“…This represents a starting point for a gradual path, made up of small daily acquisitions and towards always new achievements, which, moreover, do not foresee points of arrival, as man's intellectual abilities are practically infinite (Severino et al 2019). The proposed exercises, then, must gradually be more and more demanding, always respecting the training method described above.…”

Soccer is born as a spontaneous form of play and as such should remain. It is a sport characterized by unpredictability: in every moment, new situations arise with which the player must relate and to which he must respond adequately. Indecision or carelessness can change the outcome of a game. The complex (and uncomplicated) structure of the game should be trained right through complexity, so that the player can recognize what happens during the game, ie those situations that are found in the game itself. Starting from the youth sector it is necessary to train memory, perception, concentration skills and situation analysis. We need to recreate actions that are more likely to the game, but stimulate reasoning as a training factor. Once the player has gained experience, he will automatically be able to recreate it in the game. The aim of this study is precisely to demonstrate the need to provide young people with a strong technical-coordination base, stimulating the psychokinetic component. In practice, it is necessary to equip the child with a wide technical repertoire that can be used during a game, thus reducing that sense of loss and abandonment to improvisation. In this paper, various exercises will be proposed concerning both the coordinative technical component and the psychokinetic component; the main findings will be analyzed, and compared with the numerous epistemological references present in the literature.

“…Physical activity helps to prevent cardiovascular disease and lowers the risk of contracting various diseases (Alves et al, 2016;Kyu et al, 2016). Furthermore, by doing physical activity the individual perceives himself as healthier and the regular performance has also been correlated to greater personal satisfaction and happiness (Lera-Lòpez et al, 2017;Severino et al, 2019).…”

This work analyzes the benefits that physical activity could bring in a hard context such as the prison one. After an explanation of the fundamentals of the Italian Penitentiary System, essential to understand the possibilities that professionals that interact with that world have, the authors expose the psychophysical conditions that a prisoner suffers from the very first months of conviction. It will then be purposed a selected literature which shows how different physical activities could improve that conditions and, moreover, how they can be concretely useful for the aims of the prison sentence: re-education and re-socialization. These previous argumentations allow the authors to hope for greater attention to sports activities in prison and to lay the foundations for further empirical studies in the prison context. Key Words:Prison; physical activities; public health; conditions of detention Introduction: Italian Penitentiary System and physical activities in prison The purpose of the prison sentence in Italy is established by Article 27 of the Constitution and, it is intended as re-educative. Sports and recreational activities are provided by the Penitentiary System as tools to be implemented in re-education, but the problems interrelated with overcrowding and the architecture of prisons sites make the actual practice of these activities very arduous (Dolcini, 2016). It is reported that the detainees have experienced a worsening of their psychophysical conditions since the first months of imprisonment, and it has been verified that a greater onset of pathologies is related to the prison lifestyle (Testa & Federici, 2010). On the other hand, it has been shown that physical activity can make up many of the problems linked to a closed and sedentary life context. A general improvement in physical conditions and a greater mental well-being are related, in particular, to the performance of an activity in itself and to an increase in self-esteem. Several studies have also shown that sporting practice can be supportive in programs related to the inclusion and re-socialization of prisoners and, in general, in the decrease of the possibility of relapse(Martos-Garcìa et al., 2009b). Starting from what emerges by the current legislation about the treatment and re-education of prisoners in Italy, in line with the underlying principle of the restrictive penalties implemented, the Penitentiary Law in the law of 26th July 1975, n. 354, amended by the recent legislative decree 2ndOctober 2018, n. 123, in article 15, states textually that the treatment of the prisoner should avail, first of all,«education, professional training, work, participation in public utility projects, religion, cultural, recreational and sporting activities, all this by making appropriate contacts with the outside world and relations with the family" (Piarulli et al., 2018). In details, articles 59 and 60 of the aforementioned decree, concern with outlining recreational and sports activities which, in line with rehabilitative objectives, are included ...

Research purpose. The present study aims to examine the changes in physical activity levels during the lockdown due to COVID-19 in Italy. In particular, it aims to evaluate the impact of physical exercise on psychological health, how much the home environment influences the desire to train and what people think about Smart-fitness and sport in general. Materials and methods. A sample of 268 people from the province of Salerno participated in the study, with an average age of 26 years. To achieve the tasks set, the study relied on the following methods: analysis of scientific literature, formulation and administration of a questionnaire and data analysis through methods of mathematical statistics. A structured questionnaire was prepared, disseminated through social networks. To analyze the data, the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) and descriptive statistics were used to calculate the demographic variables. The factor analysis was also calculated to verify the characteristics of the sport considered important by the participants. Results. The results obtained made it possible to understand the main type of physical activity carried out during the quarantine (aerobic activity 35%, functional training 27%, anaerobic activity 19%), the time dedicated to each session (52.8% practice for 1 hour) and the weekly frequency of the same (42.9% practice physical activity continuously more than ¾ times a week). It was also understood the reasons that prompted the interviewees to train, the way they planned their session and the equipment used. Finally, it was shown that the majority of the sample (64.17%) knew smart fitness considering it an interesting activity, and the influence attributed to the home environment by a scale of values from 1 to 5. Furthermore, the factor analysis shows us the most relevant aspects wich respondents attributed to sport. More frequently, respondents place greater importance on being loyal and correct, on the contrary, lower values are attributed to the importance of earning money, and not to disappoint others. Conclusions. The study found that COVID-19 did not stop athletes, who quickly adapted to the new situation. The home environment has proved to be very influential on the desire to train, despite this, they hope to return to the gym as soon as possible.
