Relaciones entre el autoconcepto y el perfil psicológico deportivo en triatletas

El proposito de este trabajo fue examinar las relaciones entre el autoconcepto multidimensional y el perfil psicologico en un grupo de triatletas. Participaron en el estudio 88 triatletas con edades entre 20 y 55 anos (M= 36.06; DT= 7.75). Se utilizo el Cuestionario Autoconcepto Forma 5 (AF5) para evaluar el autoconcepto y el Inventario Psicologico de Ejecucion Deportiva (IPED) para analizar el perfil psicologico. Los analisis de correlacion efectuados pusieron de manifiesto relaciones significativas entre los constructos estudiados, siendo el autoconcepto emocional el que tuvo una mayor correlacion con los diferentes factores del perfil psicologico. Ademas, la autoconfianza, el control de afrontamiento negativo y el control actitudinal fueron las dimensiones del IPED que obtuvieron un mejor valor de prediccion a partir de los diferentes factores del autoconcepto. Los resultados hallados pusieron de manifiesto la importancia del autoconcepto en la configuracion de las diversas habilidades psicologicas implicadas en el rendimiento del deportista.

Effects of small-sided exercises on body composition and maximal oxygen uptake in adolescents

BACKGROUND The regular practice of physical activity contributes to weight control and improves maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), socialization and quality of life. AIM To determine the effect of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on body composition and VO2max in a group of overweight school-age males. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied fifty-five overweight males aged 15.6 ± 0.7 years. Participants were divided in two groups (experimental and control groups). The intervention in the experimental group was the practice of small-sided games during 60 minutes, two days per week and during 11 weeks. At baseline and the end of the intervention, body composition was measured using bioimpedance and VO2max was calculated using the Course Navette test. RESULTS A 7% reduction in the percentage of body fat and a 9% increase in VO2max were observed in the experimental group (p < 0.01). No changes were recorded in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Eleven weeks of small-sided exercises performed twice per week increased VO2max and reduced fat mass in overweight adolescents.Background: The regular practice of physical activity contributes to weight control and improves maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), socialization and quality of life.
