The purpose of this study was to assess current perceptions of strength and conditioning coaches’ use of sled towing (ST) as part of their training programs. One-hundred and twenty-five coaches responded to a survey of their ST practices. Themes investigated included the primary purpose and usefulness of using ST, the loads used in short and long distances, rest times between sprints, total volume of ST sprints per session, frequency of ST activity each month, and whether coaches engaged in force-velocity profiling in ST sprints. Eighty percent of coaches either agreed or strongly agreed that ST is a useful intervention tool for improving athletic performance. Speed strength was the physiological adaptation most sought after to improve ( n = 75) followed by power ( n = 72). Bodyweight (BW) loads of 20% were the most common across all distances. The two most common rest times given between each ST repetition were one to two minutes ( n = 37) and two to three minutes ( n = 37). The most common volume responses for individual training sessions were five to eight sprints ( n = 52) and three to five times per month, respectively. These data suggest strength and conditioning coaches view ST as an integral part of programming, primarily use loads of 20% BW for both short and long sprints and seek to optimize a number of different physiological adaptations. The majority of coaches have a favorable view of ST (88%); however, current training parameters used by strength and conditioning coaches may be inadequate to achieve their desired adaptations.

ABSTRACT Background Parenting issues can affect physicians' choice of specialty or subspecialty, as well as their selection of individual training programs, because of the distinctive challenges facing residents and fellows with children. Specific information about how residents perceive these challenges is limited. Objective We sought to better understand the challenges associated with parenting during residency and fellowship training in order to inform policy and research. Methods In 2017, a voluntary online questionnaire was distributed to all 2214 Partners HealthCare graduate medical education trainees across 285 training programs. The survey queried attitudes of and about trainees with children and assessed needs and experiences related to parental leave, lactation, and childcare. Responses were compared between subgroups, including gender, surgical versus nonsurgical specialty, parental status, and whether the respondent was planning to become a parent. Results A total of 578 trainees (26%) responded to the questionnaire. Of these, 195 (34%) became parents during training. An additional 298 (52%) planned to become parents during training. Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that their institution should support trainees with children (95%) and that doing so is important for trainee wellness (98%). However, 25% felt that trainees with children burden trainees without children. Childcare access, affordability, and availability for sufficient hours were identified as key challenges, along with issues related to parental leave, lactation facilities, and effect on peers. Conclusions This survey highlights trainees' perspectives about parenting during their clinical training, signaling parental leave, lactation facilities, and childcare access and affordability as particular challenges and potential targets for future interventions.

Les Muses est une école située à Montréal offrant l’un des seuls programmes de formation professionnelle au Canada pour les artistes ayant un handicap intellectuel. Durant l'hiver et le printemps 2015, j'ai travaillé avec Les Muses pour explorer la complexité de leur formation créative, en particulier comment les différences cognitives et physiques sont prises en charge et valorisées dans la salle de classe. Mon intérêt pour ce processus était double: a) comprendre de quelles manières le handicap était présenté comme étant esthétiquement productif, et b) le genre de legs artistiques que les étudiants de Les Muses laissent dans le monde des arts de la scène québécois. En utilisant mon travail sur le terrain, cet article porte sut l’«approche atypique » soit la manière dont Les Muses utilise le handicap comme un outil créatif et significatif dans la classe pour s'assurer que tous les élèves participent au maximum et de la manière artistique la plus stimulante possible. J’ai choisi le mot «atypique» pour refléter le mouvement actuel au Québec qui reconnaît la valeur artistique importante des artistes non conventionnels que sont ceux et celles qui ont des différences cognitives et physiques. Les Muses, located in Montréal, Québec, is one of Canada's only professional performance training programs for developmentally disabled artists. During the winter and spring of 2015, I worked with Les Muses to explore the complexities of their creative training, in particular how different cognitive styles and physicalities are supported and valued in the classroom. My interest in this process was two fold: a) to understand in what ways disability was being presented as aesthetically productive, and b) the kind of artistic legacies students from Les Muses are leaving in the Quebec performance industry. Using parts of my fieldwork, this article discusses in what ways Les Muses uses disability as a creatively meaningful tool in the classroom-- something of which I will deem the "atypique approah"--to ensure all students are participating in the fullest and most artistically engaging way possible.  I choose the word "atypique" to reflect the current movement in Québec that is calling forth the important artistic value of cognitively and physically unconventional artists.

Game Mechanics

The concept of gamification uses the human behavior of indulging in gaming activities and combines it with their work with the purpose of enhancing, employee engagement. Game mechanics and dynamics are able to positively influence human behavior because they are designed to drive the players above the activation threshold. Achievements, appointments, bonuses, levels, points are some of the game mechanics which are used for influencing human behavior and human desires. These human desires have been referred to as game dynamics. The applications of Gamification range from being useful in the internal organizational processes of recruitment, employee recognition, employee performance, training programs, wellness and safety as well as customer oriented applications of building brand loyalty, enhancing customer satisfaction and engagement. This research paper aims to review this emerging concept, its literature and theoretical development along with a highlight on the present applications of gamification and their role in enhancing engagement and motivation of the users.
