We are present, now with the publication of Vol. 8 No. 2, of the magazine Science and
Physical Activity (CIAF).
This is another opportunity to feel satisfied for reaching the moment of the publication
of another number of our magazine, in which we can show the result of the scientific
work of local and Cuban authors. We extend our thanks from the Editorial Board, to the
entire work team for their efforts, and again to the collaborators for their commitment in
such difficult times of maintaining the pandemic, to you and our readers, we dedicate
this edition that contributes to the dissemination of research results in the area of
physical culture and sports, of proven importance for human beings and, above all, for
their health and well-being.
The current number presents a pleasant proposal: Oral piercings: a health challenge in
athletes from Villa Clara; Manual of exercises with weights for the preparation of
strength in basketball players; Grisel Herrera Méndez, a glory of Cuban Basketball.
Contributions related to: State of theoretical preparation in youth weightlifters are also
attractive; Cuban triple jump. A procedure for determining the sports reserve;
