The Effects of Physical Activity on Health-Related Quality of Life Among Working Mothers Living in Amman: A Correlational Study.

Jordan has a high prevalence of physical inactivity, a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases. Working mothers are a high-risk group who face significant barriers to physical activity and experience a decline in their quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the potential impact of physical activity adherence on health-related quality of life and physical fitness among a sample of working mothers. A Correlational, retrospective analytical design, was employed among a sample of working mothers (n=120), from Amman and was divided into two comparison groups. Data collection included a self-reported questionnaire using a demographic questionnaire, a health perception scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form, the International Fitness Scale, and the Quality of Life Brief questionnaire. The statistical analysis was independent t-test analysis, analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA), Pearson r correlation and regression used to estimate the prediction of dependent variables based on independent variables. The results found a significant positive relationship between physical activity and overall quality of life and its domains (physical, psychological, and environmental); however, there was no statistically significant difference in the social domain. Adherence to physical activity was a significant positive predictor of quality of life. Moreover, the health perception level was a significant positive predictor. A t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the physically active group and a sedentary group of working mothers regarding changes in Health-Related Quality of Life; physically active mothers are more likely to have better physical (p < 0.024), psychological (p < 0.001), and overall quality of life (p < 0.011). Furthermore, Physical fitness significantly predicted physical activity in the study results. This study confirms the existence of positive correlations between physical activity and working women's quality of life and physical fitness. Mothers with higher levels of physical activity are more likely to have better physical, psychological, and environmental domains of quality of life and better physical fitness.

Measuring college belongingness: Structure and measurement of the Sense of Social Fit Scale.

Sense of belonging is theorized to be a fundamental human need and has been shown to have important implications in many domains of life, including academic achievement. The Sense of Social Fit scale (SSF; Walton & Cohen, 2007) is widely used to assess college belongingness, particularly to study differences in academic experiences along lines of gender and race. Despite its wide use, the instrument's latent factor structure and measurement invariance properties have not been reported in the published literature to date. Consequently, researchers regularly use subsets of the SSF's items without psychometric justification. Here, we explore and validate the SSF's factor structure and other psychometric properties, and we provide recommendations about how to score the measure. A one-factor model in Study 1 showed poor fit, and exploratory factor analyses extracted a four-factor solution. Study 2's confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated superior fit of a bifactor model with four specific factors (from Study 1) and one general factor. Ancillary analyses supported a total scale scoring method for the SSF and did not support computing raw subscale scores. We also tested the bifactor model's measurement invariance across gender and race, compared latent mean scores between groups, and established the model's criterion and concurrent validity. We discuss implications and suggestions for future research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

The effect of person job fit and job crafting on contract employee’s turnover intention

The present study examined the effect of person-job fit and job crafting on contract employees’ turnover intention. The participants were 135 contract employees of state-owned (BUMN) and private enterprises (BUMS) in Palangkaraya Raya city. They recruited using the quota sampling technique. Three scales were deployed, namely the person-job fit scale, job crafting scales, and turnover intention scales. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The result indicating that person-job fit and job crafting affect the employee’s turnover intention. In other words, contract employees with adequate job fit levels and good crafting exhibited low turnover intention. The turnover intention was affected by person-job fit and job crafting. When an employee has the qualifications corresponding to his job position and gets the opportunity to develop his potential the chances of turnover intention are small.

Scale Development for COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy by Integration of Socio-Demographic and Psychological Factors.

Vaccination is the most cost-effective way to maintain population health. However, it can only be effective if widespread acceptance is held. The efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines depends on their favor. When countries start to vaccinate their citizens, there is a certain level of skepticism about the effectiveness of the vaccines. The hesitancy study on vaccines has gained momentum following the pandemic. However, few studies have examined the link between the psychological and sociodemographic factors influencing the fit. This paper proposes integrating the concepts of the information systems success and stimulus-organism-response into a cognitive fit theory framework to explore the integration of psychological and sociodemographic factors in the receivers' reactions (n = 1510). This study analyses the factors that influence the hesitancy of vaccines and the public's refusal in Asia and Europe. Receivers' reactions were assessed to various stimuli and we explored the link between psychological and sociodemographic elements and the concept of fit. Two surveys were conducted following the scale development of Mackenzie. The first was to develop the fit scale, while the second was to validate the fit scale. The results of the second survey were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that the scale's fit development is valid and reliable. The quality of the vaccine information, the psychological characteristics of the vaccine system, and vaccine receivers' satisfaction are also beneficial factors for emotional and cognitive fit. Maintaining the vaccines' quality and efficiency can help improve the fit between sociodemographic and psychological characteristics. It can also enhance receivers' satisfaction and encourage continued vaccine administration. This study is regarded as one of the first to examine and develop an emotional and cognitive fit scale for practitioners and researchers.

To improve the performance of genetic algorithms by using a novel selection operator

The Genetic Algorithm (GA) was developed as a search engine for difficult non-deterministic polynomial optimization problems. However, it suffers from internal weaknesses, such as premature convergence and low computation efficiency. One critical aspect of the GA is the selection process, which determines new paths and ultimately guides the algorithm towards a solution. This paper details a novel selection procedure that is a perfect blend of the two extremes, namely exploitation and exploration. The proposed technique eliminates the fitness scaling problem by changing the selection pressure continuously during the selection stage. Utilizing traveling salesman problem library (TSPLIB) instances, a performance comparison of the proposed method with a few traditional selection methods was conducted, and the proposed strategy yielded much better outcomes in the form of standard deviations and mean values. A two-sided t-test was also developed, and the results revealed that the proposed strategy enhanced the performance of a GA substantially.

Scaling behavior for the detachment of a self-propelling filament from an attractive surface.

Desorption of a self-propelling filament from an attractive surface is studied by computer simulations and the influence of activity, chain length, and chain rigidity is explored. For the flexible filament, we find three scaling regimes of desorption time vs activity with various scaling exponents. At low activity, the scaling law results from the spiral-like detachment kinetics. And at high activity, by theoretical analysis, the desorption is reminiscent of the escaping mechanism of a super-diffusive blob from a potential well at a short time scale. Additionally, the desorption time decreases first and then increases with chain length at low activity, since it is hard to form a spiral for short filaments due to the limited volume repulsion. For high activities, the desorption time approximately scales with chain length, with a scaling exponent ∼0.5, which can be explained by the theory and numerically fitting scaling law between the end-to-end distance of the "globule-like" filament and chain length. Furthermore, a non-monotonic behavior is observed between the desorption time and the chain stiffness. Desorption time slightly decreases first and then rapidly increases with stiffness due to the opposed effects of increasing rigidity on headiing-up time and leaving-away time. In contrast to traditional polymers, the scaling behavior suggests unique desorption characteristics of active polymers.

Impact of transformational leadership on the person-organization fit of Chinese nurses: The moderating effect ofemotional intelligence.

To explore the relationships between transformational leadership and person-organization fit, as well as to test the moderating effects of emotional intelligence. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to conduct an online questionnaire survey among 326 nurses in Chinese hospitals between March and June 2022. Transformational leadership, person-organization fit and emotional intelligence were measured using the Person-Organization Fit Scale, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire and Emotional Intelligence Scale. Hierarchical multiple linear regression models and simple slope analyses were used. Transformational leadership had a significant positive impact on person-organization fit. Furthermore, emotional intelligence had a conditional moderating effect on the relationship between transformational leadership and nurses' person-organization fit. Under a high level of emotional intelligence, transformational leadership had a stronger positive effect on person-organization fit, while under a low level of emotional intelligence, the relationship between the two was not significant. Transformational leadership has a positive predictive effect on person-organization fit, but this positive predictive effect is driven by conditional effect. The emotional intelligence of nurses plays a moderating role between them.

Is higher physical fitness associated with better psychological health in young pediatric cancer survivors? Across-sectional study from the iBoneFIT project.

To examine the associations of self-perceived and objectively-measured physical fitness with psychological well-being and distress indicators in young pediatric cancer survivors. A total of 116 participants (12.1 ± 3.3 years, 56.9% boys) from the iBoneFIT project participated in this cross-sectional study. Objectively-measured physical fitness (muscular fitness) was obtained by handgrip strength and standing long jump tests for the upper and lower body, respectively. Self-perceived physical fitness was obtained by the International Fitness Scale (IFIS). Positive and negative affect were assessed by the positive affect schedule for children (PANAS-C), happiness by Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), optimism by Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), self-esteem by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), anxiety by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC-R), and depression by Children Depression Inventory (CDI). Multiple linear regressions adjusted by key covariates were performed to analyze associations. No associations were found between objectively-measured muscular fitness and any of the psychological well-being and distress indicators (p > 0.05). Self-perceived overall fitness and flexibility were positively associated with positive affect (β ≥ 0.258, p < 0.05). Self-perceived cardiorespiratory fitness, speed/agility, and flexibility were negatively associated with depression (β ≥ -0.222, p < 0.05). Finally, self-perceived cardiorespiratory fitness was also negatively associated with anxiety and negative affect (β ≥ -0.264, p < 0.05). Perceived physical fitness, but not objectively physical fitness, seems to be inversely related to psychological distress variables and to less extent positively related to psychological well-being. The findings from this study highlight the importance of promoting self-perceived fitness in the pediatric oncology population.

ALGILANAN KİŞİ-ÇEVRE UYUM ÖLÇEĞİ’NİN (PPEFS-TR) TÜRKÇEYE UYARLANMASI

The aim of this research was to adopt Perceived Person-Environment Fit Scale (PPEFS; Chuang, Shen &amp; Judge, 2016) into Turkish. The PPEFS consists of four measures: Person-Job Fit Scale, Person-Organization Fit Scale, Person-Group Fit Scale and Person-Supervisor Fit Scale. The research was conducted with 643 employees from various sectors and professions, and consisted of two different studies. In Study 1 (n= 325) the CFI confirmed the hypothesized factor structure of the Turkish version of the PPEFS (PPEFS-TR). For convergent validity the relationships of the PPEFS-TR’ scales with another fit scale (Cable &amp; DeRue, 2002; PFS), and for divergent validity the relations between the PPEFS-TR and theoretically unrelated constructs (i.e., age and gender) were examined, and as expected, moderate to low level correlations were found. Moreover, the PPEFS-TR has incremental validity above and beyond the PFS on organizational outcomes (i.e., organizational citizenship behavior, job satisfaction and intention to leave). In Study 2 (n= 308), each scales of the PPEFS-TR predicted the theoretically related construct (i.e., work engagement, organizational identification, group fit, and leader-member exchange) significantly. Internal consistency reliability coefficients were found between .77 and .94 in both studies. Additionally, test-retest reliability coefficients were found between .90 and .94 (n= 55).

Work-Life Balance and Its Relation to Person-Job Fit among Staff Nurses

Context: Today, the nursing profession faces many challenges; in turn, nurses need to balance their professional work with their personal life, which promotes not only harmony between nurses' personal and work-life but also engender positive attitudes, including job satisfaction, and increases person-job fit (PJ fit).&#x0D; Aim: This study investigated the relationship between work-life balance and person-job fit among staff nurses.&#x0D; Methods: A descriptive correlational study design was used. The study was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynecological Hospital affiliated to Ain-Shams University Hospitals. The study subjects include 153 staff nurses. Data were collected by using two tools. The Work-Life Balance Questionnaire (WLBQ) and Person-Job Fit Scale (BJC) were used to collect data for this study.&#x0D; Results: The results demonstrate that 17% of staff nurses had a high total perception of work-life balance. While 55% had a moderate level, only 28% had a low perception of total work-life balance. At the same time, 20% of studied nurses had a high person-job fit level, and 62% had a moderate level of person-job fit. Meanwhile, only 18% had a low person-job fit.&#x0D; Conclusion: The study concluded that a low percentage of nurses had high work-life balance and person-job fit. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between total work-life balance and total person-job fit. The study recommended that hospital managers develop policies that enable them to improve the working environment to meet the work-life balance of staff nurses.

Inequalities in the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and physical fitness in the young population during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Objective: this study analyzed the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and proxy-reported physical fitness among Spanish and Brazilian youths during the COVID-19 lockdown according to several inequality indicators. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study with parents and guardians of children and adolescents from Spain and Brazil. The evaluation process was through the use of online questionnaires. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was assessed using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index in Children and Adolescents. Proxy-reported physical fitness was determined using the International Fitness Scale. Inequality indicators (gender, nationality, socioeconomic status, and parents/guardians' education level) were evaluated with a survey completed by the participants' parents/guardians. Binary logistic regression models estimated the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and proxy-reported physical fitness, with stratification according to inequality variables. A total sample of 1,099 Spanish and Brazilian individuals (47.6% girls, aged 3 to 17 years) were included in the analysis. Results: compared to the "improvement needed to Mediterranean diet" category, the "optimal Mediterranean diet" group was significantly associated with "very good" physical fitness in boys (OR = 1.5; 95 % CI: 1.0-2.1) and in participants with parents/legal guardians' education level without university studies (OR = 1.5; 95 % CI: 1.0-2.4). Conclusions: gender and parents/guardians' education level plays a significant role in the association between the "optimal Mediterranean Diet" and "very good" physical fitness level in Spanish and Brazilian children and adolescents. Future prospective studies are needed to investigate the role of inequality indicators in this relationship.

Is a telerehabilitation programme for older adults with hip fracture associated with burden of family caregivers who provide support?

@ctivehip is a home-based multidisciplinary telerehabilitation programme for older adults with hip fracture, conducted with the assistance of their family caregivers. This programme was useful in improving their functional recovery. Nevertheless, we were concerned about how the programme might have affected caregivers, whose assistance was essential for supporting older adults in using new technologies and ensuring their safety during the exercises and activities at home. The aim of the present study was to compare the burden, psychological factors and physical fitness of the family caregivers of older adults who opted the @ctivehip telerehabilitation programme versus those family caregivers of older adults who received the face-to-face rehabilitation provided by the Andalusian Public Healthcare System (in Spain). In this single-blinded, non-randomized clinical trial, participants were older adults with hip fracture and their family caregivers. The telerehabilitation group (n = 30) underwent a 12-week multidisciplinary telerehabilitation programme, and the comparative group (n = 32) received face-to-face rehabilitation. Caregivers outcomes measured were (i) the burden using the Zarit Burden Interview, (ii) the anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and (iii) the Physical Fitness with the International Fitness Scale (IFIS). There were not statistically significant differences on caregiver burden between family caregivers in the @ctivehip and the comparative group, although there was a trend towards lower values [[Mean (95%CI); 14.73 (9.09 to 20.37) vs 16.03 (10.63 to 21.43); p = 0.771] as well as for anxiety and depression [5.66 (3.21 to 8.78) vs 11.19 (8.52 to 13.86); p = 0.022]. Likewise achieved better, though not statistically significant, scores in physical fitness [19.37 (17.94 to 20.81) vs 17.15 (15.77 to 18.53); p = 0.055]. Caregiver burden is not associated with telerehabilitation. In addition, telerehabilitation is associated with lower anxiety and depression levels among family caregivers who opt for this programme. Physical fitness is not related with telerehabilitation.

Assessment of Cardio Respiratory Fitness of Trained and Non-Trained Young Adult Males

Background: Cardio respiratory fitness in terms of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) reflects the physical fitness of a person. VO2max determines the capacity of an individual to perform sustained exercise. The present study is to assess and compare the cardiorespiratory fitness in terms of VO2 max between trained and untrained subjects.&#x0D; Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 young adult males undergoing physical training for more than 3 months to join British army and age-sex matched 30 non-trained controls. VO2max was estimated indirectly by following the protocol of Queen’s College Step Test (QCT) method.&#x0D; Results: VO₂ max was found significantly higher in the trained males as compared to non-trained group (68.91± 4.42 vs. 50.31±4.80; p=0.02). On comparison of VO₂ max of our subjects with the standard VO₂ max classification, our trained and non-trained groups fitted into the category of high and average on cardiorespiratory fitness scale respectively.&#x0D; Conclusion: Physical training improves cardio respiratory fitness by increasing VO₂ max.

Physical Fitness Perception and Physical Education Enjoyment in 11- to 12-Year-Old Children.

Childhood motor competence plays a fundamental role in long-term adherence to physical activity. Enjoyment levels and self-perception of physical fitness increase motivation, commitment, and participation in physical activity. The objective of this study was to assess the body mass index (BMI), weight percentile, health status, physical fitness, and enjoyment levels of physical activity. A sample of 138 persons, of whom 67 were males and 71 females, with a mean BMI of 20.04 (2.35) answered the questionnaires Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale and the International Fitness Scale-self-report of physical fitness in young people. Tests were administered to measure functional fitness and anthropometric characteristics. Statistical analysis included calculation of Cronbach's alpha, ANOVA and Pearson's bivariate test correlations. The data indicate the reliability of the International Fitness Scale. No significant differences by gender were observed for the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale. The BMI showed that significant positive correlations with 20 m sprint scores (p &lt; 0.001, r = 0.367) and significant negative correlations with 6-minute lap scores (p &lt; 0.001, r = -0.360) could be caused by an older physiological age. The overall physical fitness level of the children was medium-high, with most of the children enjoying physical education classes and slightly higher enjoyment values for males 40.88 (5.42) than females 40.31 (6.16).

Psychometric Properties of a Short Measure for South African First-Year Students’ Perceptions of Fit with their Courses of Study

The first year of higher education is one of the most critical and challenging times in a student’s lifeand choosing a specific course of study can be very difficult. Often, first-year students realize theyhave different expectations from the courses of study they chose and perceive that their abilities,skills, interests, and ambitions for a future career do not match their chosen courses of study. Whenthe wrong choice has been made, and there is no intervention to choose a course with a moreappropriate fit, students may decide to leave university prematurely, which may have a major impacton a student’s life. Identifying students who do not experience alignment with their choice of studycourse, and offering these students assistance and guidance, is imperative for universities to retainas many students as possible. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of research on a short scale thatmeasures student-course fit validly and reliably, and which can be fairly applied to different groupsin an unbiased manner. This study analyses the psychometric properties of a measure of students’perceptions of fit with their course of study, adapted from a widely used person-job fit scale. Statisticaltechniques used to determine the validity and reliability of this scale were structural validity,differential item functioning to determine item bias, measurement invariance, and reliability.A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used. A sample (N = 1,211) of South African first-yearuniversity students studying at a university with three different campuses was used. As expected,confirmatory factor analysis provided evidence of a one-factor structure. No item bias was presentfor language and gender groups. Although item bias was present for item 2 between campuses,the post hoc analysis indicated that the impact was practically negligible. Measurement invariancewas established, as well as good reliability of the scale. The findings of this study can contribute toknowledge concerning the valid, reliable and fair measurement of first-year students’ perceived fitwith their courses of study. In addition, insights could assist universities in identifying students whoneed proper career guidance to better match with their chosen courses of study.

Barriers to Seeking Counseling Among STEM Students: The Revised Fit, Stigma, and Value Scale

Meeting the mental health needs of students enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors is particularly challenging for professional counselors who work in college settings, as STEM students are a subgroup of college students that face unique risks for developing mental health issues. The scarcity of literature on STEM student mental health coupled with their reticence to seek counseling is concerning. An important next step in this line of research is understanding why STEM students are reticent to seek counseling. Accordingly, the present investigators validated STEM students’ scores on the Revised Fit, Stigma, and Value (RFSV) Scale, a screening tool for measuring barriers to seeking counseling. Results also established the capacity of STEM students’ RFSV scores to predict peer-to-peer referrals to the counseling center and revealed demographic differences in barriers to counseling. Findings have implications for enhancing professional counselors’ efforts to support STEM students’ mental health.

Adapting the self-assessment of contextual fit scale for implementation of evidence-based practices in adolescent HIV settings

BackgroundContextual fit is an important variable in the implementation of evidence-based programs (EBPs). The objectives of the current study were to examine the psychometric properties of the adapted Self-Assessment of Contextual Fit (SACF) measure for HIV clinical care settings (calling it SACF-HIV) and explore how perceptions of contextual fit varied across two different interventions (an intervention to scale up tailored motivational interviewing and an individually focused HIV prevention intervention) and 12 clinical sites.MethodsWe collected SACF-HIV data as part of a larger cross-project implementation science study (ATN 153). The study sample includes 128 clinicians, community health workers, interventionists, adherence counselors, and other members of the prevention and care team who engage in the implementation of EBPs at 12 HIV prevention and clinical care sites in the USA. We assessed the internal consistency of the SACF-HIV using Cronbach’s alpha and examined the sub-dimensionality of the scale with an exploratory factor analysis. To explore concurrent validity, we examined Pearson’s correlation coefficients between the adapted scale and fit-related sub-scale scores from the Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes Scale-50 (EBPAS-50). Variation in perceptions of fit by intervention was examined using descriptive statistics.ResultsInternal consistency of the adapted scale was strong (α=0.895). Factor analyses revealed two sub-scales—one capturing general insights regarding contextual fit, such as perceptions of skill, experience, and alignment with client needs (loadings ranging from .5 to .84), and a second centering perceptions regarding implementation support, such as resources and administrative support (loadings ranging from .89 to .97). Concurrent validity was supported by statistically significant correlations in the expected direction with EBPAS-50 fit-related sub-scales (r=.33–.35, p ≤ 0.05). SACF-HIV mean fit scores varied by intervention and the difference was statistically significant (2.78 vs. 2.53, p < 0.05).ConclusionsThere are relatively few tools assessing perceptions of contextual fit in HIV clinical settings. These results suggest the 12-item adapted SACF is a reliable, valid global assessment of perceptions of contextual fit and implementation support. The SACF-HIV can be used by practitioners and researchers interested in understanding an implementation context when planning to prepare and support EBP implementation.Trial registrationTMI ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03681912; YMPH ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03488914

The perceived usability of the learning management system during the COVID-19 pandemic: Integrating system usability scale, technology acceptance model, and task-technology fit.

The education system has shifted from traditional to online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the Learning Management System (LMS) is one of the most important and comprehensive learning platforms that support and facilitate online learning during this pandemic. This study explored the perceived system usability of LMS during the COVID-19 pandemic by utilizing Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Task-Technology Fit (TTF), and System Usability Scale (SUS). An online survey was utilized to collect data from 502 Filipino students from different academic institutions and different areas of study. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicated that students' perceived ease of use of LMS had a significant effect on perceived usefulness which subsequently and positively led to students' perceived satisfaction of LMS. In addition, LMS technology characteristics was found to have a significant effect on LMS task-technology fit which subsequently led to perceived usefulness and perceived satisfaction. Interestingly, perceived satisfaction was found to have a significant effect on students' perceived system usability of LMS which was calculated using a System Usability Scale (SUS). The findings have implications within the education system globally, particularly in recognizing the relevance of LMS moving forward. Furthermore, since this is the first study that integrated SUS, TAM, and TTF, the conceptual framework can be utilized to evaluate the perceived usability of LMS worldwide.

The effect of watching models of teaching physical activity on cognitive-motor components and physical competence among children

Introduction: The increase in immobility in all sections of society, especially children and adolescents, has become one of the most important concerns in the health status of this age group. Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of watching models of teaching physical activity on cognitive-motor components and physical competence among children. Method: The current research was a semi-experimental study with two experimental and control groups. The statistical population included all 8-10 year-old boy students of Khoi city in the academic year of 2021-2022. 30 males with aged 8-10 years were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. To data collection, we used the Canadian Physical Literacy Assessment Tool (CAPL), Physical Fitness Scale, Progressive Aerobic Fitness Test, Health-Related Physical Fitness Test and Basic Physical Education Training. Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance were used to compare the groups using SPSS-20. Results: The results of the covariance test showed that virtual education using watching video models and teaching the basic concepts of physical activity have a significant positive effect on the physical competence and cognitive-motor dimensions among children aged 8 to 10 years (P&lt;0.05). Also, the results showed that the group effect is significant (P=0.001, Eta square=0.70, F=56.65). Therefore, the amount of cognitive-motor dimension in the post-test has a significant difference. Conclusion: Based on the results, the virtual education using watching video models and teaching the basic concepts of physical activity increases cognitive-motor function, physical literacy and physical activity among children. Therefore, researchers, teachers and parents of children are recommended to use this method of education to improve the level of physical activity and cognitive-behavioral components of children.
