The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) show how education is essential for creating values in students. In particular, SDG 4 (quality education) and 5 (gender equality) indicate co-education should be a sustainable benchmark. Co-educational methodologies have been studied decades. Among them, cooperative learning considered valid technique developing social relations competences. This study aims to describe characterize the gender differences between university students regarding their...

The practice of physical activity contributes to the prevention chronic diseases such as obesity, metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular diseases, being also directly related individual's fitness. Therefore, it is necessary measure and monitoring levels in childhood adolescence, since may be useful describe their current health status association with fitness, well reveal putative consequences future. Within educational field, has been shown that education classes are a favorable context for...

Background. Physical conditions are recognized to be optimal after the pre-season (PS) phase in professional sports. Given that blood measures may also reveal variations, which turn, present associations with fitness changes. Objective. The aim of this study is test changes markers and physical outcomes at beginning following PS phase. Additionally, we aimed analyze training adaptations between measures. Methodology. 25 male soccer players (28.1 ± 4.6 years old, 2.0 7.8 kg, 176.7 4.9 cm)...

and objective Players must be capable to have a good change-of-direction (COD) skill aiming the fastest as possible react immediately opponent or even help players more agile since COD is physical determinant of agility. Thus, aim this study was test effects six-week combined training intervention in countermovement jump (CMJ) young soccer players, while comparing with control group only performing regular field-based sessions. A sample 80 non-professional (40 experimental 40 group) between...

The aim of this study was to explore the variations (pre-post) (i) Anthropometric measures: weight, body mass index, lean and muscle mass, (ii) Physical fitness: countermovement jump (CMJ) VO2max, (iii) heart rate variability (HRV) (recumbent sitting): mean RR, RMSSD, NN50 %, (iv) Psychomotor Vigilance Task, v) SART: ACC Go, NoGo reaction times in semi-professional women soccer players from second division Spanish League. analysis indicated that improved after observation period (p = .05, d...

The scientific literature has shown the beneficial effects of chronic Physical Exercise (PE) on a wide range tasks that involve high-order functioning. For this reason, present study aimed to investigate active breaks physical fitness and vigilance performance in high school students through eight weeks training. A total 42 healthy (age = 16.50 ± 0.59 years; height 171.08 8.07 cm; weight 67.10 13.76 kg) from one Andalusian (Spain) were assigned for convenience matched into two groups,...

The postural stability seems to be important in the physical development of soccer player and specific tasks related game. In addition, it is injury risk therefore, with prevention retraining processes. this context, Y Balance Test (YBT) presented as a tool assess dynamic control.This study aimed explore differences possible correlations YBT scores inter-limb asymmetry for anterior (ANT), posteromedial (PM) posterolateral (PL) directions by category field position players.173 males players...

This study analyzed the effects of with (WC) or without conducting a warm up on youth soccer players immediately before performing physical and cognitive tests. Fourteen player (age 11.64 ± 0.50) participated in counterbalanced cross-sectional which three conditions were tested: (a) basal lineal condition; (b) WC (immediately tests); (c) (passive resting for 15 min between warm-up tests). A 30-m sprint test, countermovement jump, psychomotor vigilance task also applied. The revealed...
