Motor imagery has been suggested as an efficient alternative to improve the rehabilitation process of affected limbs. In this study, a low-cost robotic guide is implemented so that linear position can be controlled via the user’s motor imagination of movement intention. The patient can use this device to move the arm attached to the guide according to their own intentions. The first objective of this study was to check the feasibility and safety of the designed robotic guide controlled via a motor imagery (MI)-based brain–computer interface (MI-BCI) in healthy individuals, with the ultimate aim to apply it to rehabilitation patients. The second objective was to determine which are the most convenient MI strategies to control the different assisted rehabilitation arm movements. The results of this study show a better performance when the BCI task is controlled with an action–action MI strategy versus an action–relaxation one. No statistically significant difference was found between the two action–action MI strategies.

Stress control as well as other psychological characteristics influence sports performance (SP) and could be relevant according to the playing position in team sports, such as the futsal where players have different specific functions within the team. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychological characteristics and profile related to SP of top-level young futsal players, according to the offensive or defensive role. A total of one hundred sixty-seven young promises futsal players participated in this study (84 U16 and 83 U19) and have been chosen to play Championship of Spain Selections. The Psychological Characteristics related to SP for soccer players Questionnaire was used, and one-way ANOVA test was performed based on the playing position (goalkeeper, defender and defender-wing, wing and wing-defender, pivot and wing-pivot, and universal). Results showed that goalkeepers had the best psychological profile and characteristics related to SP. Pivots and wing-pivots had less self-confidence, and universals players, less stress control in relation to the rest of the playing positions (p < 0.05). The main findings revealed that the psychological characteristics and profile related to SP in young promises futsal players are different according to the playing position, and this study suggest the inclusion of psychological-training programs in order to improve the psychological abilities of players, especially for players with offensive role who seek to score goals.

Introducción: la nutrición parenteral (NP) en la infancia es un tratamiento cuyas características son muy variables en función de la edad y la patología que presente el paciente.

El ocio digital supone un incremento de horas sedentarias ante las pantallas de diversos dispositivos electrónicos, perjudicando su condición física. El objetivo es diseñar una propuesta didáctica para el 5º curso de Educación Primaria, que favorezca el desarrollo de las capacidades físicas básicas (CFB), a partir de diferentes juegos motores. Se analiza la definición, tipos e implementación pedagógica de las CFB en Educación Primaria, así como el concepto, características, tipos e implementación de los juegos motores. Además, se contemplan la transversalidad e interdisciplinariedad, debido a la intención de desarrollar ambos aspectos. Se pretende estimular las CFB de los niños mediante los juegos motrices y una referencia didáctica al docente para favorecer el desarrollo de la condición física de sus discentes de forma lúdica y saludable.

Los objetivos de este estudio fueron describir los fundamentos técnicos-tácticos ofensivos con balón de la selección española de fútbol sala, las superficies de contacto y las zonas del terreno de juego donde se inicia cada fundamento, así como examinar la relación asociativa entre dichos fundamentos y los otros dos criterios. Se empleó la metodología observacional. Predomina el pase y control del balón, así como el empeine, interior y planta del pie, además del inicio de los fundamentos en zonas del campo rival. Asimismo, destaca la realización significativamente mayor del control del balón con la planta del pie, manejo del balón combinando diferentes superficies de contacto, pase con el interior del pie, conducción con el empeine del pie, regate combinando distintas superficies de contacto y tiro también con el empeine. Por último, resalta la realización significativamente mayor del control y pase desde campo propio y regate y tiro desde campo rival.
