In this study we refer to an individual-differentiated approach in the motor rehabilitation system of preschoolers with Infantile Cerebral Palsy (ICP) which is one of the main conditions for effective application of the recovery system. This consists in the complex examination of motor disorders, their differentiation and the individualization of the recovery process. In this sense, we propose a rehabilitation system through the means of physical education of preschoolers with CP depending on the severity of the motor disorders. To select the sets of physical exercises intended for individual or group recovery programs, it is not enough to classify motor disorders according to the maximum or final manifestation level. There is a need to differentiate and analyze the causes that led to the reduction of the final motor result, for this examining the temporal, spatial and energetic parameters.

Based on the research carried out from specialized sources, we can conclude that femoral-patellar pain syndrome is a clinical entity that leads to the appearance of anterior knee pain, in patients without pathological changes present in the cartilage of the femoral-patellar joint. Studies in the specialized literature demonstrate that a physical therapist can adapt an individual treatment plan for each patient depending on the underlying pathology. Considering the importance of the knee joint in everyday life, both for carrying out daily activities and for carrying out professional activities, we can conclude that its recovery is extremely important. The production mechanisms of the femoro-patellar syndrome are multiple, and this requires the implementation of a recovery program as effective as possible, based on the most accurate and detailed assessment. Current imaging techniques can provide us with important data regarding the situation of the knee joint, which makes the diagnosis of patellofemoral syndrome easier. Orthopedic treatment can be considered adjuvant in combating the pain caused by femoral-patellar syndrome if it is associated with an individualized and well-structured physical therapy program. Surgical interventions are only indicated for patients in whom an anatomical defect of the bone structures or the pathological alignment of the patella maintains the destruction of the cartilage. After any type of surgical intervention, it is mandatory to establish specialized physiotherapy programs with specific objectives, in order to ensure a high post-operative success rate.

The production mechanisms of the femoro-patellar syndrome are multiple, and this requires the implementation of a recovery program as effective as possible, based on the most accurate and detailed assessment. Regarding the modification of the activity, we are left with a series of contraindications such as; avoiding deep bending of the knee against resistance. Maintaining an adequate body mass index should be part of any anterior knee pain management program. Muscle toning exercises are recommended without crossing the painful threshold, performed especially in a closed kinetic chain, and hydrotherapy offers numerous benefits in performing movements by reducing joint stress. As far as physiotherapy methods are concerned, they can be considered very important in reducing pain in patients with femoro-patellar syndrome, because with their help we can implement the kinetotherapeutic exercise program early and without the presence of pain. In the present paper, two of the most frequently applied protocols for patients diagnosed with femoral-patellar syndrome were tested on 2 different groups of patients. Although the results are beneficial for patients through the prism of both programs, we can still state that the simultaneous use of kinesiotherapy together with physiotherapy could provide promising results for patients diagnosed with this syndrome.

It is essential to study the evolution of each science over time because it generates valid conclusions for both the present and the future. The research of the past represents the primary source of documentation and information regarding the perspectives of development in each field. This paper manifests a two-fold purpose. The first is to prove that the science of recovery by movement, though young in many respects, has a millenary existence with the most outstanding scientists contributing to its progress. Moreover, through this paper, I aimed to support a change in the paradigm regarding the place and mission of physical exercise as a theoretical and practical field of study. The second purpose is to point it out as a response to a social need, namely prophylaxis and treatment. Hence, it manifests as a field of the concrete, not of the abstract.

The strategic model for planning the motor recovery process of preschoolers diagnosed with infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) consists in substantiating the methodological content of recovery process of their motor functions, through the interaction and systematization of the means of physical education in association with those of kinetotherapeutic recovery, a fact that would ensure the necessary premises for the successful adaptation of the children from the respective contingent to the subsequent school, usual and general social conditions. The recovery process is to be determined, on the one hand, by the character and degree of deviation (distortion, underdevelopment) of motor activity, and on the other hand, by the motor development goals, to be achieved. For effective treatment of motor disorders of preschoolers with infantile cerebral palsy is rational to use the systemic approach, oriented towards the proposed goals, which involves the complex action of physical exercises both on the basic physiological systems of the child's body and on the development of his motor capacities, via the formation of a rational scheme of movement.

Abstract Little is known about how PE teachers respond to the particularities of certain institutional pressures. Such knowledge is needed to start a discussion on how external expectations are managed by PE teachers, who in turn make internal adaptions (e.g. change in teaching elements, schedules, feedback models, work teams) that create organisational principles. Such insights might ultimately help shed new light on the origin of unintended consequences arising from policy transformation. In this study, I explored how PE teachers respond to institutional pressures embedded in policy implementation by answering the following research question: What types of responses to multiple institutional logics can be interpreted from PE teachers’ narratives about policy implementation? I utilised an institutional logics approach to analyse the data collected from 16 semistructured interviews with Swedish PE teachers. The results showed that PE teachers respond in four ways: (a) compliance, (b) defiance, (c) compartmentalisation, and (d) combination. In addition, I discuss how PE teachers negotiate competing institutional pressures and point to aspects in the organisation of teaching that are direct consequences of this process.

Abstract The Norwegian civil society holds a welfare mandate to promote the integration of migrants. Included in this mandate is a belief that sport holds a particular potential to facilitate integration. Voluntary sports clubs are perceived as open, democratic, and inclusive arenas in which children and youth can form togetherness and community building regardless of social background. This notion is reflected in national policy documents, stating that today’s sports policy is expected to reflect the diversity of Norwegian society. Leaning on different and critical perspectives on sports-related integration, this study will explore how voluntary football clubs in Norway translate their political mandate of integrating migrant children and youth and discuss the potential impacts of different perceptions and practices of integration. Nine directors of inclusion of different demographical areas in one of the largest cities in Norway were interviewed. The result seems to trace different discourses and types of integration policies, illustrating how sports clubs translate their integration mandate. Both functional and moral approaches were identified, and the study demonstrates how migrants encounter different opportunities and conditions to be integrated into sports as well as other social spheres of the civil society.

Fencing is a sport that relies primarily on speed and coordination. These two elements allow the fencer to achieve his goal, which is to strike his opponent without being struck. The actions performed in the context of fencing require motor skills that fencers learn while training and they must aim at a target. This study aims to review the scientific literature to see the need and benefits of using the Favero EFT-1, as both a training and testing tool. Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched in order to find the original research studies which used this device in any form. The selected articles were written in English and were accessible in full-text. Finally, 9 articles were introduced in this study for the detailed analysis. Two ways of using this apparatus were found: for testing the speed of reaction and the accuracy of the shot, and as a method to improve the various forms of speed as the apparatus was introduced into the development program of this quality. In conclusion, we can say that this apparatus is very important in the domain of fencing because we can get some accurate data on the reaction speed of the strike; it is also a valid method to develop the speed as the results of studies are positive in terms of its improvement.

A high prevalence of postural deviations is confirmed by the literature and considering the risk factors that can manifest in adolescents, an efficient method of intervention, that can be used on every type of patient, is important to be available to the therapist, taking into account the lack of a pro-active behaviour dominant in today society. The purpose of this study is to check if the therapeutic intervention carried out through manual techniques can improve the body alignment at the level of the spine. The subjects of this study were 20 14 to 16 years old high school students, from which 8 females and 12 males. Materials and method: The participants were evaluate using the KINEOD posturograph that utilizes infrared acquisition technology to provide a complete 3D postural analysis. An intervention program based on osteopathic manual technics, made by 10 sessions, was applied over a course of 3 months, and then the participants were reevaluated. The data received from the software of the KINEOD posturograph was analyzed and interpreted statistically, and the results were presented as tables and graphs. Conclusions: Results indicate that the intervention program used generated a numerical positive outcome in all four parameters evaluated, and in 2 of them the difference is statistically significative (“Shoulder imbalance” – P=0.007, “C7 deviation - Barré Vertical” – P= 0.049). From this we can conclude that manual technics can be used successfully in correction of the posture at spinal level.
