Background: The aim of the research was to analyze the effects of an intervention program based on Adapted Utilitarian Judo (AUJ) to teach fall control, over fear of falling syndrome (FOF) in a group of older adults. Method: A quasi-experimental design (pre–post measurement) was adopted, with a healthy and pre-fragile sample of 19 subjects in the experimental group and 11 subjects in the control group (65–85 years), chosen using non-probabilistic-incidental accessibility sampling. The intervention program was conducted over six weeks, with two 60-minute sessions each week. To evaluate FOF, it was applied (pretest and post-test) the 16-item version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Results: The data show significant differences between pre- and post-test in reducing FOF into both specific variables (do the shopping, walk on a slippery surface, walk in a crowded place, walk on an uneven surface, and go up and down a ramp), as in the overall score (the global values of the experimental group decreased six points in the perceived fear scale, while the global values of the group increased three points). Conclusion: The application of the AUJ program meant significant improvements in subjects’ perception of FOF.

A significant number of children suffer injuries from falls. The current measures of prevention and education regarding falls are not sufficient, as falling is still the main cause of injury at this age. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of injury during a backward fall and assess the effect of the Safe Fall training program on this risk. 457 primary school children between the ages of 6 and 12 (mean age of 9) were enrolled in a 6-week randomized intervention. The program was carried out during physical education classes and consisted of an intervention group that followed the Safe Fall training program and a control group that was given equilibrium exercises. The risk of injury was assessed before and after the implementation using the Information Scale on Safe Ways of Falling observation scale, evaluating the responses of five different body parts (head, hip, knees, upper limbs and back). Students’ natural response to falls was associated with a high risk of injury in more than 90% of the cases. The implementation of the Safe Fall program resulted in a considerable decrease in this risk, with percentages lowered to levels between 8.7% and 18.3%.

The World Health Organization has warned that, in children, the second cause of death from unintentional injuries are falls. The objective of this study was to analyze the motor response of primary schoolchildren when a backwards fall occurs. These analyses occurred before and after interventions of the Safe Fall program, which aims to teach safe and protected ways of backward falling. A quasi-experimental research design was used, with a sample of 122 Spanish (Sevillian) schoolchildren in the 10–12 age bracket. The INFOSECA ad-hoc observation scale was used for data collection: this scale registers 5 essential physical reactions throughout the process of a safe and protected backwards fall. After that, a number of descriptive, correlational and contrast statistics were applied. The value used in the McNemar test to establish statistical significance was p < 0.05. Results showed that over 85% of students had developed the competence to correctly perform all five physical motions that allow for a safer backward fall. The teaching of safe and protected techniques for falling backwards in child population in Primary Education is possible through the implementation of the Safe Fall program in Physical Education classes, which can help making falls safer, diminishing the risk and severity of the injuries they cause.

This research analyzes the fall history of a group of elderly people and studies the effects of an intervention program based on Adapted Utilitarian Judo (JUA) to teach fall control in subjects with fear of falling syndrome (FOF). We adopted a quasi-experimental research design with pre-post measurement of the experimental group, in a healthy, pre-fragile sample of 12 women aged 71.5 ± 8 years, chosen using non-probabilistic-incidental accessibility sampling. The WHO questionnaire was used for the functional assessment of the fall. To evaluate FOF, we applied the 16-item version of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), (pretest and posttest). This intervention program was based on Adapted Utilitarian Judo and conducted over 8 weeks, with two 60-minute sessions each week. After analyzing the scores obtained by the subjects in the pre and post FES-I, we found that the intervention with the JUA program had been significant for the experimental group with p ≤ 0.004, and there was an 11.9% decrease in the fear of falling (FES-I pos = 18.17). The results show that after the application of the JUA program there were significant improvements in subjects’ perception of FOF, with this being greater in those who had the highest levels of fear of falling before the intervention.

The World Health Organization reports falls as the world’s second leading cause of death from unintentional injuries in children and has called for research and educational programs in this area. The scientific community states that the head and the support of the upper extremities are the most serious and frequent impact points in a fall. Likewise, it is established that the height of the fall is fundamental in the severity of the injury. The aim of this study is to prove that the implementation of the Safe Fall program in the Physical Education classes of Elementary, Middle and High school can contribute to reducing the harmful consequences of unintentional backward falls in the child population, by assimilating protected and safe ways of falling. A quasi-experimental research design was applied. The sample consisted of 752 schoolchildren (age M=10.2, SD=2.5), at state Elementary, Middle and High schools in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. Data was collected using the INFOSECA ad-hoc observation scale, which registers 3 basic elements during the process of a safe and protected backwards fall: position of neck, hands and hips. Descriptive, correlational and contrast statistics were applied. The criterion for considering statistical significance was p<0.05 in the McNemar test. Following the application of the Safe Fall program, results showed that the students have assimilated the learning of a safe and protected way of falling for the head (p<0.001), hands (p<0.001) and hip (p<0.000), there being no differences according to sex. The teaching of safe and protected techniques for falling backwards in the child population in Primary and Secondary Education is possible through the implementation of the Safe Fall program in Physical Education classes, contributing to the overall goal of reducing the risk and severity of injuries produced by falls.

This article reports on the Adapted Utilitarian Judo project. The use of the foundations and technical elements of traditional Judo, adapted and contextualised to the requirements of the older adult population, orienting the activity toward the field of health and the improvement of the quality of life of the older adult. Its mission is to facilitate maintaining and improving the functionality and autonomy of this population, with respect to the performance of the basic and instrumental activities of daily life. At the same it seeks to achieve this while maintaining the essence of the values that are inherent to the practice of Judo as a traditional martial art. It is argued that Judo, once adapted to focus on a utilitarian function, not only allows to actively influence aspects such as maintaining the physical qualities of the elderly but also fosters other key elements for active and healthy ageing by participating in an ongoing group activity, such as socialisation and self-esteem. More specifically, the paper presents how adapted Judo represents an innovation in the treatment of a risk factor associated with aging: the active prevention of falls. We conclude that Adapted Utilitarian Judo (JUA) is both a timely and relevant as a social and educational tool of great value, responds to propos called for by the international scientific community for programs aimed at improving the health and quality of life of the older adult population, especially in Europe, that is ageing at a fast pace.

The aim of this study is to show that the implementation of the Safe Fall programme in physical education classes can help to reduce the negative effects of unintentional backward falls in the adolescent population, by teaching them how to protect themselves when falling. A quasi-experimental research design was applied in a sample of 120 children (M = 15.1 years, SD = 2.45), attending a secondary school in Seville (Spain). Data was collected on an ad hoc observation scale INFOSECA (which records five basic elements during a backward fall: position of the neck, the hands, the trunk, the hips, and the knees), applying descriptive, correlational, and contrast statistics. The criteria for considering statistical significance was p < 0.05 in McNemar’s test. The data indicates that learning safe and protected ways of falling backward is possible through the implementation of the Safe Fall programme, and no differences were found in terms of gender.

This study analyzed Spanish teachers' behavior and the transmission of gender stereotypes. We observed 48 physical education lessons given by four Spanish teachers (two men and two women). Descriptive codes, which were generated iteratively, were clustered, categorized, integrated, recoded, and re-categorized. They allowed us to identify four major themes related to the transmission of gender stereotypes of teachers: male generics, stereotyped expressions, nominative attention, and priority order. We used a coding sheet as well as audio and video recordings to register the categories. The Kruskal-Wallis test produced significance levels lower than .05, resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis. Sexist behavior was found in the male generics, nominative attention, and priority order. However, we found no difference in stereotyped expressions.

En esta investigación se pretende comprobar la teoría de la interacción de Spielberger (1972) en el ámbito de la competición deportiva, analizando las relaciones entre ansiedad-estado y ansiedad-rasgo en la competición, según las dimensiones somáticas y cognitivas de la ansiedad-rasgo y ansiedadestado. Para evaluar ambos constructos se utilizó la versión alemana de los cuestionarios WAI-T y WAI-S, en una muestra de 135 deportistas de Luxemburgo. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que se pueden confirmar las hipótesis de Spielberger (1972), sobre la interacción entre ansiedad-rasgo y ansiedad-estado, ampliándose su validez en el ámbito de las competiciones deportivas. Asimismo, se comprueba la necesidad de separación multidimensional en las componentes somáticas y cognitivas de la ansiedad para el registro de la ansiedad-rasgo competitiva y la ansiedad-estado competitivaThis research aims to test the theory of the interaction of Spielberger (1972) in the field of sports competition, analyzing the relationship between state anxiety and trait anxiety in the competition, according to the somatic and cognitive dimensions of trait anxiety and state anxiety. In order to assess both constructs, the German versions of the WAI-T and WAI-S questionnaires were used in a sample of 135 athletes from Luxembourg. The obtained results confirmed Spielberger’s (1972) hypothesis of interaction between trait anxiety and state anxiety, extending its validity in the field of sports competitions. Moreover, the need for multidimensional separation of somatic and cognitive components of anxiety was verified for the assessment of competitive trait and state anxiet

This study analyzed Spanish teachers’ behavior and the transmission of gender stereotypes in physical education classes in secondary schools in Seville, southern Spain. We observed 48 physical education lessons given by four Spanish teachers (two men and two women). Descriptive codes, which were generated iteratively, were clustered, categorized, integrated, recoded, and re-categorized. They allowed us to identify five major themes related to the transmission of gender stereotypes of teachers: the channel of communication, use of demonstrations, task organization, disciplinary measures, and questions asked. We used a coding sheet as well as audio and video recordings to register the categories. The Mann–Whitney test produced significance levels lower than .05, resulting in the null hypothesis being rejected. Sexist behaviors were found in the channel of communication, the students chosen for demonstrations, task organization (the groupings), and in the monitoring of group discipline. However, we found no difference in task organization (material and space) or quantity of questions asked.

En este artículo se plantea un análisis de las competencias que dicen haber adquirido los egresados de Magisterio de la especialidad de Educación Física durante sus estudios, y las competencias que utilizan esos mismos sujetos una vez insertos en el mercado laboral. Para ello, se diseñó un cuestionario ad hoc titulado Cuestionario sobre la inserción laboral de los maestros especialistas en Educación Física egresados en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Sevilla, cuyo acrónimo es E.E.F.U.S., pasándoselo a seis promociones de egresados de Magisterio (N=104). A los datos obtenidos se les ha realizado un análisis factorial y comparativo entre poblaciones. Podemos concluir que la competencia más valorada por los egresados en sus dos momentos de la vida, es decir, al finalizar sus estudios y una vez insertos en el mercado laboral, es aplicar el juego como recurso didáctico y contenido de enseñanza. Además, proponemos la agrupación de las competencias específicas en cuatro factores o dimensiones a trabajar con los futuros Grados en Educación Primaria con mención en Educación FísicaThis article aims to analyse and compare the competencies which teacher-training students (Physical Education - PE) claim to have acquired during their studies and competencies which they claim to have once they have past the transition to working life, and they are already incorporated in the labour market. For that purpose, we designed a questionnaire entitled “Survey on the employment of teachers in physical education graduated from the Faculty of Education at the University of Seville (EEFUS)”, and the graduated PE teachers (N = 104) from the last six years from the University of Seville completed that specific questionnaire. We submitted the data obtained to descriptive and factorial analysis and the results inform that the competence they value most, in the two moments of their life (after graduation and once inserted in the labour market), it is to apply games as didactic material and teaching content. The analysed competencies are grouped into four factors or dimensions in order to be employed working easier with future teachers in primary education with a major in P
