A Reflection on the State of Sport Coaching Research, Its Community, and Representation: The 2020 International Council for Coaching Excellence Research Committee

This article provides an overview of the context, details, and outcomes of a consultation and review of the International Council for Coaching Excellence’s interactions and engagements with, and service provision to, the international sport coaching research community. The consultation and review were undertaken by the International Council for Coaching Excellence Research Committee (RC). The paper starts with a description of the sport coaching research landscape. It then provides details of the role of the International Council for Coaching Excellence, its Research Fair, and RC. The paper then offers an overview of the formal initiation of the consultation and review at the Global Coach Conference, Japan 2019, as well as a brief overview of the approach used. It then details the consultation findings providing direction for the RC moving forward. The resultant revised RC terms of reference are included as an appendix

Serra do Navio, Guiana Shield lowland area, Brazil: a region with high diversity of Squamata

The Guiana Region is the area bordered by the Orinoco and Negro rivers to the west, by the Amazonas River to the south and by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and east. This area is a biogeographic unit known as the Guiana Shield, with a variety of landscapes. Located in the extreme north of Brazil, in the Guiana Shield lowlands, the state of Amapá presents great diversity of habitats. In this study we provide composition and diversity data of the Squamata from Serra do Navio (SN) region, in the northeastern part of the state of Amapá, Brazil, a lowland area of the Guiana Shield. The species list was based on data obtained from herpetological collections and collection expeditions carried out at 10 sites in the municipalities of Pedra Branca do Amapari and Serra do Navio. We consider literature data from 14 sites and SN data to compare the composition of herpetofauna between the lowland and highland areas in the Brazilian Amazon.We recorded 95 species, including 57 snakes, 36 lizards, and two species of amphisbaenians. Atractus aboiporu, A. trefauti, and Erythrolamprus rochai were described from the data collected in this study. The Squamata community of SN consists mainly of diurnal lizards and nocturnal snakes, with terrestrial and cryptozoic habits, present in pristine and altered environments. The most abundant species of lizard and snake were Loxopholis guianense and Atractus latifrons, respectively. The SN region has 17 exclusive Squamata species, with a fauna similar to the Tumucumaque Mountains and northern Pará sites, geographically closer regions with similar altitudes.Asociación Herpetológica Argentin

Nonlinear Pedagogy and the implications for teaching and training in table tennis

It is to propose a game-based and player-centred approach to teaching table tennis using nonlinear pedagogy insights. Methods: This is an essay which offers a well-reasoned articulated nonlinear pedagogy perspective on coaching and teaching table tennis issues Results: It offers the description of a propose based on a player-centred and game-based approach for table tennis supported by nonlinear pedagogy, illustrating examples of how to apply nonlinear pedagogical principles to design representative learning tasks in order to adapt them to learners’ skills level. Conclusion: A novel perspective for teaching and training table tennis is presented here and we intend that this proposal may help coaches to design an effective learning environment251sem informaçãosem informaçã

Levantamento de raças do agente causador do míldio da alface no Estado de São Paulo em 2012 e 2013

RESUMO A alface é, entre as hortaliças folhosas, a mais importante economicamente para o Brasil. No inverno, com baixas temperaturas e com molhamento foliar, o míldio da alface, doença causada pelo agente etiológico Bremia lactucae, ocorre em praticamente todas as regiões de cultivo desta hortaliça, sendo considerada uma das doenças foliares mais severas da cultura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as raças de B. lactucae no ano de 2012 e 2013 que ocorreram nas principais regiões produtoras do Estado de São Paulo, como: Ribeirão Preto, Jaboticabal, Pirangi, Catanduva, São José do Rio Preto, Atibaia, Salesópolis, Biritiba Mirim, Mogi das Cruzes, Campinas, Itapira, Mogi Mirim, Cândido Mota, Presidente Prudente, Echaporã, Assis, Marília, Botucatu e Bauru. Durante o mês de julho/agosto de 2012 e 2013, coletaram-se amostras de folhas de alface com sintomas de míldio, sendo que, em cada amostra coletada, as estruturas do patógeno referiram-se a um isolado. Os esporângios foram multiplicados na cultivar suscetível Solaris, com posterior inoculação nas cultivares diferenciadoras, realizando-se as avaliações no 12º dia do aparecimento da primeira esporulação na cultivar suscetível ‘Green Tower’ (Dm-0), conforme o código “Sextet”. Em 2012, foi determinado dois novos códigos, identificando duas novas raças, SPBl:10 (63/31/02/00) e SPBl:11 (63/63/18/00). Em 2013, uma nova codificação foi determinada (63/31/18/00), à qual propôs a denominação de SPBl:12. Os genes Dm-14 e Dm-15, e os fatores de resistência FR-17, FR-18, FR-36, FR-37 e FR-38 conferem resistência a essas novas raças identificadas. Recomenda-se, portanto, em programas de melhoramento genético de alface, a utilização dos fatores FR-17, FR-18 e FR-38 como fontes de resistência para novas cultivares desenvolvidas para cultivo no Estado de São Paulo, por conferirem resistência a todas as 12 raças já identificadas
