“…These results provide novel information about strength training in football players with CP, and coaches should introduce this modality of training to increase athletic performance. This study extends the body of knowledge regarding sports performance and adapted physical activity disciplines (Gamonales, Muñoz-Jiménez, León-Guzmán, & Ibáñez, 2018). It would be interesting for future studies to analyze the metabolic and structural adaptations of the eccentric strength training in the spastic muscle of athletes with CP.…”

This study examined the effects of eccentric strength training on muscle function and functionality in football players with cerebral palsy (CP). Eight players (M=21.6, SD=5.9 years) performed bilateral lower limb (LL) eccentric strength training for six-week at 80% of one repetition maximum (ECC), three times per week, while nine players (M=20.9, SD=6.6 years) were used as controls (CTL). Knee extensor muscles isometric (MVC) strength, asymmetry between LL, thigh perimeter, balance (Y-balance test) and agility (Illinois agility test) were measured in both LL before and after training. CTL maintained all dependent variables unchanged after six weeks. MVC strength increased in the right (M=22.7, SD=9.6%; p<0.001; ES=1.12) and in the left LL (M=23.7, SD=7.6%; p<0.001; ES=0.93) after ECC. Strength asymmetry decreased (M=-22.7, SD=15.4%; p<0.001; ES=0.58) after ECC. Thigh perimeter increased in the left (M=4.8, SD=1.6%; p<0.001; ES=0.84) and in the right LL (M=4.4, SD=1.5%; p<0.001; ES=0.73) after ECC. Balance improved in the left (M=12.9, SD=3.2%; p<0.001; ES=0.84) and in the right LL (M=10.5, SD=4.5%; p<0.001; ES=0.63) after ECC. The results suggest that eccentric strength training seems to effectively increase muscle strength, balance, and thigh perimeter and decrease strength asymmetry in football players with CP.

“…The closer the defender is to the ball, the greater the shaded area behind him. This area then becomes an unnecessary space for the team in possession (Gamonales et al, 2018). In terms of performance, the degree of physical commitment is high, rapidity of movement is required.…”

The rules of the game of team sports and the technical and tactical modalities applicable to them are indispensable for practicing sports in a competitive way. The correct competition arose from the automatic mechanism of the sanction following the infringement of a game rule which is also aided by the relational dynamics of the individual members of the group who claim the application of the rule to continue playing. The competition can also be self-regulated by the two groups that compete for the victory without even the referee's decisive action as always happens in training activities. This phenomenon is found only in those contexts where the rule is necessary and sufficient on its own to guarantee the orderly development of activities. The aim of the study is to identify the significant elements of the five-aside football rules, and the related technical and tactical behaviours, to identify an inventory of significant behaviours. The method is documentary archive research for the analysis of the game rules of the team sport in question, and a subsequent comparative method among the grids of indicators, descriptors and weights that classify rule, technique and tactics. The expected results will focus on the fair presence of the significant elements and the commonality or discrepancy between team sports. The data is useful to measure the quantity of significant behaviours in order to qualitatively elaborate the value of each of them compared to the other current behaviours of the quantitative performance and to establish the connections.

“…Balance ability is an important issue in the field of mobility functions of persons with visual impairments. Loss of balance can lead to accidents in various adapted sports, especially in games like 5 a side football (Gamonales, et al, 2018). This study has highlighted a simple method of evaluation of static balance ability and has suggested further simplification by removing the double leg stance.…”

The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is an easily administered test of short duration static balance. In daily activities including sports, people with low vision (partially sighted) or partial blindness and visual impairment face difficulty while balancing their body in static positions. The purpose of this study is to test balance and stability of people with low vision or partially sightedness (PS) and full blindness (FB) using BESS test. The BESS was used to measure the error in the range from 0 for "excellent balance" and 10 for "very poor balance". A total of 106 volunteers participated in the study that included 43 PS (mean age = 17.5y, SD = 3.2y) and 63 FB (mean age = 20y, SD = 3.4y) volunteers. The test for the BESS was taken for Non-Dominant Leg (NDL) and Dominant Leg (DL). Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were carried out. The study revealed that all the combinations of correlation between Firm Surface (FS) and Foam Surface (FOS) were statistically significant at p<.05. Test of age, height, and weight of the PS and FB group indicated significant differences between the groups in these variables. Surface firmness is less effective in evaluating balance for persons with visual impairments.
