Physical Activity and Selected Psychological Constructs of Intercultural Students in the Field of Physical Education During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract The purpose of the study was to compare anxiety, depression, self-efficacy and mood between students at the Faculty of Physical Education in Poland and Algeria during the Third Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as to compare the intensity and quantity physical activity. It was also important to examine relationships between self-efficacy and other psychological variables, and self-efficacy and physical activity in the two groups. The following questionnaires were used to assess psychological constructs, self-efficacy and physical activity level: Mood State Profile (POMS), depression (Beck Depression Inventory), anxiety states (STAI), self-efficacy (GSES), a physical activity questionnaire. The research results show that there where statistically significant differences between Polish and Algerian students in anxiety and mood state. There were also statistically significant differences between the groups in the intensity and quantity physical activity. Based on the results of students’ self-efficacy in relation to states of mood, it turned out that anger and vigour are a significant predictor of a sense of self-efficacy of Algerian student, but among polish students only vigour is a significant predictor of a sense of self-efficacy. The comparative study showed statistically significant differences in each of the mood scales. In data on physical activity during the pandemic, all variables showed statistical significance, but physical activity did not turn out to be a significant predictor of psychological variables in the study. It can be assumed that undertaking increased physical activity is a kind of preventive measure in reducing mood disorders and relieving depressive episodes.

Evaluation of the Quality of Life of University Students in Prague after the Annual COVID-19 Restrictions

Background: The COVID 19 disease brings about a variety of restrictions that affect the quality of life. For Czech students across all tiers of the educational system, the 2020/2021 academic year was very challenging as they basically spent all of it in a distance learning mode. In addition, the restrictions put in place by the Czech government did not allow for the value of health to be upheld in all of its components.
 Objective: The objective of this study was to look into the views on the quality of life in a group of 381 Prague university students who had gone through distance learning. As part of the study, we divided the set along faculty and year-of-study lines.
 Methods: As a research tool, we used the Czech version of the World Health Organisation’s WHOQLBREF Quality of Life Questionnaire. Within the descriptive statistical analysis we worked with the basic quantities of central tendency and variability. For the purposes of inferential statistical analysis, we used Cronbach's alpha (to determine the set consistency), correlation to determine domain dependencies, and ANOVA to test statistical hypotheses.
 Results: The set was content with the overall quality of life, with Faculty of Physical Education and Sport students and second- and third-year students coming on top as the most satisfied once the set had been divided. The lowest values were reported in the physical health domain, which is inconsistent with the findings of other research conducted on this topic; on the contrary, the highest values were shown for the set in the environmental health domain; this is in line with foreign research. In our set, we found statistically significant variations in the metal health and social health and environmental domains once the set was divided along the faculty, and year-of-study lines, respectively. There are statistically significant differences between the individual sets.
 Conclusions: Based on a comparison with foreign research, we recommend a deeper investigation into this issue since the perception of the quality of life in secondary and tertiary students is a key factor in the development of society.

The effect of design thinking on the creative thinking of physical education and sports teachers

This study was conducted to examine the effect of design thinking on the creative thinking of physical education and sports teacher candidates. The research group of the study, which was created by using the pretest-posttest single-group experimental design, consisted of 14 women and 15 men, who were studying at Ankara University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Physical Education and Sports Teaching Program and taking the Community Service Practices lesson in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year and it consisted of 29 students in total. As a data collection tool, the “How Much You Have Created Scale” developed by Whetton and Cameron (2002) and adapted into Turkish by Aksoy (2004) and the "Demographic Information Form" prepared by the researchers were used. In this study, the Stanford design thinking model was applied to physical education and sports teacher candidates for 9 weeks in the community service practices lesson. According to the results of the analysis, it was observed that there was a significant change in the pre-test and post-test scores of the physical education and sports teacher candidates from the creative thinking scale after the application. The findings reveal that the design thinking approach is effective in developing the creative thinking of physical education and sports teacher candidates.

SOMATIC PARAMETERS AND PHYSICAL FITNESS LEVEL DETERMINATION BY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ATTITUDES OF SLOVAK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Introduction: Regular whole life recreational movement activity plays irreplaceable role for increasing individual health and prolonging active life. From the point of the view the childhood and adolescent age are the decisive periods for performing physical activities and its integration into life of each man. University students are specific and numerous social groups. Hey are in critical age from the point of performing recreational activities and thus their physical fitness level can often decrease. In this contribution authors deal with relationships of physical activity attitudes with somatic and physical fitness parameters of Slovak universities students. Material and methods: In this research are involved 606 students, 344 males and 262 females from two Bratislava Universities (8 faculties). Attitudes were estimated by Lickert scale in three components (cognitive, emotional and tendency to act), from somatic parameters were measured body height and body weight, physical fitness was evaluated with reduced Eurofit and former Czechoslovak battery tests: sit and reach, standing broad jump, medicine ball throw, shuttle run 10x5m, sit-ups and endurance shuttle run. We have available students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports (FSPORT) and from 8 different faculties (not physical education and sport study orientation). Differences and relationships were evaluated by t-test and correlative coefficients; we used •p<0.05, ••p<0.01 significance level. Results: We found that there are not great differences between somatic parameters FSPORT and others faculties, both male and female. In physical fitness factors reached clear majority FSPORT students. In attitudes reached significantly higher levels FSPORT students in all three components, mainly in component tendency to act. Gender differences in attitudes were not very different. Components of attitudes relate to physical fitness level mostly in groups of other faculties students, more often among females. Conclusions: We proved that lower like average values in component tendency to act in other faculties courses often lack of physical activity and it influences also lower level of physical fitness. We suppose that entrance in FSPORT studies also means that attitudes components must reach relatively higher levels.

Experimental verification of the effectiveness of implementing a differentiated approach in training future physical education teachers

The effective training of future specialists in physical culture and sports necessitates a comprehensive system of specialized knowledge, which forms a crucial part of a teacher's competence. This research aims to enhance the theoretical training level of students enrolled in the Faculty of Physical Education. The experiment involved 36 first-year students from TNPU. Initially, the collected data revealed an average score of 55% across all sections of theoretical training, indicating a low level of knowledge. However, after the experiment, significant improvements were observed in the areas of general development (4.22±0.12), drill exercises (4.11±0.10), injury prevention in gymnastics classes (4.17±0.12), and gymnastics in the system of physical education of Ukraine (4.03±0.15).

Differences in explosive strength values for students of the faculty of physical education and sports (male) according to body mass index levels

Background and Study Aim. Explosive strength/muscular strength is demanded at the level of different body segments and regions in most sports. The purpose of the research: is to identify the differences in the manifestation of explosive force between groups of underweight, normal weight and overweight university students; to determine the associations between the anthropometric parameters and the value of the results in the applied tests.
 Material and Methods. The investigated group consists of 147 students (men) of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, divided into 3 distinct groups for the analysis of the results: underweight (age=20.40±1.18, BMI=17.81±0.93), normal weight (age=20.504±1.671, BMI =22.24±1.67) and overweight (age=22.44±2.24, BMI=28.01±2.74). 7 tests were used to evaluate the explosive strength of the lower body (Vertical Jump Test, Standing Long Jump Test, 3-Hop Test, The multiple 5 bounds test, 30s Lateral double leg hop test, 30s Continuous vertical jumps, Speed Test 10m). A number of 6 tests were used to evaluate the explosive strength of the upper body (Overhand ball throw, Shot put, Overhead Medicine Ball Throw-forward, Overhead Medicine Ball Throw-backward, Medicine ball chest throw, 30s Plyometric Push-Ups).
 Results. Univariate test results indicate F values associated with significant thresholds at the lower body level (P<0.05) for tests based on horizontal jumps (Standing Long Jump, 3-Hop Test and The multiple 5 bounds test), where underweight and normal weight have the better average scores. At the level of the upper body, the situation is changed (for Shot put and medicine balls throws), where the overweight have the best average values, followed by the normal weight, and the worst results are found for the underweight group (P<0.05). Only for the Overhand ball throw and 30s Plyometric Push-Ups, the superiority of the overweight is not statistically confirmed (P>0.05). Correlation calculation (Pearson values) indicates positive associations between body height and vertical and horizontal jumps (except for those repeated for 30s), but negative associations of BMI and body mass with jump-based tests. However, BMI and body mass are moderately, positively and significantly correlated with throw-based tests (P<0.05).
 Conclusions. We can state that the classification of students in different BMI categories generates differences in explosive strength values between the 3 studied groups. The comparisons indicate the superiority of underweight and normal weights over overweight in all lower body explosive strength tests. The comparisons indicate also the significant superiority of overweight in the medicine ball and shot put tests over normal and underweight. The obtained results cannot be generalized, due to the small size of the underweight and overweight samples. Further investigations on larger groups of university students being necessary.

Внедрение цифровых технологий в практику физического воспитания студентов в вузе: результаты опроса преподавателей и студентов Марийского государственного университета

The organization of physical education at a university differs from the organization of teaching other disciplines; therefore, a special approach to the introduction of digital technologies into the practice of physical education at a university should be used. To develop and critically understand the further digitalization of the process of physical education of university students, it is important to obtain empirical data on what experience of using digital technologies in the practice of physical education at the university teachers and students have accumulated, and what problems they have encountered when used these technologies. The author carried out a comprehensive survey of teachers (n=20) and students (n=50) of the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism of Mari State University to study their experience and attitude towards the use of digital technologies in the physical education of university students. The survey results indicate a generally positive attitude of teachers and students towards the introduction of digital technologies into the process of physical education. Most students consider the introduction of digital technologies into the process of physical education useful and relevant. As the main difficulties associated with the process of physical education digitalization, the students specified the following: 1) the majority of them lack experience in using digital technologies specifically in the field of physical education; 2) difficulties of self-organization; 3) increasing the volume of intellectual workloads. The majority of lecturers surveyed do not have sufficient experience in using digital technologies in their professional activities; there is a lack of time to master completely the opportunities offered by digital technologies, which is associated with a heavy professional workload.

Variations of explosive strength for the students of the faculty of physical education and sports depending on the type of sports activities

Explosive strength has a decisive role in the rapid execution of movements and in achieving sports performance. The purpose of the study is to identify the differences in the level of explosive force for the upper and lower body, depending on the involvement in curricular physical activities, leisure physical activities or physical efforts in various sports disciplines. The participants are students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport/bachelor’s degree: 147 men (age = 20.82 years old). The study was based on a transversal research, with the division of students into 3 distinct investigation groups (as an independent variable), according to sports majors: IS (individual sports), TSG (team sports games) and NA (non-athletes). 7 lower body explosive force evaluation tests and 6 upper body explosive force evaluation tests were applied. The use of ANOVA/Analysis of variance and the comparison on pairs of sports specializations indicate statistically significant differences for most of the tests, between the TSG and NA, respectively IS and NA groups, with the superiority of the athletes. No significant differences are reported between the TSG and IS groups, with 2 exceptions: in the 30s-Plyometric Push-Ups the IS group has significantly better values, respectively in the 30s-lateral hop for the TSG group (p ≤ 0.05). The results of our study are in line with the average performance values provided by other research in the field (although they are weaker than those of elite athletes). The superiority of the individual values of volleyball players and sprinters/Track and field for the power of the lower body, respectively of combat sports practitioners and practitioners of sports games—which use the muscle groups of the trunk and arms in training—for the power of the upper body is confirmed, so the specificity of the effort also influences the explosive force values.
