Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the proposals coming from the students in technical higher education, more specifically Politehnica University of Bucharest (UPB), regarding the improvement of sports facilities. It also aims to analyse their options for the activities performed in this sports complex. The activities carried out by the UPB students during physical education and sports classes are related to motor activity, types of motor learning, types of skills and motor skills, motor qualities, as well as their functional somatic and psychological characteristics. For students, these activities should be an important component of both individual health and training, given that they enable them to properly react in daily living. The UPB Department of Physical Education and Sports-Kinetotherapy provides competitive and mass activity for the following curricular subjects: football, volleyball, handball, basketball, athletics, aerobic gymnastics, table tennis, badminton, and chess. The development of sports and their transformation from exclusive sports into mass sports (swimming, skiing, tennis, etc.) have determined the UPB students to introduce these activities among their preferences regarding physical activity. Sports facilities for indoor or outdoor activities, equipment and installations must keep up with the new technical advancements and must be able to ensure the continuation of sports activities.
Highlights
Sport is a competitive activity consisting of a set of motor actions differentiated by branches of sport, which is aimed to improve morpho-functional and psychological abilities concretised in achievements such as record, surpassing oneself or the opponent (Dragnea et al, 2006).It has been argued that high school sports participation increases motivation and teaches teamwork and self-discipline (Rees & Sabia, 2010).The concept of Romanian university sport is defined as an integral part of the subsystem of activities within the national system of physical education
“Do you think that the efficiency of sports activity in UPB largely depends on existing sports facilities?”, 96% of students have responded that sports facilities significantly contribute to the efficiency of sports activity
A high percentage (98%) of the surveyed subjects consider that the UPB sports facilities are insufficient, and 96% consider that the efficiency of sports activities largely depends on existing sports facilities
Summary
The concept of Romanian university sport is defined as an integral part of the subsystem of activities within the national system of physical education. Sports activity in the university environment is carried out on three levels: university physical education, university sports for all and university performance sports (“Guvernul României” [Government of Romania], 2011). Physical education focuses on improving the psycho-biometric potential of students. This is done by developing their motor and psycho-motor skills to gain physical and mental health benefits, as well as by developing their cognitive, affective and social-relational abilities. The socio-professional integration of students is enhanced by the practice of physical education and sports disciplines. The socio-professional integration of students is enhanced by the practice of physical education and sports disciplines. (Wesselly et al, 2018)
