Prospects for the implementation of the variable module "floorball" in the physical education curriculum for 14-16-year-old boys

The article deals with issues related to the development of floorball in general secondary education institutions. The presence of so-called variable modules within the current curriculum allows to vary to some extent the content of the educational material on physical culture in the direction of including the means of those types of sports and motor activity, which, on the one hand, are interesting and accessible to modern schoolchildren and, on the other hand, positively affect the level of their health and development. The purpose of the study is to determine the attitude of physical education teachers to the introduction of the "Floorball" module as a variable component of the physical education curriculum for 14-16-year-old boys. The research concept is based on the methodological, theoretical and scientific-methodical levels of the basic provisions of pedagogy and the theory and methodology of physical education. The research was carried out at Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University and general secondary education institutions of Zhytomyr region in 2023-2024 in which 42 students - future physical education teachers - and 137 physical education teachers participated. Research methods: analysis of literary sources, observations, interviews, questionnaires, methods of mathematical statistics. Floorball is a team game sport and represents hockey in a sports hall. Simple equipment for the player, relatively inexpensive sports equipment made of plastic materials which makes it light and reduces the risk of injury, simple rules of the game and the ability to train on any flat surface. Floorball as a means of physical education attracts the attention of students with its high emotionality, spectacle, variety of manifestations of physical qualities, many different game combinations, quick transition from actions in attack to defense and ensures the preparation of student youth for active life activities and a healthy way of life. It was established that only 19.1% of the students have the skills and abilities to play floorball during a physical education lesson, and 71.4%, 66.1% and 63.0% of teachers with different work experience, respectively. The biggest obstacle to the introduction of floorball in lessons and extracurriculars in general secondary education institutions is the lack of sports grounds, the necessary equipment and the appropriate professional training of physical education teachers.

What are the important factors influencing the physical activity level of junior high school students: a cross-sectional survey.

Engaging in regular physical activity has been consistently linked to improved physical health and academic performance. Despite its known benefits, there is a concerning trend of decreased physical activity among children globally. The study primarily aims to investigate the level of physical activity among junior high school students in Taiyuan and analyse the main affecting factors from a socio-ecological perspective. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 650 junior high school students from 7 schools in Taiyuan, and 648 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected. The data on students' physical activity levels were collected through the Children's Leisure Activities Study Survey Questionnaire, and the data on factors affecting students' physical activity were collected through the Student Perceived Factors Affecting Physical Activity Questionnaire. In this study, students from the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades participated in physical activities, averaging 214.500 min per week in moderate-intensity and 25.000 min in high-intensity activities, cumulatively averaging 280.000 min weekly. Notably, a significant disparity (p = 0.012) was observed in the combined duration of moderate and high-intensity activities, with male students engaging more time compared to their female counterparts (307.500 vs. 255.000 min). This variance extended across different grades, particularly evident in 8th graders who recorded the highest weekly high-intensity activity duration (31.000 min) and overall physical activity time (320.500 min), surpassing the 7th graders(p = 0.007 for high-intensity activities). Furthermore, an exploratory factor analysis of a 32-item questionnaire, designed to identify determinants of physical activity, revealed six principal components. These components were found to positively correlate with both moderate and high-intensity physical activities. Results emphasize that educational institutions and community programs should collaborate to offer engaging weekend physical activity programs. Schools should develop and implement tailored physical education curricula addressing gender and grade differences. Furthermore, schools and local governments should invest in high-quality sports equipment and facilities.

Reinforcing effects of ground tyre rubber on physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of polyethylene terephthalate

This study examines the use of waste and recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) along with micro-sized ground tire rubber (GTR) to produce a polymer matrix composite (PMC) material. The PMC materials are made in a Twin-screw extruder, with different ratios of rPET to GTR ranging from 90:10 to 50:50. In order to assess the performance of the newly created rPET-GTR matrix composite materials, the physical, mechanical properties are empirically observed. The thermal properties and crystallinity (Xc) of PMC materials are analysed using DSC. SEM and microscopic imaging are used to determine the characteristics of rPET-GTR composite materials, including elemental compositions like carbon, oxygen, and silicon. The functional group and chemical structure are confirmed through IR spectra analysis using FTIR techniques. The inclusion of micro-sized GTR has shown a significant effect on the physical (density = 1.306 - 1.208 g/cm3, water absorption = 1.76%–10.74%, and melt flow index = 8.12 - 12.79 gm/10 min), mechanical (tensile strength = 52.78 – 73.58 MPa, impact strength = 110.64 - 138.44 J/m, hardness = 56.14 - 76.37, and flexural modulus = 66.23 - 106.32 MPa), and thermal (melting temperature = 220.25°C–192.57°C, Xc = 20.30 to 30.58%) properties of rPET. These studies all work together to improve the performance of waste rPET and GTR materials by repurposing them. It helps to promote sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and expands the range of applications (automotive parts, building materials, sports equipment, electrical insulation and prosthetics) for rPET-based composites with potential uses in the polymer industries.

The stacking sequence optimisation of a filament wound composite bicycle frame using the data-driven evolutionary algorithm EvoDN2

ABSTRACT This work focusses on identifying the optimal stacking sequence for composite tubes in mountain bike frames using a data-driven model combined with evolutionary algorithms. The objective is to find a frame that is sufficiently stiff while meeting the requirements of weight, strength, and minimum tube wall thickness. The decision variables are the ply winding angles and the ply thicknesses of each tube. The study performs designs for two load cases – Starting and Uphill – and explores two types of winding: the gradual winding of individual layers (1ply) and the winding of layers between predefined inner and outer layers with variable thicknesses (TW). Additionally, the design process is applied to frames made of isotropic materials, such as steel, aluminium, and titanium, using the same methodology to allow for comparison of results. The article demonstrates the successful application of this methodology to common sports equipment, suggesting its potential for beneficial use in other common composite frame structures.

Achieving sustainable and highly efficient wood bonding through synergistic plant root-driven penetration mode with a hyperactive interface

Wood adhesives are widely used in furniture manufacturing, the construction industry, and the fabrication of the internal components of aircraft, cars, and sports equipment. Therefore, the development of wooden adhesives with high stability, strength, and efficiency is a vital research area. Although most studies have focused on improving the bonding properties of adhesives, achieving direct interface control from wood remains a challenge. This study was designed based on the plant root-driven adhesion method to create a hyperactive-interface self-driven regulated wood capable of spreading adhesive into the wood and inducing crosslinking to improve adhesive strength. A multi-poly silicate network structure with multiple reactive sites was formed through the self-polymerization of sodium silicate and crosslinking with dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU) to achieve densified wood and improve the reactivity of the wood surface and interior. Consequently, the environmentally friendly polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) underwent a self-driven bonding process with the wood. These findings indicate that PVAc penetrated the interior of the wood, disrupting the combination of sodium silicate and DMDHEU and grafting onto the reactive sites. This process resulted in a tightly bonded interface connection. Consequently, the shear strength increased from 4.4 to 5.5 MPa, and the wood breaking rate increased from 21.00 % to 45.80 %, representing a 25 % and 118.10 % increase, respectively. Moreover, the tensile strength of the wood in longitudinal joints, transverse joints, miter joints, and mortise–tenon joints was assessed. The results revealed that the sodium silicate/DMDHEU-regulated wood (SS/DDRW) exhibited significantly higher adhesive strength than the original wood (OW). Hence, this bionic design represents a simple and efficient strategy for developing wood adhesives.

Discuss on Preparation Method of Composite Sports Equipment Based on Stretchable Nanofiber Fabric

Stretchable nanofiber fabrics refer to fabrics woven with elastic nanofibers, and nanofibers are defined as fibers with a diameter less than 100 nm. For example, nanofibers are implanted on the surface of the fabric to form a stable gas film. The biphobic interface can be used for the purification and filtration of sports equipment, chemical products, medical drugs and other products. The development of sports is increasingly dependent on science and technology, and stretchable nanofibers, as an emerging field of science and technology, are undoubtedly widely used in sports materials. This article first explains the role and background of stretchable nanofiber fabrics in sports equipment, and explains related methods, such as the slurry method for preparing rubber thermally conductive composites in sports equipment, and testing the thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity of composite materials. Diffusion coefficient, density and specific heat capacity; and then explain the polyrhodanine coating method, coating stretchable nano fabric, testing its mechanical properties and thermal conductivity, calculating the agglomeration phenomenon of particles in the rubber, you can get the wrapped PRh- The effect of BNNSs’ self-aggregation is suppressed; then the stress and strain of the nano-layer are tested using electrospinning technology, that is, the mechanical properties; finally, the tensile test of carbon fiber three-directional nano-fabric sports composite material is carried out, the tensile model is set, and the test is performed The strain and deformation in the stretching process at 0° and 90°, the load change and tensile elongation at break of the two are analyzed, the tensile attenuation rate in the 0° direction is lower than the attenuation rate in the 90° direction, 0° The tensile elongation at break in the direction of 90° is less than the tensile elongation at break in the direction of 90°, and one of the differences is judged that there is no carbon nanofiber on the parallel load in the 90° direction. The application of the above, taking bicycle tires and golf clubs as examples, combined with the average expected lift and 90° three-dimensional weaving method, the tensile strength direction can be obtained. This nanofiber three-dimensional weaving method has a higher tensile load than the composite material in the 90° direction. The average expected improvement of the ordinary weaving method is 36.1%, and the use of 90° three-dimensional nano fabric materials can improve the performance of sports equipment under this material by 16.9% to 51.8%.

Carbon nanomaterials, with their exceptional properties, exhibit promising potential in the textile industry. In this study, we prepare sports clothing containing graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) for college physical education (PE) teachers and investigate its performance such as moisture absorption, breathability, wear resistance, and antimicrobial properties. The results showed that the moisture absorption rate and air permeability of the sports clothing containing GNPs were significantly superior (31.3% and 203.5 mm/s respectively) compared to conventional sports clothing. Additionally, our findings demonstrated that the sports clothing containing GNPs has excellent wear-resistance and antimicrobial properties. In conclusion, these findings suggest that GNPs can enhance performance in sportswear, which not only provides university physical education instructors with high-quality and durable athletic gear but also offers novel insights into the sports equipment industry.

Quantifying the Impact of Carbon Reduction Interventions and Incentive Mechanisms in Campus Buildings: A Case Study from a Chinese University

With the development of sustainable cities, densely populated higher education institutions increasingly emphasize the sustainability of campuses and their impact on the environment. However, there is a lack of means to quantify emission reduction measures. This study aims to propose an evaluation framework that can quantify energy conservation and emission reduction measures and incentive policies. To this end, this study adopts a mixed methods approach, using questionnaires to assess the effectiveness of management and communication interventions and the impact of incentives on residents’ willingness to participate in emission reduction efforts. The survey results show that although the support for the intervention measures is slightly higher than the average, specific measures such as adjusting dormitory lights-out time and providing sports equipment show superior emission reduction potential. Universities could reduce carbon emissions by about 560 tons per year without incentives and just using interventions. However, when incentives and interventions are combined, the university’s annual emissions reductions are expected to increase to 800 to 1045 tons. Research also highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between occupant behavior, energy consumption, and building carbon emissions. By quantifying the impact of carbon reduction measures and incentives on the daily behaviors of residents, universities can more effectively implement sustainable campus strategies.

Temperature Dependent Dynamic Response of Open-Cell Polyurethane Foams

BackgroundPolyurethane foams have many uses ranging from comfort fitting seats and shoes to protective inserts in helmets and sports equipment. Current military helmet designs employ foam pads of varying densities and bulk material properties to help absorb energy from impacts ranging from quasi-static to ballistic level strain-rates.ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze the thermomechanical uniaxial compression behavior of a high density liner foam pad and a low density liner foam pad used in the Advanced Combat Helmet. These experiments were conducted under strain-rates of 102\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$10^2$$\\end{document} s-1\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$^{-1}$$\\end{document} and under temperature conditions ranging from -20 to 40 °C. This temperature range was chosen to simulate desert and arctic conditions, with a strain-rate regime chosen to represent loads that would occur often throughout the life of the helmet, such as drops, bumps from riding in a vehicle, or heavy collisions from falling.MethodMultiple experimental apparatuses were used in this study, including a Shimadzu TCE-N300 thermostatic chamber (used to create the varying temperature environments) and a custom-built drop-test system (used to induce intermediate strain-rates). Every experiment was paired with two accelerometers and a high speed camera used for Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to analyze sample deformation and resultant acceleration. The foam’s mechanical response and energy absorption properties were investigated from the measured stress-strain curves. Additionally, each foam composition was analyzed with X-ray computed micro-tomography (XCT) to investigate microstructure properties pre and post-mortem.ResultsResults show that temperature decreased the energy absorption of the low density composition by 48% ± 5% as temperature changed from -20 °C to 40 °C, while energy absorption increased by 53% ± 16% for the high density composition over the same temperature.ConclusionA comparison between the loading response and the material’s density characteristics revealed that the foam’s mechanical properties are heavily dependent on strain-rate applications, as well as environmental factors including temperature. Several important characteristics surrounding each foam composition’s deformation mechanics and damage tolerance as a result of temperature are discussed.

THE EFFICIENCY AND COEFFICIENT OF SPORTS BALLS RESTITUTION USING AN ACOUSTIC APPLICATION

Studying the efficiency of a sports ball and its coefficient of restitution is important for performance optimization, fairness, and consistency of play. This research paper is dedicated to studying the coefficient of restitution and bounce efficiency in sports ball. Ping Pong ball and tennis balls were used to show the relationship between the bounce height and drop height. This paper used standard laboratory equipment like meter ruler, retort stand, clamp and with the utilization of the acoustic program of the smartphone using PhyPhox. The result showed that the application was able to accurately measure the bounce height in relation to the drop height. This was showed in the straight-line graph plotted. There was a constant ball efficiency coefficient of restitution and have very small percent error from the standard. This experiment can boost the interest and confidence of students in the classroom. Being able to accurately measure the performance of different balls can help students understand the science and engineering principles behind how they work. This knowledge can benefit students by allowing them to make more informed decisions when purchasing sports equipment, as well as give them an opportunity to modify their playing methods and strategies.

Experimental and simulation study of the crashworthiness behavior of thickness-graded auxetic structures of ductile and brittle materials

This article examines the compressive behavior of re-entrant auxetic structures to optimize its energy absorption. The unique properties of auxetic structures have made them popular in various industries, especially for sports equipment. This study aims to create different types of structures using an FDM 3D printer. First, an appropriate raster angle for 3D printing of tensile test samples is examined for PLA and PLA+ materials. Next, three types of structures are constructed using brittle PLA and ductile PLA+ materials, and their energy absorption is compared. These structures are homogeneous auxetic re-entrant (HAR), unilateral graded thickness (UGT), and bilateral graded thickness (BGT). Changing from brittle (PLA) to soft material (PLA+) increases energy absorption in all structures. Likewise, grading the thickness of the structure, especially on BGT, increases energy absorption. Simulation results are validated by modeling the structures in two ways for brittle and ductile materials using Abaqus software. Finally, based on the simulation results, the most appropriate step of the bilateral graded thickness is recognized as 0.8-1-1.2.

Cushioning mechanism of the metatarsals during landing for the skateboarding ollie maneuver.

Skateboarding is an Olympic event with frequent jumping and landing, where the cushioning effect by the foot structure (from the arch, metatarsals, etc.) and damping performance by sports equipment (shoes, insoles, etc.) can greatly affect an athlete's sports performance and lower the risk of limb injury. Skateboarding is characterized by the formation of a "man-shoe-skateboard system," which makes its foot cushioning mechanism different from those of other sports maneuvers, such as basketball vertical jump and gymnastics broad jump. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the cushioning mechanism of the foot structure upon landing on a skateboard. To achieve this, a multibody finite element model of the right foot, shoe, and skateboard was created using Mimics, Geomagic, and ANSYS. Kinetic data from the ollie maneuver were used to determine the plantar pressure and Achilles tendon force at three characteristics (T1, T2, and T3). The stress and strain on the foot and metatarsals (MT1-5) were then simulated. The simulation results had an error of 6.98% compared to actual measurements. During landing, the force exerted on the internal soft tissues tends to increase. The stress and strain variations were highest on MT2, MT3, and MT4. Moreover, the torsion angle of MT1 was greater than those of the other metatarsals. Additionally, the displacements of MT2, MT3, and MT4 were higher than those of the other parts. This research shows that skateboarders need to absorb the ground reaction force through the movements of the MTs for ollie landing. The soft tissues, bones, and ligaments in the front foot may have high risks of injury. The developed model serves as a valuable tool for analyzing the foot mechanisms in skateboarding; furthermore, it is crucial to enhance cushioning for the front foot during the design of skateboard shoes to reduce potential injuries.

The Future of Graphene: Preparation from Biomass Waste and Sports Applications.

At present, the main raw material for producing graphene is graphite ore. However, researchers actively seek alternative resources due to their high cost and environmental problems. Biomass waste has attracted much attention due to its carbon-rich structure and renewability, emerging as a potential raw material for graphene production to be used in sports equipment. However, further progress is required on the quality of graphene produced from waste biomass. This paper, therefore, summarizes the properties, structures, and production processes of graphene and its derivatives, as well as the inherent advantages of biomass waste-derived graphene. Finally, this paper reviews graphene's importance and application prospects in sports since this wonder material has made sports equipment available with high-strength and lightweight quality. Moreover, its outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity is exploited to prepare wearable sensors to collect more accurate sports data, thus helping to improve athletes' training levels and competitive performance. Although the large-scale production of biomass waste-derived graphene has yet to be realized, it is expected that its application will expand to various other fields due to the associated low cost and environmental friendliness of the preparation technique.

Challenges and support needs in psychological and physical health among pilots: a qualitative study.

Physical and mental health problems among pilots affect their working state and impact flight safety. Although pilots' physical and mental health problems have become increasingly prominent, their health has not been taken seriously. This study aimed to clarify challenges and support needs related to psychological and physical health among pilots to inform development of a more scientific and comprehensive physical and mental health system for civil aviation pilots. This qualitative study recruited pilots from nine civil aviation companies. Focus group interviews via an online conference platform were conducted in August 2022. Colaizzi analysis was used to derive themes from the data and explore pilots' experiences, challenges, and support needs. The main sub-themes capturing pilots' psychological and physical health challenges were: (1) imbalance between family life and work; (2) pressure from assessment and physical examination eligibility requirements; (3) pressure from worries about being infected with COVID-19; (4) nutrition deficiency during working hours; (5) changes in eating habits because of the COVID-19 pandemic; (6) sleep deprivation; (7) occupational diseases; (8) lack of support from the company in coping with stress; (9) pilots' yearly examination standards; (10) support with sports equipment; (11) respecting planned rest time; and (12) isolation periods. The interviewed pilots experienced major psychological pressure from various sources, and their physical health condition was concerning. We offer several suggestions that could be addressed to improve pilots' physical and mental health. However, more research is needed to compare standard health measures for pilots around the world in order to improve their physical and mental health and contribute to overall aviation safety.
