The world of today is flooded with information which we need to process and make decisions. Does it matter if we perceive this information as text or video? Using video fragments of real-life diagnostic interviews and text representations with the same content we compared the diagnostic classification accuracy of experienced and novice clinical psychologists. Confidence was also examined. We noted lack of difference in accuracy between cases presented as video or text, and also, lack of difference between experienced and novice groups. What seemed to alter accuracy was the case itself, not its presentation (as text or video). Confidence was found to be positively correlated with accuracy. We conclude that text vignettes are as good case descriptions as videos.

Crisis which is affecting society and the increase in criminogenics factors that underlie a number of offenses committed by minors. Social ill and the accompanying poverty, hunger, domestic strife and inability to meet basic needs further restrict the ability of individuals to find an adequate solution to get out of this situation and sometimes an offense is considered as the only possible outcome.

We all know that in an active rest the recovery processes in our body go faster. But is this the case when the loads are submaximal, especially in sport like tennis? Thanks to the new technologies we were able to monitor what is the level of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) during the exercise itself as well as in the first few minutes after the recovery (the break between the games). We used 3 types of exercises that have a higher level of load than the one in real matches. We will show what are the levels in the beginning of the load, at its peak and from 1 to 5 minutes after its end. In this way, we will monitor how the recovery processes take place in the tennis player’s body.
