Ítem Associations between Fluid Intelligence and Physical Fitness in School Children(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-05-10) Bazalo, Borja; Morales-Sánchez, Verónica; Pérez-Romero, Nuria; Contreras-Osorio, Falonn; Campos-Jara, Christian; Hernández-Mendo, Antonio; Reigal, Rafael E.Previous research has highlighted that active lifestyles that contribute to improved physical fitness are positively related to cognitive functioning in children and adolescents. Specifically, the increase in physical condition at school age is considered relevant because it is related to better cognitive ability and greater academic performance. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between explosive strength, speed–agility, and fluid reasoning in schoolchildren. To achieve this objective, an associative, comparative, and predictive design was used in this research. A total of 129 children participated in this study (age: M = 9.48; SD = 0.99). To assess fluid reasoning, the Raven test’s Standard Progressive Matrices Subtest and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) were used. To assess physical fitness, the speed–agility test and the horizontal jump test (ALPHA-fitness battery tests), as well as the ball throw test (2 kg), were used. The results showed that the speed–agility test significantly predicted WISC-V Fluid Reasoning Index scores, and the medicine ball toss test significantly predicted Raven test scores. The results obtained highlight the associations between physical condition at these ages and fluid intelligence. This suggests that promoting active lifestyles that improve physical fitness could have a positive impact on children’s cognitive health.Ítem Effects of a small-sided handball game on selective, sustained attention and attentional amplitude in a sample of young adults(Universidad de Murcia Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Reigal, Rafael Enrique; Enríquez-Molina, Rocío; Sánchez-García, Carolina; Franquelo-Egea, María Auxiliadora; Contreras-Osorio, Falonn; Campos-Jara, Christian; Hernández-Mendo, Antonio; Morales-Sánchez, VerónicaPrevious studies have highlighted the chronic and acute effects that physical exercise has on cognitive functioning. However, it is necessary to go deeper in order to obtain precise information on what type of exercise is more favorable for certain cognitive abilities. Thus, the objective of this work was to analyze the effects of a session of small games based on handball on selective, sustained attention and attention span in a sample of young adults. Fifty-two participants between the ages of 21 and 25 (M= 21.83; SD=.94) from the city of Malaga (Spain) took part in this study. A quasi-experimental intersubject's research design was used with a control and experimental group. Using non-parametric statistical analyzes (U Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon) we tried to explore the effects of the physical/sports activity session on four tests of attention span, two of selective attention and one of sustained attention. The results showed statistically significant effects on the selective tests and attention span, although not on the sustained attention test. The findings suggest that collective physical-sporting activity could have a significant acute effect on attention, although it would be necessary to continue investigating the specific dimensions of attention, given the differences found between some parameters and others. © Copyright 2018: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de MurciaÍtem Effects of Physical Exercise on Emotional Intelligence from Birth to Adolescence: A Systematic Review Protocol(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 0024-12) Contreras-Osorio, Falonn; Cerda-Vega, Enrique; Campos-Jara, Christian; Ramirez-Campillo, Rodrigo; Pérez-Romero, NuriaBackground: Emotional intelligence (EI) can be understood as a set of traits or abilities that may have an impact on academic, professional, or mental health. The aim of this protocol was to establish methodological guidelines for a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of acute and chronic physical exercise on EI from birth to 21 years (late adolescence). Methods: This protocol followed PRISMA-P guidelines and will be modified in PROSPERO after peer review. The review will include experimental randomized and non-randomized control studies involving physical exercise interventions. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO will be utilized for study selection following the publication of the protocol. The risk of bias will be assessed using the ROBINS-I tool, ROB-2, and the GRADE approach will evaluate the certainty of evidence. Random effect meta-analyses will analyse the effect of physical exercise compared with control groups, using effect sizes measures (Hedges’ g), with a 95% confidence interval and prediction interval, for each EI outcome (perception, facilitation, understanding, regulation, and management of emotions). Potential moderators, such as exercise intensity, duration, and sociocultural factors, will be analysed. Heterogeneity will be assessed using the I2 statistic, and sensitivity analyses will be performed to ensure result robustness. Subgroup analyses may be conducted based on age groups and specific EI dimensions. Conclusions: Publication bias will be assessed using Egger’s test and the trim-and-fill method. The future results aim to provide a foundation for analysing the impact of physical exercise on EI development, potentially guiding future interventions in health, educational, and related fields. © 2024 by the authors.Ítem Effects of physical exercise on executive functions of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis(Public Library of Science, 2024) Pérez-Romero, Nuria; Campos-Jara, Christian; Pesce, Caterina; Sierralta, Sergio Araya; Cerda-Vega, Enrique; Ramirez-Campillo, Rodrigo; Campos-Jara, Rodrigo; Martínez-Salazar, Cristian; Arellano-Roco, Cristián; Contreras-Osorio, FalonnIntroduction Executive functions are commonly impaired in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Physical exercise has the potential for improving executive functions and can be easily implemented as a therapeutic method. However, there are only few systematic reviews of exercise effects in schizophrenia including cognitive outcomes, and no meta-analytical syntheses of effects on “cool” and “hot” executive functions. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be to determine the effects of physical exercise on “cool” and “hot” executive functions of adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Methods and analysis This protocol was guided by PRISMA-P guidelines. Studies will be searched using combinations of keywords and medical terms in the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO databases. Inclusion criteria will be determined as per PICOS approach. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane RoB2 tool. The certainty of evidence (per outcome) will be assessed using the GRADE method. The meta-analyses will be performed using the DerSimonian and Laird random effects model. Effect sizes (Hedges’ g) with 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for each main outcome. Conclusions The results of this review may be useful for mental health professionals to design treatment plans for adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, offering potential benefits related to the quality of life and cognitive abilities of this population. © 2024 Public Library of Science.
