“…Another mild although not significant negative relation was observed between conscientiousness and literacy, which resisted across models, also when IQ was considered. This negative relation is consistent with previous research findings (e.g., Moutafi et al, 2003Moutafi et al, , 2004Moutafi et al, , 2006Furnham et al, 2005Furnham et al, , 2007Wood and Englert, 2009;Soubelet and Salthouse, 2011;Furnham and Moutafi, 2012;Rammstedt et al, 2016Rammstedt et al, , 2017. It is usually interpreted within the intelligence compensation hypothesis (ICH) according to which people with lower level of intelligence compensate their difficulties by becoming more conscientious in order to emulate their peers; in contrast, those with higher level of intelligence do not need to compensate (Moutafi et al, 2004).…”

“…Conscientiousness, on the other hand, did not affect neither freshmen' nor bachelor graduates' scores except for a positive association with numeracy for bachelor graduates when the field of study was not considered. Both non-significant correlations (e.g., Chamorro-Premuzic et al, 2005;Furnham et al, 2005;Bartels et al, 2012) and positive correlation (e.g., Lounsbury et al, 2005;Baker and Bichsel, 2006;Luciano et al, 2006;Malykh, 2017) between contentiousness and cognition were previously found. Interestingly, this latter result is consistent with studies reporting a correlation between conscientiousness and academic success (Busato et al, 2000;Poropat, 2009), suggesting that such trait could be a good predictor of cognitive competences in academically more advanced students besides intelligence.…”

“…These interventions should consider not only the original level of cognitive abilities, but also non-cognitive dispositions and the university career (the reached level and the field of study). Given that personality and cognition predict life and career outcomes (Farsides and Woodfield, 2003;Furnham et al, 2005Furnham et al, , 2007Graham and Lachman, 2012) as well as cognitive assessments do (Cappellari et al, 2017), potentiating the first should reinforce the latter, as they beneficially affect personal outcomes.…”

Personality and cognition are found to be two interrelated concepts and to both have a predictive power on educational and life outcomes. With this study we aimed at evaluating the extent to which personality traits interact with cognition in acquiring cognitive competences during higher education. In a sample of university students at different stages of their career and from different fields of study, we collected Big Five traits, as a measure of personality, and Intelligent Quotient (IQ), as a proxy of cognition. A set of multiple regressions served to explore the relative contribution of IQ and personality traits on the performance on two cognitive competences tests: literacy and numeracy. Results showed that IQ highly modulated numeracy but had a moderate or no impact on literacy while, compared with IQ, personality affects literacy more. In a further explorative analysis, we observed that both the effects of personality and IQ on cognitive competences were modulated by the level of the students' career (freshmen, undergraduates, and bachelor graduates). Different traits, and particularly conscientiousness, increased or decreased their impact on achieved scores depending on the educational level, while IQ lost its effect in undergraduates suggesting that personal dispositions become more influential in advancing the academic carrier. Finally, the field of study resulted to be a predictor of numeracy, but also an important covariate altering the pattern of personality impact.

Background. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is gaining increasing attention in the scientific community. Studies using exercise combined with blood flow restriction have shown muscle strength and size improvement. In fact, the main feature of BFR training is that can elicit muscle hypertrophy and strength adaptations using light external loads (20-30% one repetition maximum, 1RM) comparable to what is typically seen following high-load (HL) training programs with 70-85% 1RM. This specific training has applications for individuals who may not be able to tolerate the mechanical stresses associated with higher loads, such as the elderly or injured; thus, several investigations have focused on implementing BFR exercise within older and clinical populations. However, the effects of this kind of technique in healthy athletes are not clear in scientific literature. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative results of blood flow restriction training in healthy athletes. Methods. PRISMA guidelines were used to carry out the systematic review and meta-analysis. Three electronic databases were searched: MEDLINE, PEDro, and the Cochrane Library. Papers included in the study have the following characteristics: a) a randomized controlled trial or clinical trial design of research, b) studies investigating physiological effects of BFR training in healthy athletes and c) published in English. The approach to data extraction was chosen on the basis of the Cochrane Methods. Studies quality and risk of bias of the clinical trials included were evaluated according to a Jadad score and through meta-analysis. Results. After the elimination of duplicates, 164 records were screened. Among these, 14 studies were included in the systematic review. Seven of these were involved in the meta-analysis. From the qualitative analysis, a larger number of studies were found with a low level of quality. Conclusions. The application of BFR positively influences muscular adaptations compared with exercise under normal blood-flow conditions, in terms of increased VO 2 max, higher strength increase, and muscles adaptations. Thus, BFR provides a feasible, promising, and beneficial complementary training stimuli when used in a controlled environment supervised by trained and experienced personnel.

Background. Iliotibial band syndrome (IBS) one of the most common injury of the lateral knee. This is an overuse injury, and it has an increased occurrence rate in populations favouring running and other multidisciplinary endurance sports. In many cases, the pain quickly subsides upon cessation of activities. For this reason, rehabilitation plays an essential role in reducing days of inactivity. Objective. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the qualitative results of conservative rehabilitation treatments of IBS. Methods. The following four electronic databases were systematically searched from March to May 2020: Medline, PEDro, Scopus and Web of Science. Papers included in the study met the following prerequisites: experimental studies with or without a control group about conservative treatments of IBS. Titles, key words, and abstracts identified through the databases were screened independently by two reviewers/searchers. Duplicates were first eliminated from the total number of studies found in the literature through the four databases. Subsequently, after reading the title and abstract, studies against the inclusion criteria were eliminated. Two reviewers independently extracted patient demographics and descriptive information. These characteristics were judged on the basis of information provided in the reports on the studies. Study quality and risks of bias were assessed using the Jadad scale and Pedro scale. Results. Twelve experimental studies were included in this systematic review. Three of these are Radomized Controlled Trials three are pre-post-test and six are case reports and case series. Conclusions. IBS responds positively to conservative treatment. More precisely, in the acute phase, shockwaves can be used, and rest and ice are recommended. Stretching and strengthening exercises should be started after the acute phase. Mulligan techniques on the hip and knee can also be used to treat iliotibial band syndrome.
