Modern Fitness Trends as Full-Fledged Training for Maintaining Physical Shape

At the current stage of development, physical culture has taken a place in the life of society that has no analogues in history. One of the most popular areas of mass, sports and health-improving physical culture is fitness. Today, there are many interpretations of the meaning of the word “фітнес”, that comes from the English “fitness”, which means “adaptation”, “suitability” and “compliance”. However, if we take a broader look and realize the effect of fitness on a person, we can confidently say that fitness is, first of all, health. Modern trends in fitness are a natural result of the search for effective ways to provide organized physical activity accessible to the general population in order to improve health. This article considers various types of modern fitness trends and analyzes the effectiveness and favorable factors of exercises that are aimed at improving and maintaining the physical shape of a person. The problems of the modern distrustful attitude towards fitness as a full-fledged direction of physical culture are highlighted, and the opposite is proved.

Student transition into higher education: Time for a rethink within the subject of sport and exercise science?

The first year of higher education (HE) marks one of the most significant transitions in a student’s life. Within the U.K., the subject area of Sport and Exercise Science (SES) has a problem with effectively supporting and retaining students as they transition into HE. If students’ capabilities to successfully transition are to be fully understood and resourced, it is necessary for research to foreground students’ lived realities. Utilising letter to self-methodology, 58 s- and third-year undergraduate SES students wrote to their younger self, providing guidance on how to successfully transition into HE. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Six themes and four sub-themes were identified. Following the development of a single composite version of an “Older, wiser self letter” to represent the identified themes, this resource was integrated into the institution’s pastoral care resources and sessions where personal tutors connected with their tutees. Student member reflections were completed to gather feedback regarding the resource’s effectiveness. The composite letter provides an authentic account of how to face obstacles encountered as students transition into HE. Students’ member reflections highlighted that the letter was a valuable resource as a prompt for discussion regarding their experiences of transitioning into HE. When in the student journey the letter was read was particularly important. The value of this composite letter lies in the implementation of tutor-tutee and student peer-peer conversations at key “moments” throughout their journey in HE, helping students understand the challenges and opportunities for success during transition.

여가활용의 방안으로 레저스포츠 참여와 생활체육 활용의 이원적 고찰

Today, as Korea grows remarkably economically, the quality of life of the people is improved, and it is also developed into a five-day workweek, and furthermore, into leisure culture. In particular, as the number of participants in leisure sports increases due to the natural environment surrounded by the sea on three sides, marine leisure sports are in the spotlight due to the good use of leisure activities. On the other hand, the state and local governments are legally encouraged and participation in sports for all is encouraged by the good use of leisure time that falls short of the area of leisure sports that requires some economic (leisure organization) and expertise (navigation). In this sense, this paper aims to promote national leisure activities and contribute to the creation of leisure culture by presenting a model that induces the participation of leisure sports as a professional leisure activity and promotes the use of sports for the good use of leisure by the general public.

‘Philosophising with Athletes and Their Coaches’: On Using Philosophical Thinking and Dialogue in Sport

ABSTRACT Philosophy may be accused of being an exclusive theoretical enterprise. Although it is concerned with the important issues of life it may appear to be a purely academic matter pursued by few educated scholars and therefore somehow detached from everyday way of being of people uneducated in philosophy. In the field of the philosophy of sport, the essential ambition is to provide relevant insights into a vast area of sport that will promote our philosophical understanding and knowledge of the relevant topics. This paper offers another perspective on the role of philosophy in sport. I argue that philosophy is not just about reflecting from an academic distance, but the process of philosophizing could be situated within the sporting practices. This type of relationship between philosophy and sport is already apparent in ancient Greece where philosophers (such as Pythagoras or Socrates) liked to be engaged in physical exercises and to combine them with philosophical discussions with athletes. The article explores a practical role of philosophy in sport, namely the process of philosophical thinking and dialogue with athletes and their coaches. It offers insights into methodology, goals, benefits, and limits of using philosophy in practice. I reflect on my personal experience of being a mental coach and philosophical consultant in sport in the Czech Republic. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the relevance of using philosophy (philosophical practice) in the sporting environment. In doing so, I reflect on the nature and purpose of philosophical thinking and its possible relation to sport psychology and mental coaching.

A systematic review of sport-related packages within the R CRAN repository

The sports statistics community is rapidly evolving. R is an open-source software in constant development that has gained a lot of popularity within statistical communities and sports analytics. This work presents a systematic review of the available R CRAN sport packages following PRISMA guidelines. We consider all packages active as of 18 February 2021. A total of 81 sport R packages created since 2006 were detected. Of these, 35.9% were authored by an American national, 69.1% include a dataset, 43.2% provide vignettes, and 65.4% have been updated at least once. The sport with the highest representation is basketball (n = 14, 17.3%), followed by soccer (n = 12, 14.8%) and packages related to physical activity (n = 11, 13.6%). There are no sports packages directed solely for the female gender, while 59.3% of packages are focused on professional athletes. Fifty packages (61.7%) are related to the sports performance analysis category, and web scraping (n = 43, 53.1%) was the main functionality in the collected packages. The creation of new R packages in the area of sports could help solve questions and tasks that still remain a challenge in this field, while continuing to help to improve the level of statistical education and computational thinking skills.

An Overview of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Tourism, Destination, and Hospitality Research Based on the Web of Science

Sustainability, entrepreneurship and tourism, destination and hospitality research have attracted scholars’ attention for their relevance in bringing to fruition a future that links economic well-being with the environmental, cultural, and social sustainability of human beings. This article provides a bibliometric overview of the academic research where these topics intersect. To accomplish this, various bibliometric methods are implemented, which include a performance analysis and graphic mapping of the academic production in this specific topic. This research uses the Web of Science database to identify and classify the most preponderant investigations in the field and considers articles, authors, institutions, countries, and journals. To complete the performance analysis, a series of indicators, such as number of papers and number of citations, are used. Graphic visualization maps are produced using the co-citation and co-occurrence of keywords under the Visualization of Similarities—VOSviewer—software. The results show a growing concern for entrepreneurship in sustainable tourism development research, which is evidenced in the increasing number of studies during the last decade. Some influential research institutions and authors from countries including the USA, New Zealand, and Norway are found to be influential leaders in this topic.

Ubiquitous Computing in Sports and Physical Activity-Recent Trends and Developments.

The use of small, interconnected and intelligent tools within the broad framework of pervasive computing for analysis and assessments in sport and physical activity is not a trend in itself but defines a way for information to be handled, processed and utilised: everywhere, at any time. The demand for objective data to support decision making prompted the adoption of wearables that evolve to fulfil the aims of assessing athletes and practitioners as closely as possible with their performance environments. In the present paper, we mention and discuss the advancements in ubiquitous computing in sports and physical activity in the past 5 years. Thus, recent developments in wearable sensors, cloud computing and artificial intelligence tools have been the pillars for a major change in the ways sport-related analyses are performed. The focus of our analysis is wearable technology, computer vision solutions for markerless tracking and their major contribution to the process of acquiring more representative data from uninhibited actions in realistic ecological conditions. We selected relevant literature on the applications of such approaches in various areas of sports and physical activity while outlining some limitations of the present-day data acquisition and data processing practices and the resulting sensors' functionalities, as well as the limitations to the data-driven informed decision making in the current technological and scientific framework. Finally, we hypothesise that a continuous merger of measurement, processing and analysis will lead to the development of more reliable models utilising the advantages of open computing and unrestricted data access and allow for the development of personalised-medicine-type approaches to sport training and performance.

Spatial distribution, activity zone preference, and activity intensity of senior park users in a metropolitan area

Urban parks can bring multiple health benefits to seniors and thus are important to their lives. This study investigated seniors’ spatial distribution, preferred activity zones, and activity intensity during park visits. We used GPS trackers to collect spatial location information and accelerometers to record metabolic equivalent of energy (MET) at an interval of 10 s, and examined differences in activity intensity according to activity zone type. Data from 286 seniors in two large urban parks in Shanghai, China were included. We identified eight park activity zone types: pathway, paved open space, sports area, children’s playground, lawn, water, other natural area, building, and other area. Grid cells of 5 m by 5 m were created and hotspot analysis was utilized to identify the activity zones most frequently used by seniors. ANOVA post-hoc analysis was applied to investigate the variance between activity zone cells in terms of mean visit point counts, total visit point MET, and average MET. We also utilized latent class analysis to identify distinctive subgroups of seniors.The results indicate that seniors’ spatial distributions vary vastly both between and within park activity zones. Of the eight zone types, paved open space was used most frequently, and seniors were most active on pathways. Other natural area also had high usage, and featured higher average activity intensity than sports area, water, and building and other area. Children’s playground had higher average activity intensity than lawn or water. Finally, three distinctive groups of seniors were identified: short-stay active walker, long-stay light walker, and short-stay transient. These findings have direct implications for park design practice. Paved open space and pathways should be carefully designed based on the specific seniors’ activity patterns. Furthermore, seniors’ needs should be considered in the design of playgrounds in parks, where they accompany their grandchildren, and of other natural area, where they stretch their bodies and enjoy fresh air. The diverse activity patterns of the subgroups of seniors should be addressed in future studies.

PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF THE PARTIES CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS

The commercial nature of many areas of physical culture and sports necessitates the conclusion of civillaw contracts. In sports relations, where almost everything depends on the individual characteristics ofthe athlete, on the physiological and psychological qualities of his body, as well as on the uniqueness and specificity of a particular sport, the contract is a necessary and effective means of individual regulation,allowing to take into account the unique interests of any participant. sports relationship. As a result of theanalysis of civil legislation and theoretical aspects of the institution of protection of rights, the authorsconcluded that the protection of the rights and interests of the parties to a contractual obligation in anyarea of civil circulation, including in the field of physical culture and sports, is carried out by a wholesystem of measures aimed at ensuring the interests parties at all stages of the emergence and fulfillmentof obligations. This system is not limited only to measures of civil liability, but also consists of a set ofadditional ways to induce the debtor to properly perform duties and serve as a guarantee of ensuring theinterests of the creditor

Evaluation of school administrators' views on playgrounds and sports areas in the schools they work

One of the best learning tools for children is games. Playgrounds and playgrounds are areas where children complete their physical, mental and social development. It is important for the health, welfare and order of the society that children complete their development in a healthy way. This makes the design of children's playgrounds much more important. Play is the basic building block that supports the development of children, who are the building blocks of society, from birth to adolescence in many ways. The aim of this study is to evaluate the opinions of school administrators about the playgrounds and sports fields in their schools. In the study group of the research, face-to-face interview technique was used with 15 school administrators working in Gaziantep Provincial Directorate of National Education and on a voluntary basis. In the research, using the interview method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, the data obtained were analyzed by the content analysis method.

Desain Lanskap Lapangan Golf Berbasis Fungsi Ekologis

The golf course landscape is one form of sports area that can be a buffer zone between urban and rural areas. The golf course landscape functions as an area to absorb CO2 in the atmosphere, a windbreaker as well as a habitat for birds. The purpose of this research is to produce an ecologically based golf course landscape plan and design. The planning process includes site inventory surveys, site data analysis, design concept creation, golf course design development, and design development. Stages of site analysis using descriptive methods on the biophysical and physical components of the site. Meanwhile, the data analysis used the stored carbon analysis method is a allometric equation. The results show that in planning the golf course landscape, the landscape is divided into three spaces, namely the game area, maintenance area and service area. Then, landscape planning also determines the proposed contour, proposed drainage, and vegetation selection. The results of the planning are used to design the landscape, where the planting design is determined based on the composition of the vegetation that produces the highest stored carbon, which consists of grass, herbs, shrubs and trees. Then, the selection of vegetation that can bring birds and vegetation that can break the wind. The forms of planning and designing the golf course landscape are in the form of proposed contour drawings, proposed drainage, spatial concepts and three-dimensional visualization of the golf course landscape.

“Soft skills” development during foreign language education of bachelors in sports and fitness

Introduction. The high demand for specialists in the area of physical education and sport with the teamwork skills, capable of addressing the problems effectively, communicative, resourceful, able to think creatively etc. and insufficiency of pedagogical conditions for physical training “soft skills” development in a higher school bring into focus the search for pedagogical possibilities including foreign language education potential. Justification and implementation of effective pedagogical conditions for physical training bachelors’ “soft skills” development when studying a foreign language within classroom and extracurricular work would resolve the problem. Materials and methods. The experiment on the testing of the pedagogical conditions was held in the Institute of Physical Training, Sport, Health and Safety in the Bunin Yelets State University in 2020–2021. For the research the students of the first and second years were chosen (n=68). The estimation of the students’ soft skills development level was carried out on the basis of theoretical analysis, synthesis, pedagogical observation and testing. The statistical significance of the results was approved with the χ2 Pearson test. Research results. The analysis of quantitative and qualitative data of the experiment showed a significant improvement of physical training bachelors’ ”soft skills” during foreign language studying through creating special pedagogical conditions (χ2 = 11,813> χ20,05). Discussion and conclusion. For the first time pedagogical conditions for physical training bachelors’ “soft skills” development during foreign language studying were justified and implemented on the basis of system and activity, subject-centered and context approaches. Pedagogical conditions imply the learners’ awareness of relevance of communicative, management skills, effective thinking and self-management; structural changes in a foreign language practical lesson, classroom and independent learners’ work. Under these conditions study guides can be developed; they can implement innovative pedagogical practices aimed at providing learners’ personal characteristics development as a predictor of a graduate’s professional success and competitiveness.

RECONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH THE ORGANIZATION OF GREEN ROOF

The design of a low-rise residential building with an exploited green roof was studied. In order to improve the ecological condition and tourist attractiveness of the building in the city of Odessa, a project of eco-reconstruction of the "Rodokonaki" apartment building with the organization of a flat exploited green roof is proposed. The project involves a combined plan of an exploited roof with combined landscaping and landscaping, and can also be considered as a fifth facade. Using the example of the designed building, it was found that the steppe type of roof landscaping is the most promising for arid Ukrainian regions, in particular, the city of Odessa. It is proposed to place benches made of natural eco-material - wood on the exploited roof; small architectural forms (lamps, urns - also made of eco-wood). Bushes with a stone fence are planted around the perimeter of the roof. Stone paving with a fountain, green spaces and a small children's playground is designed on the territory of the house. The use of ecological finishing materials provides visual comfort and brings people closer to the natural environment. The use of green spaces on the roof ensures not only an increase in the standard of living of citizens, but also improves human health, makes the surrounding urban environment comfortable and close to natural conditions. Energy saving is achieved due to the increased thermal insulation properties of the green roof. Exploited roofs can be additional public spaces, sports areas and meeting places. The main advantages of this solution, structural features, calculated loads on the roof, as well as types of landscaping are analyzed. It has been proven that the principles and methods of "green roof" must be implemented in modern construction to improve the emotional state of residents, urban ecology, and tourism development.
