Optimisation of the hit with the bat in the oina game
by Biel Pubill Soler in General
Resume of the thesis of Cristian Văduva, vice-president at A.R.J.T.S.,general secretary at F.R.Oină, a sports teacher at the base. I defended my doctoral thesis on 29.06.2020 at F.E.F.S. Cluj Napoca Univ. Babeș-Bolyai.
OPTIMISATION OF THE HIT WITH THE BAT IN THE OINA GAME THROUGH BIOMECHANIC ANALYSIS
The subject of this research is due to the fact that the hit with a bat can make the difference during an oina game. The purpose is to describe in detail the hit with a bat through a biomechanical analysis in order to obtain information necessary to perform a better hit since the longer and higher the hit is the better increases the chances for gaining points during an oina match.

by Biel Pubill Soler in General
Dear family of AEJeST,
At this moment, we are living a painful, serious and very delicate situation for our environment: the coronavirus Covid-19 is associated with problems of health, economic and also family discomfort situations.
Let me address you as ambassadors of the TSG and the values that they provide. Democratic relationship with others, solidarity, empathy, optimism, altruism and resilience… are some of the principles that you practice regularly, in Europe and in the world.
I encourage you now more than ever to try to apply these principles in your closest environment, to help people be as happy and optimistic as possible and better people.
On behalf of the Council Board, I would like to take profit of this message to send you a sincere hug and a lot of positive energy. Remember that you are not alone, we form a great family and I am sure that at this moment we are mentally prepared to overcome this difficult match.
I am convinced that together we will reach the end of the darkness of the tunnel thanks to the light that the values that TGS bring us. We are sure that in the near future we will have the opportunity to continue sharing the treasure, the heritage that keep us acting as a team of teams, a network of networks.
Many encouragements and sincere support on behalf of Council Board.
Best regards
Pere Lavega
Président AEJeST
