Abstract
La finalidad de este estudio consiste en recopilar los escritos dedicados al deporte en la prolífica obra de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (1960-2003), valorar la existencia de una obra deportiva montalbaniana y delimitar los principales temas tratados para desentrañar las bases de su pensamiento deportivo. A pesar de la importancia de su obra en torno al análisis del deporte como un elemento de la cultura popular y como una potente herramienta para descifrar los procesos sociales, los estudios académicos dedicados a investigar esta dimensión de su obra y de su pensamiento son escasos. La compilación de sus escritos deportivos se realiza a partir del análisis sistemático de sus artículos catalogados en trabajos anteriores y de su obra literaria publicada. Las principales líneas de su pensamiento deportivo se establecen en categorías temáticas a partir del cálculo de la frecuencia de aparición en el conjunto de textos deportivos. Los resultados obtenidos confirman la existencia de una obra deportiva original formada por 700 escritos, en su mayoría artículos periodísticos. Las categorías temáticas más importantes están relacionadas con el análisis social, político, mediático y económico del deporte; la crítica marxista; la significación política y social del Barça; o el patriotismo deportivo. Esta investigación aporta el descubrimiento de 178 artículos deportivos no catalogados anteriormente y la delimitación del pensamiento deportivo montalbaniano en torno a tres aspectos: las connotaciones políticas y sociales del fútbol español, la desvirtuación política y económica del deporte y la reivindicación del simbolismo del F. C. Barcelona. Abstract The aim of this study consists on compiling the texts devoted to sport in the prolific career of Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (1960-2003), to value the existence of a ‘montalbanian’ sport work and to delimit the main discussed themes to unravel the basis of his sports thought. Despite the importance of his works regarding the analysis of sport as a popular cultural element and as a powerful tool to decipher social processes, academic studies devoted to research on this dimension of his works and thought are scarce. The compiling of his writings on sports is carried out from the systematic analysis of his catalogued articles in previous writings and of his published literary works. His main lines of sport thought are established in thematic categories from the calculation of the frequency in publication on the whole of sport texts. The obtained results confirm the existence of an original sport work made up of 700 texts, mostly journalistic articles. The most important thematic categories are related to the social, political, media and economical analysis of sport; the Marxist criticism; the political and social significance of Barça; or the sport patriotism. This study reveals the discovery of 178 non previously catalogued sport articles and the delimitation of the ‘montalbanian’ sport thought around three aspects: political and social connotations of Spanish football, the political and economical distortion of sport and the recognition of FC Barcelona symbolism.Date

EFFICACY OF HOME-BASED KINESTHESIA, BALANCE & AGILITY EXERCISE TRAINING AMONG PERSONS WITH SYMPTOMATIC KNEE OSTEOARTHRITISMatthew W. Rogers; Nauris Tamulevicius; Stuart J. Semple; Zarko Krkeljas (University of Uludag, 2012-12-01)The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a home-based kinesthesia, balance and agility (KBA) exercise program to improve symptoms among persons age > 50 years with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Forty-four persons were randomly assigned to 8-weeks, 3 times per week KBA, resistance training (RT), KBA + RT, or Control. KBA utilized walking agility exercises and single-leg static and dynamic balancing. RT used elastic resistance bands for open chain lower extremity exercises. KBA + RT performed selected exercises from each technique. Control applied inert lotion daily. Outcomes included the OA specific WOMAC Index of Pain, Stiffness, and Physical Function (PF), community activity level, exercise self-efficacy, self-report knee stability, and 15m get up & go walk (GUG). Thirty-three participants [70.7 (SD 8.5) years] completed the trial. Analysis of variance comparing baseline, mid-point, and follow-up measures revealed significant (p < 0.05) improvements in WOMAC scores among KBA, RT, KBA + RT, and Control, with no differences between groups. However, Control WOMAC improvements peaked at mid- point, whereas improvement in the exercise conditions continued at 8-weeks. There were no significant changes in community activity level. Only Control improved exercise self-efficacy. Knee stability was improved in RT and Control. GUG improved in RT and KBA+RT. These results indicate that KBA, RT, or a combination of the two administered as home exercise programs are effective in improving symptoms and quality of life among persons with knee OA. Control results indicate a strong placebo effect in the short term. A combination of KBA and RT should be considered as part of the rehabilitation program, but KBA or RT alone may be appropriate for some patients. Studies with more statistical power are needed to confirm or refute these results. Patient presentation, preferences, costs, and convenience should be considered when choosing an exercise rehabilitation approach for persons with knee OA

RESPONSE TO THE STUDY OF GÓMEZ-LÓPEZ ET AL. "PERCEIVED BARRIERS BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE PRACTICE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES. J SPORT SCI & MED 9, 374-38, 2010"Robert Whitham; Bryn Saville (University of Uludag, 2011-03-01)The article by Manuel Gómez-López et al., 2010 was read with interest by student members of Cardiff University's newly formed Sports and Exercise Medicine Society. As medical students we, more than most, are aware of the long term effects that a sedentary lifestyle may bring and its impact on a healthcare system such as ours in the United Kingdom (UK).We found the results of the study intriguing, particularly regarding the 'external barriers-lack of time' category as an important factor in not participating in sports. In the UK there is one afternoon every week which is set aside purely for sporting activities, providing the time to train and compete against other universities. Furthermore, UK universities on the whole offer more advanced and diverse facilities than those available to people at school, whilst there is also a greater number of sporting and exercise opportunities for people to partake in. University is potentially one of the best times in life to expand one's horizons and spend time enjoying the various extra-curricular activities that there is on offer, hence it is crucial that any perceived barriers to this are broken down to allow implementation of a healthy routine. Physical activity has been shown to decrease psychosocial stress and cardiovascular mortality (Milani and Lavie, 2009), something that would surely be considered positive if a sedentary individual were contemplating regular exercise.As future doctors we are concerned about an obesity epidemic that is only becoming more severe. Much of adult obesity has its roots in childhood (Sinha and Kling, 2009) and in modern times many children progress to university and further education. With students as the next generation of parents and working people, there should be a clear focus, especially across the developed world, on improving involvement in physical activities in the hope of decreasing prospective morbidity and the strain this brings to each nation's health service.It is undisputed that a lot of time is required to meet educational requirements and academic deadlines, yet it is not immensely difficult for those with an interest in sport to also pursue these activities. Medicine is a demanding and time-consuming course, yet the majority of medical students in our year at Cardiff regularly participate in sports, many of us acquiring important roles within the clubs whilst competing to high standards. We believe that students in the UK who have adopted an inactive way of life may be influenced by intrinsic factors, such as those mentioned within the article, to a greater extent than proposed. It would be easy for people to blame extrinsic factors in this questionnaire to hide their own lack of motivation. Although these intrinsic traits cannot truly be altered, educational institutes should commit to provide the facilities and spare time for sport amongst this age group, therefore partially reducing the hindrance of any external factors. The important observations made by Gómez-López et al. should not be taken for granted; it is crucial that a healthy lifestyle is promoted from an early age to maintain a good level of physical and mental health. Universities have a duty to their students whereby they should remove any barriers preventing students from practicing their chosen activity. In the future we hope that participation levels will continue to rise, bringing with it all the associated benefits.
