Exercise and Training at Altitudes: Physiological Effects and Protocols

An increase in altitude leads to a proportional fall in the barometric pressure, and a decrease in atmospheric oxygen pressure, producing hypobaric hypoxia that affects, in different degrees, all body organs, systems and functions. The chronically reduced partial pressure of oxygen causes that individuals adapt and adjust to physiological stress. These adaptations are modulated by many factors, including the degree of hypoxia related to altitude, time of exposure, exercise intensity and individual conditions. It has been established that exposure to high altitude is an environmental stressor that elicits a response that contributes to many adjustments and adaptations that influence exercise capacity and endurance performance. These adaptations include in crease in hemoglobin concentration, ventilation, capillary density and tissue myoglobin concentration. However, a negative effect in strength and power is related to a decrease in muscle fiber size and body mass due to the decrease in the training intensity. Many researches aim at establishing how training or living at high altitudes affects performance in athletes. Training methods, such as living in high altitudes training low, and training high-living in low altitudes have been used to research the changes in the physical condition in athletes and how the physiological adaptations to hypoxia can enhanceperformance at sea level. This review analyzes the literature related to altitude training focused on how physiological adaptations to hypoxic environments influence performance, and which protocols are most frequently used to train in high altitudes.

Continuos and intervalic training on cardiovascular fitness in sedentary women

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate if the intervallic exercise near to the maximum of intensity in a similar fitness population and in women is more effective to improve aerobic capacity than the continuous one of smaller intensity. In order to do it, ten healthy women between 18 and 25 years habitual inhabitants of Bogotá city (located at 2600masl) were selected. They signed the informed consent and were divided randomly in two groups of five participants. They were undergoing to two traditional types of training of ten weeks, three times per week, one hour of duration every day. The continuous training group (Group 1) had a VO2peak intensity of 60%; for his part, the intervallic training group (Group 2) had five sessions of ten minutes of exercise at 70% of VO2peak and 90 seconds of recovery between each session. It was possible to demonstrate that, although the Cardiac Frequency (CF) average of group 2 participants during the exercise sessions were always over those of group 1, this difference was not statistically significant. In the same way, the basal CF and the recovery CF, as well as the VO2peak, did not have significant differences between both groups. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure average, as well as the Respiratory Frequency (FR) were always superior in group 2, and these differences were really significant. It was possible to conclude that there is not a significant difference in cardiovascular fitness between sedentary young women, after 10 weeks of two traditional types of aerobic training, one 60% continuous and other one 70% intervalic.

Learning how (not) to fire a gun: combatant training and civilian victimization

What is the relationship between the type of training combatants receive upon recruitment into an armed group and their propensity to abuse civilians in civil war? Does military training or political training prevent or exacerbate the victimization of civilians by armed non-state actors? While the literature on civilian victimization has expanded rapidly, few studies have examined the correlation between abuse of civilians and the modes of training that illegal armed actors receive. Using a simple formal model, we develop hypotheses regarding this connection and argue that while military training should not decrease the probability that a combatant engages in civilian abuse, political training should. We test these hypotheses using a new survey consisting of a representative sample of approximately 1,500 demobilized combatants from the Colombian conflict, which we match with department-level data on civilian casualties. The empirical analysis confirms our hypotheses about the connection between training and civilian abuse and the results are robust to adding a full set of controls both at the department and at the individual level

Com la relació de l'educador amb el nen incideix en el seu desenvolupament d'habilitats manuals dins del marc d'un pretaller de fusteria. 'Cómo la relación del educador con el niño incide en su desarrollo de habilidades manuales dentro del marco de un pre-taller de carpintería'.

Definir los objetivos de un pretaller. Establecer los procesos de aprendizaje en el taller de carpintería y su incidencia en el desarrollo de habilidades manuales. Reflejar la experiencia educativa en el pretaller Àuria de Formación Laboral de Igualada. Formar globalmente en los hábitos comunes de los trabajadores a un grupo de alumnos disminuidos, dotarlos de autonomía y conocimientos generales que permitan la integración social. Realizar una formación técnica inicialmente polivalente. 17alumnos del centro Àuria divididos en dos subgrupos: uno de 8 alumnos (6 chicas y 2 chicos) que están cursando segundo y tercero de EGB; otro subgrupo de 9 alumnos ( 6 chicos y 3 chicas) que por sus características no pueden realizar un trabajo escolarm y reciben la preparación para en trabajo y el desarrollo social. Realiza observaciones directas, programa actividades para crear y mantener hábitos de trabajo. Valora y da confianza a los alumnos para estimularlos y motivarlos en su trabajo. Busca pautas de trabajo de forma conjunta con los padres. Trabaja las herramientas (martillo, sierra, barrena, destornillador) para adquirir habilidades manuales. Realiza un informe individualizado de cada alumno. La observación directa, participante. Realiza un informe especificandolas necesidades de cada sujeto según diferentes factores: el informe médico;el Informe social del alumno; Tests de inteligencia WISC, Goodenough y Bender; Tests de Psicomotricidad Hilda Santucci; Tests de personalidad CAT. Recoge muestras de los trabajos gráficos de los alumnos y fotografias de los mismos durante el trabajo del pretaller. La práctica educativa se valora positivamente, a pesar de los obstáculos encontrados relacionados con la falta de colaboración con la familia, la limitación de horario y la falta de recursos económicos. Concluye que para conseguir los objetivos propuestos se tiene que conseguir un buen clima social que permita al alumnado expresarse libremente, adquiriendo confianza en sí mismo, dando así pie a la reestructuración de la personalidad del sujeto. La prospectiva de la investigación hace hincapié en la educación para la libertad, para preparar al sujeto para la vida autónoma.
