The Promotion of Women's Leisure Sports Behavior Based on Improved Decision Tree Algorithm

In women's daily leisure choices, sports is an important content that cannot be ignored. In this context, this paper studies the promotion of women's leisure sports behavior based on improved decision tree algorithm. Based on the simple analysis of the research progress of leisure sports and decision tree algorithm, a female leisure sports behavior model based on decision tree is constructed. Based on the decision tree algorithm, the calculation method of information gain rate is optimized to avoid logarithmic operation, and the continuous attributes are discretized. Simulation results show that in terms of classification accuracy, the improved decision tree algorithm is significantly higher than the classical decision tree algorithm, and can significantly shorten the running time, which has high application value in the realization of accurate classification analysis of female leisure sports behavior.

Experiences and Implications of Leisure Sports Management Policies in the United States

Digital leisure sports help to revitalise the culture of beautiful villages

Abstract In this paper, a platform for digital leisure sports services is built using digital information technology in the context of the new economy. Plain Bayesian classification is used to classify sports information based on its features, and the target value is assigned based on the feature vector. The RBF algorithm is introduced to transform the information into measurable data, and the target weights are updated using the energy function. The results indicate that the villagers exercised for 5 hours each day on the platform, and the BMI pass rate of villagers of different age groups exceeded 70%. The digital innovation of leisure sports has a greater effect on the psychology and physiology of villagers and is a strong fit for the prosperity and revitalization of rural culture.

Spina bifida and cardiorespiratory profile: the impact of leisure sport activities on physical fitness.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate a population of young patients affected by Spina Bifida (SB) to describe their cardiorespiratory function and bone mineral density profile, analyzing any differences between people performing and those who do not perform sports activity. The study also aimed to rule out possible congenital heart disease associated with spina bifida, considering the common origin of certain cardiac structures with those found to be altered in SB patients. Thirty-four young patients, aged between 12 and 22years, diagnosed with spinal dysraphism (SD), have been clinically described and, in order to evaluate their physical fitness, functional capacity and bone mass, almost all of them underwent a complete cardiorespiratory assessment, including electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET), body composition analysis using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), as well as the estimation of bone mineral density (BMD) with Computerized Bone Mineralometry (CBM). Collected data demonstrated that only 35% of the subjects practiced physical activity during the week. BMI and percentage FM values were pathological in at least 50% of the population. On cardiological investigations (ECG and echocardiogram), no significant alterations were found. In all patients who performed CPET (79.4%), pathological values of the main functional capacity parameters were revealed, especially peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak), even when corrected for BCM or FFM estimated at BIA and DEXA, respectively. In the CBM analysis, out of 27 patients in whom the femoral T-score was evaluated, a condition of osteopenia was revealed in 40.7% of the patients (11/27) and osteoporosis in 18.5% (5/27); out of 27 patients in whom the lumbar T-score was evaluated, 37% of the patients showed osteopenia (10/27) and 29.6% osteoporosis (8/27). When the comparison between exercising and non-exercising patients was performed, the only statistically significant difference that emerged was the median lumbar T-score value, which appeared lower in the group not performing physical activity (p = 0,009). The extensive cardiorespiratory evaluation, including CPET, of our cohort of spina bifida patients showed altered values of the main parameters related to cardiorespiratory fitness and is the only study in the literature that analysed bone mineralization values in physically active and sedentary spina bifida patients and demonstrated a statistically significant difference. Furthermore, it is the only study to date that investigated the possible association of congenital heart diseases with SD, without demonstrating the existence of pathological conditions.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the amenity perceptions and tourism activities of beach space users and draw implications for tourism activities in beach spaces.
 Methods Sample data were collected through a questionnaire based on amenity perception factors and tourism activity types derived through theoretical review. Empirical analysis was conducted through cluster analysis and importance-performance analysis on the sample data.
 Results It was confirmed that beach space users can be subdivided into high-awareness, low-awareness, moderate-awareness, and partially-awareness groups according to differences in amenity perception. In addition, through the importance-performance analysis, it was confirmed that the natural landscape viewing type and shopping/restaurant type are activity types with both high performance and high importance, the leisure sports type and humanistic landscape viewing type are activity types with both low performance and low importance, and the experience type is an activity type with high performance but low importance. Finally, through the importance-performance analysis by cluster, it was found that the importance and performance of tourist activity types of beach space users differed according to the level of amenity perception, and there were significant differences by cluster, especially for leisure sports and experience types.
 Conclusion While existing policy and technical considerations are important for understanding beach tourism, it is necessary to understand tourists' amenity perceptions alongside these considerations. Therefore, it is necessary to actively utilize these amenity perceptions in beach tourism development.

This study was to analyze the behavioral intentions of Chinese students studying in South Korea to participate in leisure sports. To this end, hypotheses were tested by using the Extended Theory of Reasoning Behavior(TRA) of motivation for recreational sports participation. The researchers surveyed 275 Chinese international students in Korea. This study was used to the structural equation modeling(SEM) of AMOS and SPSS as the research method. As a result, motivation to participate in recreational sports influences attitudes, and attitudes and subjective norms influence behavioral intentions. In this respect, the rational behavior theory newly proposed by this research model is expected to serve as the baseline data for future research on the behavior analysis of international students studying in the South Korea.

Development of a Questionnaire Focused on Sports Coaches Learning

Coaching is one of the most demanding social, helping and pedagogical professions. Therefore, research attention is rightly paid mainly to formal coach education aiming at adequate preparation for the practice of this profession. In recent years, however, many empirical studies have demonstrated that non-formal coach education is playing an increasingly important role in coach development in addition to formal coach education. At the same time, research findings show that it is not only the completed “official” coach education that is crucial for the professional development of each coach, but above all, it is the complex results of their lifelong learning.
 Therefore, it is essential for various sports institutions, for sports educational facilities, especially for coach educators, to have information about the course, features, and potential problems related to lifelong learning of specific sports coaches. Therefore, our paper aims to create a research tool – a questionnaire that identifies the essential circumstances of lifelong coach learning.
 The design of the questionnaire builds on our previous research on formal, non-formal and informal coach education and, in particular, on the results of many analogous international empirical studies on coach learning. These starting points show that the following areas play an essential role in the lifelong learning process of coaches: (1) personal sports and coaching experience, (2) reflection (self-reflection) of this experience, (3) professional sharing of coach experience, (4) mentoring and (5) accessible and understandable coach learning information resources.
 We prepared a working version of the questionnaire based on the above principles. This research tool aims to identify sports coaches' learning and education processes. We designed the questionnaire containing 66 items (closed, open, semi-closed, and scales) to suit various respondents – coaches (multiple types of sports, competitive and recreational sports, different age groups, beginners and experienced coaches, etc.).
 The first stage of verifying the draft version of the questionnaire consisted of an expert assessment. A total of 6 active coaches (three male coaches and three female coaches from the environment of top, competitive and hobby sports), who were acquainted with the theoretical basis of the questionnaire, recommended minor corrections to the questionnaire. The second stage of the questionnaire verification took place in interviews with six coaches (again working in competitive and leisure sports) who were not acquainted with the theoretical basis of the questionnaire. This stage focused on the clarity and unambiguity of individual items. The revised questionnaire was subsequently converted into an electronic form. The functionality of the final electronic version of the questionnaire was verified within a pilot study (n = 18).
