Orthorexia Nervosa and exercise addiction in a sample of Tunisian athlete students

Introduction Orthorexia and exercise addiction can lead to serious health problems, such as malnutrition and exercise-related injuries.ObjectivesThe aims of our study were to assess the prevalence of exercise addiction and orthorexia nervosa in Tunisian students at the Institute of Physical Education in order to investigate the relationship between these different health dimensions.MethodsAn anonymous self-administered questionnaire was distributed to students in the Sfax and Gafsa sports sections during March 2023. The orthorexic tendency was assessed using the ORTO-15 questionnaire. An ORTO-15 score below 40 points indicates orthorexic tendencies. The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) was used to study exercise addictionResultsIn our study, 240 students were included. Mean scores on the ORTO-15 and EAI scales were 38.6 ± 8 and 16.6 ± 4.1 respectively. Participants at risk of exercise addiction had a statistically significant tendency towards orthorexia (p<0.001). Among the students, 82.5% had engaged in regular physical activity at a gym in the last two years. The reasons given by students for going to the gym were muscle strengthening (57.9%) and preparation for a sporting competition (37%).Among students taking part in sports activities at the gym, the mean ORTHO-15 score was significantly lower among those doing so to prepare for a sports competition (p=0.005). Participants who believed that they were addicted to sport had a statistically greater tendency towards orthorexia (p=0.012).ConclusionsOur study revealed an association between addictive exercise and orthorexic eating in Tunisian athlete students.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Exercise addiction: is it linked to eating disorders? A cross-sectional study in a sample of Tunisian athlete students

IntroductionEating disorders and sports addiction are becoming increasingly common among athletes.It’s important to be aware of these disorders in order to improve their overall prevention.ObjectivesThe aim of our study was to determine the links between exercise addiction (EA) and eating disorders in Tunisian students at the Institute of Physical Education and to examine the factors associated with these disorders.MethodsAn anonymous self-administered questionnaire was distributed to students in the Sfax and Gafsa sports sections during March 2023. The Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) was used to study exercise addiction. It is a scale whose purpose is to separate individuals into 3 groups: those at risk of exercise addiction (score ≥ 24), those non-addicts with symptoms (score 13 to 23) and those non-addicts without symptoms (score 0 to 12).Eating disorders were assessed using the SCOFF-F questionnaire ( Sick, Control, One stone, Fat, Food), with a score of 2 or more indicating possible eating disorders.ResultsWe collected 240 participants. The mean SCOFF-F and EAI scores were 1.7±1.3 and 16.6 ± 4.1 respectively. Among the participants, 52.9% of students were at risk of developing eating disorders and 2.5% of students were at risk of exercise addiction. In our study, 82.5% of students took part in regular physical activity in a gym. The main reasons for going to the gym were muscle strengthening (57.9%) and preparation for a sporting competition (37%).Among students exercising outside the institute, the mean SCOFF score was significantly higher for those doing so to prepare for a sports competition (p=0.001), for professional obligations (p=0.005) or for weight loss (p=0.001). Participants at risk of exercise addiction had a higher mean SCOFF score, but the difference was not significant (p=0.051).ConclusionsOur study shows that eating disorders were widespread among Tunisian athlete students, and were higher among students at risk of exercise addiction.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

The Application of Information Technology in Physical Education Teaching and Training

This research determined the application strategy of information technology in the learning of physical education, and sports and training of Hunan Institute of Physical Education. The study conducted a parallel analysis of the assessment collected from both sports-student-respondents and physical education teacher-respondents. This research which used a purposive sampling technique adopted the descriptive-comparative-correlational research design. It was conducted during the second semester of school year 2022-2023. The results garnered from both group of respondents were compared, analyzed, and interpreted. Based from the findings, majority of the students are below 18 years old, mostly females, and were from grade 10. majority of the teachers are 31 -40 years and 41-50 years old; are females; and have up to 16-20 years of teaching experience. On the application of information technology in the learning of physical education in terms of learning experience, the assessment showed that the students and teachers agreed, denoting a high level of the use of technology for improved learning experience when it comes to increased flexibility as in virtual learning, providing individual-oriented experience, use of gaming systems in gym classes to enhance learning experience, etc. The assessment scores of the teachers on the use of IT for learning physical education were significantly higher compared to those of the students. From the perspective of the students and teachers, technology was used for analyzing sports performance at a high level because coaches apply information technology for visual feedback and replays, high-definition cameras are used to monitor players in the pitch, data analytics are used to study and understand the team, information technology is applied in sports to provide measurable training routines, for Live-tracking performances, etc. The assessment scores of the teachers on the use of information technology for sports and training were significantly lower compared to those of the students. The negative correlation between the use of information technology for sports and training and the learning experience of the students suggests that a low-level usage of information technology for sports and training was connected to a poor learning experience of the students. Lastly, the researcher proposed a plan to promote the use of information technology in physical education learning and sports training

The data was collected through the analysis of research and studies published by teacher-researchers in sociology of sport at the higher institutes of sport and physical education of Tunisia in various international journals. The main results of this article show that the research carried out during this period is not directly linked to the changes that have arisen from the world of Tunisian physical education, but it aims to position it according to Western sporting social phenomena. In addition, the existence of certain studies which take into account the training process and the conceptions of learning physical education in contemporary Tunisian schools.

Development of Football Teaching Program for Xi’an Physical Education University Students

Background and Aim: Xi'an Institute of Physical Education may be faced with problems such as unreasonable teaching settings, outdated teaching methods, and imperfect evaluation systems when offering football courses. To improve these problems, schools should pay attention to the flexibility and individuation of the teaching, strengthen the training and introduction of teachers, explore innovative teaching methods, and establish a perfect teaching evaluation system to improve students' football skills and theoretical knowledge reserve. Materials and Methods: The participants of this research were 29 people through purposive sampling. 5 experts to conduct face-to-face interviews to combine programs for the football model framework. 5 IOC inspection specialists to check the validity of the questionnaire. 19 experts to Delphi consensus modify the program for football model framework. 9 experts for a focus group to determine the program for the football model. In this research, Excel software was used to calculate the data of the IOC inspection specialist result and the data of the focus group. The coefficient of variation (CV) and the median were used as the evaluation criteria for screening factors. Results: The analysis indicated the need for a comprehensive system for teaching soccer courses in higher education. The football teaching model contains 4 first-level elements (pedagogical analysis, teaching development, competition, and orientation), which are further divided into 15 second-level elements and 38 third-level elements. Each component addresses a specific outcome goal, emphasizing teaching and learning situations, teaching construction, competition, and cultivation orientation. The proposed outcome-oriented soccer teaching system provides a comprehensive soccer teaching teaching model that integrates sport-specific skills and life-oriented skills. Conclusion: The model is in line with China's national development goals and the educational principle of building moral character and is expected to bring about changes in soccer education at Xi'an Physical Education Academy and set a benchmark for other provinces.

The interplay of normative, descriptive, and prescriptive discourses in shaping student teacher development: an analysis of physical education inspection reports

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze physical education (PE) inspection discourse for insights into mentoring practices and teaching quality improvement. Examining reports provided perspective into normative, descriptive, and prescriptive evaluation aspects shaping student teacher development. Methods: The study involved 29 Tunisian inspectors of student teachers at the High Institute of Sport and Physical Education during the Fall 2022 academic term. In total, 117 pedagogical reports were obtained confidentially for discourse analysis. The analysis focuses on three types of discourse that may be present in the inspection reports: normative, descriptive, and prescriptive. The objective is to extract the most frequently used words and verbs by inspectors and to quantify the frequency of terms related to these three dimensions. Results: Analysis of verb and word frequencies within different discourse types revealed a significant association (χ² test, P= .0013, Cramer's V= .17, moderate effect size). Pedagogical inspectors predominantly employed normative language, with 78.1% of words and 62.7% of verbs falling into this category. This dominance suggests a focus on guiding, advising, and encouraging teachers through references to specific standards and practices. Notably, verbs like "guide" and "suggest" (14% and 12% frequency, respectively) were prevalent, highlighting a collaborative approach over direct imposition. Conclusions: This study challenges the singular focus on discourse modalities in inspector reports, revealing a multifaceted discourse ecosystem. While normative language sets standards and benchmarks, descriptive language captures classroom realities, and prescriptive language offers targeted guidance. This interplay fosters critical reflection, professional autonomy, and continuous improvement in student teachers. Inspectors, therefore, emerge as more than evaluators; they are facilitators.

INTERNET ADDICTION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPATIBILITY AMONG PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS AT OUARGLA UNIVERSITY

The aim of this study was to know the relationship between Internet addiction and psychosocial compatibility among students of physical education. The Internet Addiction Scale and psychosocial compatibility Scale were employed to assess the levels of variables and the relationship between them. The sample comprised 60 students of the Institute of Physical Education and Sport University of Ouargla, in Algeria. The results showed that there was an average level of Internet addiction (Mean=3.11; Standard deviation = 0.54) among physical education students and a high level of psychosocial compatibility Mean=2.65; Standard deviation = 0.18), and there was a negative correlation between Internet addiction and psychosocial compatibility. The inverse relationship between Internet addiction and psychosocial compatibility explains that excessive use of the Internet in a misplaced way exposes the individual to many psychological and social disorders.

An empirical study on the match-lead-in training mode in the general football course of physical education institute

Football has always been a traditional item in sports colleges and universities in China, and is loved by teachers and students, but the traditional teaching mode of football general course has failed to meet the requirements of contemporary high-quality teaching. The author introduces the “match lead-in training” mode into the general football course to carry out teaching experimental research. Through the comparative analysis of the statistics of technical data and the test of special skills in four-person and six-person matches, the author finds that this teaching mode is more conducive to the improvement of students’ football technology, skill level and competition ability than that of the traditional football general course.

Capoeira as a critical pedagogy tool in physical education: from a continuing professional development program to the classroom

ABSTRACT Background In this globalized world with a predominantly Eurocentric/androcentric approach to physical education (PE) teaching, there is a need to broaden school curricula from a critical, decolonizing approach. Capoeira is a manifestation of Afro-Brazilian popular culture combining dance, fight, and play that has historical links to slavery. Because it is removed from the hegemonic culture of sport and physical activity, it can be used to develop critical pedagogy through movement and corporeality. Teachers, however, must be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to implement this critical approach in their curricula. A team of researchers at the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia (INEFC) developed a continuing professional development (CPD) course to introduce PE teachers to the history and potential of capoeira as a socio-critical pedagogical tool. Purpose To explore the opportunities and challenges that capoeira brings as a pedagogical tool for addressing social issues as perceived by PE teachers who took a CPD course on capoeira (Capoeira-CPDC). Methodology This study was divided into two phases: an initial phase analyzing the TTC on capoeira as a pedagogical tool for PE taken by 12 PE teachers and a second phase analyzing the transfer of knowledge by a primary and a secondary school teacher from the same school who participated in the course. Data were collected via participative and non-participative observation with analysis of diary entries made by the lead researcher-teacher educator, the 12 teachers who participated in the Capoeira-CPDC in phase 1, and the two teachers who incorporated capoeira into their PE classes in phase 2; answers to the course feedback form; and transcripts from a semi-structured interview held with the two teachers who taught capoeira. Results The Capoeira-CPDC and subsequent incorporation of capoeira into primary and secondary school PE classes showed a wide array of benefits and limitations that this practice can offer in terms of addressing social justice, interculturality, and coeducation issues. The socio-critical pedagogical model employed in the Capoeira-CPDC, which focused on both the technical aspects of capoeira and the historical and cultural significance of the movements involved, fostered active-reflective thinking among the participating teachers. Certain challenges, however, were observed in the second phase of the study, in particular difficulties dealing directly with the subject of slavery in PE classes, a romantic-assimilation-based vision of physical activity and sport as an intercultural tool, and gender-role stereotyping by teachers. Conclusion This study highlights the potential of capoeira as a pedagogical tool for addressing social justice, interculturality, and coeducation issues from a socio-critical approach. It also highlights potential difficulties in the classroom and the importance of addressing social justice issues in PE teacher CPD courses and facilitating tools to work on cultural diversity and gender belief systems.

Portuguese research on physical education and sport didactics-a critical discussion.

This article presents a discussion of research in Physical Education and Sport Didactics in Portugal. It starts by situating it from an historical perspective, placing the 1980s as the beginning era, mainly based on the studies provided by the two first Physical Education higher education institutes of the country. The initial research, first based on master and doctoral dissertations, progressed to ongoing projects that have been disseminated in international and national journals and books. This development is also reported from the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological perspectives, showing how it has informed the quality of Physical Education and teacher education as the two main research strands to be described, however, acknowledging that a strand on sports coaching and coach education exists. On teaching Physical Education, the article discusses the elements relative to the teacher and to the student, focusing from the immediate and short-term to the distant and long-term events that lead into young adulthood's active lifestyles. In this analysis, research on curriculum and assessment are also reported. On physical education teacher education, the article shows the prevalence of the post-primary Physical Education to argue for the need for more research on primary-level education, and discusses the diverse foci from initial teacher education to in-service education practises. In line with current trends in research, we suggest a set of four features for the future research agenda: (1) addressing short to long-term outcomes of Physical Education; (2) adopting multifactorial and multi-layered perspectives of analysis; (3) embracing inter- and multidisciplinary designs; and (4) taking comparative perspectives within and between European countries, and between Europe and other continents. We conclude that these features need to focus on four levels of integration and cooperation: (a) integration between the research initiatives and the needs of the professional field; (b) integration between research on teaching and learning, teacher education and the curriculum; (c) cooperation between the different national higher education and professional institutions; and (d) integration in the international research agenda by leading and participating in project partnerships which are needed to fully and effectively implement such agenda.

Analysis of the factors influencing the metabolic risk of students’ body functions in physical education institutions and the construction of a diagnostic model

Abstract As a critical transition period from adolescence to youth, college students’ health behaviors, and physical forms are gradually maturing, and nowadays, college students’ obsession with smartphones largely causes great harm to their body function metabolism. This paper mainly evaluates and analyzes the physical function metabolic risk of college students in physical education institutions themselves by linear regression model and least squares method, studies the correlation between body fat percentage and physical fitness and functional metabolic risk of college students, analyzes the mediating effect of body fat percentage between physical fitness and physical function metabolic risk, and finally analyzes the body fat percentage, physical fitness and joint indexes of different genders. The results showed that the physical fitness index, including grip strength index and maximal oxygen uptake, could significantly diagnose the functional metabolic risk of college students. There may be professional and gender differences in grip strength index and maximal oxygen uptake to diagnose functional metabolic risk in college students. This study provides a reliable theoretical basis for coaches’ training programs.
