Percutaneous Electrolysis for Patellar Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Góngora Rodríguez, Jorge Manuel; Rosety Rodríguez, Miguel Ángel; Fernández Santos, Jorge del Rosario; Ayala Martínez, Carmen María; Góngora Rodríguez, Jorge Manuel Patellar tendinopathy is a chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by localized pain and functional impairment. This systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis aimed to synthesize current evidence on the effectiveness of percutaneous electrolysis (PE), combined with eccentric exercise, for improving functional performance in individuals with patellar tendinopathy. Following PRISMA guidelines and registration in PROSPERO (CRD420251233971), comprehensive searches were performed in Cochrane Library, PEDro, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Only two randomized controlled trials, published between 2016 and 2021, met the eligibility criteria and were included in the quantitative synthesis. Functional capacity recorded using the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Patella (VISA-P) scale was the primary outcome. Both included studies presented some concerns regarding risk of bias. The pooled random-effects meta-analysis (REML estimation with Hartung–Knapp–Sidik–Jonkman adjustment) revealed no statistically significant difference favoring PE over control interventions (Hedges’ g = –0.10; 95% CI: –2.69 to 2.50; p = 0.72). Statistical heterogeneity was nominally low (I2 = 0%), although this metric is uninformative with only two studies. Between-group differences in both studies were below the minimal clinically important difference for the VISA-P scale. The certainty of evidence according to the GRADE framework was rated as very low. Given the extremely limited evidence base, these findings should be considered strictly exploratory. The very low certainty of evidence precludes definitive conclusions regarding the comparative effectiveness of PE. Larger, adequately powered randomized trials with standardized protocols and long-term follow-up are needed.

Creative dance combined with strength training improves functional agility under single and dual task conditions in women with fibromyalgia Melo-Alonso, Maria; Villafaina, Santos; Padilla Moledo, María del Carmen; Martinez-Sanchez, Almudena; Bohn, Lucimiere; Leon-Llamas, Juan Luis; Gusi, Narcis Introduction Women with fibromyalgia exhibit impairments in gait, balance, and functional capacity, which are exacerbated under dual task conditions and may increase fall risk. Multicomponent interventions that integrate motor and cognitive demands may be particularly beneficial for this population. Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a six-week multicomponent program combining creative dance and strength training on physical fitness and gait agility under single and dual task conditions in women with fibromyalgia. Methods A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted in women with fibromyalgia assigned to an exercise group (n = 17) or a control group (n = 16). The exercise group participated in two supervised sessions per week for six weeks, while the control group continued their usual activities. Mobility, strength, balance, and gait agility under single and dual task conditions were assessed using mixed linear models. Results A significant group*time interaction was observed for the Timed Up and Go test, indicating greater improvements in functional agility in the exercise group under single task conditions. Under dual task conditions, significant group*time interactions were found in the stop-and-go phases of the Agility Challenge for the Elderly, reflecting improved gait agility during movement initiation and termination. No significant between group differences were observed for other strength or balance outcomes. Conclusion A multicomponent intervention combining creative dance program and strength training may improve functional agility under single task conditions and gait performance under dual task conditions in women with fibromyalgia.

Aprendizaje físicamente activo mediante codocencia en educación secundaria: efectividad, implementación y sostenibilidad del programa ACTIVA-MENTE Pulido-Gil, José María; Moreno-Casado, Héctor; González Pérez, María; Grao Cruces, Alberto; Sánchez Oliva, David Este estudio evalúa la efectividad percibida, la implementación y sostenibilidad del programa ACTIVA-MENTE, una iniciativa institucional diseñada para integrar el aprendizaje físicamente activo en educación secundaria, mediante un modelo de codocencia entre el profesorado de Educación Física y docentes de otras áreas. Con un enfoque cualitativo interpretativo, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales con equipos directivos, profesorado y alumnado de 10 institutos públicos de Extremadura (España). Los hallazgos mostraron que los participantes percibieron las clases físicamente activas como una herramienta eficaz para mejorar la motivación, implicación y bienestar emocional del alumnado, así como facilitadoras del aprendizaje. En la implementación, la codocencia actuó como el motor de la innovación, aunque su despliegue se vio condicionado por barreras organizativas, especialmente la disponibilidad de tiempo formal de coordinación y la distribución de responsabilidades. En términos de sostenibilidad, la continuidad del programa dependerá de la integración institucional en el centro, la estabilidad de las plantillas, la formación en servicio y el reconocimiento de las condiciones de trabajo necesarias para evitar que el modelo dependa del voluntarismo. En conjunto, ACTIVA-MENTE se perfila como un modelo de innovación capaz de articular estructura organizativa, acción pedagógica y cultura colaborativa hacia una escuela más activa y saludable.

Royal Observatory of Navy in San Fernando, Spain Muñoz Rey, Yolanda The Royal Observatory of Navy in San Fernando (ROA),1 in its more than 250 years of uninterrupted scientific activity, was the first Astronomical Observatory in Spain and has been and remains one of the most important scientific institutions in the country.2 Integrated into the structure of the Spanish Navy within the Science/Culture Section, it is an institution with a rich history and significant historical astronomical value. Its main activities include Astronomy, Geophysics, and the Time Section. Overall, the combination of its astronomical services, its valuable historical collections of books, documents, and instruments, and its historic role in determining time position the ROA, as a key institution for research and the enhancement of historical astronomical heritage, which, in this case, is fully preserved in situ and contextualized. Today, the ROA is opening to new forms of scientific and cultural dissemination to the public and historical research to highlight its values.
