Athlete Training Sensor Data Detection Research Based on Optimized Convolutional Neural Network

The traditional convolutional neural network has matured in image detection and recognition, but maintaining its high accuracy requires a large memory for computation, which increases the volume of sensors and puts additional strain on athletes. Therefore, the research uses local error calculation to replace global error, and uses layer-by-layer residual unit structure to replace gradient calculation, to apply it to athlete training sensor data detection. Through the simulation experiment and the example experiment of the data set, the optimal residual unit structure and the local error joint weight of the residual network human motion detection are obtained. At the same time, in the simulation experiment and example experiment analysis of the school physical education curriculum, the accuracy of the algorithm model proposed in the study is higher than the first five CNN network structures, and its training time is the shortest. The experiment demonstrated that the local error method combined with the residual network structure had improved precise performance in motion detection, and the computational load was low, making it appropriate for wearable sensors during training.

The Impact of Technology on Improving the Learning Process in Physical Education Lessons for Medically-Exempt Pupils

Background and Study Aim. The focus of our attention lies on the medically exempt students, who more often than not take part in physical education (P.E.) classes as spectators, without any tasks to complete in accord with the collective work of their classmates or the objective of the lesson. The purpose of the present research is to develop and implement the application Info-Scutit-Sport in the P.E. lesson to the purpose of teaching and assessing medically-exempt students, who are present, but do not take part in the lesson. Material and Methods. The present paper emphasises the usefulness of the Info-Scutit-Efort [Info-Exempt-Effort] application aimed at the active and mindful inclusion of 55 students (aged=11.29±1.84), who have a medical exemption (58.2% total and 42.8% partial) in the P.E. lesson. The appli-cation, in an improved form, comprises the entire content of the curriculum of physical edu-cation in secondary school, transformed into 2080 questions with three answer variants, with 1500 processed images, that may be accessed with the teacher’s accord, on the stu-dent’s own phone. The assessment obtained by means of the application after the working session may provide the student with a mark for the information taught before, if he accesses topics from the previous lessons, or a mark for the current assessment in order to test the ac-tive and mindful participation in the lesson which is being taught. Conclusions. The study utilized multiple statistical tests to establish a relationship between platform access time and student performance. The results of the tests demonstrated that platform use time has a significant impact on student performance, with longer platform access time leading to hi-gher marks. The study concluded that the proposed model is significant, as it identifies plat-form access time as a crucial factor in determining student performance. Moreover, the study found that even small increases in platform access time can lead to significant impro-vements in student performance, with an increase of one unit resulting in a 0.54% increase in marks.

Correlation effects of self-regulation on academic performance and self-efficacy in college physical education MOOC learning

At present, MOOCs have gradually become a part of daily teaching in colleges and universities, but domestic physical education curriculum research has not yet covered the content of the relationship between college students' learning self-regulation, self-efficacy, and physical education performance in the MOOC learning environment. Therefore, it is necessary to study the correlation between self-regulation and self-efficacy in the study of physical education MOOCs through a questionnaire survey and analysis of 52 college students majoring in physical education at a BSU university in Beijing. The study found that there is a significant correlation between self-regulation and academic performance, but the impact of self-efficacy on academic performance is not significant, and the relationship between self-regulation and self-efficacy needs to be further explored.

A review of the value role of civic politics in sports courses of private universities, the political trend and the construction path

Civic politics in physical education curriculum is a new requirement for physical exercise and skill acquisition in classroom teaching in the new era under the synergy of national security, social needs and education development. It will be beneficial to the implementation of the educational goal of "building moral character" in physical education and health curriculum. Based on the research methods of literature, expert interview and mathematical statistics, it is found that: 1) Private colleges and universities have greater room for improvement in the cognition and implementation of the policy of thinking politics in physical education curriculum, and they need to continue to study many regulations promulgated by the government on thinking politics in curriculum; 2) The research on the physical education curriculum in the field of physical education and pedagogy is emerging, and it has gradually formed a research trend characterized by physical education colleges, subject specialties and hot spots; 3) Strengthening the study and implementation of government documents, providing feedback to solve social problems and conflicting demands, developing and designing the teaching contents of physical education classrooms to fit with the elements of Civic Government, and using traditional and new teaching methods will greatly improve the implementation of PE and health courses in private colleges and universities. The essence of educating people is to "establish moral education". Therefore, within the scope of higher education including private colleges and universities, ideological and political education of physical education and health courses needs to clarify the government decision-making and institutional requirements, meet the needs of the masses and social development, solve the reform of ideological and political teaching in physical education classroom, and realize the education goal of "cultivating morality and educating people" in the field of physical education.

EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION SPORTS AND HEALTH CURRICULUM FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

This study used a sample of participants taken from a population of 31 participants. The sample is done not by random sampling but in a pandemic situation the sample is directly designated as needed. The sample required as many as 31 participants are participants who work in the Junior Secondary Education Unit. Based on the results of qualitative data in the form of conclusions and suggestions that have been obtained, it can be concluded that the curricular objectives of physical education and sports, student learning experience, curriculum structuring, curriculum practicality and the results of curriculum implementation in general do not meet the feasibility of curriculum evaluation of physical education subjects sports and health although with notes such as curriculum must keep up with the Times and in accordance with needs. In addition, the curriculum should be able to help the teacher to plan a lesson. A very constructive suggestion in the form of a curriculum is expected to be used and easy to use in the subjects of Physical Education Sports and health . There are further developments and improvements to refine the curriculum of physical education, sports and health subjects. Aspects of physical education and sports curricular objectives, student learning experience, curriculum structuring, curriculum practicality and the results of curriculum implementation in general do not meet the eligibility criteria for curriculum evaluation results of physical education and health subjects even with notes such as curriculum must keep up with the Times and in accordance with needs. In addition, the curriculum should be able to help the teacher to plan a lesson. The curriculum of the subjects of Physical Education Sports and health must be developed in detail referring to the objectives of National Education by giving priority to aspects that can be used and easy to use.

Optimization of the quality management path of physical education teaching in colleges and universities integrating modern network technology

Abstract Since the 21st century, with the rapid development of network information technology, network technology has begun to be widely used in education. Seizing the opportunity of developing new generation information network technology, establishing a broad coverage education informatization system, strengthening the construction and application of network teaching resource system, and accelerating the development and sharing of high-quality educational resources are the current development goals of education informatization. The open sharing platform of physical education curriculum resources based on MOOC network is an important way to “promote the construction, popularization, and sharing of high-quality physical education resources”. The open-sharing platform of teaching course resources based on MOOC network construction and application has increased access to course resources by 10%. It can promote the exchange and sharing of high-quality teaching resources among universities, realize inter-college cooperation and optimal integration of resources, enrich physical education course resources, and promote the overall improvement of the teaching environment. Furthermore, such improvement in physical education teaching mode improves students’ interest, promotes overall physical education development, guarantees the quality of course teaching, and finally enhances the overall teaching level of the school.

Optimization of college physical education curriculum based on G-DINA

Abstract Physical education curriculum in colleges and universities has been paid more and more attention and turned one of the important contents of education curriculum. In order to make up for the deficiency that traditional tests can only get a general score and further optimize the physical education curriculum, this study selected G-DINA model according to Wald statistic, analyzed the physical education curriculum textbooks, and clarified the cognitive attributes and hierarchical relations of the curriculum. Then, pursuant to the attributes and hierarchical relations obtained, this study constructed typical assessment model matrix and developed the curriculum cognitive diagnosis test paper based on Q matrix. Through comparing results of the two physical education curriculum diagnosis test papers based on G-DINA model, it can be seen that the ratio of students who master the attributes A4 and A5 is climbed up to 67.2% and 59%, respectively, which indicates that students’ overall mastery of A4 and A5 knowledge blocks has been significantly improved after teachers’ intensive and in-depth optimized teaching. Therefore, it can be concluded from the above that the optimized teaching of physical education courses in colleges and universities plays a significant role, and at the same time, for teachers, G-DINA model is conductive to fully controlling the teaching feedback effect, timely adjusting the teaching key and difficult points, and predicting the depth and breadth of teaching trend. Even further, the model is helpful for college physical education institutes to deepen the physical education curriculum optimization in colleges and universities.

Jumping Rope Improves the Physical Fitness of Preadolescents Aged 10-12 Years: A Meta-Analysis.

To systematically review the effects of jumping rope on physical fitness among 10 to 12-year-old preadolescents, and to provide evidence-based support for its use in school physical education curriculum work. The PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, ScienceDirect, and CNKI databases were searched for randomized controlled trials that assessed jumping rope and physical fitness among preadolescents aged 10-12 years. Meta-analyses were used to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) values and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and subgroup analyses were conducted on intervention duration, frequency and period. A total of 1048 subjects from 15 studies were included. Compared to regular physical education courses, jumping rope did not show a significant advantage in terms of body morphology. In terms of physical function, boys showed greater improvements in vital capacity, and girls showed greater improvements in resting HR. In terms of physical performance, boys showed greater improvements in speed, upper-body strength, lower-body strength, muscular endurance and agility, while girls showed greater improvements in coordination and balance. Boys experienced a minimal improvement in flexibility, while girls did not show a significant difference. Combining the results of the subgroup analyses, the optimal session time, frequency and intervention length of jumping rope for significantly improving the physical fitness of preadolescents were >40 min, 2 times/week and 8-12 weeks, respectively. In conclusion, jumping rope provides small to large benefits over regular physical education for both boys and girls aged 10-12 years in terms of physical function and physical performance indicators other than flexibility, while showing no significant advantage in terms of body morphology. Based on the available research, it is recommended that children aged 10-12 years participate in jump rope sessions for at least 40 minutes once or twice a week for 8-12 weeks to better develop physical fitness.

School-Based TGfU Volleyball Intervention Improves Physical Fitness and Body Composition in Primary School Students: A Cluster-Randomized Trial.

This study aimed to explore whether a 16-week Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) volleyball intervention could improve primary school students' physical fitness and body composition. Eighty-eight primary school students (age 13.3 ± 0.3 years) were randomized to a TGfU volleyball intervention group (VG) or a control group (CG). The CG attended three regular physical education (PE) classes per week, while the VG attended two regular PE classes and a TGfU volleyball intervention that was implemented in the third PE class. Body composition components (body weight, body mass index, skinfold thickness, body fat percentage, and muscle mass percentage) and physical fitness (flexibility, vertical jumps (squat and countermovement jump-SJ/CMJ), 30 m sprint, agility, and cardiorespiratory fitness) assessments were performed pre-and post-intervention period. Significant interaction effects between VG and CG and pre- and post-test were found for the sum of five skinfolds (p < 0.0005, ŋp2 = 0.168), body fat % (p < 0.0005, ŋp2 = 0.200), muscle mass % (p < 0.0005, ŋp2 = 0.247), SJ (p = 0.002, ŋp2 = 0.103), CMJ (p = 0.001, ŋp2 = 0.120), 30 m sprint (p = 0.019, ŋp2 = 0.062), agility T-test (p < 0.0005, ŋp2 = 0.238), and VO2max (p < 0.0005, ŋp2 = 0.253). Further examination revealed a greater improvement among VG students compared to CG students in certain body composition and physical fitness outcomes. Implementing a TGfU volleyball intervention in the physical education curriculum appears to have effective stimuli for reducing adiposity and promoting physical fitness levels in seventh-grade primary school students.

Development and Content Validation of the Swimming Competence Assessment Scale (SCAS): A Modified Delphi Study.

The purpose of this study was to design and develop the Swimming Competence Assessment Scale (SCAS) to measure children's aquatic skills as they align with the physical education curriculum for Norwegian primary schools. We conducted a three-round modified Delphi study involving 22 national experts in the aquatic profession. Experts reached consensus on scale items within an observation form and coding sheet based on a swimming proficiency test for measuring six aquatic skills: water entry, frontstroke swimming, surface dive, float/rest, backstroke swimming and water exit. Independent experts obtained high agreement (scale level: 88%, item level: 80-93%) on the relevance, representativeness, and clarity of the scale. Current results suggest that the SCAS is a valid instrument for researchers and practitioners to observe and record children's aquatic proficiency for the purpose of screening and developing aquatic education.

The influence of interdisciplinary literacy on learning effects among college students: the mediating effects of online physical education on learning behavior

IntroductionThe development of high-quality physical education curriculums is required in the information age. Interdisciplinary literacy and student learning behavior are two significant factors that affect the quality of teaching and learning. This study explores the relationship between interdisciplinary literacy (IDL) and learning effects (LE) among Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the mediating effects of online physical education learning behaviors (OPELB). This research aims to provide a reference for the development of high-quality online physical education.MethodsThe study involved 691 college students from 10 general universities in Shaanxi Province as research subjects. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis and Bootstrap testing were used to evaluate the mediating effects.ResultsThere was a significant positive relationship between the three variables of IDL, OPELB, and LE (p &amp;lt; 0.001). Multiple regression analysis found that IDL significantly and positively predicted LE and OPELB (p &amp;lt; 0.001), and OPELB predicted LE (p &amp;lt; 0.001). IDL among college students had a total effect of 0.816 on LE, with OPELB accounting for 22.67% of the mediated effect.DiscussionThis study demonstrates that OPELB has a partial mediating effect on IL and LE, and stable IDL and OPELB improve LE. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to improving students’ IDL while encouraging them to develop better OPELB to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes.

Effects of Different Teaching Approaches on Proxy Measures of Physical Fitness of Italian Kindergarten Children.

Developing physical fitness (PF) behaviors early in life enhances physical development and facilitates sustained participation in physical activity and sports across childhood. This study addressed the effect of different teaching approaches on precursors of PF in kindergarten children. A total of 178 children (5.45 ± 0.40 years, female = 92) from 11 classes were organized into three groups. Group 1 (structured activity + free play) and Group 2 (only free play) attended the same playground (PrimoSport0246) for one hour/week for 10 weeks. Group 3 (structured activity + free play in kindergarten) followed their standard physical education curriculum at school. PF tests (standing long jump, medicine ball throw, and 20 m running speed) were administered pre- and post-intervention. Factorial ANOVA was implemented using a percentage change in PF performance (PFC) as the dependent variable, and teaching approaches, gender, and age as factors. Group 1 demonstrated significant improvements in fitness performance compared with Groups 2 and 3. Moderate to large effect sizes (Cohen's d range: 0.68-1.40) were noted in both males and females. Six-year-old demonstrated the greatest improvement in composite PFC compared to Groups 2 and 3. A structured teaching plan, even with a limited dose of once per week, supported the development of PF attributes in kindergarteners.

THE REALITY OF PHYSICAL AND SPORTING ACTIVITIES IN ALGERIAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS A FIELD STUDY OF SOME PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN ALGERIA

Physical education and sports are one of the important educational programs in the pupil’s path at various levels of education, especially the early stages of education. This is due to the essence of the quota and the motor aspect in various sports activities of all kinds and its impact on the pupil’s psyche and their desire to compete and show their superiority and distinction in the success of the lesson. This study aims to try to reveal the reality of the practice of physical education and sports in primary schools, and the extent of the formation and preparation of human elements (teachers and professors) that frame sports practice, and to investigate whether there is a curriculum in physical education and sports that is followed during the teaching and practice of physical education. and sports This study, which was carried out by professors researchers, aims to highlight the importance of mathematical practice for primary school students, as well as to highlight the role of the specialist in this field so that the student receives a set of activities with aneducational purpose that contributes to a meaningful formation.

Kinesiology and Physical Education: A Curriculum (Dis)Alignment Perspective

This conceptual article focuses on the curriculum disalignment issue that seems to be a contributor to the marginalization of K–12 physical education. Through a brief historical review of events, especially the 1991 Critical Crossroads conference, the article explores and explains reasons that the future of K–12 physical education should rely on developing health-centered, concept-based curricula consistent with kinesiology science. In a major section, the article documents a 20-year effort and findings of curriculum intervention research in elementary, middle, and high schools to advocate and deliberate the need for a curriculum reform that should center on aligning physical education with kinesiology science. Implications of the kinesiology–physical education curriculum alignment to student learning are emphasized, and a paradigm change perspective to curriculum reform is discussed as a path to revitalize K–12 physical education.

초등체육 국가교육과정 도입에 관한 미 교사들의 인식

Grounded in the theoretical model of systemic school reform (SR), the purpose of this investigation was to examine teachers’ perceptions on a unified national curriculum for elementary physical education (PE) in the United States (US). In total, 15 elementary PE teachers (female=8, male=7) were purposefully selected to participate in formal interviews. The interview data inductively analyzed were reinterpreted and tested based on the SR model. The themes that emerged indicated a nationwide curriculum has the potential to help students enhance fundamental motor skills and basic movements by unifying primary components of education. However, it would not function well in the US in which constitutional power is shared among national, state, and local governments. The longstanding tradition of polyphonic federalism would prompt greater policy variability among elementary PE programs in attempts to minimize these differences. Curriculum reform for elementary PE must occur through careful revisions for the current model of standards-based learning, but not total standardization for curricula.

Declining nudes: Canadian teachers’ responses to including sexting in the sexual health and human development curriculum

ABSTRACT Addressing sexting in sexual health education classrooms is one way of supporting young people to become good sexual citizens and to emphasise respect and consent in their sexual practices and in their lives. While a fair amount of research has worked with youth to understand their motivations for sexting, less research has been conducted with in-service teachers to understand their perspectives, pedagogical approaches, and beliefs regarding young people and sexting. Set in this context, this paper discusses findings from interviews with Canadian teachers who were teaching a new Ontario Health and Physical Education curriculum that included discussions of sexting. Our findings suggest that many teachers are still engaging discourses of risk, shame and blame when they talk to their students about sexting. Likewise, longstanding gender norms and stereotypical sexual scripts are evident in the ways in which many teachers both understand and teach sexting. Some teachers, however, are engaging in more promising pedagogical practices that frame sexting as having a range of uses, outcomes, and purposes, painting a more holistic picture of young people’s sexting landscapes. Findings from this paper may be useful for educators and policymakers creating sexting curriculum for young people in educational settings.

Analysis of Temporal Distribution, Research Power and Hot Topics of Physical Education Curriculum Research in Chinese Colleges and Universities

With the help of Cite Space software and data statistical analysis tools, the research employed bibliometric method and co-word analysis method to analyze the research on physical education curriculum in Chinese colleges and universities, which was included in CNKI from January 1, 1984 to December 31, 2022, in order to grasp the characteristics of its temporal distribution, research power, and hot topics. The findings showed that the research on physical education curriculum in Chinese colleges and universities had gone through a slow formation period, an initial growth period, a rapid growth period, and is currently in a mature and stable period in terms of temporal distribution. However, in terms of research power, there were lack of high-impact research institutions and researchers in China. Furthermore, the hot topics mainly focus on the reform of the physical education curriculum, teaching reform, ideological and political education, and resources in the physical education curriculum of the colleges and universities. Therefore, the research suggests that the further research is required to expand the ideas, methods, breadth, and depth, in order to promote the comprehensive and in-depth reformation and development of physical education curriculum practice in Chinese colleges and universities.
