Throughout the nineteenth century some writers and jurists defended the duel because they saw in it a mechanism to maintain the respect for the individual in a changing society with egalitarian tendencies. From their perspective, the duel helped to control the materialistic selfishness and the lack of civility of the ascending classes, while also inflating into society moral principles that were being lost. The objective of this work focuses on the analysis of the arguments put forward by these authors to see to what extent they respond to a reinterpretation of the concept of honour which have its core in an elitist concept of society.

This article takes up the matter of classifying Quevedo's jácaras. Two criteria are proposed: one that follows the narrative structure and a second that deals with the predominant themes. In addition, the article studies questions of fencing and astrology in these works. These two disciplines are used by Quevedo to underline his own style of writing jácaras, one that is based on the dissonance between the popular and the learned. This contrast serves to transgress the principle of decorum in the themes utilized. Finally, the essay analyses the possible social and political implications that may emerge from the uses of fencing and astrology in the genre of the jácaras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies about the relationship between resilience and optimism in sports, are scarce. It has been even more difficult to find literature that fathoms ever further in these concepts covering aspects such as age group, gender and sporting level. The aim of this study, is to search and learn about the relationship between resilience and optimism in competitive fencers, and as a second aspect, its relationship with sport category, gender and athletic level. The scope of this investigation was 87 feminine and masculine fencing athletes (Ages M = 25.2; DT = 10.6). The results show that 17% of the participants present a high level of resilience. 85.1% are optimists opposing 14.9% that are not (pessimist). No differences of resilience nor optimism where found by gender or sports level, but there were differences found among the analyzed age groups the subjects belong to, favoring the seniors (older than 18 years of age) where resilience was most present. Resilience and optimism are related. These results enable and facilitate decision making when establishing intervention strategies for the athletes according to their different sport level and dedication, in order to achieve optimum performance and a better confrontation attitude during competition.

The high rate of physical inactivity and obesity reported in Chile, has given rise to various sports programs for children and adolescents who require reliable assessments of anthropometric characteristics for sports. In this sense, this research aims to determine the anthropometric characteristics of adolescents belonging to different training sports schools (AD) of Temuco, Chile and its relationship with ideal athletic parameters. The research provides a non-experimental, descriptive, transversal, with a quantitative approach to design. The sample consisted of 65 subjects (38 women) with a mean age of 15.9 (2.5) years and a BMI of 22.8 (4) kg/m2, who practiced taekwondo (n= 4), racquetball (n= 6), fencing (n= 7), karate (n= 8), athletics (n= 13), tennis (n= 6) andsoccer (n= 21). The results indicated that AD women were classified as endo-mesomorphic (4.9 - 4.3 - 1.5) with a mean percentage of 33.6% fat mass and 39.7% muscle mass, while the AD males were classified as meso-endomorphic (3 - 4.9 - 2.3) and they presented a 27.4% of fat mass and a 43.7% of muscle mass. In conclusion, although the AD evaluated showed normal weight, their body composition exhibits a high percentage of fat mass, even in comparison with normal parameters. Nevertheless, its somatotype was closer to the kineanthropometric profile ideal for sports, without showing any trend by sport. Further studies will be required to understand the role of training programs, athletic performance and eating habits in the optimization of sports performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The novel has its roots in the drinking history of each of the aspects that make it. For this reason, we believe it is necessary to know the lexical and cultural aspects of the field of fencing in a novel like The Fencing Master by Arturo Perez Reverte, since it reveals the technical context in which the author's work is based. Thus, we have studied the field of fencing from the point of view of a specialized language, as well as from a cultural perspective that enriches the knowledge of the discipline.

The Tapping Test is a common neurological means of evaluating Cuba's national teams. Our objective was to assess self-control of motor abilities and the athletes' psychophysiological response by comparing two versions of the tapping test: mode 1 (normal pencil and paper) and mode 2 (technical action with the épée). The participants were made up of 12 athletes from the Cuban National Fencing Team (Mage = 22.19 years, SD = 3.50 years). We used wireless psychophysiological recording equipment (Biofeedback 2000). The results show self-control of motor abilities, mode 1 being significant F(1,10) = 44.29, p < .001 as the number of touches or hits was consistent with the execution rate. Mode 2 showed a motility or significant acceleration in the different phases of the test F(1.586, 15.85) = 8146, p = .006, plus a higher level of psychophysiological activation. This high-ranking group of fencers demonstrated self-control of their motor abilities despite increased activation, controlling their movements to match the requested pace (mode 1).
