Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 This research explores maternal role transition and competency to better understand how OTs can support mothers during the transition to motherhood. The following themes emerged after an in-depth literature review and three focus groups with new mothers: support systems, physical and psychological health, role transition, and advocacy. OTs can provide education and adaptations or modifications to routines to facilitate balance during the imbalance of a new mother’s life.

This study aimed to determine whether associations between the perceived environment and physical activity are moderated by urban-rural status among midolder aged adults. Environmental (safety, aesthetics, physical activity environment) and physical activity (total, leisure, transport) data from 3,888 adults (55 to 65 years) from urban and rural areas of Victoria, Australia, were analyzed. Multinomial logistic regression examined interactions between urban-rural status and environments in associations with physical activity. Significant (P < .05) interactions were evident and indicated positive associations only among older rural adults for both safety and aesthetics with total and transport physical activity (e.g., rural adults reporting higher safety were 91% to 118% more likely to have higher activity than rural adults reporting low safety). In contrast, the physical activity environment was positively associated with leisure activity among only urban adults. Findings suggest that some tailoring of physical activity promotion strategies targeting the environment may be required for urban and rural midolder aged adults.

Resumo: O presente estudo objetivou analisar as respostas fisiológicas, físicas, técnicas e táticas de jovens futebolistas em função do resultado em jogos reduzidos. A amostra foi constituída por 39 jogadores (idade 15,9 ± 1,0 anos) agrupados pelo desfecho dos jogos, vitória (17), empate (6) e derrota (16). As respostas físicas e fisiológicas foram quantificadas por meio da utilização de um GPS portátil e um monitor cardíaco. A percepção subjetiva de esforço foi medida utilizando a escala de BORG 6-20. As respostas técnico-táticas foram avaliadas conforme a frequência e qualidade de execução de habilidades técnicas e princípios táticos fundamentais. Na análise foram empregados os testes de Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis, U de Mann Whitney e a Regressão Logística Multinomial. A significância foi estabelecida em 5%. Jogadores que conquistaram a vitória ou o empate percorreram maiores distâncias em corrida de baixa-intensidade e menores distâncias em caminhada. O grupo empate realizou mais passes do que o grupo derrota (14,0 vs 10,0). O grupo vencedor apresentou maior eficiência de execução em três princípios ofensivos e três princípios defensivos em comparação com o grupo perdedor. Verificou-se que o aumento na eficiência de execução de princípios ofensivos e defensivos aumenta as chances de os jogadores estarem nos grupos empate (11 a 24%) ou vitória (10% a 21%) com relação a derrota. Conclui-se que as características fisiológicas, físicas, técnicas e táticas são fatores que exercem influência sobre o êxito competitivo, sendo que o aumento na eficiência tática resulta em mais chances para conquista da vitória ou empate. Abstract: The present study aimed to analyze the physiological, physical, technical, and tactical responses of young soccer players according to the result in small-sided games. The sample consisted of 39 players (15.9 ± 1.0 years of age) grouped by the outcome of the games, winning (17), drawing (6), and losing (16). Physical and physiological responses were quantified using a portable GPS and a cardiac monitor. The rating of perceived exertion was measured using the BORG 6-20 scale. Technical-tactical responses were assessed according to the frequency and quality of execution of technical skills and core tactical principles. Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U and Multinomial Logistic Regression tests were used in the analysis. Significance was set at 5%. Players in the groups “winning” and “drawing” covered greater distances in low-intensity running and shorter distances in walking. The “drawing” group executed more passes than the “losing” group (14.0 vs 10.0). The “winning” group showed greater efficiency of execution in three offensive and three defensive principles compared to the “losing” group. It was found that the increase in the efficiency of execution of offensive and defensive principles increases the chances of the players being in “drawing” (11 to 24%) or “winning” (10% to 21%) groups in relation to “losing”. It is concluded that the physiological, physical, technical, and tactical responses influence competitive success, and the increase in tactical efficiency results in more chances to achieve winning or drawing. Resumen: El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las respuestas fisiológicas, físicas, técnicas y tácticas de los futbolistas jóvenes dependiendo del resultado en juegos reducidos. La muestra consistió en 39 jugadores (edad 15.9 ± 1.0 años) agrupados por el resultado de los juegos, victoria (17), empate (6) y derrota (16). Las respuestas físicas y fisiológicas se cuantificaron utilizando un GPS portátil y un monitor cardíaco. La percepción subjetiva del esfuerzo se midió utilizando la escala BORG 6-20. Las respuestas técnico-tácticas se evaluaron de acuerdo con la frecuencia y calidad de ejecución de las habilidades técnicas y los principios tácticos fundamentales. Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U y pruebas de regresión logística multinomial se utilizaron en el análisis. La significancia se estableció en 5%. Los jugadores que han ganado la victoria o el empate han cubierto distancias más grandes en carreras de baja intensidad y distancias más cortas al caminar. El grupo de empate hizo más pases que el grupo de derrota (14.0 vs 10.0). El grupo victoria mostró una mayor eficiencia de ejecución en tres principios ofensivos y tres defensivos en comparación con el grupo derrota. Se encontró que el aumento en la eficiencia de la ejecución de los principios ofensivos y defensivos aumenta las posibilidades de que los jugadores estén en el grupo empate (11 a 24%) o victoria (10% a 21%) en relación con la derrota. Se concluye que las respuestas fisiológicas, físicas, técnicas y tácticas influye en el éxito competitivo, y el aumento de la eficiencia táctica da como resultado más posibilidades de lograr la victoria o el empate.

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar cuáles de las acciones finales de juego discriminan la victoria y derrota en categorías de formación de voleibol femenino en los sets cerrados resueltos por reglamento con una ventaja mínima de dos puntos. Se analizaron un total de 57 sets en categoría infantil y 69 sets en categoría cadete de los Campeonatos de España de Voleibol de Valladolid 2008 y Huelva 2009 en edad escolar (12-16 años). Los resultados mostraron diferencias entre la condición de ganador y perdedor del set en el ataque positivo en categoría infantil y en el bloqueo positivo y error en categoría cadete. Por su parte, los resultados del análisis discriminante, prueba estadística que determina aquellas acciones de juego más significativas a la hora de establecer diferencias entre los equipos ganadores y perdedores, mostraron como el ataque positivo, servicio negativo y error en categoría infantil y el bloqueo positivo y error en cadete predice la victoria y derrota de set. Estos sugieren que en momentos decisivos de set y en ambas categorías, tanto el control de los gestos técnicos como el error resultante de una infracción reglamentaria, predicen su rendimiento final.

A total of 57 sets were analyzed in infantile category and 69 sets in cadet category during the national volleyball championship at school age (12-16), Valladolid 2008 and Huelva 2009. Statistics analysis shows differences between the condition of both the winner and the loser teams in sets in the positive attack in infantile category and in positive block and error in cadet category. Discriminative analysis, statistical test that determines those most significant game actions when establishing the differences existing between the winner and loser teams, shows how to predict victory and defeat in the ended sets regarding the positive attack, negative service and error in infantile category and positive block and error in cadet category. These ones suggest that during decisive set moments in both categories, either technical gestures control or errors which arise from a regulation infraction may predict their final performance.Key words: Female volleyball, notational analysis, play action, scholar age.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la secuencia de los dos últimos golpeos del punto en pádel, y clasificarlos a través de árbol decisional multivariante. Se analizaron un total de 2110 acciones de juego, siendo las variables analizadas: golpeo, zona de la pista, eficacia, dirección, resultado y lado de juego. Los partidos fueron analizados mediante observación sistemática. Los resultados mostraron que mantener posiciones cercanas a la red aumenta las probabilidades de victoria, observándose que las secuencias de finalización más frecuentes son las de fondo-volea y globo-remate. Las parejas ganadoras realizan mayor número de puntos ganadores en la red y menos errores en el fondo de la pista. Además, utilizar trayectorias cruzadas en el penúltimo golpe aumentará las posibilidades de un error posterior de los rivales. Estos datos tienen aplicación práctica en el entrenamiento perceptivo y decisional del jugador de pádel, y la aplicación de feedbacks por parte del entrenador.

Myth, Locality, and Identity in Pindar’s Sicilian Odes argues that Pindar engages in a striking, innovative style of mythmaking that represents and shapes Sicilian identities in his epinician odes for Sicilian victors in the fifth century BCE. While Sicily has been thought to be lacking in local traditions for Pindar to celebrate, this book argues that the Sicilian odes offer examples of the formation of local traditions: the monster Typho whom Zeus defeated to become king of the gods, for example, now lives beneath Mt. Aitna; Persephone receives the island of Sicily as a gift from Zeus; and the Peloponnesian river Alpheos travels to Syracuse in pursuit of the local spring nymph Arethusa. By weaving regional and Panhellenic myth into the local landscape, as the book shows, Pindar infuses physical places with meaning and thereby contextualizes people, cities, and their rulers within a wider Greek framework. During this time period, Greek Sicily experienced a unique set of political circumstances: the inhabitants were continuously being displaced, cities were founded and resettled, and political leaders rose and fell from power in rapid succession. This book offers the first sustained analysis of myth in Pindar’s odes for Sicilian victors across the island that accounts for their shared cultural contexts.

Abstract This chapter traces Dickens’s engagement in The Mystery of Edwin Drood with the nineteenth-century psychological concept of double consciousness, a condition in which individuals seemed to possess two discrete mental lives. According to John Forster, the novel was to conclude with the enigmatic John Jasper’s relation of the murder of his nephew “as if, not he the culprit, but some other man, were the tempted”; Jasper, in other words, was apparently to be plagued by a psychic split that would render introspection largely useless as a means to know the mind. But this chapter suggests that the novel finally seeks to dismiss the notion that Jasper’s mind is so rigidly divided, precisely because of the way double consciousness had been explained by 1870 through both the double brain theory—thereby offering the condition as evidence of the physiological basis of mind—and through theories of reflex thought that narrowed the bounds of consciousness and called into question the agency that might be exerted through any such immaterial entity as the will. Such material explanations of double consciousness, this chapter suggests, equally shed light on the efforts of physical theorists to redefine “soul” so that the word became no more than a synonym for consciousness. But because of Drood’s unfinished state, Dickens’s position in relation to psycho-physiology in this novel is never made entirely clear to most readers, and the concept of double consciousness consequently only imports into the novel the various physical meanings that Dickens sought to refute.
