Rowing power is one of the main factors that influences the increase in boat speed, and the increase in the speed of body segments enhances stroke velocity in Olympic Rowing. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the velocity of each segment and performance at different stroke rates, and to examine the differences betwe...
The active role of the student in the teaching-learning process is key to the improvement of academic performance and can be achieved through the implementation of cognitive teaching styles. The aim of this educational intervention was both to analyse the positive or negative impact of the implementation of the active role of the student for the im...
Fatigue accumulated during the practice of endurance running can be understood as the decrease in sports performance caused by physical exertion. Since fatigue can manifest itself in multiple ways, its influence is difficult to understand, and many authors propose different studies with the aim of obtaining firm conclusions. Thus, the aim of this s...
La presente propuesta educativa se basa en el planteamiento docente sobre el clima del aula en el que se diferencian los orientados al ego relacionados con planteamientos metodológicos tradicionales, en comparación con los climas más orientados a la tarea (Hortigüela-Alcalá eta al., 2016). Del mismo modo que las tecnologías e instrumentación han co...

Running power output allows for controlling variables that have been previously overlooked by relying solely on speed, such as surface, gradient and weight. The ability to measure this external load variable now enables the analysis of concepts that have predominantly been studied in cycling, such as the Critical Power (CP), in the context of runni...
Vertical jump height is a key measure of lower limb power and performance in many sports and athletic activities. Accurate measurement of vertical jump height is essential to monitor progress, set goals, and design training programs. Besides, new more economical and manageable instruments are emerging. However, it is necessary to know if these devi...
En el análisis de los efectos del planteamiento docente sobre el clima del aula, se
diferencian, por un lado, los planteamientos metodológicos tradicionales relacionados con un clima de aula orientado al ego, y por otro, los planteamientos basados en un estilo actitudinal con un clima más orientado a la tarea (Hortigüela-Alcalá et al., 2016). Actua...

La enseñanza y aprendizaje de la estadística se ha basado en metodologías tradicionales, poco dinámicas y fundamentadas en la memorización de los contenidos presentados. Sin embargo, mediante materiales didácticos innovadores basados en soportes audiovisuales que faciliten la comprensión de los conceptos teóricos y su implementación a través de los...
The differences in power meters and gestures between cycling and running can have an impact on determining Critical Power (CP) intensity in each sport. CP is a concept that has been extensively researched in cycling, but with the advent of power measurement in running, it can now be examined in that discipline as well. The purpose of the present st...
This study aimed to determine the criterion validity of the ADR jumping photocell when compared to a motion capture system and to examine the within-session test–retest reliability of the instrument. Thirteen highly trained female volleyball players performed ten countermovement jumps (CMJ) with two minutes rest in-between trials. Jumps were record...
El objetivo principal del trabajo fue analizar los efectos de un aprendizaje basado en juegos, sobre las necesidades psicológicas básicas y el rendimiento académico. Participaron 101 estudiantes de bachillerato, divididos en dos grupos de tratamiento: grupos experimental (n=54) y grupo control (n=47). El primer grupo desarrolló los contenidos a tra...
Maximum oxygen consumption and maximum power output are critical measures for training prescription in endurance sports such as rowing. The objective of this investigation was twofold: to compare the physiological and mechanical responses of female and male traditional rowers during a graded exercise test and to establish reference values in this s...
The ability to generate force in the lower body can be considered a performance factor in sports. This study aims to analyze the test–retest and between-device reliability related to the location on the body of the inertial measurement unit Vmaxpro for the estimation of vertical jump. Eleven highly trained female athletes performed 220 countermovem...
Problem Statement: Currently, the application for velocity-based training through a 3D Motion Capture System is discarded due to the economic and personal resources involved, being used mainly as laboratory instruments. As an alternative, different devices on the market make it possible to assess and control training loads, although not all use the...
Simple Summary
Due to the complexity of the triathlon, it is difficult to analyse overall performance. To date, the analysis of performance in triathlon has been widely studied through time or position in the three segments and in the overall result, which is what defines the medals and the goal of the competition, but it can have some limitations....
Purpose:
The critical power (CP) concept has been extended from cycling to the running field with the development of wearable monitoring tools. Particularly, the Stryd running power meter and its 9/3-minute CP test is very popular in the running community. Locating this mechanical threshold according to the physiological landmarks would help to de...
Problem Statement: The development of talent in endurance sports has been widely studied. However, parallel to this sport development, problems such as "burnout" or "dropout" appear as one of the main problems that arise in sports of lower categories. Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to analyse the triggering factors of dropout in endura...

El cross country es una modalidad del ciclismo de mountain bike (MTB), cuyas competiciones se caracterizan por dar un determinado número de vueltas a un circuito con una distancia desde 6-9km hasta 40-200km. En estos eventos, es importante planificar una estrategia dietético-nutricional para mitigar la aparición de resultados adversos relacionados...
As an alternative to analysing the contribution of performance in specific segments of a triathlon to the overall result as measured in terms of time or position, which has several limitations, previous studies have instead analysed the performance indicator in triathlon. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to analyse the relationship between p...

Problem Statement: Power meters have helped performance cyclists to revolutionisetheir training and competitions. However, running power is not obtained by a power meter, as in cycling, but is estimated through accelerometers, gyroscopes or inertial measurements units. Therefore, this relatively new concept must be correctly contextualised. Approac...

El uso de la potencia como indicador de la carga externa de un deportista es algo completamente aceptado y extendido en el ciclismo, pero en los últimos años ha ido evolucionando encadenando un serie de «suposiciones» hasta llegar a la carrera a pie, mostrando tanto ventajas como inconvenientes. En este artículo aclararemos dudas sobre ello.
