La legislación española ha incorporado recientemente el término de educación emocional, suponiendo la necesidad de un cambio de enfoque donde las emociones cobren mayor protagonismo. La literatura científica en el campo de la educación destaca la idoneidad del uso de la actividad física y el yoga como herramientas de desarrollo de la educación emocional. La finalidad de este estudio reside en realizar una revisión narrativa referente al empleo de dichos recursos para abordar una educación emocional de calidad en educación infantil. Tras llevar a cabo un estado de la cuestión, se concluye que la formación docente al respecto es insuficiente, a pesar de que cada vez son más los profesionales que deciden incluir la práctica de yoga en sus aulas. Es necesaria, por tanto, más investigación para dotar al profesorado de los conocimientos necesarios para impartir una educación emocional de calidad mediante la actividad física y el yoga.

This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of athletes towards nationalism in sports. In this study, the survey model was utilized. The sample consisted of students from the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Düzce University (n=545; 364 male and 181 female), including national athletes, university students, and athletes engaged in individual and team sports. The Nationalism Attitude Scale in Sports was used for data collection. The scale consists of 18 items in total, 9 under negative nationalism, 7 enthusiastic nationalisms, and 2 under constructive nationalism, divided into a total of 3 sub dimensions. Since the obtained data showed a normal distribution, parametric tests were employed. According to the results, it was determined that the nationalist attitudes of the athletes were at a moderate level and that there was a significant difference in the negative nationalism dimension in terms of age variable, national status and the departments they studied in (p<0.05), and that there was no significant difference in other variables (p>0.05). Overall, athletes’ attitudes toward nationalism in sports were at an adequate and desirable level, with differences observed only in the negative nationalism sub-dimension.

The use of social media has been consolidated in the field of physical activity and sports. The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic promoted these tools as an online resource for exercise. During confinement, institutions and content creators promoted initiatives through these platforms to continue moving from home, such as the creation of the hashtag #Yoentrenoencasa. This study aimed to discover the main characteristics of this community through a content analysis of 600 posts shared on Instagram during confinement. The results showed that content related to physical activity with the intention of inspiring the audience predominated, in which women mainly appeared. The weight of publications focused on promoting online training services and creating physical exercise routines could also be seen. In this content, certain sexist differences were uncovered, since women were represented in a more passive manner than men, who were portrayed in competitive or professional situations.

This study evaluated the development of pencak silat coaching in East Java using Stufflebeam’s Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. The participants were 55 members of the East Java Indonesian Pencak Silat Association (IPSI), consisting of 11 coaches, 7 staff members, and 37 athletes. A mixed-method evaluative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results indicated that, overall, the implementation of the coaching program falls into the “good” category, with the following scores: (1) Context obtained an average score of 3.34, showing strong alignment between the program and government goals and policies; (2) Input received an average score of 2.84, categorized as “sufficient,” highlighting areas for improvement such as funding and infrastructure; (3) Process scored 3.16, rated as “good,” reflecting that the program was generally well-planned and executed as designed; and (4) Product achieved an average score of 3.18, also rated as “good,” indicating improvements in athletes’ physical and non-physical skills, despite a decline in medal counts during the 21st National Sports Week. In summary, the CIPP model was able to pinpoint the areas requiring improvement to foster greater success in pencak silat coaching development.

This study explored the character education values embedded in traditional children's sports games within Minangkabau ethnic culture and examined how these values can be integrated into high school Sociology teaching materials. The aim was to deepen understanding of how culture influences students' character development, thereby emphasizing the cultural role in shaping moral and social behavior. A qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected from five active high school Sociology teachers, three traditional sports experts, and two Minangkabau cultural specialists, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and document analysis. The analysis was conducted using Zhang’s semantic analysis and the interactive model by Miles and Huberman, involving data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings revealed that five traditional Minangkabau games—Sipak Rago, Mancik-Mancik, Kuciang-Kuciang, Sipak Tekong, and Cak Bur—contain key character values such as honesty, justice, discipline, and care. Integration into Sociology teaching occurs in two stages: (1) identifying and formulating character values with a systematic link to norms, and (2) embedding local Minangkabau values into teaching materials, considering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning domains. This approach underscores the importance of value-based content that actively engages students in the learning process.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar un nuevo aspecto del deporte, centrándose en aquellos deportistas mayores de edad y no profesionales que deciden dar el paso de participar en pruebas deportivas de alta exigencia. A través de una encuesta basada en tres escalas validadas (MOMS, AIMS y EDS), se recogieron datos sobre la motivación, la identidad y la dependencia del ejercicio de 387 deportistas (320 hombres y 67 mujeres), con un rango de edad entre los 18 y los 74 años. Además de los factores psicosociales, se analizaron aspectos sociodemográficos como el nivel educativo y la situación laboral, resultando en 17 variables estudiadas cuyos valores medios de consistencia interna presentaron un notable grado de fiabilidad. Entre otros resultados, se destaca que el género afecta de manera significativa (p<0.05) a las subescalas de peso, reconocimiento e identidad social a favor de los hombres, mientras que en sentido de la vida y autoestima lo hace a favor de las mujeres (p<0.05). Asimismo, las variables que con mayor frecuencia se asocian con otras son efectos deseados, falta de control y reducción de otras actividades. El estudio puede ser de utilidad para que los gestores deportivos planifiquen el diseño de estas pruebas en función del tipo de usuario al que se dirigen.

In Malaysia, many sporting events had been conducted every year. Unfortunately, less research has been conducted on the benefits and side effects of the events. Thus, the impact of hosting a sport event is not well understood. This study was conducted to determine the impact of a national level sport event hosting, namely Sukan Institusi Malaysia (SUKIPT) (in English: Higher Education Sport) on the socioeconomic aspect among residents in Muallim District, Malaysia. A total of 546 respondents, consisting of athletes, managers, spectators and volunteers were recruited as participants of this study. They were given questionnaires that consisted of elements such as happiness and unity among Muallim residents, tourism and economic chances, interest to sports and healthy lifestyle and views on negative impacts. The results were presented descriptively, and the findings indicated a significant impact of SUKIPT on various aspects, including increased happiness and unity among residents, positive effects on tourism and economic opportunities, enhanced interest in sports and healthy lifestyles, and concerns about negative impacts such as environmental pollution and price increments. This study provides valuable insights into the multifaceted impact of hosting national sports events on the socioeconomic aspects of the host city, and highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with such events.

This study examined the impact of learning strategies on psychological well-being, academic performance, and physical education outcomes among university students at Hanoi Metropolitan University, Vietnam. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected from 500 students via structured surveys, while qualitative insights were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 25 participants. Quantitative findings reveal that students employing cognitive and metacognitive strategies, such as goal-setting, self-monitoring, and elaboration, achieved significantly higher GPAs, reported lower stress levels, and exhibited greater engagement in physical education activities compared to those with minimal strategy use. High strategy users had an average GPA of 3.72 and stress levels of 12.8 (GHQ-28), outperforming low strategy users, whose respective averages were 2.98 and 18.4. Qualitative data further highlighted the transformative role of adaptive strategies in managing academic responsibilities and mitigating stress. High strategy users reported feeling more organized, confident, and motivated, both academically and physically, by setting clear goals and tracking progress. In contrast, low strategy users often described challenges related to procrastination, disorganization, and lack of motivation, which negatively impacted their academic and physical engagement. These findings provide empirical evidence supporting the inclusion of learning strategies in educational policies to enhance student well-being, performance, and physical education outcomes.

Childhood is a period of growth and motor development. Therefore, analyzing strategies to prevent motor delays is very important. One strategy to prevent motor delays is play activities. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain in-depth information about play activities based on local wisdom of indigenous Mentawai children while enriching children's motor skills. The methodology of this study was qualitative research. The sample included six indigenous Mentawai children and three parents of participating children. This study employed data triangulation—specifically, semi-structured open interviews, observation, and document analysis—as methods of data collection. The results of the study conveyed that play activities based on local wisdom can enrich the motor skills of indigenous Mentawai children. Based on the results, the researcher advised parents not to limit children from doing outdoor activities and to provide opportunities for children to explore activities. Play activities based on the local wisdom of indigenous Mentawai children can enrich motor skills, so that it can minimize the occurrence of motor delays in early childhood.

This study aimed to identify the main factors influencing the effectiveness of training football players in adolescence to achieve high results at the international level. The study used methods of analysing scientific literature, observing training processes and competitions, and experimental approaches to assessing athletes’ physical and psychological fitness. It included 136 football players: men (n = 92; 67.65%) and women (n = 44; 32.35%). The age range was 14–22 years old and the average age 19.6. The results showed that adapting training programmes to the individual needs of athletes and considering the sociocultural context plays a key role in ensuring their competitiveness in international competitions. The analysis of technical and tactical indicators of young football players before and after the implementation of practical recommendations showed significant improvements: an increase in the number of short and medium passes forward (from 74±23 to 105±24, p<0.05) and backward (from 62±19 to 84±25, p<0.05), which indicates better ball control and pace of the game. The decrease in technical errors confirms the improvement in technical stability, while the number of long passes remained unchanged (p>0.05), probably due to their selective use. The study’s results may be helpful for coaches, sports psychologists, and sports institution managers in developing training programmes for young athletes.
