Abstract: Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a relatively new sport and is a mixture of many different martial arts. Currently, study on the physiological characters in the sport is very limited. The present study evaluated the physiological characters in 5 active male MMA athletes at two occasions with one year between. Aerobic- and anaerobic capacity were estimated through measurement of VO2max and anaerobic threshold using both treadmill running and arm cycling. Muscle strength was evaluated through series measurements. Body composition and personal competition records were also examined. The subjects presented above average aerobic capacity, but rather high anaerobic capacity and threshold levels compared with other similar sports. No significant difference in VO2max, anaerobic threshold or body composition was observed between the two test occasions, despite a decreased tendency in muscle strength/power in the second test compared to the first. The results were interpreted to indicate either the MMA athletes had reached the physiological requirements for MMA or the one year physical training was inefficient in further improving the parameters.

Abstract: In this work, we pass from a behavioral conception that considers the teacher as the only source of information to a constructivist and even a semi-constructivist conception which focuses on the fact that the student is a real actor of the teaching-learning process. The objective is to study the semiotics of language interactions between pupils in Physical Education and Sport sessions and the power balance between girls and boys (Wallian, 2010). Discursive interlocutions of Tunisian pupils in handball are marked by a constant negotiation about domination and by a formulation of action projects (Zghibi, 2009). These language interactions have the advantage of deploying a rich and multifaceted rhetoric which is a sign of dynamic learning.
