Evaluation of Knowledge and Attitude of Kindergarten Teachers about Primary Tooth Trauma in Khorramabad City

Introduction: Injury to both the primary and permanent dentitions is one of the most common dental problems. The prognosis of dental trauma depends on the basic measures taken immediately after trauma. This study was designed to assess the level of knowledge, the attitude of kindergarten coaches about primary teeth trauma in Khorramabad city. Materials & Methods: In this Cross-sectional study, 100 kindergarten coaches in Khorramabad participated in this study in 2019-2020. A valid and reliable confirmed questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation coefficients and independent t-test (p value < 0.05). Results: In this study, the mean score of coaches’ attitude was 68.5 and the mean score of knowledge was 34.9. In the present study, the factors of gender, age, level of education had no significant relationship with their knowledge score (p value > 0.05) and attitude, but between work experience with knowledge scores (p value = 0.02) and attitude (p value = 0.004) and so between the level of knowledge (p value = 0.004) and attitude (p value = 0.008) and passing the dental emergency training course, a direct relationship was observed. In this study, there was a significant relationship 64% of the coaches experienced dental trauma and their mean score of knowledge (p value = 0.04) and attitude (p value = 0.001) was significantly higher than other coaches. Conclusion: The assessed level of dental knowledge of the coaches participating in this study was poor, whereas their attitude about primary tooth trauma was good. The great suggestion is to hold educational programs in this regard to increase the level of knowledge of kindergarten coaches in the field of dental trauma.

Athlete, coach and practitioner knowledge and perceptions of post-exercise cold-water immersion for recovery: a qualitative and quantitative exploration

This survey sought to establish current use, knowledge and perceptions of cold-water immersion (CWI) when used for recovery. 111 athletes, coaches and support practitioners completed the anonymous online survey, answering questions about their current CWI protocols, perceptions of benefits associated with CWI and knowledge of controlling mechanisms. Respondents were largely involved in elite sport at international, national and club level, with many having used CWI previously (86%) and finding its use beneficial for recovery (78%). Protocols differed, with the duration of immersion one aspect that failed to align with recommendations in the scientific literature. Whilst many respondents were aware of benefits associated with CWI, there remains some confusion. There also seems to be a gap in mechanistic knowledge, where respondents are aware of benefits associated with CWI, but failed to identify the underlying mechanisms. This identifies the need for an improved method of knowledge transfer between scientific and applied practice communities. Moreover, data herein emphasises the important role of the ‘support practitioner’ as respondents in this role tended to favour CWI protocols more aligned to recommendations within the literature. With a significant number of respondents claiming they were made aware of CWI for recovery through a colleague (43%), the importance of knowledge transfer and context being appropriately applied to data is as important as ever. With the firm belief that CWI is useful for recovery in sport, the focus should now be on investigating the psychophysiological interaction and correct use of this methodology.

The Impact of Human Resource Management on the Modern Sports Industry

The paper outlines the specifics of human resource management in the sports industry, its role in sports organizations, human resource management in modern sports clubs. Also the astronomical growth of the sports industry has led to the intersection of the functions of club manager and human resources manager. The top manager of many advanced clubs masters human resource management directions to successfully lead the team. Human resource management is a strategic approach that involves the proper selection and effective management of staff in the organization. It is designed to achieve the strategic goals of the company by maximizing the productive work of its employees. Human resource management is primarily concerned with managing people in organizations, focusing on policies and systems. Human resource management departments try to offer staff a job that employees like, thus reducing the risk of employee liability loss and psychological ownership. Personnel management, by its very nature, is most productive in an environment that focuses on human capital, which is a key resource in the sports industry. After all, sport is essentially the production and consumption of human (sports) activities. Effective management of this resource is paramount to achieving positive results for organizations. The management of the sports industry has become much more complex with the development of the sport. In addition to technical coaching knowledge for a club manager, knowledge of other areas is essential for successful work. One of the most important is human resource management. The managers of modern advanced football clubs have mastered the basic directions of human resource management and thus manage the proper management of their club. The activities of a club manager in today's reality are associated with great risks, high pay, great popularity among the people and world-class negotiations. Successful teamwork is impossible without recruitment, professional training, analysis and documentation. In addition to training, the manager of a sports organization also has to determine compensations, provide conflict resolution and motivation in the team. Keywords: Human Resources, Human Resources Recruitment, Impact of Motivation on the Football Industry, Football Club Management.

Effects of Employee Well-Being and Self-Efficacy on the Relationship between Coaching Leadership and Knowledge Sharing Intention: A Study of UK and US Employees.

Knowledge acquisition practices are important to enterprises, particularly since market competition is intensifying. In recent years, organizations have begun to pay more attention to knowledge sharing practices. Many organizations are looking for methods to motivate their employees to actively share knowledge with other employees. This study uses the conservation of resources theory to examine coaching leadership as an antecedent—and employee well-being as a mediator—in facilitating knowledge sharing intention; it finds that self-efficacy is the boundary condition in these relations. We collected data in two waves and recruited participants online—full-time employees in the UK and US. Using a sample of 322 employees, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to test the validity of the results and used hierarchical multiple regression to examine the direct and interaction effects. Then, we used the bootstrapping method to test the indirect and moderated mediation effects. Our results show that coaching leadership is positively related to knowledge sharing intention, and employee well-being mediates the relationship. Moreover, self-efficacy positively moderates the direct and indirect effects. Our findings demonstrate that employee well-being is a mediating mechanism in the relationship between coaching leadership and knowledge sharing intention, with self-efficacy acting as a boundary condition.

Managerial coaching and tacit knowledge sharing: The role of gratitude and overqualification

Although researchers have recognized the critical role of leader behavior in knowledge management practice, scant attention is paid to the managerial coaching, and the mechanism and boundary condition of which managerial coaching affects follower tacit knowledge sharing remains understudied. Drawing on affective event theory, we argue that managerial coaching may positively influence follower knowledge sharing via the mediating role of follower gratitude. Follower perceived overqualification would moderate the relationship between managerial coaching and gratitude such that managerial coaching exerts a stronger positive influence on gratitude for those employees with a lower perceived overqualification. To test these ideas, we conducted two studies. A ten-working day quantitative diary survey of 232 employees from an internet company supported our whole theoretical model. The implications of our findings for both theory and practice were discussed.

Examining the Roles and Consequent Decision-Making Processes of High-Level Strength and Conditioning Coaches

Research into sports coaches has identified the valuable role they play concerning social support provided to athletes together with their contribution to social and cultural interactions within both the participation and performance domains. The purpose of the present study was to qualitatively extract and examine the knowledge and on-task cognitions of high-level coaches (HLCs) within strength and conditioning (S and C). Applied cognitive task analysis (ACTA) was used to examine ten HLCs, each purposefully sampled to reflect over eight years of work in full time environments. The analysis of responses demonstrated HLCs engage in a pattern of innovative and diverse thinking, together with adaptability and multilevel planning, designed to promote an inclusive approach from performers, coaches and management. Commonality was demonstrated within the decision making of HLCs during the design of training programs. Communication was another important consideration when connecting with athletes, observing athletes, speaking to the head coach and integrating their approach with others. A confident, flexible approach to adapting to situational demands was evident and supported by the ability to recall and select from a wide range of previously learnt and tested strategies. Evidence is offered for the importance of interpersonal and social factors in HLCs’ relationships with athletes and coaches. The incorporation of strategies to support versatile, dynamic decision making within future S and C coach development materials will support more impactful performances by coaches at all stages of the coaching process.

Knowledge Enhancement of Aceh Province Coaches on Basic Life Support Material

Objective: The research objective was to analyze the effect of providing material about Basic Life Support (BLS) on increasing the knowledge of coaches. Methods: This study was an experimental study with one group pretest and posttest design. Subjects of the study were 10 male coaches from Aceh Province, aged 22-32 years, from 5 different types of sport, namely Rugby, athletics, Taekwondo, Archery, and Karate. Data analysis used descriptive analysis, chi-square (p<0.05), and paired sample t-test (p<0.05). The results showed that the average age was 26.7 years. 30% of the subjects had a high school degree, 50% of the subjects had undergraduate degree, and 20% of the subjects had a Master degree. The level of coach's knowledge about BLS increased by 40.37% after receiving material about BLS. The knowledge level of the coaches was different before and after receiving education about BLS (56.67 and 79.55; p = 0.001). It was also related to the level of education (x2 = 0.007*). Conclusions: The level of the coach's knowledge about BLS is related to education level. The coaches with undergraduate degree had better knowledge than others. The study concludes that providing BLS materials could effectively improve the knowledge level of the coaches from Aceh province.

Mental Imagery Applicative Model for Beginner Badminton Coaches

The implementation of mental imagery in the badminton sport coaching is often neglected, especially for beginner badminton coaches. As an integral part of psychological skill training (PST), the intervention of mental imagery could be conducted in education and training programs. The objective of the study is to help improve the knowledge, attitude, and skill of badminton coaches of the beginners about how mental imagery could be integrated in the training process. The program was conducted in a workshop and coaching practical training involving 20 beginner badminton coaches and 56 beginner student-athletes aged 10 - 13. The results of the analysis showed that the education and training program were successful on improving knowledge, attitude, and skill of the badminton coaches for beginners regarding the implementation of integrating mental imagery in a training process. Hence, it can be concluded that the applicable conceptual framework of using mental imagery developed in this study can be used as an applicative model for implementing mental imagery programs in an integrated manner with the training process.

Knowledge and Competences of Racket Sports Coaches: What do They Think and Know?

Knowledge and Competences of Racket Sports Coaches: What do They Think and Know?

This study analyzed the professional, interpersonal and intrapersonal knowledge as well as the competences considered most important to Brazilian coaches who work with four different racket sports (badminton, squash, tennis and table tennis). A total of 150 coaches (122 men and 28 women) participated in this study, most of whom were tennis coaches (47%), followed by badminton (28%), table tennis (16%) and squash (12%). For data collection, a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Coaches' Knowledge and Competence Questionnaire (CKCQ) (Quinaud et. Al, 2018) were applied. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the importance and domain attributed by the coaches to the items. In general, knowledge and competences had high scores of attributed importance and perceived domain, however the knowledge of program implementation and evaluation, professional development of coaches and the competence to develop the coaching philosophy had the lowest values of perceived domain.

A Chinese perspective on the actual and preferred sources of coaching knowledge

Efforts to improve coaching effectiveness require an understanding of the common sources of coaches’ knowledge acquisition. Sports coaches utilise multiple learning sources, yet limited direct evidence elucidates the manner in which Chinese coaches learn to coach and the evolution of their learning sources throughout their careers’ development. This research examines the actual and preferred sources of coaching knowledge for Chinese coaches and analyses changes in learning sources from Junior to Senior level coaches. One hundred coaches from China, including 60 Junior coaches, 23 Intermediate coaches and 17 Senior coaches, completed an online questionnaire. The survey results indicated that coaches acquire knowledge from formal, informal and non-formal learning situations. However, formal coach education (coach education programmes) is the most important source of knowledge acquisition for all coaches. Furthermore, as coaches develop, the sources to acquire knowledge will gradually change from athletic experience to interaction with other coaches. Based on these findings, we suggest that national sport governing bodies build more comprehensive coach education systems by establishing a scientific mentoring system and organising regular coach-themed clinics, seminars, meetings and so on. Future research is needed to examine how coaches in China’s dominant programmes learn to coach and how this learning is practically applied.

“It Is Like a Little Journey”: Deaf International Futsal Players’ and Coaches’ Experiences in Collaborative Blended Learning

The aim of this study was twofold; first, to explore the challenges and successes faced by deaf international futsal players when using a collaborative blended learning approach in preparation for a major competition, and second, to provide a discussion of key coaching lessons learned to inspire coaches to consider how to best develop their coaching knowledge and practices. Data were collected from 12 players via six semistructured focus groups, along with 36 reflective diaries maintained by the two researchers (who held the role of “Joint Head Coach” and “Performance Analyst”), using a critical participatory action research methodological approach. Data collection and analysis were an on-going and cyclical process during the 7-month study. Four key themes were identified: “a little journey: a connected approach to learning”; “ownership, collaboration, and connection”; “communication barriers and fear of misinterpretation”; and “players’ initial ‘buy-in’ to the constructivist approach to learning.” Key coaching lessons highlighted the need for a “flexible” and “connected” approach to learning. In this study, through learning in-action and on-action, the authors often found themselves as “social” managers in trying to explore interrelational complexities and support individuals to build trust, an aspect seen by players as crucial for actively developing collaborative blended learning within the group.

Evaluation of stoppage time due to field injuries in professional football games: do players really need medical help so often?

ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the incidence of stoppage time due to field injuries in professional football (soccer) games and to evaluate if the players involved really need medical care and whether team physicians deal with fake injuries. A total of 893 injury time-outs occurred leading to 956 treatments during 266 matches included in the study. The mean stoppage time was 88.7 ± 34.4 seconds. Less than one fifth of the injuries (17.4%) resulted in an impossibility to complete the game. The overall time-loss injury incidence which led players to miss the next game was 9.1/1000 match-hours (n = 80, 8.4% of all injuries). The players on teams in the lead at the time of the incident had significantly higher injury time-out incidence than players on teams who were losing (p < 0.05). Increasing the knowledge of team physicians, coaches, referees, and rule-makers about the medical needs of players during the game will help to identify the behaviour pattern of players.

Improving Knowledge of Sports Games Training Programs for Junior High School Physical Education Teachers in the Purwokerto Region

The preparation of training programs for sports achievement coaching activities in schools, mainly Junior High Schools (SMP) through the Sports Extracurricular program, is an essential factor that coaches and mentor teachers must pay attention to so that the coaching process can run well. The purpose of this Community Service (PKM) activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of coaches and sports extracurricular coaches in preparing training programs. The activity method used is through training, mentoring and activity evaluation. The training was attended by 20 sports extracurricular coaches and teachers in SMP throughout Purwokerto. The training and mentoring results showed that in the initial test, it was found that most of the participants did not understand the preparation of an exercise program so that they were not able to compile an exercise program properly. In contrast, the final test carried out at the end of the activity showed an increase in the participants' understanding of a sports training program's preparation. The participants training participants can compile a game sports training program that will be implemented in school extracurricular activities.

Perspectives of Coaches On Alcohol Consumption Among Student -athletes In Kenya and Strategies For Control

Numerous studies have been conducted on alcohol and sports among student athletes focusing on the causes, consequence, and intervention measures. However, information is scarce about the perspectives of coaches on alcohol consumption among student athletes. This study examined knowledge and perspectives of coaches on alcohol use among student athletes. Sixty coaches (N-60) were purposively selected from public universities in Kenya. A self-reported questionnaire was used to collect data. Findings indicate coaches to have lengthy experience in coaching and they were aware of alcohol consumption among student athletes. Student athletes consumed more alcohol off-season than during season. Senior students consumed more alcohol than the other students. Coaches lacked support of administrators in enforcing anti-alcohol policies. Education, counseling and benching the players were the commonly used intervention measures by coaches.

TRAINING SPORT COACHES FOR ATHLETES WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES: THE TEAMUP PROJECT

This paper presents the Erasmus + TeamUp project which aimed to provide basic skills and knowledge to sport coaches in order to enable them to work with individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and act as facilitators in their own country and local community transmitting this knowledge and values. The rationale for conducting the program is analyzed and its aims and objectives are described, with emphasis given on all relative educational material developed for application in sport and physical education settings. In particular, one of the main activities of the program was the development of the educational package by the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, University of Thessaly, aiming to increase knowledge and skills of sport coaches in three different chapters concerning ID, Special Olympics and Paralympic Games, individualized education programming and physical activity adaptations and inclusion strategies for athletes with ID, respectively. Dissemination of this educational package and results of sport coaches’ responses from Greece, Croatia, Romania and Spain to three online questionnaires relative to the three topics created, are also presented and analyzed. Finally, practical implications and suggestions for further development are discussed. &#x0D; &#x0D; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0728/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
