Taekwondo, according to World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) has two official competitive disciplines, poomsae and kyorugi (technique and sport combat). Still, there is an insufficient number of studies which considered differences, or similarities between poomsae and kyorugi athletes. Aim of this investigation is to determine the possible difference between samples of taekwondo competitors in terms of somatotype and anthropometric measures. Sample of this research is composed of n=39 taekwondo competitors of cadet, junior and senior age, divided into two subsamples, kyorugi (n=27) and poomsae (n=12). Ten competitors are the current national champions, while one participant is the European champion. After statistical analysis was conducted between subsamples, somatotype values were turned out to be significantly different. Somatotype of observed kyorugi competitors is composed of endo- 2.55 ± 1.17, meso- 3.66 ± 0.81 and ecto-4.09 ± 1.22, while mean values of poomsae sample are endo- 4.21 ± 0.70, meso- 4.25 ± 0.61 and ecto- 2.69 ± 0.74. According to success at national championship, female kyorugi national champions tend to be balanced ectomorfs, males to be ectomesomorphs, while poomsae champions tend to be endomesomorphs with tendency toward centre. Authors suggest that such results were expected due to their different training programs and competition requirements. Future research should include especially male competitors, greater samples and should be conducted on the international level competitors.

El libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano, cuyo objetivo fue evaluar la eficacia del programa Vaso de Leche en la provincia de Puno, Perú, desde la perspectiva de las beneficiarias, considerando a las mismas como unidad de análisis. La investigación es cuantitativa de alcance descriptivo, carácter explicativo y de tipo no experimental transversal. La técnica que se utilizó para la recolección de datos fue la encuesta y como instrumento se aplicó el cuestionario, construido a partir del reglamento del propio programa. La población total considerada fue de 4309 beneficiarias y producto del muestreo aleatorio simple se encuestó a 353 beneficiarias. Se halló que el 57,51% de beneficiarias encuestadas indican que la filtración en el programa está bien, el 56,94% está a favor de la cobertura del programa; como también el 58,36% de las beneficiarias consideran que el programa es eficaz. Se concluyó que se requiere de un proceso de fiscalización continuo del Programa Social Vaso de Leche en la provincia de Puno, para que su eficacia se mantenga en los mismos niveles.

No one can deny the significance attributed to the issue of reconciling work and private life by contemporary society, the EU and other international organisations. Its relevance is evident in the multifaceted nature of this topic and the need for each party to the employment contract to strike a proper balance between professional and personal responsibilities, based on the assumption that people can successfully harmonise their work with life. Following on from these considerations, this volume provides a detailed analysis of work-life balance and its regulation in a number of EU countries,
