El objetivo principal de esta investigación es analizar el efecto en el estado de ánimo de jugadoras de baloncesto, a través de la práctica de actividad física gamificada durante la etapa de confinamiento debido a la COVID-19. La muestra utilizada fue de 26 jugadoras de tres categorías diferentes: infantil, juvenil y senior, con una media de edad de 16.65 (±3.84) años. Para analizar el efecto sobre el estado de ánimo, se realizó un estudio cuasi-experimental a través de un estudio con un pretest, una intervención y un postest final, proporcionando el cuestionario de Profile of Mood States (POMS) antes y después de cada sesión. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron mejoras en el estado de ánimo, disminuyendo los valores que se relacionan con estados emocionales negativos. Durante etapas de confinamiento, es importante aportar programas de actividad física para mejorar la salud mental de las jugadoras de baloncesto, las cuales están acostumbradas a una práctica de actividad física regular. Abstract. The main objective of this research is to analyze the effect on the mood of female basketball players, through the practice of gamified physical activity during the confinement stage due to COVID-19. The sample used was 26 players from three different categories: U14, U18 and senior, with an average age 16.65 (3.84) years. To analyze the effect on the players' mood, a quasi-experimental study was conducted through a pretest, an intervention and a final posttest, providing the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire before and after each session. The results obtained showed improvements in the players' mood was produced due to the practice of gamified physical activity, decreasing the values that are related to negative emotional states.

The Impact

IntroductionRecent systematic reviews have highlighted the dearth of evidence on the effectiveness of regeneration on health and health inequalities. ‘Communities First’ is an area-wide regeneration scheme to improve the lives of people living in the most deprived areas in Wales (UK). This study will evaluate the impact of Communities First on residents’ mental health and social cohesion.Methods and analysisA prospective controlled quasi-experimental study of the association between residence in Communities First regeneration areas in Caerphilly county borough and change in mental health and social cohesion. The study population is the 4226 residents aged 18–74 years who responded to the Caerphilly Health and Social Needs Study in 2001 (before delivery) and 2008 (after delivery of Communities First). Data on the location, type and cost of Communities First interventions will be extracted from records collected by Caerphilly county borough council. The primary outcome is the change in mental health between 2001 and 2008. Secondary outcomes are changes: in common mental disorder case status (using survey and general practice data), social cohesion and mental health inequalities. Multilevel models will examine change in mental health and social cohesion between Communities First and control areas, adjusting for individual and household level confounding factors. Further models will examine the effects of (1) different types of intervention, (2) contamination across areas, (3) length of residence in a Communities First area, and (4) population migration. We will carry out a cost-consequences analysis to summarise the outcomes generated for participants, as well as service utilisation and utility gains.Ethics and disseminationThis study has had approval from the Information Governance Review Panel at Swansea University (Ref: 0266 CF). Findings will be disseminated through peer-review publications, international conferences, policy and practice partners in local and national government, and updates on our study website (http://medicine.cardiff.ac.uk/clinical-study/communities-first-regeneration-programme/).
