Today's society demands to train children and adolescents who develop in an environment based on respect and the promotion of educational values. This aspect is especially relevant to promoting physical activity and its relationship with healthy habits, such as the consumption of unprocessed foods, the reduction of a sedentary lifestyle and the improvement of adherence to sports. In this sense, the World Health Organization warns that the current rates of overweight and obesity are very high and that we must combat them. From formal education, you can help improve healthy habits with educational programs and especially in Physical Education, a subject where the work of physical, social and cognitive well-being has special relevance. Since the 20th century, studies and research that have aimed to combat unhealthy habits in educational centres and sports schools have increased. Not only by promoting physical activity within the school, but above all by seeking to generate adherence towards the future of students and athletes.

La iniciación deportiva constituye uno de los contenidos más habituales, y en muchos casos preferente, en el currículum de la Educación Física. Sin embargo, esta realidad que supone la inclusión del deporte a nivel educativo no siempre va acompañada de una práctica coherente y formativa que justifique su utilización. Desgraciadamente, es habitual ver que problemas como la selección, discriminación o falta de respeto habituales en el deporte de alta competición se reproducen en un contexto tan diferente y específico como es la escuela. Frente a esta realidad, este libro ofrece un planteamiento diferente para intentar que la práctica deportiva en Educación Física sea realmente educativa: el enfoque comprensivo. La finalidad del libro es acercar a sus lectores a este planteamiento, que conozcan las ideas y los problemas que un grupo de maestros ha tenido a la hora de ponerle en práctica. Para ello el libro esta estructurado en 5 capítulos. En el primero explicamos la evolución de nuestro grupo de trabajo y los aspectos básicos de nuestra forma de entender la Educación Física. El segundo aporta las nociones teóricas básicas para comprender qué es el modelo comprensivo que vamos a aplicar en las programaciones escolares. El tercer capítulo incluye ejemplos de programaciones y narrados de las mismas en diferentes contextos, desarrollando con detalle varias experiencias educativas con el enfoque comprensivo. El cuarto capítulo es la guía didáctica, resultado de un proceso de análisis de la práctica, tanto a nivel individual, como colectivo, que pretende dar nuevas ideas a cualquier docente que quiera utilizar el deporte como herramienta formativa. Somos conscientes de que cada contexto es diferente, por eso nos gustaría plantear el libro como un texto abierto, porque la guía docente puede ser completada y enriquecida con las ideas y planteamientos de cualquier persona que se anime a trabajar en esta línea. Por último, en el quinto capítulo, con la idea de hacer más cercano el trabajo, se encuentran las reflexiones personales de un grupo de docentes que han trabajado con el enfoque comprensivo en Iniciación Deportiva en la escuela.

In his comprehensive and vibrant picture of baseball in Cuba, Milton H. Jamail explores the sport's relationship to U.S. baseball. Jamail, whose personal love of the game matches that of the Cubans, examines the roots and traditions of baseball on the island and explains why Cubans play such excellent baseball. His analysis of the development of Cuban baseball after the 1959 takeover by Fidel Castro includes a detailed description of the formation of the Cuban amateur baseball system that has dominated international competitions for more than three decades. Before 1961, when the U.S. government severed diplomatic relations with Cuba and Castro abolished professional baseball, Cuba provided the bulk of the foreign players in the major leagues (more than one hundred since the color barrier was lifted in 1947). Major league interest in Cuban baseball remains high, Jamail notes, as he examines the changes necessary, both in the United States and Cuba, to return Cuban ballplayers to professional baseball in the United States. He discusses Cuban defectors, including Liván Hernández, and describes the intrigue surrounding agent Joe Cubas's courting of Cuban players and his attempts to spirit them away when the Cuban national team plays outside the country. An academic trained in Latin American politics, Jamail has spent twelve years as a Spanish-speaking journalist writing about Latinos and baseball. To write this book, he conducted extensive interviews with baseball officials, journalists, players, and fans in Cuba, as well as Cuban players who have defected. He also talked to scouts and front office people from U.S. baseball organizations.
