‘The enemy was within
This study implements the Activist Approach to support the young players of a girls’ football team in analysing the challenges that condition their sports practice, with the aim of negotiating them and, if possible, overcoming them. In the field of sport, especially in traditionally male-dominated sports such as football, women still face sociocultural and personal barriers that perpetuate existing gender inequalities. Drawing on poststructuralis…
Developing social and school facilitators for a positive school transition through a Sport Education and Service-Learning programme
Background: The transition from primary school to secondary school has negative effects on a significant part of the student body, such as a substantial decrease in self-esteem, motivation, academic performance and the risk of bullying and school dropout school. Social support and school factors are positively associated with transition success; thus, they need to be strengthened in transition programmes. In this sense, the application of pedagog…
A salutogenic and activist strengths-based approach
Salutogenic strengths-based approaches (SbAs) are progressively being introduced in Health and Physical Education curricula. A salutogenic SbA focuses more on the promotion of healthy living than on preventing illness, views healthy living as multi-dimensional (social, mental, spiritual, environmental and community), acknowledges humans as active agents, and considers health as an important prerequisite for living a good life. This article examin…
If agreement is pronominal there is no pro-drop
Using Irish, Spanish and English data, I argue that the null subject phenomenon is modulated by the presence/absence of unvalued φ-features in the clausal structure. This analysis is contrasted with the two most influential analyses so far: (i) The ellipsis analysis, according to which a null subject is a deleted pronoun and (ii) the rich inflection analysis, according to which an inflection with overt exponents for person and number can license …

Challenges of implementing an Activist Approach with a young women’s football team
Background The Activist Approach is a pedagogical approach that includes a wide range of possibilities to understand girls’ needs during their physical activity practice. However, the teachers or coaches who implement this approach must be aware that in the process they will face multiple challenges, such as managing the uncertainty generated by the transfer of power to the participants or the critical reflection on their own beliefs and practice…
Impacto de un programa de aprendizaje-servicio y educación deportiva sobre la competencia social y los aprendizajes
El desarrollo de la competencia social (CS) se ha convertido en una prioridad para legisladores, educadores e investigadores. Entre las diferentes metodologías que han incidido positivamente sobre la CS destacan tanto el modelo pedagógico de Educación Deportiva (MED) como el Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS). El objetivo de este estudio fueconocer el impacto de un programa (MED-ApS) que hibridó ApS con el MED sobre la CS y los aprendizajes del alumnado.…
Coaches’ perceptions of sport education
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate coaches’ perceptions of using sport education (SE) for the first time with socially vulnerable children in order to explore its suitability for equipping young people living in precarity with the skills they need to take positive action to challenge their socially vulnerable backgrounds. In doing so, we want to explore what experiences of learning to use SE these coaches had and what their perspect…
Enhancing sport education experiences through service-learning
In this study, we explore the extent to which service-learning (SL) can enhance the educational potential of sport education (SE), with a view to contributing to a positive transition for students from primary to secondary school. Seventeen teachers and 435 eleven- to sixteen-year-olds across five SE networks participated in this study, in which an SL experience was embedded in the SE season. All the networks included one intact group of secondar…
Emotion Dysregulation as a Mediator of the Relationship between Anxiety, Compulsive Exercise and Eating Disorder Symptoms in Adolescents
Anxiety has been suggested to be a key contributing factor for compulsive exercise, however, existing literature has demonstrated contradictory relationships between anxiety and compulsive exercise among adolescents. According to the Emotional Cascade Model (ECM), factors such as rumination and emotional suppression may mediate the association between affect and exercise. The current study therefore aimed to investigate whether rumination and emo…
Empowering children from socially vulnerable backgrounds through the use of roles in sport education
Sport and physical education are considered a powerful tool to empower children from socially vulnerable backgrounds (SVB). The purpose of this study was to analyse coaches’ perceptions of the effect of the Sport Education (SE) pedagogical model, and use of the allocation of roles beyond player in particular, on the empowerment of children from SVB who participated in a community-based programme. Participants included three coaches, the lead rese…
Adoption and fidelity of Sport Education in Spanish schools
The main objectives of this study were to determine the percentage of teachers applying the Sport Education (SE) model in a central region of Spain and to identify the features these teachers perceived they were using when applying it. As a secondary objective, an attempt was made to respond to the differences in the application of the model depending on the educational stage and gender, and to determine any differences between the curriculum fea…
The role of transfer in games teaching
The purpose of this paper is to critically review and evaluate the significance for curriculum planning in PE of studies focused on transfer of tactical knowledge. The conceptual foundation and focus of research that has investigated transfer in learning across games and sports is explored. Selected studies are systematically analysed in relation to the particular dimension of transfer examined and evidence generated to support a case for curricu…
Investigación y enseñanza técnico-táctica en el fútbol. (Research and Teaching of Techniques and Tactics in Invasion Games. Implementation in Soccer)
In spite of scientific and technological advances of the second half of 20 th century and the beginning of 21 st century, soccer regrets to incorporate them in its teaching and learning processes. Because of this, different factors that influence on the teaching of techniques and tactics in invasion games, mainly in soccer, need a deep analysis in order to direct coaches' decision making in the planning and task design process to develop these co…
