Canicross Pilot Programme: Basic Considerations for Its Implementation as an Extracurricular Sports Activity

Canicross is a sport that consists of running while being pulled by a dog in a natural environment. Due to the benefits to health and well-being that it brings to the people and dogs that practise it, this sport could be implemented as an animal-assisted intervention (AAI) in the educational field. Against this background, the present work describes a pilot experience carried out in an educational centre in the Basque Country for the implementation of canicross as an extracurricular sports activity. The main objective is to describe the educational potential of canicross as an extracurricular activity that fosters students’ values of respect for animals and physical activity (PA) in natural environments. The results of this innovative experience provide the first evidence of the valuable role of animal activities in this educational context, where current academic research is practically non-existent. In conclusion, we highlight the novelty of the proposal and the motivating effect that the dogs in this case had among the students in encouraging them to practise PA and adhere to values of respect and animal welfare.

Adherence to the WHO recommendation of three weekly days of vigorous intensity activities in children: an accelerometry study of vigorous physical activity bouts.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children and adolescents incorporate vigorous intensity activities (VIAs) at least three days a week. This recommendation has not been sufficiently studied using objective methods, such as accelerometry. Physical education classes and extracurricular sports activities are optimal opportunities for compliance with this recommendation. To identify VIAs through bouts of vigorous physical activity (VPA-Bouts) evaluated with accelerometry and, with this, to know the compliance with the recommendation on VIAs. A cross-sectional study of the habitual physical activity of 353 children (8-9 years old) was carried out using accelerometry and participation in organized extracurricular sports activities was asked through a questionnaire. School days with and without physical education class, weekends, and the average weekly day were identified, as well as school time and out-of-school time. A VPA-Bout was defined as an interval of at least 60 minutes with a proportion of VPA of at least 16.7% in boys and 12.5% in girls (10.0 and 7.5 minutes/hour of VPA, respectively). The average daily time in organized extracurricular sports activities declared by questionnaire and the average daily duration of the VPA-Bouts evaluated with accelerometers in the extracurricular period was 21.3 (SD 19.8) and 23.9 (SD 31.2) minutes, respectively, in boys, whereas, in girls it was 20.2 (SD 17.4) and 11.0 (SD 16.9) minutes, respectively. In school time including a physical education class, there was a higher proportion of VPA-Bouts than without these classes (with: 28.6%, without: 2.1%, p < 0.001). Children who reported at least three weekly hours of organized extracurricular sports activities accumulated a higher proportion of school afternoons with VPA-Bouts than those with fewer weekly hours of this type of activities (≥3 hours/week: 27.5%, <3 hours/week: 9.3%, p < 0.001). On the weekend, boys who reported at least three weekly hours of organized extracurricular sports activities performed more VPA-Bouts than those participating in less weekly hours, while in girls no significant differences were observed (weekend; boys, ≥3 hours/week: 26.0%, <3 hours/week: 9.0%, p < 0.001; girls: 8.3%, 8.0%, p = 0.917). Compliance with the recommendation to incorporate VIAs at least three days a week was 23.8%. Children who reported at least three weekly hours of extracurricular sports activities achieved higher compliance than those who reported fewer extracurricular activities (≥3 hours/week: 35.1%, <3 hours/week: 12.7%, p < 0.001). Additionally, boys showed higher compliance rates than girls (boys: 32.9%, girls: 15.3%, p < 0.001). One in every four children met the WHO recommendation to incorporate VIAs at least three days a week, as evaluated by accelerometry. Physical education classes and extracurricular organized sports activities contributed to compliance with this recommendation.

Application of Some Physical Education and Physical Training Models for Physical Fitness Development Among Primary School Students in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam

Physical education activities in primary schools in Thanh Hoa province are strictly carried out under the direction and guidance of the Department of Education and Training, Divisions of Education and Training of districts and towns. Physical education classes consist of in-class hours and extracurricular sports activities. Many schools have organized classes or clubs for extracurricular activities to create a healthy playground, helping students to promote their talents and fortes. However, these clubs are established according to a spontaneous model, resulting in the limited number of participating students and irregular attendance. In addition, they have not received enthusiastic support from parents. Research on physical fitness development for students in general and primary school students in Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam is currently a very necessary and important task. Based on the evaluation of the current situation of extracurricular physical training, physical qualities of students, the research process has selected and applied some physical training models to develop physical fitness for primary school students in Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam.

Coeducation in physical education in Switzerland – A national inventory of the legal basis and its implementation

Introduction In Switzerland, sporting activity among girls and young women has increased in recent years. In comparison, however, boys and young men continue to show a higher level of sporting activity at every age level and in all language regions (Lamprecht et al., 2021). As physical education (PE) lessons are an important socialisation factor for extracurricular sports activities, the question arises as to how PE is taught in Switzerland to do justice to the genders. To date, there has been little scientific research in Switzerland into which cantons implement coeducational PE and which legal or regulatory bases they rely on. Due to this research gap, this contribution will analyse which cantons implement coeducational PE and to what extent these can be linked to the legal bases or language-regional curricula. Methods With the help of a document analysis of the current legal and regulatory bases as well as the three language-regional curricula a national inventory of the existing guidelines is conducted. Furthermore, a qualitative survey of all cantonal school offices analyses the current situation regarding coeducational PE lessons in compulsory education in Switzerland. Results The results indicate that there are level-specific, cantonal, and language-regional differences. Language cultural differences are particularly evident at lower secondary school level, since in the German-speaking cantons PE lessons are mostly mono-educational and in the French and Italian-speaking cantons they are usually coeducational (Hayoz, under review). Discussion In the German-speaking cantons, especially for lower secondary level, the organisational recommendations given in these curricula are used by the municipalities and schools to make and legitimise their decisions. This recommendation can be critically reflected upon and discussed regarding the holistic educational goals of compulsory schooling, as the aim is to provide competence-orientated PE lessons and to promote interdisciplinary skills. According to Alfermann (1992), it must be questioned why precisely this differentiation feature – and no other heterogeneity feature – is used to divide the existing classes. Although performance is a constitutive characteristic for schools and for sport in general, performance is merely one “pedagogical perspective” among many for PE lessons (Frohn, 2019). Conclusion In order to analyse the specific didactic implementation of mono- and coeducational teaching in PE and to better understand the language-cultural differences, further national studies would be necessary at both local as well as school level.

Parents’ Involvement in Choosing Extracurricular Sports Activities: A Gendered Perspective from Israel

This study explores the multifaceted motivations behind parental decisions to enroll their children in organized sports, with a focus on how these decisions intersect with gender norms and values. Through qualitative interviews with mothers and fathers in Israel, this research uncovers a complex interplay between societal expectations, personal values, and the gender identities of both parents and children. A thematic analysis of the interviews revealed that despite a societal shift towards more gender-neutral perspectives, traditional gender roles persist, particularly in the attitudes of fathers towards the sports participation of their sons. This research identifies a paradox where girls are encouraged to participate in a broader range of sports, including those traditionally viewed as masculine, while boys face more restrictions, particularly against engaging in sports perceived as feminine. Mothers generally exhibit more flexibility in challenging gender norms, suggesting the potential for gradual change in future generations. This study’s findings contribute to the understanding of how parental guidance shapes children’s sports involvement and the perpetuation or challenging of gender norms within this context. Future research could benefit from a broader, more diverse sample and a mixed-methods approach to enhance generalizability and reduce potential biases.

Conclusion: With the end of the epidemic, although extracurricular sports activities did not return to the pre-epidemic level, students' attitude, cognition, motivation, and other subjective factors have significantly improved, and they pay more attention to physical health.

Research on the Current Situation and Countermeasures of Extracurricular Sports Activities for Female College Students in Jilin City

This article uses the literature method, questionnaire survey method and mathematical statistics method as the research methods. It takes female college students from Jilin Northeast Electric Power University, Jilin Medical University, and Jilin Beihua University as the survey subjects to investigate the participation of female college students in extracurricular sports activities in Jilin City. A series of analyzes and studies were conducted on attitudes, grade distribution, motivations, projects, forms, times, duration, location status and influencing factors. Female college students in Jilin City participate in extracurricular sports activities in a variety of ways. Most of them participate with classmates and friends and in various ways organized by the school. The main motivations are to enhance their physical fitness and enjoy physical and mental pleasure. The main participants in extracurricular sports activities are freshmen and sophomores, and most of the sports are less confrontational and suitable for women. Female college students in Jilin City mainly engage in extracurricular sports activities in free venues, and the time and frequency of activities are relatively reasonable. The factors that affect female college students’ participation in extracurricular sports activities are also multi-faceted. Among them, sports ability, personal interests, sports awareness, insufficient sports facilities, lack of organizational guidance, and campus sports atmosphere are all factors that restrict female college students’ participation in extracurricular sports activities.

Impact of socioeconomic level on the physical condition of schools: A motor gap

The objective of this study was to analyse the physical condition of students in the third cycle of Primary Education from various educational centres in the Province of Alicante, in relation to their socioeconomic level. The study sample was made up of a total of 240 students from the third cycle of Primary Education, specifically 136 boys and 104 girls, from various schools located in three different geographical environments in the province of Alicante (urban, rural, coastal). A correlational and descriptive study was carried out. To measure the socioeconomic level of the students, families completed the Social Class Questionnaire; Regarding the anthropometric and motor condition of the students, body composition, musculoskeletal capacity, aerobic capacity and motor capacity were evaluated, for which the ALPHA-Fitness battery was used. In addition, to measure the students' adherence to the Mediterranean diet and extracurricular sports activity, the students filled out the KIDMED and PAQ-C questionnaires (Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children) respectively. The results showed that the students in the study with a higher socioeconomic level have a better physical condition in terms of body composition, musculoskeletal capacity, aerobic capacity and motor capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to implement programs and activities that encourage the practice of physical activity and the acquisition of healthy habits, especially in the most disadvantaged areas.

Colleges and universities are the main place to cultivate talents, and as the backbone of ideological and political education and management of college students, how to make full use of the important bonding power of counselors to realize all-embracing, whole process of cultivation, all-round cultivation of people, manage the extracurricular time of students, cultivate the moral cultivation of students, and develop a new way for the enhancement of the effectiveness of education in colleges and universities, and at the same time, provide a new platform for college and university sports cultivation mode.

Sports Work Strategy of College Counselors Based on MySQL Database Big Data Analysis

In order to turn our attention to the real progress of the education world, this paper makes a concrete study on the efficiency optimization of MySQL database under big data. On the basis of discussing the significance of cultivating students' team spirit, this paper analyzes and discusses the strategies of cultivating students' team spirit in extracurricular sports activities. MySQL database, as one of the widely used open source databases, naturally has relatively excellent running efficiency, but it also poses a strong challenge for further improving the running efficiency of MySQL database. In many external services, databases are needed, whether in websites or other large-scale software. All the mobile users who need to use the database to store a large amount of user data have caused many websites to collect users and user behavior analysis, which can make them better optimize the website and products, so the dependence and application of data are increasing, and the optimization of databases can greatly improve the ability of developers to retrieve and analyze data.

The social gradient in adolescent mental health problems and the role of physical activity

Abstract Background In Sweden, the share of 13 and 15-year-old students reporting ≥ 2 psychosomatic symptoms (PSS) more than once a week doubled between 1985/1986 and 2017/2018, during which there were increases in both income inequalities and adolescents with insufficient physical activity (PA). PA during non-school time has been shown to be negatively associated with stress and PSS among adolescents. We aimed to explore whether there is a socioeconomic status (SES)-related gradient in adolescent mental health problems, and if so, whether non-school sedentary time (SED) and PA mediate this social gradient. Methods We used data from STARS, a prospective and observational cohort study of 2283 7th grade students in Västra Götaland, Sweden. A total of 1235 participants (mean age 13.6±0.394 years, 59% females) returned with valid accelerometer data (≥ 10 hours per day for ≥ 4 days), answered questionnaires regarding stress and PSS, and had parents’ earned income registry data. Ordinary least square for linear regressions and bootstrapping for mediation analysis were used with 95% CI, repeated for males and females separately. Results We found that higher income was associated (α = 5%) with less stress (-0.1108, p ≤ 0.001 and PSS (-0.1315, p ≤ 0.001). For stress, we found that non-school PA partly mediated this association. This was true for light PA (LPA) (-0.0040, [-0.0093-0.0003]), moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) (-0.0077, [-0.0152-0.0023]) and vigorous PA (VPA) (-0.0090, [-0.0166, -0.0031]). When separated by sex, mediation via PA was found only in females. For PSS, mediation effect was found for MVPA (-0.0071, [-0.0137, -0.0018]) and VPA (-0.0103, [-0.0182, -0.0039]), but not when separated by sex. Conclusions There is a social gradient in both stress and psychosomatic symptoms among adolescents, mediated by physical activity although to a relatively small part. This shows the relevance to inform policy on the need to enable extracurricular sports activities for adolescents. Key messages • Physical activity partly explains the social gradient in adolescent mental health. • Supporting extracurricular sports activities may help to reduce the social gradient in adolescent mental health.

MOTIVATION OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THEIR FREE TIME

The aim of this research was to examine whether and to what extent the socio-pedagogical characteristics of upper elementary school students contribute to their level of motivation for physical education in their free time. The defined sociopedagogical characteristics of students include gender, the grade they are in, school performance, and students' involvement in extracurricular sports activities. The population consists of students from the "Branko Copić" Elementary School in Prnjavor (Republica Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina). The sample comprises a total of 133 students, including 45 (33.80%) fifth-grade students, 42 (31.60%) seventhgrade students, and 46 (34.60%) ninth-grade students. To achieve this, a quantitative research approach was carried out. The defined research objectives represent fundamental components of the problem and the subject of the study. In the research, a self-created five-point Likert scale: "Students' Attitudes towards Physical Education in Their Free Time" was applied to assess the students' motivation for physical education in their free time. The reliability analysis yielded a satisfactory level of reliability with α=0.92. Using the survey questionnaire "Student Survey," information about the socio-pedagogical characteristics of the respondents was obtained, as well as how students spend their free time and the time intervals they have available for leisure activities during the day. The results indicate that the motivation of elementary school students for physical education is weak. A mild level of motivation for physical education is observed only in very good students.

S14-4 The unique role of community sport motivators in ‘connecting the dots’ in the Netherlands

Abstract Purpose In 98 % of all municipalities in the Netherlands, community sport motivators (in Dutch: Buurtsportcoaches) connect the dots between the sports sector, social sector, schools, care and childcare and even more. Their goal: motivating people of all ages to take up sport or become physically more active. Project description With now almost 6.000 of these professionals, their role is vital in Dutch sport policy and implementation, with tasks such as physical activity education, organizing events and activities, and advise clubs and childcare organizations. They work with local and social organizations and strengthen intersectoral collaboration. The implementation is coordinated on a national and local level and the co-funding is innovative: the government funds 40%, municipalities or local sport organisations 60%. The role of these professionals has been defined in national policies. One of the success factors is the fact that the tasks can be locally customized, according to the needs on a local level. Evaluation has been performed with quantitative and qualitative research. For instance, research shows that community sports coaches are responsible for both organising (95%) and supervising (86%) extracurricular sports activities at schools. A large majority (82%) of municipalities want to use community sports coaches to ensure that more children meet the exercise standard and that their motor skills improve. Conclusions Community sports motivators are here to stay in the Netherlands. Long-term sport policy is needed to build up the confidence in and capacities of this new sport professional. Their role is evolving: in the new National Sports Agreement (2022), strengthening implementation power is one of the targets. Community sports motivators will be more often deployed to organise or realise the referral of inactive people to the existing offer. And with the new School &amp; Environment programme, the Dutch government is committed to equal opportunities by giving sufficient sports and exercise an extra impulse. This starts in the neighbourhoods where the most vulnerable children live, also lagging behind in sports and exercise participation. Among started schools, good examples are already visible where clubs, community sports coaches and commercial sport providers make an important contribution to children's development.

Physical Fitness as a Predictor of Concentration Level of Students of Public Junior High Schools in Bantul

This study aims to determine Physical Fitness as a Predictor of Concentration Level of State Junior High School Students in Bantul. This type of research is quantitative with a correlational approach. The sample in this study were students in Bantul State Junior High School totaling 146 students. The instrument used to measure physical fitness is the TKJI test for children aged 13-15 years, while concentration is measured using the Grid Concentration Test. Data analysis techniques using Pearson Correlation Product Moment analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between physical fitness and the concentration level of students in Bantul State Junior High School. The contribution of physical fitness to the concentration level of students in Bantul State Junior High School is 32.20%, while the remaining 67.80% is influenced by other factors outside this study. Seeing the tendency of students who lack movement activities so that physical fitness, we hope that schools and educational institutions will encourage students to get more movement activities by utilizing extracurricular sports activities with maximum attention. For other researchers, research can be conducted with other independent variables, so that more variables that affect physical fitness can be identified.

Introduction: The practice of physical activity (PA) triggers positive adaptations on health. Extracurricular sport activities represent a strategy to increase hours of PA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of extracurricular PA on physical condition (PC), health-related quality of life (HRQoL), screen time, and academic level. Material and method: In collaboration with three educational centers of Soria, the participants of the study completed several validated questionnaires related to PA information and lifestyle. Different physical tests were conducted to assess pupils’ PC and the centers provided information related to academics. Result: A total of 199 students (51.3% females), mean age 9.9 (standard deviation [ED] 1.4) years, were included in the study. Average weekly of PA hours was 3.3 (DE 1.6), and 51.3% of the pupils performed extracurricular sport activities. The results of the study showed statistically differences (P &lt;0.05) on body mass index, screening time, and academic records between those pupils that performed extracurricular sport activities and those that did not perform any extracurricular activity. We observed a moderate negative correlation between weekly PA hours and screen time (r = -0.46, P &lt;0.001) and a moderate strong positive correlation for academic records (r=0.56, P &lt;0.001). The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that boys had a higher likelihood (odds ratio [OR] 3.59, confidence interval [CI] 95% 1.17-11.05) of practicing extracurricular sport activities compared to girls. Moreover, practicing extracurricular sport activities was significantly associated with lower screen time (OR 0.68, CI 95% 0.57-1.81) and better performance on academics (OR 3.63, CI 95% 2.07-6.37). Conclusion: Our results reinforce the need to develop strategies for the promotion and management of environments that promote extracurricular sport activities.

Multi-Data Center Realization and Operation Efficiency Modeling Analysis of Intelligent Physical Education System

Distributed data centers shield the metadata differences of multi-source and heterogeneous remote sensing data, and provide a basis for multi-source and multi-center remote sensing data integration. Implementation in teaching and application in extracurricular sports activities, students' physical health, etc., in order to give full play to the auxiliary role of CAI in physical education, namely user management, online course management, question bank maintenance management, real-time examination management, scoring review management, System management, user health information collection, database design. When students log in to the teaching system to inquire about required materials, they can also communicate and discuss with teachers online, which promotes good communication between students and teachers. In the application process of the system, it can be found that the teaching of this system has relatively strong flexibility and is not constrained by location and time.
