A burgeoning corpus of scholarly inquiry indicates that engagement in physical activity among children yields a plethora of advantageous outcomes, including enhanced cardiorespiratory endurance, improved academic performance, augmented cognitive functioning, as well as advancements in social and psychological well-being. Given that students participate in schooling for up to 200 days per annum, physical education (PE) possesses the potential to substantially influence the physiological and cognitive maturation of school-aged children through purposeful pedagogical practices. The notion of quality physical education (QPE), whose paramount objective is the cultivation of physical literacy, represents a critical element in the facilitation of both physiological and cognitive growth in children. Consequently, the objective of this investigation was to examine the ramifications of a continuing professional development program on educators' self-efficacy and, in turn, on their students' physical fitness and educational outcomes. The inquiry was conducted over a 32-week span during which teachers and students participated in a continuing professional development training (CPD) intervention and a physical literacy (PL) program, respectively. At both the initiation and conclusion of the intervention programs, a comprehensive series of standardized assessments were administered, including the Motorfit battery, Spirometry, Physical Education Teaching Efficacy Scale (PETES), and Amos 8–15. As a consequence, a significant Time × Group interaction effect for the Motorfit battery, Spirometry, PETES, and Amos 8–15 was identified. This finding suggests a meaningful improvement in the treatment groups (p < 0.001). Conversely, no notable alterations were recorded within the comparison groups. The outcomes of this research reinforce the assertion that exemplary instruction in physical education exerts a profound influence on the physiological well-being and academic achievements of students.

Purpose. Numerous studies suggest that specialized respiratory muscle training can enhance physical capacity, pulmonary function, and athletic performance, particularly in soccer players. Due to the significant influence of respiratory muscle performance on exercise capability and cardiopulmonary reaction to physical activity, systematic conditioning and assessment of respiratory muscle performance ought to be contemplated in athletes. Therefore, this research aimed to determine whether intermittent resistance training could improve the endurance capabilities of amateur soccer players involved in competitive recreational soccer. Methods.The study involved twenty (n = 20) senior soccer players (mean age 41.2 ± 3.1 years) participating in competitive amateur soccer. The participants were divided into two groups, each subjected to different levels of resistance during both training sessions and matches, while all participants possessed standard medical and fitness parameters. The soccer participants were divided into two categories (Control Group A and Experimental Group B with lower resistance levels), ensuring regular attendance at prescribed weekly training sessions and additional sessions over a six-month period. A standardized assessment motor test (Cooper test), and Spirometry were administered at baseline and after training. Results. The processed data enabled the determination of VO2max, considering the mixed energy expenditure characteristics of football. A significant portion of the team (65%) exhibited inadequate performance in terms of fatigue resistance, potentially linked to an incomplete 12-minute test. This underscores the necessity for enhancing endurance and stamina. Conclusions. The present investigation offers evidence that supports a positive correlation between physiological performance and the impact of resistance training in amateur senior soccer players.

Young athletes are constantly developing, and their performance reflects this ongoing process. By understanding performance variations and implementing appropriate training strategies, coaches and stakeholders can help young athletes develop their skills and athletic potential, as well as psychological well-being. Volleyball skills, such as explosive strength and serving precision, play a crucial role in determining the outcomes of volleyball matches. In contrast, mental well-being contributes to enhancing psychological performance. This prospective, randomized, parallel-group trial investigates the effectiveness of Pilates for young volleyball players. We investigated whether Pilates improves certain individual volleyball skills (explosive strength and serving precision) and certain psychological aspects (state of mindfulness) in young, male, 12–14-year-old athletes. Participation in this 12-week study involved 40 athletes (PG = 20; CG = 20). The Control Group had regular training and the Pilates Group had regular training plus twenty-four additional Pilates sessions. The Pilates Group showed a significant improvement in the variables under investigation by 4–7% (p < 0.001). Pilates training can improve individual volleyball skills in young male athletes and may also benefit overall psychophysical development. This study suggests that incorporating Pilates into training programs for young volleyball players can be beneficial for individual skill development and potentially overall psychophysical well-being, assuming an important role in the educational development of the young.

Purpose. This research aims to evaluate adaptive physical education learning in deaf students at special elementary schools. Methods. This study employs an evaluation model approach to assess the efficacy of adaptive physical education instruction. Specifically, this research utilizes the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) model for evaluation. The participants in this study were teachers who taught physical education in West Sumatra, with a sample size of 60 teachers in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out using a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire administered via Google Forms. The results showed that all statement items of the questionnaire were valid for reliability testing. Results. The results of this research showed that the evaluation using the context and input components of the CIPP scored 74.32% and 70.71%, respectively, indicating both as good. However, the process and product aspects attained a score of 50.83% and 48.10% indicating them as enough. Conclusions. This research concluded that the implementation of adaptive physical education learning for deaf students was good. Based on the results, this research recommends that evaluations be conducted at the school level for students with special needs. Additionally, evaluation is also needed using participants involved in education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The present study aims to assess PE teachers’ perception about the use of teaching styles during curricular lessons. Methods: The sample involved a total of 83 PE teachers (M = 41, F = 42, main age = 43,74 ± 10,76) divided according to years of service (0–4 = 36%, 5–10 = 34%, and over 10 = 30%) and academic training (Higher Institutes of Physical Education = 44% and master’s degree = 56%). Teachers complete a digitalized version of a self-produced questionnaire to assess how many times they use each teaching styles during the last month. Results: Results show that (a) reproduction rather than production teaching styles were often used, while reproduction teachings styles were most frequently used regardless of years of service. Discussion: Future research should investigate PE teacher’s behavior to enhance the quality of physical education in school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fine motor development in children is strongly influenced by children’s play activities, one of which is educational games. There are many types of educational games that can help develop children’s fine motor skills, one of which is the one-hole game. But unfortunately, activities to improve children’s motor development have not been optimized and the frequency is still lower than in previous years. As a result, children’s fine motor development is not optimal. The purpose of this study was to determine how much influence the use of educational game tools one hole game has on the fine motor development of preschool children. This study used quasi experiment with pre and posttest approach with control. Data collection tools using the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire sheet. Data analysis technique using paired-samples t test. The results of the study informed that there was an increase in children’s motor skills after intervention with one hole game in early childhood school in Jugo Village, Jepara Regency. The results showed that the intervention of One Hole Game educational game has a great influence on the fine motor development of preschool children. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, one hole game has an influence on the fine motor development of preschool children. The implication of this study is that parents need to know the right way to stimulate children’s growth and development, namely with one-hole games that provide many good benefits for early childhood.

Sports performance tracking has gained a lot of interest and widespread use in recent years, especially in elite and sub-elite sports. This makes it possible to improve the effectiveness of training, to calibrate and balance workloads according to real energy expenditure, and to reduce the likelihood of injuries due to excessive physical stress. In this context, the aim of this review was to map the scientific literature on wearable devices used in field hockey, evaluating their characteristics and the available evidence on their validity in measuring physiological and movement parameters. A systematic investigation was carried out by employing five electronic databases and search terms that incorporated field hockey, wearables, and performance analysis. Two independent reviewers conducted assessments of the 3401 titles and abstracts for inclusion, and at the end of the screening process, 102 full texts were analyzed. Lastly, a total of 23 research articles that specifically concentrated on field hockey were incorporated. The selected papers dealt with performance monitoring (6 papers), technical analysis and strategy game (6), injury prevention (1), and physiological measurements (10). To appraise the quality of the evaluations, the Oxford quality scoring system scale was employed. The extraction of information was carried out through the utilization of the participants, intervention, comparison, and outcomes (PICOS) format. The analysis encompassed research studies that implemented wearable devices during training and competitive events. Among elite field hockey competitions, GPS units were identified as the predominant wearable, followed by heart rate monitors. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) related to wearable devices showed reasonably high between-trial ICCs ranging from 0.77 to 0.99. The utilization of wearable devices in field hockey primarily centers around the measurement of player activity profiles and physiological demands. The presence of discrepancies in sampling rates and performance bands makes it arduous to draw comparisons between studies. Nevertheless, this analysis attested to the fact that wearable devices are being employed for diverse applications in the realm of field hockey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Squat jumps (SJ) and countermovement jumps (CMJ) are commonly used as tests to assess power output of lower extremities. Aim of Study. The aim of this article was to analyze differences between two vertical jumps in order to assess explosive power in elite female volleyball players and identify mechanisms responsible for existence of those differences. Material and Methods. Participants of this study were 14 elite female volleyball players of the Montenegro U19 national team (age: 18.42 ± 1.34 years; height: 178.15 ± 4.9 cm; weight: 68.1 ± 5.83 kg; body mass index: 21.34 ± 1.10 kg/m²; body fat: 18.89 ± 3.70%). Jump height data for a SJ and a CMJ was obtained using OptoJump device (Optojump, Microgate, Bolzano, Italy). Results. The results showed that there is no statistically significant difference (F = 0.093, p < 0.124) between the heights of the SJ (26.64 ± 2.93 cm) and the CMJ (26.65 ± 2.85 cm). Conclusions. The findings suggest that elastic energy has very little effect on improving CMJ performance. On the other hand, CMJ training can reduce an ability to effectively create pre-tension and quickly build stimulation, because athletes are not forced to do so, as the CMJ reduces a degree of muscle relaxation and provides more time to create stimulation. Based on the data, the CMJ may be detrimental to high-intensity sports performance if performed over a longer time frame. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
