  • Metronome-guided training accelerates the adaptation to an aerobic training pace in swimming

    Open AccessMarco Fassone, Luca Puce et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2025References: 1

    Swimmers often use metronomes during training, but their effectiveness in learning a new swimming pace is unclear. Adapting motor skills to new timing is complex and occurs in stages. This study investigated these stages by assessing the ability of swimmers to reproduce a learned pace without a metronome. In total, 24 participants were divided into two groups. The main group completed 4 days of training/testing and 3 follow-up days. Each training…

  • Surrounded, detached”

    Open AccessMonica Biggio, Andrea Escelsior et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Features of the detachment personality trait include avoidance of interpersonal experiences, restricted affectivity, and suspiciousness, which affect interpersonal functioning. We suggest that DPPS may represent a characteristic feature of maladaptive personality traits, thus constitute a biomarker or a target for rehabilitative interventions

  • Sensorimotor expertise influences perceptual weight judgments during observation of a sport-specific gesture

    Open AccessAndrea Albergoni, Monica Biggio et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2023

    This study aimed to investigate the role of sensorimotor expertise in evaluating relative weight of a lifted object during the observation of a sport-specific gesture, namely the deadlift. Fifty-six participants, assigned to three groups according to their experience in weight lifting, powerlifters, CrossFit® practitioners and naïve participants (controls), performed a perceptual weight judgments task. Participants observed videos showing a power…

  • The metronome-based methodology to monitor the stroke length changes in trained swimmers

    Open AccessMarco Fassone, Ambra Bisio et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2023Cited by: 1References: 58

    The aim of our study was to develop a methodology that uses the metronome to constrain the swimmers' stroke rate with the aim to monitor changes in stroke length (SL) during two different periods of the season. Thirteen young trained swimmers (15.7 ± 1.7 y) performed three 50 m front crawl time trials during pre-season (PRE) and after 2 months, during the in-season period (IN). They were asked: (I) to swim at their maximum intensity (NO-MET condi…

  • Thinking Before Doing

    Open AccessPatrizio Canepa, Antonella Sbragi et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2020References: 2

    Motor imagery (MI), i. e., the mental simulation of an action without its actual execution, is a promising technique to boost motor learning via physical practice in rehabilitation, sport, and educational fields. The purpose of the present pilot study was to test the feasibility and the effectiveness of the application of MI as learning methodology place alongside conventional teaching technique as employed for physical education lessons. Thirty-…
