El deporte es una de las manifestaciones que más atracción ha provocado en la raza humana, no solo por las diferentes formas en que se ha practicado sino por el encantador estilo en que los hombres lo cuentan. Ahí en la originalidad y magia de los que se han superado por dejar en el registro de la historia lo mejor del deporte se encuentra  Juan Antonio Martínez de Osaba Goenaga. Este profesor investigador, fiel defensor  y excelente conocedor del deporte revolucionario, constituye una obligatoria referencia en el momento de abordar cualquier aspecto acerca de la historia de la cultura física y el deporte. Una personalidad a tener en cuenta a la hora de relatar epopeyas del deporte, fundamentalmente si se habla de la pasión de todos los cubanos, el béisbol.

En la actualidad, el interés de los sistemas educativos se sitúa en la gestión del aprendizaje basada en las plataformas virtuales, sobre todo, en cómo se propicia la construcción del conocimiento social desde el e-learning. El propósito de artículo fue aportar a este tema, al reflexionar acerca del comportamiento que tiene la utilización de e- learning en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la cultura física, a partir de un estudio a los profesores de la carrera de Cultura Física, en universidades ecuatorianas. Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa empleando métodos y técnicas que permitieron recopilar información para el respectivo análisis en la carrera de Cultura Física, en la Universidad de Guayaquil, explorando mediante encuesta a docentes y estudiantes, así también observaciones sistemáticas el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las plataforma e-learning y las experiencias de didácticas que se utilizan en la carrera, lo cual ha podido dejar en evidencia aspectos inherente a las posibilidades y limitaciones del e-learning en la enseñanza de la mencionada carrera, puesto que el e-learning ha tenido una amplia recepción en la educación universitaria por cuanto facilita en los estudiantes la apropiación de conocimiento, desarrollo de  habilidades y actitudes que le permitirán desenvolverse en el contexto social.

Education is the process that aims to form the human being in an integral way; this means developing to the maximum the motor, cognitive, personal and social potentialities of individuals in order to be able to fully exercise all the faculties in all areas of life. The aim was to develop basic motor skills in children in the sixth year of life or pre-school age by creating a teaching environment, based on an experience with children in the sixth year of life who attend The Day care centers in La Isla de la Juventud, as well as the formation of habits, basic motor skills and their treatment in the pedagogical process of Physical Education. Research methods were used at the theoretical level: documentary, historical and logical analysis, analysis and synthesis and hypothetical deductive. From the empirical level: survey of educators, observation, interview of educators and the statistical method. The sample was made up of 50 children in the sixth year of life of the "Alegres Mineritos" Day care centers (La Demajagua town), "Edad de Oro" and "Mambisito" (Nueva Gerona). The contribution is given in the development of a teaching aid that allows a more objective control that contributes to the development of basic motor skills (walking, running, jumping and throwing); supporting the other motor skills that give fulfillment to the physical, psychological and intellectual development of the child; it provides a scale of values that can be used in a simple and economic way by the educators. The Multipro teaching aid for the development of basic motor skills in children in the sixth year of life has demonstrated that it not only contributes to the improvement of the development of basic motor skills, but also to the development of creativity through the solution of real situations.

The work presented refers to the importance of having control of the postural deformities that can be seen in 13-15-year-old handball athletes; especially because of the age of these athletes. Its objective is to propose therapeutic exercises for the compensation of postural alterations, treated from the planning of the physical preparation, starting from indications such as the positions and convenient movements, treatment objectives and exercises for each deformity; taking into account the individual characteristics. To carry out the research, theoretical, empirical ( Interview, Documentary Review, Measurement) and statistical methods were used, which made it possible to conclude that the adoption of incorrect postures during training and the intensive use of the musculoskeletal and locomotor systems affects the occurrence of postural alterations that negatively impact on the actions of the athletes under study, highlighting in them kyphosis and knees varuss, hence its compensation and / or correction from the training of physical preparation; therefore, the application of the proposed therapeutic exercises is recommended to verify its effectiveness in order to extend the study to other categories.

Tendinopathy is a major cause of musculoskeletal morbidity. A high incidence of sports-related injuries of 30-50% in professional and recreational athletes, which can compromise sports performance and cause disability. Mostly, it is caused by an alteration in the muscle-tendontium origins in the humeral condyles. In most cases, it is in the working population, so it has a high impact on reducing productivity due to absences from work, which, depending on the severity, can range from days to weeks. The general objective of the research is to propose a complex of physical exercises that will contribute to the recovery of such injury in baseball pitchers. Theoretical and empirical methods were used and the theoretical foundations for the rehabilitation of medial epicondylitis were determined. The information obtained after interviewing the coaches was analyzed in order to characterize the current state of the rehabilitation process for this injury. Based on the results obtained, a set of physical exercises was designed to rehabilitate this injury in the training area. The exercises designed are classified into passive, assisted active, free active, and resisted active; the latter being divided into two groups. In order to facilitate the work of the trainers, the form of execution of the exercises is described, as well as the methodological indications, muscles involved, organization and variants.

The control and evaluation of the tactical technical action in the training in game situations, is an aspect that is made difficult by the lack of definition of indicators to be taken into account in baseball, specifically in the pitching area. Therefore, the objective of this article focuses on proposing an instrument for the control and evaluation of the tactical technical performance of baseball pitchers, category 15-16, in game situations, during the training unit, as well as in sports competition. For this purpose, we worked with a primary sample of 15 pitchers of the 15-16 years old category of the Sports Initiation School, "Ormani Arenado Llonch" of Pinar del Río and nine coaches as a secondary sample. Scientific research methods and techniques were used, such as document analysis, observation, standardized and individual interviews. Shortcomings were found in the treatment of the control and evaluation of the tactical technical preparation, in terms of the baseball pitcher's tactical technical action in game situations based on the creation of an instrument that provided the coach with information about the state of the pitcher's tactical technical action, by promoting the treatment of weaknesses presented by the athletes in this game area.

Innovation by projects is considered one of the main sources of impact of science and technology, however, the valuation of these is a problem, not yet fully resolved, despite the efforts made by different researchers and organizations, this reality does not escape the sports organizations. The aim of this article is to assess the impact of innovation by projects, managed by the Faculty of Physical Culture of Granma, from a constructivist model. The research required empirical methods such as the review of official documents, observation and interview, as well as the multivariate graphic method and arithmetic procedures; the latter allowed the impact of the innovations to be evaluated as favourable, relevant, sustainable and with performance in the saturation phase, five years after the financial execution of the projects used as a sample was concluded.

There are several variables that are considered important to achieve an increase in the speed of pitching in baseball. But coaches do not know the level of influence of these variables. The objective of the research is to establish the level of interrelationship between the main physical variables controlled in the process of sports preparation in baseball and the speed of pitching in a sample of non-players. An intentional sampling was used to select 34 students of 3rd and 4th year of the degree in Physical Culture at the University of Matanzas. Tests were conducted to measure the levels of explosive force from various muscle planes. Pearson's and determination coefficients were applied to establish the level of statistical interrelation between the variables. It was obtained that the seven variables analyzed show a statistical correlation that goes from weak, to very weak, even nonexistent, therefore, the research hypothesis is rejected.
