This book reviews the main principles of resistance training, from basics to modern insights. It includes practical ways to develop most of the strength training methods, including monitoring and testing procedures. It merges practical tips with knowledge about the scientific background concerning program and periodization. It describes procedures for special populations, such as elderly or women. Gathering contributions by authoritative researchers and professors in the fields of sport science and biomechanics, this book provides an integrated view of strength training programming, and describes the most important biological factors associated with this type of training. The evidence-based and detailed description of each single mechanism to be trained to enhance performance is covered in depth. Thanks to its strong academic background, an being self-contained, this book offers a valuable reference guide for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in sports science, as well as an inspiring guide for sport and health researchers and professional trainers alike.
This book introduces the most recent research and innovative developments regarding the new strains of COVID-19. While medical and natural sciences have been working instantly on deriving solutions and trying to protect humankind against such virus types, there is also a great focus on technological developments for improving the mechanism – momentum of science for effective and efficient solutions. At this point, computational intelligence is the most powerful tools for researchers to fight against COVID-19. Thanks to instant data-analyze and predictive techniques by computational intelligence, it is possible to get positive results and introduce revolutionary solutions against related me...
Esta edición nos acerca a un nuevo enfoque de investigación, empleado con frecuencia en todas las áreas relacionadas con los medios: el análisis de contenido. Este método se basa en su eficacia para analizar los contenidos mediáticos. La convergencia tecnológica propiciada por la llamada Revolución Digital constituye un conjunto de tecnologías cuyas aplicaciones abren un amplio abanico de posibilidades a la comunicación humana.
En la sociedad multipantalla actual es necesario desarrollar la competencia crítica y la autonomía que nos permiten comunicarnos, para ello, es fundamental el trabajo cooperativo y el cultivo de valores que pueden alcanzarse a través del diseño por parte de los profesionales de la educa-ción de nuevos espacios y entornos de formación. En este marco, la alfabetización mediática se convierte en el estandarte de la formación integral del alumnado tanto de las etapas educativas no universitarias: infantil, primaria y secundaria como de la universitaria. La escuela, así como aquellas instituciones educativas, deberían comprometerse y formar parte de la sociedad informacional, creando espacios de interrelación social que contribuyan al desarrollo del pensamien-to crítico, axiológico y constructivo en la cultura mediática. Por ende, se necesita educación y formación entre docentes y discentes para que puedan pensar sobre sus relaciones con la sociedad informacional así como con la realidad digital actual.
Este libro es el resultado de un enorme esfuerzo coral, muy bien coordinado, en el que un comprometido grupo universitario saca a la luz una cuestión fundamental: no hay educación verdaderamente emancipadora si no se ocupa del cultivo y buen cuidado de los valores que nos permiten crecer como ciudadanas y ciudadanos con capacidad para actuar como sujeto de nuestras propias vidas.Estamos ante un ejemplo de trabajo horizontal que permite creer en una institución universitaria comprometida con la construcción de un pensamiento para el cambio social. No es fácil encontrar en ese ámbito de producción científica saberes que articulen una teoría y una praxis pegada a la vida y unos mapas q...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Multi-Agent-Based Simulation, MABS 2017, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in May 2017. The workshop was held in conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, AAMAS 2017. The 15 revised full papers included in this volume were carefully selected from 23 submissions. The topic of the papers is about applying agent-based simulation techniques to real-world problems focusing on the confluence of socio-technical-natural sciences and multi-agent systems with a strong application/empirical vein.
This book focuses on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and provides advice on how to approach EFL teaching in the online context. Coronavirus has accelerated e-learning significantly and has highlighted the need of appropriate web tools that will allow teachers to present their material either synchronously or asynchronously, while also adequately assess their students. At the same time, there is a need of tools that can engage the students and motivate them to actively participate in the lesson. With e-learning being a rather new challenge for both teachers and students, this book provides research- and practice- based chapters with strategies, techniques, approaches, and methods which have proven to be successful in e-learning environments, maximizing their impact . Apart from presenting research results with strong pedagogical implications on online or blended English language learning and teaching, the book also trains educators on utilizing online tools and managing online learning environments and platforms.
Pursuing an innovative, global approach, this unique book provides an updated review of the geology of Iberia and its continental margins from a geodynamic perspective. Owing to its location close to successive plate margins, Iberia has played a pivotal role in the geodynamic evolution of the Gondwanan, Rheic, Pangea, Tethys and Eurasian plates over the last 600 Ma of Earth’s history. The geological record starts with the amalgamation of Gondwana in the Neoproterozoic, which was succeeded by the rifting and spreading of the Rheic ocean; its demise, which led to the amalgamation of Pangea in the late Paleozoic; the rifting and spreading of several arms of the Neotethys ocean in the Mesozoic...
En la presente obra se pretenden explorar las prácticas comunicativas y el consumo cultural de adolescentes en las pantallas digitales, esa generación que crece junto a las tecnologías digitales, ordenadores, videojuegos, cámaras digitales o teléfonos móviles con acceso a un mundo inexplorado e interminable de redes sociales y aplicaciones (Fortunati y Magnanelli, 2002; Ling, 2002; Sánchez-Carbonell, Graner y Beranuy, 2007). La multifuncionalidad del móvil y sus atributos, lo hacen singularmente atractivo para jóvenes y adolescentes.
