The influence of physical and health activities on the lifestyle of students

The purpose of the work: to investigate the impact of physical culture and health activities on the lifestyle of students and to determine ways to optimize it. Methodology: theoretical research methods were used, in particular, analysis and generalization of methodological, psychological-pedagogical and educational-methodical literature, which made it possible to reveal the influence of physical culture and health activities on the lifestyle of students, questionnaires to determine the health status and lifestyle of respondents. Scientific novelty: it is recommended to abandon the forced content of physical education and address the personality of the student, his interests and needs in the field of physical and spiritual education. After all, it is known that conscious motor activity and participation in physical culture and health activities are a necessary condition for the harmonious development of student youth, which acquires the quality of a purposeful influence on a specific person according to his needs, it was established that the main focus of further improvement of the physical education program in institutions of higher education should become an intensification of the educational process by conducting classes with physical culture and health activities.
 Conclusions: in this way, the analysis of literary sources and the results of the questionnaire allow us to draw the following conclusions: physical culture and health activities have a positive effect on the formation of the lifestyle of students of higher education institutions, but its organization does not correspond to modern reforms in the field of physical education and the need for significant changes and the introduction of new ways optimization, the essence of which should be reduced to the formation of physical culture of the individual and a healthy lifestyle. The motivation of students of higher education institutions for physical culture and health activities is facilitated by an interconnected system of academic classes and extracurricular forms of activity, namely: morning hygienic gymnastics, physical education minutes during independent classes, walks, classes in groups of general physical training, sectional classes in various types of sports , sports competitions, tourism, independent work on the development of physical qualities, etc.

Generalization and maintenance of skill trials from physical education to recess in elementary school

ABSTRACT Background: Being skillful is a prerequisite for lifelong participation in physical activity (WHO 2022). Hence, investigating the quality of children’s skill performance is important. If physical education wants to contribute to the development of a physically active lifestyle, demonstrating whether children apply skills learned in physical education in a less structured setting such as recess is worthwhile. Purpose: This study systematically replicated and extended previous work connecting the content of physical education (i.e. parkour) with voluntary organized physical activity during recess. It was investigated whether children would maintain participation in parkour recess after the parkour sport education season in physical education ended. The research questions in this study were: (1) How did children’s voluntary participation in parkour recess differ between the generalization and maintenance phase?; and (2) How did children’s performance of skill trials in parkour recess differ between generalization and maintenance phase in comparison to physical education? Sex effects were investigated in both research questions. Methods: Participants in this study were seven physical education teachers (2 females and 5 males) and 147 grade 2 children (55 girls and 92 boys, mean age: 8 years). Seven classes from different schools in Flanders (Belgium) received a 10-lesson sport education parkour season in physical education. During the generalization phase, parkour was taught in physical education and five voluntary 20-min parkour recess sessions were organized during lunch recess. During the maintenance phase, teachers taught other content during physical education instead of parkour and another five parkour recess sessions were organized during lunch recess. All physical education lessons and parkour recess sessions were videorecorded. Children’s voluntary participation in each parkour recess session was recorded and their correct skill trials in physical education and parkour recess were collected using systematic observation. Findings: Children’s voluntary participation in parkour recess significantly declined from generalization (77%) to maintenance phase (52%), p < .001. In parkour recess, children performed significantly more total skill trials (58 vs. 51, p = .013), skill trials per minute (4.20 vs. 3.49, p < .001), and correct skill trials per minute (1.67 vs. 1.45, p = .029) in the maintenance versus generalization phase. Girls had a higher proportion of correct skill trials than boys (42% vs 36%, p = .01) in maintenance phase. No sex effect was found on children’s performance of skill trials during physical education. Conclusions: More than half of the children continued voluntarily to participate in parkour recess during the maintenance phase. Both boys and girls performed more skill trials in organized parkour recess compared to physical education. Connecting organized recess with physical education provided children with an opportunity to apply what they had learned in physical education. This study provides evidence of physical education’s potential to contribute to the development of children’s volitional physically active lifestyles.

Construction of Physical Education Teaching System in Colleges and Universities Based on the Concept of Lifelong Physical Education

Physical education always undertakes the two core contents of physical quality education and comprehensive ability education in colleges and universities, helping students cultivate correct health awareness, promoting the improvement of students' physical functions and health levels, reflecting the importance and particularity of talent cultivation and national quality improvement in the stage of higher education. In the context of the continuous expansion of our national sports vision, the continuous promotion of national sports projects, and the continuous development of physical education in colleges and universities, the physical quality of college students is constantly declining. In response, this article has conducted a research on college physical education based on the concept of lifelong physical education, using changes in students' physique, learning efficiency, and innovation awareness as indicators to identify whether teaching methods are effective. Regular evaluation of the effectiveness of teaching methods can ensure the effectiveness and scientific of method innovation. To continuously enhance students' autonomy and enthusiasm, ensure that each student can receive reasonable physical exercise, and achieve their own healthy growth and development.

A Social Network Analysis of Global Scholarship on Physical Education Content Knowledge

ABSTRACT We use a co-authorship network analysis to describe and examine the social network of researchers studying physical education content knowledge worldwide. Co-authorship network analysis is a method for determining the scope, trend, and focus of research around a topic. It provides a way to evaluate both the growth of a field and to examine the extent of research collaboration. Our review consists of 101 articles that were examined in our network analysis. Our results show that the research on content knowledge occurs within and among 13 high-income economies. Research productivity in this area is on an upward trajectory since 1990. The research in physical education occurs in a distributed network with some authors serving as key hubs for research collaboration. From a global perspective, there is a need to create links to low-income economies to strengthen their research capacity.

Slackline: Applicability and Benefits for School Physical Education

Slackline is an adventure sport whose goal is to balance on a nylon ribbon and which, in recent years, has been gaining more and more fans around the world. This article discusses the benefits and applicability of this innovative sport as a content of school physical education, justifying the physical and social benefits obtained from this sport for the training of students and that adventure sports should be worked on in the curriculum of schools, as they are also part of the body culture of movement. The field work consisted of a questionnaire with 10 questions and had the participation of 15 teachers from different schools (public and private) in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro who have worked or work with slackline in their classes. Through research, it was found that Slackline, despite being a new modality and there are few studies on the sport, its practicality and benefits for physical education classes for children and adolescents are proven and, therefore, should be part of the school curriculum.

Developing Students’ Game Competence: Situated Game Teaching through Set Plays

Sports are a central part of Grades 3-12 curricular content in school physical education. Guided by the theory of situated learning, a new curricular model called Situated Game Teaching through Set Plays (SGTSP) has been proposed to systematically teach sports to 3rd–12th graders and college students using situated set plays from a situational and relational perspective. This article introduces SGTSP and its key features and uses tennis as an example to provide guidance on how to teach sports using SGTSP. This model provides an alternative approach to develop students’ decision-making ability and game competence through authentic, meaningful, and practical real-life game scenarios, which involve a complex interplay of techniques, tactics, anticipation, responses, and interaction with the dynamic game environment. To effectively implement this model, physical education teachers need to develop in-depth content knowledge, follow five pedagogical steps, and use effective classroom management to maximize student learning in physical education.

Integrating cognitive contents in physical education classes

The aim was to analyse the effect of a 4-week programme integrating cognitive contents in Physical Education (CogniPE) on cognitive performance (CP) and emotional intelligence (EI) of adolescents. A randomised controlled trial was conducted with a control group (CG, n=58), which performed physical exercises at low intensity (i.e., stretching or pilates), an experimental group 1, which performed small-sided games of team sports (EG1, n=62), and experimental group 2, which performed CogniPE (EG2, n=60). Intensity of exercises and scores were registered after each station to classify and motivate the teams. Selective attention and concentration increased by 11.9% and 9.2% in EG1, and by 18.2% and 14.4% in EG2, respectively, compared to CG. Mathematical calculation improved by 15.9% and 18.7% in EG1 and EG2, compared to CG. In EI, well-being improved by 10.9% in EG1, sociability improved by 12.8% in EG1 and 15.9% in EG2 compared to CG. It is concluded to use CogniPE in school context.

The significance of the game in the didactic-methodical basedness of physical education lessons

A game is a form of activity that during the historical development of society provided the participants, but even today it provides a certain amount of fun and joy, as spontaneous activities through a huge variety of game types. In this paper, the attention is focused on the game as a practical value in an important social area such as physical culture, i.e. firstly, on sports where the outcome is prestige, then on recreational activities and, finally, on games that have a specific education value.The strategy of each of these games is determined by a set of rules that systematize the possible actions of each participant so that, from several combinations, the players opt for those moves that are the most rational for achieving the goal of a specific game. In physical culture games, can be conditionally divided in relation to their specificities. - Sports, competitive games, - Games in recreation, - Games in school physical education, in this paper special attention is paid to their educational value as essential content in school physical education. Sports competitive games, articulated in sports categorized clubs with players of amateur or professional status, as individuals or in teams. For whom these activities represent a certain source of existence. Games in recreation are the most common contents that are used as spontaneous activities in free time according to the participants' own choice, as well as other diverse activities, with the aim of improving health and thus the general quality of life. In recreation, apart from optimal physical activity, the victory over the rival is not in the first place, but more like mental stimulation for good fun and mood. Games in school physical education are the subject of interest in this paper, but more as a didactic category. First of all, from the point of view of intensively organized teaching, when it comes to the didactic structure of the physical education class, the goal is that the class represents a didactic unit, and the question of choosing those possible games for introducing students to work in the class, which are part of the methodology of training and practicing as biomechanical similar, is actualized. to the main task and are predominantly of a situational nature. Second, from the point of view of rationalizing the mechanism of motor stereotype formation, these games, as exercises, contribute to further sharpening the perception of muscle receptors that are engaged in performing the movements of the main coordination-technical task. The paper shows: - sports games without and with a ball and - a game with the traditional prop of a big screw Features of the sports game: - contains dreamy elements of situational technique, - the development of some cognitive ability such as the perception of space, the position of the players and their movement, - develops agility and coping in new situations, - affects the memory of some tactical elements and to the rational selection of tactical solutions Features of the game with a large screw (passing under the spinning screw, overhanging the rope): - improves the perception of situations, - timely decision-making to react in order to achieve the goal, - functional cooperation with teammates. The work is illustrated with film and photographs: - one handball game, - three volleyball games, - one basketball game, - a game with a big screw.

Ultimately, the findings of this study highlight the importance of teaching aids in the process of physical education and the need for a more systematic approach to their selection and use.

Building a Foundation for Health Informatics Content in Physical Therapy Education Through Concept Analysis and Concept Mapping.

Health informatics curricular content, while beneficial to the spectrum of education in physical therapy, is currently only required in physical therapist education programs, and even there, it is only crudely defined. The purpose of our study was to use the techniques of concept analysis and concept mapping to provide an outline of informatics content that can be the foundation for curriculum development and the construction of informatics competencies for physical therapy. There is no established consensus on the definition of health informatics. Medical and nursing informatics literature that clarifies and agrees on the attributes of health informatics is insufficient for curriculum development. Concept analysis is an approach commonly used in nursing and other health professions to analyze and deconstruct a term, in this case, health informatics, in order to provide clarity on its meaning. A total of 73 definitions of health informatics were extracted from articles that met search criteria. We used an 8-step methodology from the literature for concept analysis, which included 1) selecting a concept; 2) determining the aims of the analysis; 3) identifying uses of the concept; 4) determining the defining attributes of the concept; 5) identifying a model case; 6) identifying related and illegitimate cases; 7) identifying antecedents and consequences; and 8) defining empirical referents. In addition, concept mapping was used to develop a visual representation of the thematic attributes and the elements that make them up. We provide a visual map of the concept we now term "informatics in human health and health care" and clarify its attributes of data, disciplinary lens, multidisciplinary science, technology, and application. We also provide clarification through the presentation of a model case and a contrary case. Concept analysis and mapping of informatics in human health and health care provided clarity on content that should be addressed across the continuum of physical therapy education. The next steps from this work will be to develop competencies for all levels of physical therapy education.

Effective Content Delivery in Physical Education

In this article efforts has being made to analyze effective content delivery in physical education. Our little investigation has shown that the present nature of physical education contents delivered to students in most secondary schools in Nigeria is in a state of quagmire. The question here is how will the students perform academically since the contents delivered are not up to physical education standards. The major concern of this paper is to relate some varying factors with contents delivery in physical education. These variable are curriculum contents ,availability of sport facilities, teachers training, time allotment, teacher supervisor and it rounds up with conclusion and recommendation.

РАЗВИТИЕ ФИЗИЧЕСКИХ КАЧЕСТВ ШКОЛЬНИКОВ 9–14 ЛЕТ СРЕДСТВАМИ РЕГБИ

Statement of the problem and purpose. Currently, there is a need to understand the importance of physical culture, both social and individual value, which makes it possible to identify new trends in the development of public consciousness and personal motivations for the development of the cultural heritage of the planet [Minogina, 2017, p. 74]. The article analyzes and determines the degree of use of individual human abilities – the fundamental factors determining the level of culture of social consciousness and development. The methodology of the research consists of a theoretical analysis and generalization of the data of scientific and methodological literature of foreign and Russian scientists recognized by the scientific community in the field of physical culture, sports, psychology, and pedagogy, as well as practical experience in preparing the younger generation for rugby classes. Research results. Functional capabilities provided to a person during physical education and sports have almost unlimited possibilities. The tasks solved in the research work indicate the need to analyze the conditions of physical training of young rugby players at the present stage. In accordance with the analysis of the conditions for training young athletes, a complex of general developmental exercises has been developed. These exercises are provided as a means of physical education through the rugby game sport within the sensitive period of development of the younger generation. Conclusion. Experimental work has sufficiently proved the hypothesis that when practicing physical culture and sports, in particular, a game sport – rugby, it is necessary to take into account favorable periods of development of basic physical qualities in children during the period of sensitive development. In the research work, materials were considered to substantiate the arguments in favor of using an integrated approach to the training process of young rugby players aged 9–14. Practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the material contained in the work, as well as methodological recommendations, will help in a meaningful understanding of the educational process in physical culture and help predict its development, which is especially important in school education. The practical significance of the study is determined by the new placement of accents and guidelines in the content of physical education of schoolchildren, the choice of means and methods of organizing the pedagogical process focused on intensification and diversification of education.

FEATURES OF THE ORGANIZATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN TODAY'S REALITIES

The article reveals the peculiarities of the organization of physical education of students in institutions of higher education. Disadvantages of distance learning during physical exercises were revealed. The modern approach, solutions and methods of physical education of students in the conditions of war and coronavirus disease are indicated. An analysis of the level of physical fitness and motor activity of student youth in distance learning conditions was carried out. The state of health of modern youth was analyzed and the level of students' motivation for physical education classes was investigated. Different approaches to solving this problem were also determined during the analysis of literary sources: rethinking the content of physical culture and health education; improvement of physical culture and health work in institutions of higher education and pedagogical training of specialists; increasing the level of somatic health as a result of the introduction of control of the functional state of the body in the process of physical education and health activities. The uncertainty of the very system of organization of physical education of students causes some concern. The approaches practiced in this system, in particular, conducting joint classes with healthy children under the leadership of one teacher, engaging students in general lessons or in general, exempting students from physical exercises in physical education classes are unfounded and ineffective. Since such children can and should engage in motor activities and perform optimal physical activity for them, because scientific research proves the positive impact of active activities on children's health. In addition, joint classes under the guidance of one teacher will not bring the desired result, because he will be forced to distribute his attention to a large number of children.
