Los informes de la WHO (2017) y del USA Department of Health and Human Services (2018) senalan que el riesgo se reduce cuando se realizan 150-300 minutos semanales de actividad fisica (AF) aerobica de intensidad moderada o, al menos; 75-150 minutos semanales de trabajo aerobico de intensidad vigorosa; trabajo de equilibrio y prevencion de caidas y actividades de fortalecimiento muscular. Cuando las personas mayores no pueden hacer las cantidades recomendadas de AF debido a su estado de salud, deben intentarlo tanto como lo permitan sus capacidades y condiciones. Una de las formas de fomentar la practica de AF es el uso de espacios publicos al aire libre seguros y de facil acceso. Una estrategia cada vez mas popular es la instalacion de gimnasios al aire libre (GAL). Se realizo una revision sistematica para conocer el perfil de los usuarios mayores de estas instalaciones en la literatura cientifica (Web of Science -todas las bases de datos-, Scopus, SportDiscus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library Plus, PubMed, Proquest Dissertations and Theses, y Google Scholar). Se obtuvieron 17.035 resultados y solo 22 estudios cumplieron los criterios de seleccion. La mayoria de los usuarios mayores de GAL son mujeres; casados; con ingresos medios, estudios secundarios, viven cerca y son fisicamente activos en el tiempo libre. Van a los GAL entre tres y cinco dias por semana y el porcentaje de mayores asistentes observado es muy bajo. Curiosamente, su salud percibida es buena, pero tienen sobrepeso u obesidad, se medicaban y muchos de los usuarios padecian enfermedades cronicas. EnglishAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2013, 2017), physical inactivity is identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. WHO (2017) and the USA Department of Health and Human Services (2018) reports say risk reductions routinely occur with moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (PA) levels of at least 150-300 minutes per week or, at least 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic throughout the week; balance training and fall prevention and musclestrengthening activities. When seniors cannot do the recommended amounts of PA due to health conditions, they should try as much as their abilities and conditions allow. One of the ways to stimulate the practice of PA is the use of safe and easily accessible outdoor public spaces. An increasingly popular strategy is the installation of outdoor gyms. A systematic review was conducted to know the senior users profile of these facilities. An exhaustive scientific literature review was made on research databases (Web of Science -all databases-, Scopus, SportDiscus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library Plus, PubMed, Proquest Dissertations and Theses, and Google Scholar). 17,035 results were gathered, and only 22 studies met the selection criteria. The highest frequency of OGs older users are female; married; with medium income, high school, live close to OGs and physically active on leisure time. They use the OGs between three to five times per week and, the percentage of elderly people observed is very low. Curiously, their perceived health is good, but they are overweight or obese, they are medicated and many users suffer from chronic diseases.

Se ha utilizado el test sit and reach (SR), el mas usado en ambientes escolares, ya que su realizacion es simple. En la edad escolar diversos autores han encontrado una alta prevalencia de acortamiento isquiosural. Este ha sido asociado con diversas patologias de la columna vertebral y con el dolor de espalda. Las feminas tienen mejor flexibilidad media que los varones y ademas esta disminuye con la edad. Se analizan las significaciones del efecto principal y las interacciones, pudiendo afirmar que existe interaccion entre la flexibilidad con sexo, edad y tipo de actividad deportiva realizada. Excepto los chicos que hacen taekwondo, los sedentarios muestran mejor indice de flexibilidad que los que practican baloncesto, futbol y atletismo. Existen diferencias significativas en los niveles de flexibilidad al 95 % de confianza, entre los alumnos que practican futbol y atletismo, futbol y sedentarios, futbol y taekwondo. EnglishThe aim of this study is determine the degree of hamstring flexibility in primary school students in order to know whether extracurricular sport practiced would have an effect on it (flexibility). The Sit-and-Reach Test (SR) was employed because it is the most commonly used in school environments due to the fact that it is easy to carry out. Various authors have noted a high prevalence of shortened hamstrings in school aged children, a condition associated with a variety of pathologies related to the spinal column and back pain. Girls have on average greater flexibility than boys, although this flexibility decreases with age. We can confirm that there is interaction between flexibility, sex, age and type of sport activity practised. Except in the case of boys involved in Taekwondo, those who are sedentary demonstrate greater levels of flexibility than those who play basketball or football or those who participate in gymnastics/athletics.

Las posibilidades educativas del trabajo con palas son idoneas por su adaptacion a cualquier elemento formal o informal (Bayer, 1986) del deporte (tipo de terreno, dimensiones del campo, reglas, tipo de palas, tamano o densidad de las pelotas, numero de jugadores, red o no red, etc). Durante los cursos 06-07 y 07-08, se analizaron las actividades extraescolares de un total de 29 y 28 Centros de Ensenanza de la Provincia de Malaga, con la finalidad de conocer el empleo que del juego de las palas se hace en estos Centros. EnglishIn this current study is described whether the pedagogic possibilities of using paddleball as an extracurricular activity and in the programmes are fully exploited in primary schools settings within the province of Malaga. Paddleball is an ideal game in terms of its educational possibilities. It is so adaptable to formal and informal sports elements (Bayer, 1986) like the type of surface, dimensions of the field, rules, types of paddles, the size or density of the balls, number of players, whether a net is used or not, etc.During the courses 06-07 and 07-08, the extracurricular activities in a total of 29 and 28 Teaching Centres respectively, in Malaga province, were analysed, in order to understand how paddleball is incorporated at these centres.

For this purpose relevant studies were searched from seven electronic databases dated up through December 2012. Primary outcomes of criterion-related validity were Pearson´s zero-order correlation coefficients (r) between sit-and-reach tests and hamstrings and/or lumbar extensibility criterion measures. Then, from the included studies, the Hunter- Schmidt´s psychometric meta-analysis approach was conducted to estimate population criterion- related validity of sit-and-reach tests. Firstly, the corrected correlation mean (rp), unaffected by statistical artefacts (i.e., sampling error and measurement error), was calculated separately for each sit-and-reach test. Subsequently, the three potential moderator variables (sex of participants, age of participants, and level of hamstring extensibility) were examined by a partially hierarchical analysis. Of the 34 studies included in the present meta-analysis, 99 correlations values across eight sit-and-reach tests and 51 across seven sit-and-reach tests were retrieved for hamstring and lumbar extensibility, respectively. The overall results showed that all sit-and-reach tests had a moderate mean criterion-related validity for estimating hamstring extensibility (rp = 0.46-0.67), but they had a low mean for estimating lumbar extensibility (rp = 0. 16-0.35). Generally, females, adults and participants with high levels of hamstring extensibility tended to have greater mean values of criterion-related validity for estimating hamstring extensibility. When the use of angular tests is limited such as in a school setting or in large scale studies, scientists and practitioners could use the sit-and-reach tests as a useful alternative for hamstring extensibility estimation, but not for estimating lumbar extensibility. Key PointsOverall sit-and-reach tests have a moderate mean criterion-related validity for estimating hamstring extensibility, but they have a low mean validity for estimating lumbar extensibility.Among all the sit-and-reach test protocols, the Classic sit-and-reach test seems to be the best option to estimate hamstring extensibility.End scores (e.g., the Classic sit-and-reach test) are a better indicator of hamstring extensibility than the modifications that incorporate fingers-to-box distance (e.g., the Modified sit-and-reach test).When angular tests such as straight leg raise or knee extension tests cannot be used, sit-and-reach tests seem to be a useful field test alternative to estimate hamstring extensibility, but not to estimate lumbar extensibility.
