Implementing Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences (PEACE) Model into an Undergraduate Therapeutic Recreation Course

Studying aging is vital for therapeutic recreation students due to several compelling factors, like an increasing ag-ing population, prevalence of ageism in society, and ris-ing numbers of recreational therapists providing services to older adults. In addition to educating students about the aging process, faculty members have the opportunity to develop innovative approaches within the therapeu-tic recreation curriculum to highlight how older adults contribute positively to society. Additionally, recreational therapists involved in developing intergenerational pro-grams have a unique opportunity to facilitate positive connections between younger and older adults. This manuscript aimed to present how the Positive Education about Aging and Contact Experiences (PEACE) model was infused into an undergraduate therapeutic recre-ation course about aging and used to help design and im-plement two intergenerational service-learning projects.

Environmental Behavior Framework Revisited: Where Do We Stand Ten Years Later and Where Do We Go from Here?

Increasing environmental challenges are prompting sport managers to act to minimize negative ecological impacts. Educational opportunities for sport management students are critical for developing awareness and understanding of environmental sustainability across the sport industry. In 2012, Casper and Pfahl examined the personal environmental actions of sport administration and recreation students. The purpose of our current research is to expand on Casper and Pfahl’s work by assessing the predictive relationships of values, beliefs, and norms on behaviors related to environmental sustainability using the Value–Belief–Norm (VBN) framework. Sport management students (N = 510) representing 23 higher education institutions completed the online survey. Structural equation modeling showed minimal changes over ten years. Norms were the strongest predictors of pro-environmental behaviors, and results indicated that students hold sport management organizations to a higher environmental standard than traditional businesses. The authors provide discussion and recommendations on bridging the gap between academia and industry to better prepare students for their professional futures in the sport industry.

Selenomethionine Supplementation Contributes to Reducing Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Markers following Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage

Background. Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is a temporary response to intense or prolonged exercise that can cause muscle pain, inflammation, and impaired muscle function. Antioxidant supplementation is a proposed strategy to reduce EIMD symptoms by targeting reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) involved in the process. Objective. The study aimed to investigate the effect of Selenomethionine supplementation on malondialdehyde (MDA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels resulting from Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage (EIMD). Materials and methods. This study used a randomized pretest-posttest control group design, involving a total of 32 male recreational students from the State University of Surabaya (Indonesian: Universitas Negeri Surabaya), (age 19.25 ± 0.76 years, body mass 63.16 ± 3.38 kg, height 167.28 ± 4.54 cm, body fat 19.60% ± 4.57%). The participants were randomly assigned to the selenomethionine group (SEM, 100 µg/day) or placebo group (PLA, corn starch 100 mg/day) for a period of 28 days (4 weeks). On days 1 (baseline) and 29, participants underwent a single bout of EIMD. Blood samples were collected 24 hours post-EIMD to measure MDA and CRP concentrations in plasma. The statistical analysis was conducted using paired sample t-test. Results. The placebo group experienced a significant increase in plasma MDA and CRP concentrations after EIMD compared with baseline values (p < 0.05). However, the SeMet group showed lower plasma MDA and CRP levels than the placebo group. Conclusions. Daily Selenomethionine supplementation for 28 days has been found to reduce oxidative stress by lowering MDA levels in the blood and to decrease inflammation by reducing CRP levels post-exercise-induced muscle damage. This indicates a lower risk of EIMD due to reduced oxidative stress and inflammation.

Analisis Gerak Biomekanika (Kinovea Software) Untukmengembangkan Kemampuan Akurasi Shooting Sepakbola Pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Ke Olahragawaan Universitas Negeri Makassar

Research assesses movement, shooting accuracy and knee angle in football. Using a biomechanics approach with Kinovea’s software, the study aims to evaluate the process of recording such movements, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of the method. The sample consisted of 30 fourth semester students in the Physical Education, Sports, and Recreation Study Program at (UNM). This study used a survey method with an observational approach to analyze the relationship between knee angle and ball speed in the context of football shooting techniques. Visual recording of shooting motion techniques is done with a camera and analyzed using Kinovea’s software. The research sample consisted of 30 Physical Education, Health, and Recreation (PJKR) students who had the best shooting accuracy and were male at Makassar State University. Data on ball velocity and knee angle were analyzed using the SPSS program version 25. The results showed a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.591, with a significance (2-tailed) of 0.001, indicating a positive and significant relationship between knee angle and ball speed. However, it should be noted that correlation does not imply causality. The first model has a coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.349, indicating that about 34.9% of the variability in ball velocity can be explained by knee angle. An Adjusted R Square value of 0.326, indicating that the addition of predictor or sample variables will not provide a significant improvement in explaining ball velocity variability. Although there is a strong and significant relationship between knee angle and ball speed, other factors such as player technique and environmental factors can also influence this relationship. Therefore, more research is needed to understand the additional factors that influence this relationship as well as to establish a causal relationship between the two variables.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OBESITY RISK KNOWLEDGE AND BODY MASS INDEX AMONG SPORTS SCIENCE AND RECREATION STUDENTS BASED ON GENDER

Knowledge is a powerful indicator for prevention of obesity where knowledge related to the risk of obesity may influence the rate of obesity, especially among students. Maybe students with high knowledge on the risk of obesity have a normal body fatness and vice versa. However, the association between knowledge and obesity rate among students is inconclusive. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between knowledge on risk of obesity and body mass index (BMI) among Sports Science and Recreation (FSR) students based on gender. The correlational study involved n =257 were male and n=179 were female students from FSR. The Obesity Risk Knowledge-10 Scale (ORK-10) Questionnaire was used to measure the level of knowledge on risk of obesity and BMI was used as an indicator for obesity rate. Results showed male students mean score for knowledge was 4.78 ± 1.58 and 4.71 ± 1.68 for female students. Mean BMI for each gender was 23.64 ± 4.90 for male and 21.89 ± 3.4 for female students. There were negative and weak correlation between knowledge and obesity rate for male students r=-0.174, p <.005 and positive and very weak correlation among female students r=0.076, p >.005. These results showed both male and female students ware having poor knowledge on risk of obesity, but they have a normal body fatness. Hence, knowledge on risk of obesity doesn’t influence the obesity rate among FSR students. Probably, FSR students actively engage in physical activity since it is part of academic program that demanding students to be physically active that indirectly maintain their BMI score. Conceivably, knowledge together with practice possibly will help for upkeep of normal body fatness.
