Ítem Activating Specific Handball’s Defensive Motor Behaviors in Young Female Players: A Non-Linear Approach(MDPI, 2023-03) Espoz-Lazo, Sebastián; Farías-Valenzuela, Claudio; Hinojosa-Torres, Claudio; Giakoni-Ramirez, Frano; Del Val-Martín, Pablo; Duclos-Bastías, Daniel; Valdivia-Moral, PedroTraditional models to train and teach young players in team sports assume that athletes learn as linear systems. However, an actual methodology called Non-Linear Pedagogy (NLP) accounts for the fact that the players and the team are complex dynamic systems. Experiences in handball under this methodology are scarce; due to this, an observational study has been conducted with a follow-up, idiographic and multidimensional design, in which 14 female school handball players belonging to four different local teams in Santiago, Chile (age = 15.55 + 0.51) agreed to participate in three special handball training sessions with the use of the NLP methodology where three different constraints were used. Descriptive analysis with the Chi-squared test showed a total of 252 observations where most of the variables were dependent on the constraints (p ≤ 0.001). Frequency showed that mainly “Defense in Line of progression” and “Proximal contact” were the most activated variables, followed by “Harassment” and “Deterrence” for all constraints. However, only constraint 2 highly activated two collective motor behaviors, while the rest only did it with individual motor behaviors. It is concluded that the constraints used in training seem to be effective in activating a group of defensive handball motor behaviors, specifically those that are basic for female school handball players. © 2023 by the authors.Ítem Multicomponent training in progressive phases improves functionality and quality of life in a group of older Chilean women(Universidad de Murcia, 2023) Jofré-Saldía, Emilio; Villalobos-Gorigoitía, Álvaro; Giakoni-Ramirez, Frano; Astie, Silvia; Gea-García, GemmaThe objective was to evaluate the effects of multicomponent training in progressive phases of 18 weeks on functional autonomy, physical performance, and quality of life in older women from the community. The sample consisted of 73 women with a mean age of 69,81 ± 9,44 years. To assess functional autonomy, the GDLAM protocol was used. Physical performance was evaluated through 10-meter gait speed tests, dumbbell elbow flexion-extensions, manual dynamometry, getting up from the chair for 30 seconds, sit and reach, and back scracth. Quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. At the end of the intervention, improvements were observed in functional autonomy (p<0,001), physical performance (p<0,001) and quality of life (p<0,001). In conclusion, a multicomponent training in progressive phases improves functional autonomy, physical performance, and quality of life, being a safe and effective method for older women in the community. © Copyright 2023: Publication Service of the University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain.Ítem Test-retest reliability of Latin American Group for Maturity (GDLAM) protocol in older women(Public Library of Science, 2024-04-04) Ojeda, Álvaro Huerta; Jofré-Saldía, Emilio; Molina, Jimena Arriagada; Quinchavil, Patricia Rojas; Toledo, María Paz Parada; Maliqueo, Sergio Galdames; Cabrera, María-Mercedes Yeomans; Jorquera-Aguilera, Carlos; Giakoni-Ramirez, Frano; Bravo, MaximilianoFunctional autonomy (FA) is a critical factor in determining the quality of life of older adults (OA), especially in the case of older women (OW), as they face a decline in FA in their later years of life. FA should be assessed early, using valid, reliable, and low-cost tests. This study evaluated the test-retest reliability of GDLAM and GDLAM autonomy index (GI) in OW. Thirty-nine OW (71.2 ± 6.50 years) participated in the study. A repeated measures design was used to compare the interday test-retest reliability of the five GDLAM tests (seconds) and the GI (points). The five tests represent activities of daily living, such as dressing or wandering around the house, while the GI provides a weighting of the results of the five tests. The analysis consisted of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), and coefficient of variation (CV). A CV ≤ 10% and an ICC≥0.80 were considered acceptable reliability, whereas a CV ≤ 5% and an ICC ≥ 0.90 were considered high reliability. The outcome of the five tests, represented by the GI, showed high interday test-retest reliability (CV = 6.00% and ICC = 0.91). The results of this study demonstrate that the five tests of the GDLAM protocol and the GI have high interday test-retest reliability and good interday reproducibility. From a practical point of view, the GDLAM protocol allows the assessment of FA of community-dwelling OW, providing background for early diagnosis and, with it, the possibility of developing an individualized physical exercise prescription.
