Resumen
Existe una gran problemática dentro de los salones de clases en donde se puede apreciar que las metodologías que se utilizan en las clases de educación física no siempre pueden ser las correctas, ya que se deja de lado el trabajo de fuerza explosiva, lo que evita que los jóvenes puedan tener los beneficios de desarrollar esta capacidad en edades futuras, existe una alternativa propuesta, que es el trabajo de fuerza con la enseñanza del parkour a los jóvenes, esta disciplina aporta varios beneficios a los estudiantes, como lo son un desarrollo de habilidades motrices, capacidades de fuerza, resistencia y crea una base para cualquier deporte que el estudiante practique o vaya a practicar a futuro, mediante una revisión sistemática, tomándose en cuenta criterios metodológicos, se demuestran que las capacidades desarrolladas al practicar parkour y al mejorar su fuerza explosiva indican que los jóvenes pueden ser aptos para cualquier tipo de deporte que requiera el uso de habilidades corporales. Es importante que se tomen en cuenta el desarrollo de estas habilidades en estas edades escolares junto con el trabajo de desarrollo motriz, ya que son etapas formativas en las que los estudiantes pueden alcanzar sus máximas capacidades, lo que conllevará a una vida activa y saludable. Se puede concluir que con el parkour se puede desarrollar significativamente el trabajo de fuerza explosiva, incluso en más cantidad que realizar entrenamiento de gimnasia o de levantamiento de potencia, por lo que es una alternativa válida para trabajar estas capacidades en los jóvenes.

Resumen
The concept of open functions was introduced to capture an intended feature of van Eyck’s seminal play sculptures – they do not suggest a specific action. In a recent study, Van der Schaaf, A. L., S. R. Caljouw, and R. Withagen. (2020. “Are Children Attracted to Play Elements with an Open Function?” Ecological Psychology 32: 79–94) aimed to determine the degree of openness of Parkour play elements by asking participants what behavior children will mainly perform on them. In the present study, we used this method to determine the degree of openness of traditional play elements (e.g. a slide), van Eyck’s play sculptures, and Parkour play elements. In addition, we measured the time participants needed to answer the question of what action children will mainly perform on the different elements. We found that generally the Parkour elements have the highest degree of openness. Interestingly, van Eyck’s play elements appeared not to be that open. Moreover, the reaction time proved to be an alternative measure for the degree of openness.

Resumen
Lifestyle sport activities (e.g. parkour or skateboarding) are considered attractive and beneficial for a long-term commitment to physical activity (PA) and might be a great opportunity for adolescents who do not feel comfortable in an organized or competitive atmosphere. The purpose of the study was to assess whether participation in lifestyle activities is associated with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), out-of-school vigorous physical activity (VPA), and sedentary behaviour in adolescents aged 10–15 years, with major demographic variables (sex, age, socioeconomic status) being taken into account.

Resumen
Microgravity environments present unique movement and perceptual challenges which are most appropriately explored by movement professional. The high cost of microgravity and space endeavors place utilization of the time in those environments at a premium. We have identified techniques which can be practiced on Earth to increase competence of motion and develop a deeper understanding of reorientation of the human body in microgravity. This research has focused on understanding strategies for planning and executing specific movements, which can be explored in precise and low cost ways. A simulator was coded to explore the dynamics of the human body, which allows for visual and numeric calculations of the body’s moment of inertia eigenvectors and center of mass in a variety of positions. The maneuvers were explored with dance, circus, and parkour artists through the use of parabolic flights, pools, and aerial harnesses.

Resumen
Three-dimensional technology. We can see the athlete’s movements from any angle, for example these angles (back and front of the player as well as the corners of the top or the bottom) and we can measure the real angles of any part of the body as these angles express accuracy in the measurement and represent their true values and we can measure Also accurately accelerate linear, angular and on axes (x,y,z). The aim of this study is to compare the main kinematics factors between success and failure attempts in back somersault standing performance of Basra Parkour players. Four players participated in this study. three cameras were used in this study at a rate of 240 images per second. The success movement and failure movement were selected for each player for a three-dimensional analysis, and through the results, it appeared that the path of the attempt to succeed was longer than the attempt at failure in time. The velocity of the hand segment and the maximum velocity in the attempt to succeed were greater than those of the attempt to fail, and this result was an increase in the velocity of the projectile and an increase in the vertical height of the center of mass. When standing up in Event 2, the amount of flexion of the hip and knee joint angle contributed to the optimal state of advancement and at the peak point the hip and knee joint angle was bent to the maximum to reduce the moment of inertia. At this point, too, the higher parties in the attempt to succeed extended more than those in the attempt at failure.

Resumen
El estudio propone valorar las adaptaciones inducidas por un programa de entrenamiento pliométrico y cómo repercute sobre la dirección del entrenamiento denominada como fuerza explosiva en distintos atletas practicantes de Parkour, para lo cual se realizó un estudio muestra con un total de 25 atletas (n=25; edad=28,5±10,5 años; peso=63±11 kg), género masculino. La investigación se llevó a cabo con un grupo que realizo el programa de entrenamiento pliométrico durante ocho semanas (20 sesiones). Se realizaron cuatro test de saltabilidad para la valoración de la fuerza explosiva, para obtener una valoración inicial y final al terminar el programa. Los test que se aplicaron: test de salto de longitud sin carrera de impulso, test de salto de longitud con un paso de carrera de impulso, test de salto de longitud con tres pasos de carrera de impulso, test de saltabilidad vertical, para procesarlos y realizar una valoración del efecto de la fuerza explosiva del tren inferior de los distintos atletas de Parkour. En los atletas se produjo una mejora significativa en la prueba de salto sin carrera de impulso (p=0,000), el salto con un paso (p=0,000) y con tres pasos de carrera de impulso (p=0,000), mientras que en la prueba de saltabilidad vertical el grado de significancia no llegó a los valores que se esperaba (p=0,065). Se concluyó que a grandes rasgos la fuerza explosiva es directamente proporcional a la realización de un entrenamiento pliométrico con una duración de ocho semanas.

Resumen
Domain-specific knowledge guides our attention and thus influences our perception. Prior change-blindness research has shown that expert athletes can spot meaningful scene changes more quickly than novices, but less is known of whether this expertise is modulated differentially between open and closed sporting activities. We presented 81 individuals (20 gymnasts, 19 rock climbers, 22 parkour practitioners, and 20 control participants) with alternating sequences of images that corresponded to the habitual training landscapes of each group (gymnasiums, rock cliffs, and urban environments, respectively). We included contextual and non-contextual scenic changes to evaluate whether athletes were generally aware of their environments, or whether their observation strategies only targeted sport-related environmental elements. Among these three athletic endeavors, we found that gymnasts were faster at detecting changes in their environment, irrespective of whether or not these changes were contextual to the sports involved. Expert rock climbers presented a domain-specific expertise that was improved even further for contextual changes. Parkour practitioners presented the fastest reaction times in the urban environment and some of the best reaction times for all types of changes. These results confirm that an ability to read the environment is an integral aspect of practice in open-skilled sports, while skills of athletes in closed-skilled sports are more closely related to motor skill repetitions in constant environments. Thus, open skill training may benefit athletes’ guidance of attention. Our finding that parkour practitioners appeared to have developed the widest perceptual abilities was probably linked to these athletes’ extremely wide range of practice environments and with the constant demands of this sport to find solutions in random natural environments that that are not purposely designed for the sport.

Resumen
Objective: A high correlation between lower limb explosive power and muscular strength, production of high power levels in the shortest time, and high level of agility are essential to achieve optimal performance in Parkour. It seems that polymetric exercises can make it possible to achieve the highest performance. In this regard, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of an 8-week plyometric exercise program on knee kinematic parameters, body composition, agility and horizontal jumping power of Parkour athletes.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design, 20 elite Parkour athletes aged 19-26 years were selected and randomly divided into two groups of exercise (n=10) and control (n=10). The exercise group carried out the program for eight weeks, three sessions per week, each for one hour. Before and after exercise, measurements of kinematic parameters of knee, agility, and horizontal jumping power, and body composition in subjects were performed. The collected data were analyzed using t-test considering a significant level of P≤0.05.
Results: Plyometric exercise for eight weeks had a significant effect on knee kinematic parameters of Parkour athletes (P=0.003) and significantly improved their horizontal jump, agility and reduced body fat percentage (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: Plyometric exercise can significantly improve kinematic parameters of the knee, increase the jumping power and agility, and reduce body fat percentage in Parkour athletes; however, since Parkour movements are very similar to plyometric exercises, more study is needed.

Resumen
Parkour is a sport based around overcoming obstacles in one's environment with only the human body's abilities. The activity utilises foundational human locomotion patterns, and running is included in the great majority of parkour movements or between applying unique parkour athletic gestures or motor skills. Moreover, running has specific features in parkour, being widely used on a horizontal surface and oblique or vertical surfaces. Although running was a traditional element within parkour training, younger communities tend to focus more on the aesthetic and explosive movements within parkour and do not typically practice distance running of any sort; running as a skill in itself is practised by only a minority of the parkour community worldwide. There is commonly a non-systematic approach to the training, since most parkour practitioners use programming types known as self-regulating programming and project-based programming. Many benefits from introducing running as a regular practice for parkour participants would support and improve any practitioner's general physical preparation-for example, the increase in speed and power. Running on challenging surfaces, such as ground lines, curbs or rails, may improve movement control and increase the safety margin. Running practice could bring many benefits to injury prevention in parkour by increasing dynamic stability and balance, contralateral coordination and maintaining healthy hip function and range of motion. Trail running may also improve ankle, hip and knee coordination and mobility and postural responsiveness, which directly benefits the variability required in parkour.

Resumen
Research has suggested Parkour-style training could act as a donor sport for athlete development in team sports. This study aimed to interrogate expert consensus on the feasibility of integrating Parkour-style training into team sport practice, by employing a three-round, online Delphi method. Talent development and strength and conditioning coaches working in team sport settings were invited to participate. Twenty-four coaches completed Round One, 21 completed Round Two and 20 completed Round Three. In Round One, coaches answered 15 open-ended questions across four categories: (1) General Perceptions of Parkour-style training; (2) Potential Applications of Parkour-style training; (3) Designing and Implementing Parkour-style training Environments; and (4), Creating an Inclusive Learning Environment. Responses from Round One were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis with deductive and inductive coding resulting in 78 statements across three dimensions (Application of Parkour Style Training in Team Sports; Designing and Implementing Parkour-style training Environments; Overcoming Potential Barriers when Integrating Parkour-style training). In Rounds Two and Three, coaches rated these statements using a four-point Likert scale and measures of collective agreement or disagreement were calculated. This study established consensus around a set of design principles for integrating Parkour-style training into team sport practice routines.

Resumen
While ideas from long-term athlete development (LTAD) models have been adopted and integrated across different sports, issues related to early specialization, such as increased risk of injury and burnout, are still common. Although some benefits may be associated with early sport specialization, sports sampling is purported to be a more effective approach to the long-term health and wellbeing of children. Furthermore, the concept of developing what are commonly referred to as "fundamental movement skills" (FMS) is central to the rationale for delaying single sports specialization. However, in place of sports sampling, it appears that the practice of strength and conditioning (S&C) has become a driving force behind developmental models for youth athletes, highlighted by the growing body of literature regarding youth athletic development training. In this perspective piece, we explore how conventional S&C practice may insufficiently develop FMS because typically, it only emphasizes a narrow range of foundational exercises that serve a limited role toward the development of action capabilities in youth athletic populations. We further discuss how this approach may limit the transferability of physical qualities, such as muscular strength, to sports-specific tasks. Through an ecological dynamics lens, and using basketball as an example, we explore the potential for parkour-based activity within the LTAD of youth basketball players. We propose parkour as a training modality to not only encourage movement diversity and adaptability, but also as part of an advanced strength training strategy for the transfer of conventional S&C training.

Resumen
Parkour speed-runs require performers (known as Traceurs) to negotiate obstacles with divergent properties such as angles, inclinations, sizes, surfaces, and textures in the quickest way possible. The quicker the run, the higher the performer is ranked. Performance in Parkour speed-runs may be regulated through Parkour Traceurs' basic movement skill capacities given the physical requirements of the event. This study examined what functional movement skills correlate with Parkour speed-run performance. Nineteen male Parkour Traceurs undertook a physical testing battery inclusive of: agility T-test, maximal grip strength test, and maximal vertical and horizontal jumps across several jump modalities. For the speed-run, Parkour Traceurs navigated an indoor Parkour installation. Pearson's correlation analyses (r) revealed that agility T-test performance showed a significant negative correlation with Parkour speed-run performance, whereas standing long jump and counter movement jump (with and without arm swing) were significantly positively correlated with Parkour speed-run performance. Concurrent with the intrinsically-linked building blocks in the Athletic Skills Model, the data from the present study suggest that performance in Parkour-speed-runs are underpinned by functional movement skills (jumping, running; arm swinging) and conditions of movement (agility), all of which encapsulate elements of basic motor properties (speed; strength). From a practical perspective, the agility T-test, standing long jump, and counter movement jump without and without arm swing can form a basic battery to evaluate the physical effects of Parkour speed-run interventions on functional movement skills.

Resumen
The origin of parkour can be dated back to George Hébert’s studies. It was created in France and quickly spread around the world. This motor discipline is commonly defined as “art du déplacement”, and its aim is to adapt one’s movements to the surrounding environment, both natural and urban. Parkour transforms towns from still and impersonal spaces into places for creativity, learning, and self-knowledge. In fact, a practitioner (before beginning to move) will continuously wonder about his motivations and his physical perceptions, converse with his fears, and look for his psychophysical balance. In 2019, the Italian Ministry of Health invited to consider unstructured activities to promote active life and make individual and collective gratification elements available. With this aim, parkour (as a mainly sensory–motor discipline) is very useful owing to its educational purposes, in particular when children are involved, because their approach to senses is still free from social and family conditioning. Parkour is a movement practice, which requires considerable physical, mental, and emotional training. We discuss the relationship between parkour and edgework (a socio-psychological concept about voluntary risk-taking; Lyng S., 1990) because parkour practitioners are exposed to risks that seem greater than what is socially acceptable. This study analyzes parkour as an outdoor activity, as an expression of flourishing (Nussbaum M, 2007) from the point of view of the urban jungle and as a denunciation of unsuitability of urbanization for the natural needs of the human being. We confirmed that the edgework approach was a very effective tool for practitioners to improve their specific skills and their personal lives. Parkour poses the questions; the practitioner’s aim is to find the answers.

Resumen
In sports science, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has many unknown effects on neuromuscular, psychomotor and cognitive aspects. Particularly, its impact on power performances remains poorly investigated. Eighteen healthy young males, all trained in a jumping sport (parkour) performed three experimental sessions: anodal tDCS applied either on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC, cathode in supraorbital area) or on the primary motor cortex (M1, cathode on contralateral shoulder), and a placebo condition (SHAM), each applied for 20 min at 2 mA. Pre and post, maximal vertical and horizontal jumps were performed, associated to leg neuromuscular assessment through electromyography and peripheral nerve stimulations. Actual and imagined pointing tasks were also performed to evaluate fine motor skills, and a full battery of cognitive and psychomotor tests was administered. M1 tDCS improved jump performance accompanied by an increase in supraspinal and spinal excitabilities. dlPFC stimulation only impacted the pointing tasks. No effect on cognitive tests was found for any of the tDCS conditions. To conclude, the type of performance (maximal versus accurate) affected depended upon the tDCS montage. Finally, athletes responded well to tDCS for motor performance while results to cognitive tests seemed unaffected, at least when implemented with the present rationale.

Resumen
Physical activity is important for improving lifelong health and wellness, yet only a quarter of US children meet physical activity guidelines. Highly competitive youth sports may impact youth dropout and providing alternative options to be active may be a solution. Self-Determination Theory, a psychological theory around the idea of intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation, is an underutilized framework that may be helpful in addressing this issue. We employed a mixed method design to understand how Parkour, an emerging youth sport, may better address psychological needs as defined by Self-Determination Theory. Cross-sectional survey data from 38 children/adolescents (ages 7-17) enrolled in Parkour versus other sports were compared, and 15 of the Parkour participants were individually interviewed to gain a deeper understanding. There were significant differences between the two groups for their motivations and physical activity habits, and the addition of the qualitative data illustrates the potential advantages of Parkour to reach children who may be otherwise uninterested. This study provides an important background for future research into Parkour that has thus far been limited.
