learning about our origins / Arqueología experimental y empatía histórica: herramientas clave para la didáctica de nuestros orígenes     

M. Pilar López-Castilla  Rodrigo Alonso Alcalde 《Cultura y Educación》2019,31(1):170-187

We propose a learning methodology based on the development of historical empathy through experimentation. Experimental archaeology is an active methodology which provides dynamism and an active role and entertainment for students, as well as provoking historical empathy in them. This combination helps the students get a better understanding of the target knowledge. This paper presents a practical illustration of historical empathy through the implementation of experimental archaeology activities.  相似文献   

High-volume resistance training reduces postprandial lipaemia in postmenopausal women     

Cleiton Silva Correa  Bruno Costa Teixeira  Roberto Carlos Rebolledo Cobos  Rodrigo Cauduro Oliveira Macedo  Renata Lopes Kruger  Randall Bruce Kreismann Carteri 《Journal of sports sciences》2015,33(18):1890-1901

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 11 weeks of low-volume resistance training (LVRT) and high-volume resistance training (HVRT) on muscle strength, muscle thickness (MT), and postprandial lipaemia (PPL) in postmenopausal women. Thirty-six healthy and untrained postmenopausal women (age, 58.9 ± 5.8 years; 68.6 ± 10.3 kg; and BMI, 26.9 ± 4.8 kg · m^?2) participated in resistance training 3× per week for 11 weeks (HVRT = 12; LVRT = 13; and control group = 11). Biochemical variables, both pretraining and post-training, were evaluated 16 h after the administration of an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) and metabolic variable during [energy expenditure (EE)] and after training session [excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)]. Muscle strength (1 RM) and MT were also calculated, and no significant differences were observed between the groups for PPL (mmol · L^?1 per 5 h) as measured by glucose, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol. EE total (EE + EPOC; 6.12 ± 1.21 MJ vs. 2.26 ± 0.85 MJ), resting fat oxidation (5.52 ± 1.69 g · h^?1 vs. 4.11 ± 1.12 g · h^?1); MT (vastus medialis, 21.4 ± 1.8 mm vs. 18.4 ± 1.2 mm and vastus lateralis 22.3 ± 1.2 mm vs. 20.8 ± 1.3 mm); triacylglycerol (TAG) 0, 1, 2, 4; and 5 h after OFTT, TAG area under the curve (AUC) (5.79 ± 0.42 vs. 7.78 ± 0.68), and incremental AUC (?46.21 ± 14.42% vs. 7.78 ± 4.68%) were all significantly different post-training for HVRT versus LVRT, respectively (P < 0.05). The results of this investigation suggest that HVRT reduces PPL in postmenopausal women.  相似文献   

Metamemoria y estrategias mnémicas en escolares     

José M. Díaz  María José Rodrigo 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(46):3-16

Resumen

Este artículo se propone determinar la relación entre el grado de metamemoria alcanzado en niños de 7 a 14 años, y su rendimiento en dos pruebas de memoria. Estas se diseñaron de forma que midiesen no sólo el recuerdo, sino también el empleo de dos estrategias mnémicas: la repetición y el agrupamiento. Los resultados respecto a la primera indican un mejor rendimiento de los sujetos altos en metamemoria, sólo dentro del grupo de 7 años. En cuanto a la estrategia de agrupamiento, parece que su empleo no está asociado necesariamente a un mejor rendimiento. Así, en los niños mayores, son los bajos en metamemoria los que más la utilizan, sin que su recuerdo sea superior al del grupo de los altos. Entre los niños de 7 años los resultados son parecidos, de manera que los altos en metamemoria recuerdan más, pero no emplean con más frecuencia dicha estrategia.  相似文献   

Effects of concurrent training on interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and C-reactive protein in middle-aged men   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Libardi CA  Souza GV  Gáspari AF  Dos Santos CF  Leite ST  Dias R  Frollini AB  Brunelli DT  Cavaglieri CR  Madruga VA  Chacon-Mikahil MP 《Journal of sports sciences》2011,29(14):1573-1581

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of moderate- to high-intensity resistance and concurrent training on inflammatory biomarkers and functional capacity in sedentary middle-aged healthy men. Participants were selected on a random basis for resistance training (n = 12), concurrent training (n = 11) and a control group (n = 13). They performed three weekly sessions for 16 weeks (resistance training: 10 exercises with 3 × 8-10 repetition maximum; concurrent training: 6 exercises with 3 × 8-10 repetition maximum, followed by 30 minutes of walking or running at 55-85% [Vdot]O(2peak)). Maximal strength was tested in bench press and leg press. The peak oxygen uptake ([Vdot]O(2peak)) was measured by an incremental exercise test. Tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein were determined. The upper- and lower-body maximal strength increase for both resistance (+42.52%; +20.9%, respectively) and concurrent training (+28.35%; +21.5%, respectively) groups (P = 0.0001).[Vdot]O(2peak) increased in concurrent training when comparing pre- and post-training (P = 0.0001; +15.6%). No differences were found in tumour necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 for both groups after the exercise. C-reactive protein increased in resistance training (P = 0.004). These findings demonstrated that 16 weeks of moderate- to high-intensity training could improve functional capacity, but did not decrease inflammatory biomarkers in middle-aged men.  相似文献   

Influence of leg preference on bilateral muscle activation during cycling     

Carpes FP  Diefenthaeler F  Bini RR  Stefanyshyn DJ  Faria IE  Mota CB 《Journal of sports sciences》2011,29(2):151-159

The purpose of this study was to investigate asymmetry of muscle activation in participants with different levels of experience and performance with cycling. Two separate experiments were conducted, one with nine cyclists and one with nine non-cyclists. The experiments involved incremental maximal and sub-maximal constant load cycling tests. Bilateral surface electromyography (EMG) and gross and net muscle efficiency were assessed. Analyses of variance in mixed linear models and t-tests were conducted. The cyclists in Experiment 1 presented higher gross efficiency (P < 0.05), whereas net efficiency did not differ between the two experiments (21.3 ± 1.4% and 19.8 ± 1.0% for cyclists and non-cyclists, respectively). The electrical muscle activity increased significantly with exercise intensity regardless of leg preference in both experiments. The coefficient of variation of EMG indicated main effects of leg in both experiments. The non-preferred leg of non-cyclists (Experiment 2) presented statistically higher variability of muscle activity in the gastrocnemius medialis and vastus lateralis. Our findings suggest similar electrical muscle activity between legs in both cyclists and non-cyclists regardless of exercise intensity. However, EMG variability was asymmetric and appears to be strongly influenced by exercise intensity for cyclists and non-cyclists, especially during sub-maximal intensity. Neural factors per se do not seem to fully explain previous reports of pedalling asymmetries.  相似文献   

Las teorías implícitas en el conocimiento social     

M.a José Rodrigo 《Infancia y Aprendizaje》2013,36(31-32):145-156

Resumen

Las teorías del hombre de la calle se analizan utilizando una doble perspectiva, la de la psicología social europea y la del procesamiento de información. La primera se centra en el origen social del conocimiento y analiza el carácter explícito o implícito de las teorías. Por su parte, la perspectiva cognitiva puede aportar conocimientos sobre las propiedades estructurales y funcionales de las teorías implícitas, asimilándolas a esquemas.  相似文献
