DEVELOPMENT AND APPROBATION OF A SET OF TESTS TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPORTS TOURISM WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE VARIABLE PART OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

Social distancing measures against COVID-19 imposed restrictions on students that may have affected their physical health and fitness. The objective of this study was to investigate the change in physical fitness of primary school students across the coronavirus outbreaks from 2019 to 2021. This was a retrospective repeated cross-sectional study. We obtained the annual physical and fitness assessment data measured every November for all students at the same primary school in Guangzhou, China. There was a total of 6371 observations in the dataset for three years. The physical fitness of the students was evaluated with an overall physical fitness score, body mass index (BMI), lung vital capacity, physical flexibility (via a sit-and-reach test) and sports task performances (sprint, shuttle run, rope-jumping, and sit-up). Generalised estimating equations were used to determine any significant changes from 2019 to 2021, adjusted for confounders. After the COVID-19 outbreak in 2021, there was a significant elevation in BMI of 0.64 kg/m2 in 2020 and 0.39 kg/m2 in 2021 (p < 0.001). The overall physical fitness score was significantly increased by 2.1 and 4.1 points, respectively, in 2020 and 2021 (p < 0.001). Lung vital capacity and rope-jumping performance were significantly improved in both 2020 and 2021 compared with 2019, and sit-up performance was marginally significantly improved in 2020 and significantly improved in 2021. However, students demonstrated poorer flexibility and sprint and shuttle run performance in 2021 compared with 2019. A health promotion programme during and after COVID-19, including online physical education classes, television broadcasts, and a rope-jumping campaign, could account for these positive outcomes, along with the ease of administering rope-jumping and sit-ups at home.

Today in Ukraine, the incidence among women remains high, and in some nosological units, especially in the musculoskeletal system, endocrine and reproductive systems, very high. At the same time, there is a powerful arsenal of rehabilitation and recreational tools and programs aimed at restoring and maintaining a safe level of physical health and the necessary quality of life for women in modern society. units, especially from the musculoskeletal system, endocrine and reproductive systems, very high. At the same time, there is a powerful arsenal of rehabilitation and recreational tools and programs aimed at restoring and maintaining a safe level of physical health and the necessary level of quality of life for women in modern society. to analyze the impact of various sports and health areas of rhythmic gymnastics under the program "Rhythmic gymnastics and aerobics in physical education classes" on the level of physical development and physical fitness of students. Analysis and systematization of scientific and methodological literature, observation, survey, testing of physical fitness; measurement of anthropometric indicators; methods of mathematical statistics. Modern directions of rhythmic gymnastics as a means of increasing the level of physical development and physical fitness of female students. The article presents the results of the study of the effectiveness of the author's program of complex use of modern sports and health-improving directions of rhythmic gymnastics and presents the results of studies of the influence of the program on the level of physical development and physical fitness of female students. Studies have shown that EG students have decreased anthropometric parameters when calibrating the subscapular and abdominal skin folds, decreased body weight, and shoulder circumference at rest. There is a significant increase (33.9%) in the parameters of flexibility when tilting the torso forward which is explained by the fact that in the complexes of exercises of the program was used a significant number of exercises that are associated with mobility not only in large but also, especially in small joints. The application of techniques for the development of dynamic force in various areas of strength aerobics has also increased the force in bending and unbending the arms in the supine position, as well as lifting in the saddle for 1 minute. Indicators of a long jump from a place and shuttle running in both groups do not differ essentially because, in the program of employment, there were no exercises of speed and power orientation. However, the measurement of aerobic cyclic movements (running 100 m) showed that in EG the indicator increased by 7.48%, and in CG - only by 2.49%. Indicators of aerobic capacity (running 2000 m) increased by 12.59%, while in EG, and in CG, this figure has not changed significantly - only 3.7%. Research has confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed rhythmic gymnastics and aerobics program, aimed at improving the level of physical development and physical fitness of students. The program developed by us gives the chance to carry out combined employment in various directions of rhythmic gymnastics in sports clubs and sports sections or groups of the improving and rehabilitation direction and other sports and improving establishments.

Through a sampling survey of the results of the physical fitness test of the students of Guilin Institute of Aerospace Industry in 2018, using the analysis of variance research method, the five variable indicators of the physical fitness of the surveyed students were analyzed, and the changes in the physical fitness of the students during the three years of university were studied. The test results show that during college, the physical fitness of students has been increasing year by year, but the growth rate has been declining, and the difference in physical fitness is mainly due to the changes in their own high body mass index and vital capacity body mass index, and the endurance quality of students has not improved much. The analysis results show that the improvement of college students' physical fitness can be regarded as a recovery from poor physical fitness in high school. Therefore, there is still greater potential and room for improving the physical fitness of college students.

Physical Education, Exercise, Fitness and Sports: Early PM&R Leaders Build a Strong Foundation

Previous studies focused on the relationship between physical activity level and physical fitness in adolescents were mostly from cross-sectional data. Since growth have influence on the development of physical fitness in these population. More longitudinal study would be helpful to better understand the related factors. PURPOSE: To explore the changes and sexual difference of junior high school students' physical activity level and physical fitness in one year period. Further examine the correlation between physical activity level and changes of physical fitness. METHODS: Subjects were 308 seven-grade students (145 males; 163 females) of Ta-Kuan junior high school in Taipei country, Taiwan. Physical activity level was collected using International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Adolescence in Taiwan-Show Card Version (IPAQ-A). Physical fitness was assessed as body mass index (BMI), sit-and-reach, long jump, sit-up and 800/1600-m walk/run test. The interval of two tests was one year. According to the data, we came to the conclusion through the method of descriptive statistics, independent t-test, paired t-test and Pearson's product-moment correlation. RESULTS: In average, there was no significant change of physical activity level after one year in this observed population (1834.00 +/- 1686.70 vs. 1882.03 +/- 1482.54 MET-min·wk-1). No significant differences were found on changes of physical activity level between genders. After one year, there were significant growth (p<.05) in height (3.12 +/- 2.60 cm), weight (3.61 +/- 3.40 kg), and BMI (0.62 +/- 1.20 kg·m-2). Significant improvements (p<.05) of sit-and-reach (4.51 %), long jump (1.29 %) and 800/1600-m walk/run test (10.09 % in male; 4.53 % in female) were also found. The improvements of male students' height, weight, long jump and 800/1600-m walk/run test were greater than females'. There were no significant correlations between average physical activity level and changes of physical fitness in one year period. CONCLUSIONS: When adolescent students maintained their habitual physical activity, some of their physical fitness improved with age in puberty.

This study aims to examine the effect of Game-Based Learning (GBL) in Physical Education (PE) learning on social interaction and physical fitness of junior high school students. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with a Non-randomized Control Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research subjects consisted of 62 eighth-grade students of State Junior Higschool 40 Bandung who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Social interaction was measured using the Social Provisions Scale (SPS) questionnaire, while physical fitness was measured through the Nusantara Student Fitness Test (TKPN) which includes the Pacer Test, V-Sit and Reach, Sit Up, and Squat Thrust. The results of the analysis showed that social interaction data were normally distributed and were analyzed using a Paired Sample t-Test, while physical fitness data were not normally distributed and were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare improvements between groups. The results showed a significant increase in social interaction and physical fitness in the experimental group, while the control group showed no significant changes. Effect size analysis showed a large effect on social interaction (r=0.56) and a moderate effect on physical fitness (r=0.46). These findings indicate that Game-Based Learning is effective in improving the quality of physical education (PE) learning in junior high schools.

This study examined changes in Belgian students' weight, body composition and physical fitness after 1.5 years at university. Furthermore, this study investigated whether these changes differed by gender and weight status. In this longitudinal study, 172 students' weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were objectively measured, whereas fat%, fat mass, fat-free mass, dynamic leg strength, handgrip strength, hamstring flexibility and cardiorespiratory fitness were estimated using validated instruments. Measurements were conducted at the start of the first semester (T0), after the first semester (T1) and after 1.5 years (T2) at university. Female students' weight and BMI did not change, whereas male students gained 2.7 kg of weight and showed a 0.7 kg/m(2) BMI increase after 1.5 years. After the first semester, an increase in fat% was observed in the total group of students, whereas this time effect did not remain significant when comparing T0 and T2. In contrast to females, increases in 2.1 kg of fat-free mass and 1.8 cm of WC were found in males after 1.5 years. Higher baseline BMI and WC predicted greater BMI and fat% increases in males. Handgrip strength improved for both sexes, whereas no changes in other physical fitness components were found across the 1.5-year period. The greatest weight and BMI gains as well as unfavourable changes in body composition were found in male students with higher baseline BMI and WC. The observed changes in body composition did not cohere with changes in physical fitness.

At the present stage, the development of higher education in the field of physical culture depends on the level of activity and consciousness of higher education students, their attitude to physical education as an academic discipline. But at the same time, there are certain shortcomings in the organisation of the educational process that negatively affect students’ attendance at practical physical education classes. That is, in modern society, in particular within higher education institutions, there is a need for innovative ideas to interest students in various forms of physical activity. The proposed new modern type of motor activity – judo wrestling – fully meets these requirements. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of judo wrestling on the physical fitness of students. Research methods: theoretical; empirical; questionnaires; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. As a result of application of judo wrestling in physical culture classes during the academic year, a significant statistically significant (p&lt;0,05–0,01) increase in the results of pedagogical tests of physical fitness was observed in the experimental group. Namely, the average value of indicators in the tests: “Running for 100 m” improved by 1,18 s; “Running for 3000 m” by 1,90 min; “Long jump from a standing position” by 15,91 cm; “Pulling up on a crossbar” by 5,10 times; “Shuttle run 4х9 m” by 0,72 s; “Torso tilt from a sitting position” by 3,07 cm; “Raising the torso to a sitting position in 1 minute from a supine position” by 11,01 times; “Romberg test” by 4,71 seconds. The indicators of the control group also had positive dynamics, but did not reach statistically significant differences (p&gt;0,05). This indicates that the introduction of judo wrestling in the educational process of physical education of applicants of the experimental group contributes to the improvement of their physical fitness. Thus, comparative analysis of data of experimental and control groups allowed to state that application of judo wrestling at physical culture classes during academic year had more effective influence on indicators of physical fitness of EG students in comparison with CG students.

Physical fitness is essential for all. This is comparative cum cross-sectional study dealing with the physical fitness of students. It was conducted in the secondary schools of Lamjung district with the objective to compare the physical fitness between indigenous and non- indigenous students. Altogether 150 secondary level male students were selected as the respondents consisting 75 for each group. Five schools were selected using purposive sampling method whereas, the respondent students were selected using purposive cum random sampling method. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (AAHPER) Youth Physical Fitness Test was used to compare the physical fitness of indigenous and non-indigenous students. The test battery included six test items i.e. pull-ups, sit-ups, standing broad jump, shuttle run, 50-yard dash and 600-yard run-walk. For the comparison of fitness score, mean, SD, CV and Z-test were applied. Fitness status was found better among indigenous students in comparison to non-indigenous students.

Background/Purpose: As the future pillars of the country, the physical fitness level of our junior high school students and high school deserves to receive attention as the cornerstone of their study and life. As a part of China's national physical fitness monitoring, student physical fitness monitoring can reflect the current situation of students' physical fitness and health in a more objective way. The Youth Physical Literacy Questionnaire (YPLQ), as a physical fitness assessment tool, can reflect the physical fitness of youth. In this study, descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were conducted to investigate the correlation between the physical fitness scores of students from several junior high schools and high schools in Beijing and Shanghai and the results of the YPLQ. Methods: Questionnaire Survey Method, Test Method, Mathematical Statistics Method. Questionnaire survey method: The physical literacy questionnaire was distributed to the subjects to obtain the results. Test method: The physical fitness test data of the subjects were obtained through the physical fitness test of the students. Mathematical statistics method: SAS 9.4 software was used to statistically analyze the results of the physical fitness test and the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were first performed for the total scores of the two, and then correlation analysis was performed. A total of 1851 students' physical fitness test results and adolescent physical literacy questionnaire results were included in this study. Results: (1) The total score of the physical fitness test of the subjects was 79.05±10.62 with a minimum score of 27.30 and a maximum score of 100.00. (2) YPLQ score of the subjects was 81.63±6.32 with minimum score of 60.61 and maximum score of 99.57. (3) Correlation coefficient of 0.33 was obtained using Pearson correlation analysis, p &lt; .0001. Conclusion: Through the results of students' physical fitness test in several schools taken, the average score of students' physical fitness test did not reach the level of excellence, the gap between the lowest and the highest scores was large, and students' physical fitness and health levels varied. YPLQ was evaluated in four dimensions, namely, emotional experience, physical ability, physical activity-related behaviors and knowledge comprehension and application ability, and its scores were significantly correlated with the scores of the adolescent physical test. The scores of the YPLQ could reflect the physical health level of the students to a certain extent.

The present study aimed to analyze changes in health-related physical fitness among Korean elementary and middle school students before (2019) and after (2021) the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection was completed by requesting the physical activity promotion system (PAPS) data from elementary and middle school students. This information is obtained annually by the Goyang Office of Education in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. The collected data were measured in 2019 and 2021. Data were collected from 17,000 children in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school and about 24,000 boys and girls in the first, second, and third grades of middle school. Chi-square analyses were used to examine data from each school’s health-related physical fitness examinations. Our results indicated that physical fitness levels were significantly lower in 2021 than in 2019 across the following six areas: cardiorespiratory endurance, power, muscular strength, flexibility, obesity, and overall health-related physical fitness (p < 0.05). In addition, the ratio of students with excellent physical fitness (PAPS Grades 1 and 2) significantly decreased from 2019 to 2021, while the ratio of students with poor physical fitness (PAPS Grades 3, 4, and 5) increased (p < 0.05). In addition, there were some differences according to grade and gender. Discussions regarding the impact of decreases in physical activity on physical fitness, interpretations of physical fitness in the context of a pandemic, and practical measures that can be implemented to improve health and fitness among children and adolescents in such situations remain essential.

Changes in physical fitness and changes in mortality
