Introduction: Many sporting activities require both vertical jumping in combination with agility. Yet, both vertical jumping and agility can be executed either bilaterally or unilaterally.Problem Statement and Approach:There exist no literature exploring the association between unilateral agility with vertical jump performance variables.Thus, the purpose of this study was todetermine associationsand predictive ability between performance measures during unilateral and bilateral vertical countermovement jumpswith unilateral agility measures.Material and Method: Thirty recreationally active adults participated in two non-consecutive sessions. During the first session,participants completed three trials of right-sideunilateral countermovement jumps, left-side unilateral countermovement jumps, and bilateral countermovement jumpsin a randomized order. All jumps were performed akimbo, on force platforms, withthirty seconds of rest between trials. During the second session,participantscompleted two distinct unilateral agilitymaneuvers:single leg up three-back one and single leg cross hops, and were given two trials for each maneuver with thirty seconds rest between trials. The average of all completed trials for all countermovement jumps and agility maneuvers were used for statistical analysis. Spearman’sR correlation were used to find significant associations between completion time for the agility maneuvers and jump height, peak force, relative force, peak power, relative peak power, and landing force for all countermovement jumpconditions. Results:There were significant correlations between the cross hop and up three-back one agility maneuver completion time with countermovement jump height, peak force, peak power, relative peak power, and landing force during both unilateral and bilateral jumps. Conclusions:There appears to be an association between certain performance measures during bilateral and unilateral countermovement jumpsand unilateral agility. Peak power and landing force assist in predicting unilateral agility completion time. Therefore, coaches may desire to implement unilateral jumping with individuals necessitating single leg agility to complete their desired exercise or sport activity.

Due to the growing increase in participants in trail running and the earliness in their practice, the need to know the reasons why these young people decide to engage in this demanding sport has arisen, as well as how it influences their personal development. 40 technified athletes from all over Spain (28 men, 12 women) participated in this mixed study to answer the different questions raised. It was observed that most of them began to practice it thanks to people close to them (60%). In terms of the aspects that have been influenced by the practice of this sport, they include; their outlook on life (29%), their habits and responsibilities (28%) and friends (26%). Finally, 48% of participants found that trail running can help them with their mindset to face problems and other situations in the future from which it is concluded that trail running could stimulate the development of a resilient personality (hardiness) among its practitioners.

In his training and experiential path, the physical education (PE) teacher will be considered qualified and “competent”, only when he/she will be able to affect positively and effectively the educational relationship with the students by helping and leading them towards the acquisition of that particular form of intelligence, which from now on, we will call “body-kinesthetic” or “motor” intelligence. For a long time now, the concept of "competence" has been adopted within various fields and referred to different dimensions to indicate the level of ability to do something. For this reason, it is currently challenging to provide a univocal definition of competence since its meaning varies according to the context and the topic of the discussion. From an educational perspective, the PE teacher’s competence should not simply indicate his basic knowledge, intended as the sum of specific and sectorial knowledges consolidated though the experience, nor his teaching skills, intended as pure technical-professional skills. Indeed, a third indispensable component that has to be integrated in the concept of competence, can be identified in the individual character, attitude and personal traits of the teacher. Finally, a fourth component is the high success rate of the teaching and didactic process. Only the combination of these four distinct but related components, will qualify the teacher to deliver high quality teaching and to be considered “competent”.

The present research examined the effect of physical fitness on self-esteem of pre-adolescent children. Students performed the MOTORFIT tests and filled IPAQ-C and Self-Esteem questionnaires. According to the level of the physical fitness we evaluated the self-esteem. Results showed no gender differences, while differences for the level of physical fitness was found. In particular, participants who performed better the MOTORFIT test reported a higher self-esteem compared to less physical fit participants. However, a discrepancy emerged when the self-esteem was analysed as a function of the physical activity reported where no differences emerged between the groups. In conclusion, our results provided an effect of physical activity on self-esteem through objective measures.
