Военизация физической культуры и спорта в 1920-е годы:способы организации, итоги

The military reform of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union in 1924–1925 was aimed at improving leadership and improving the quality of training of command personnel, creating a new system for recruiting the Armed Forces, and organizing a coherent system for military service by the country's citizens. Physical education organizations were tasked with militarizing physical culture and sports and solving the problem of military physical training of pre-conscription youth. Based on materials from the central and regional periodicals of the pre-war period, the article presents the methods and forms of militarization in the European North of the Soviet Union. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the work is the first to analyze the problems of the development of physical education and sports in the light of the policy of militarization in the northern regions of the country. The author proves that in the 1920s this direction was at the initial stage of its development, limited to agitation and propaganda among the population and holding demonstration sports competitions in certain sports.

Intergenerational Judo: Synthesising Evidence- and Eminence-Based Knowledge on Judo across Ages.

In alignment with European policies regarding intergenerational sports, this study seeks to integrate existing evidence- (i.e., umbrella review) and eminence- (i.e., international validated educational courses for coaches) based knowledge on judo training across the lifespan. For evidence knowledge, searches of the Google Scholar, ISI-WoS, PubMed, and Scopus databases (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024535420) for studies focused on training youth and older judo practitioners, with no time restriction up to April 2024, were conducted. This resulted in 16 systematic reviews meeting the inclusion criteria, with an "excellent" (n = 6), "good" (n = 7), and "fair" (n = 3) quality according to the NIH tool. With a large sample size (n = 372,655), the reviews focused on wellbeing (n = 9; bone status, injuries, and psychophysical effects) and performance (n = 7; athlete success, combat time, rapid weight loss, and the Special Judo Fitness Test), examining athletic levels (novices to Olympics), sex, and age (children to older adults). For eminence knowledge, the International Judo Federation Academy courses encompassed the "Undergraduate Certificate as Judo Instructor" (UCJI), which provides a comprehensive structure for teaching judo, including techniques, moral code, roles, responsibilities, refereeing, safety, and age-specific belt examination requirements and progression, and the "Educating Judo Coaches for Older Practitioners" (EdJCO) curricula, which provide theoretical and applied modules (e.g., ageing, health, and organisation) to train older judo practitioners. The findings were summarised in a framework, highlighting the most relevant aspects of intergenerational judo programmes (i.e., aims, key characteristics, coaches' roles, barriers, and facilitators). To develop a comprehensive educational intergenerational judo methodology, future research should examine coaches' and practitioners' opinions on intergenerational judo activities carried out in different national contexts.

From stigma to solutions: harnessing local wisdom to tackle harms associated with menstrual seclusion (chhaupadi) in Nepal

In Nepal, menstrual practices, and particularly chhaupadi, impose restrictive norms affecting women’s daily lives. Chhaupadi is a tradition that involves isolating women and girls during menstruation and after childbirth, along with following other restrictions, which have physical and mental health implications. To date, interventions have yet to fully and sustainably address harms associated with chhaupadi across the country. This two-phase study conducted in Dailekh, Nepal facilitated the development of community-created solutions to mitigate chhaupadi’s adverse impacts on women’s health. Using Human Centred Design and a community-engaged approach, the discovery phase identified key stakeholders and contextualised chhaupadi, while the subsequent design phase facilitated the development of five community-created interventions. These included leveraging female community health volunteers (FCHVs) for counselling and awareness, targeting mothers to drive behavioural change, engaging the wider community in behaviour change efforts, empowering fathers to catalyse change at home, and training youth for advocacy. The FCHV intervention concept was selected as the most promising intervention by the women co-design team, warranting broader exploration and testing. Additionally, while it is imperative for interventions to prioritise tackling deleterious aspects of chhaupadi, interventions must also acknowledge its deep-rooted cultural significance and history and recognise the positive aspects that some women may wish to preserve.

ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE LEVEL AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROFILE OF TRAINED YOUTH OF THE ARYA PROJECT ABOUT GOAT FARMING

Agriculture and related industries are the driving force behind our country's socioeconomic growth. What is particularly concerning in the current situation is that educated rural young, even agricultural graduates are not interested in pursuing a career in agriculture or its related sectors. Attracting and Retaining of Youth in Agriculture (ARYA) was launched in 2015, Krishi Vigyan Kendra will execute this initiative in 25 states throughout the country. The ARYA project aims to attract and empower rural youth to engage in various agriculture, allied, and service sector enterprises for long-term income and meaningful employment. For present study all 120 trained youth in goat farming were selected, trained youth were selected purposively who have obtained training on goat farming under ARYA project and 20 trainers were selected for suggestions for better run his program of the study area. Thus, a total of 140 respondents were included in the study. It was revealed that majority of trained youth (80.00%) had a medium level of knowledge, followed by 10.83 percent who had a low level of knowledge, and (09.67%) who had a high level of knowledge on appropriate goat rearing practices. The trained youth profiles viz., namely family size, social participation, livestock possession, training experience, mass media utilization behaviour, innovativeness, extension contact, scientific orientation had significant relationship with knowledge of trained youth at 1 % level of probability.

The Safe Sport Allies bystander training: developing a multi-layered program for youth sport participants and their coaches to prevent harassment and abuse in local sport clubs.

Harassment and abuse represent a pervasive and critical problem in sport with far-reaching consequences. Survivors' testimonials underscore the profound and enduring impact of these experiences at individual, interpersonal, organizational and community level. Many of their stories reveal painful inaction from responsible adults in the sport organization, aggravating the harm. Other contributing factors to the harm inflicted include a culture of silence, lack of knowledge and understanding of what constitutes abuse, unawareness of reporting and supporting mechanisms, and fear of potential consequences. While effective bystander interventions have been developed outside the sport context, particularly targeting students in higher education, such initiatives have yet to be extensively adapted and assessed within the sport context. To address this gap, the Safe Sport Allies Erasmus+ collaborative partnership relied on the intervention mapping approach as a guiding framework to systematically develop a bystander training program (i.e., Safe Sport Allies) to train youth sport participants and youth sport coaches to act as effective bystanders. The current paper describes the comprehensive development process and provides an overview of implementation and evaluation possibilities. Throughout the paper, it is explained how each step of the Intervention Mapping approach shaped the Safe Sport Allies bystander training program. The program development, and the developed plans for implementation and evaluation are presented, shedding light on challenges encountered. The bystander training program developed in this paper and the implementation and evaluation plans can serve as an outline to build future interventions within this critical domain of safeguarding in sport.

Relationship between socio-personal, economic, communication and psychological characteristics of tribal youth with their training needs in selected enterprises

The Ministry of Human Resource Development (1985) considers “youth group” in India as the person under the age group of 15 to 35 years. Tribal youth refer to the youth community belonging to the age group of 15-35 years and have commonality in terms of name, culture, dialect, territory and taboos. Identifying the training needs is the first step of any training programme for a specific target group. The training for tribal youth could serve as an effective tool for developing positive attitude with improved confidence and greater willingness towards agricultural enterprises. The study showed that sociopersonal, economic, communication characteristics like age, family size, marital status, social participation and occupation had positive and non-significant relationship with the training needs. Whereas, gender had negative and non-significant relationship with the training needs. Education had positive and highly significant relationship with the training needs. Participation in off farm activities, information seeking behaviour, mass media exposure, decision making ability, Achievement motivation, attitude of tribal youth towardsagriculture and risk preference had positive and significant relationship with the training needs.

Training needs of tribal youth and constraints faced by tribal youth in choosing agricultural enterprises

Youth is that vibrant time in a person’s life when they can channel their vigour and energy into influencing the course of an entire country. The Ministry of Human Resource Development (1985) considers “youth group” in India as the person under the age group of 15 to 35 years. Tribal youth refer to the youth community belonging to the age group of 15-35 years and have commonality in terms of name, culture, dialect, territory and taboos. Identifying the training needs is the first step of any training programme for a specific target group. The training for tribal youth could serve as an effective tool for developing positive attitude with improved confidence and greater willingness towards agricultural enterprises. This further could help in development of training modules in various agricultural enterprises. It was observed that the overall Training Need Index (TNI) of the study area was 0.48, which was under medium training needs. Within that paddy crop production had 0.46 and Dairy farming had 0.51 index values. It was also observed that only one training need area had high level of training need i.e., selection of variety (0.63) and very high training need level i.e., Health management of dairy animal (0.81). The important constraints reported by the tribal youth were lack of participation in Panchayat Raj System, absence of dairy unit, problems in identification of animal diseases, inadequate irrigation facilities, low rate of milk, etc.

Principles of Emotional Stability among Muslim Youth and its Educational Applications in the Personality of Prophet Joseph (Yusuf), Peace be Upon Him

Objectives: The aim of this study is to formulate the Islamic principles of emotional stability among Muslim youth, considering them the most important groups in society. This is particularly important due to the contemporary challenges faced by youth today, which intensify their tension and emotions. It was necessary to infer the Islamic principles of emotional stability that teach youth to control their emotions and confront their problems in a balanced manner. Additionally, the aim is to acknowledge the indicators of emotional stability in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Methodology: The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, involving the examination of Quranic verses and Prophetic sayings containing specific emotions. Subsequently, Islamic principles of emotional stability are formulated, followed by their pedagogical application to the character of Yusuf, peace be upon him. Results: The study concluded that emotional stability is a contemporary necessity for Muslim youth. It demonstrates that emotions have both positive and negative effects on human behavior. Additionally, there are Islamic principles for emotional stability, and it is considered that the prophets are perfect role models in this regard. This helps youth achieve numerous benefits in their daily lives. Summary: There are various types of emotions, and clear indications of emotional stability are mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah, from which Islamic principles of emotional stability can be inferred. The character of Yusuf, peace be upon him, serves as a pedagogical application for emotional stability in some aspects. Most likely, the results have a positive reflection of emotional stability in the lives of the youth. Recommendations: This study recommends training youth in emotional stability strategies through training courses, workshops, and inclusion of educational curricula addressing content of emotional stability. Furthermore, it suggests guiding graduate students to conduct research on youth emotions and treatment methods.

EXPLORING SKILLS THAT CAN BE IMPARTED TO PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED YOUTH FOR SELF- RELIANCE

In every individual, there exists a rich interplay of strengths and weaknesses, a truth that extends to specially-abled individuals as well. As a society, our role becomes pivotal in championing the strengths of these individuals rather than fixating on their limitations. Embracing them as equals, not objects of sympathy, and affording them equal opportunities are foundational steps. Engaging with them in a manner that fosters a sense of belonging and offering avenues of empowerment are essential elements to enable their pursuit of fulfilling lives. The present study aims to determine the need for skill training for specially-abled youth and to assess their quality of life. This study was conducted at Rambhadracharya Divyang University, Chitrakoot. A total of 150 specially-abled youth were selected and a systematic survey and experimental method was adopted to collect the information regarding respondent's personal profile, disabilities, problems, and present needs. A questionnaire was prepared in the form of Google Form. The survey covered various aspects of textiles and apparel designing-related skills, including fabric identification, cutting, sewing, embroidery, printing, and embellishment techniques, comparing the respondents' current skills with the desired ones for the skill training. The study revealed that the quality of life of specially-abled individuals is influenced by factors like family dynamics, living conditions, family occupation, social skills, education, and personal potential. The disparity between current and required skills highlighted the necessity for professional development, aiming to enhance the overall quality of life. To address these needs effectively and sustainably, the study proposed an individual- and ecosystem-cantered approach.

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Trauma-informed Intervention to Leverage Caregivers in Preventing Opioid Use Among Youth Involved in the Legal System.

Youth in the legal system (YILS) report high rates of substance use (SU), complex family/social relationships, and chronic trauma. The current study tested the feasibility of a prevention intervention, Trust-based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), that leverages family systems by strengthening connection and providing emotional and instrumental guidance and support. TBRI includes the primary TBRI Intervention, comprised of Caregiver Training, Youth Training, and joint youth-caregiver Nurture Groups, and TBRI Family Coaching. With a sample of eight youth-caregiver dyads, the study adopted a mixed-methods design with a multi-informant approach to fulfill two goals: (1) testing TBRI as a prevention intervention for opioid use (OU), other SU, and related issues, and (2) testing the feasibility and acceptability of the TBRI Intervention by virtual delivery. Session attendance and completion rates demonstrated feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants and intervention fidelity. Preliminary results were reported on intervention outcomes, including OU and other SU, illegal activities, and educational attainment. Pre- and post-intervention comparisons showed decreases in youth negative urgency, conduct problems, and hyperactivity. Caregiver and staff participants responded favorably to TBRI and its virtual delivery; youth were more capable of expressing their needs and acknowledged the importance of families in preventing problems after discharge from secure facilities. While acknowledging sufficiency of intervention content, caregivers expressed the desire for more sessions. Results demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of a trauma-informed, attachment-based prevention intervention for youth and families in contact with the legal system. TBRI is a promising approach for preventing the initiation or escalation of OU among YILS.

Skills Learnt in Youth Work Practice Necessary for the Digital age: A Qualitative Study of NEET Youth

Not in education, employment and not in training (NEET) youth as vulnerable groups need to learn and relearn new set of skills needed for the digital age since traditional jobs will be replaced with new jobs that will demand a new set of skills. The study aims to explore the perspectives of NEET youth on the skills they had learnt in youth work practices that are necessary for the digital age. A qualitative approach was employed to guide the gathering and analysis of the data. Some of the skills learnt in youth work practices include business acuity, digital skills, active citizens, and teamwork skill. To improve youth work practices in the digital age, this study recommends that youth workers need to have intensive knowledge so they can implement youth work activities effectively and improve the outcomes of NEET youth in the digital age.

Assistance for Youth Counselors in Efforts to Improve the Implementation of PIK-R

The Youth Information and Counseling Center is a forum for program activities managed for teenagers. The aim of this service is to provide refreshing insight into the function of PIK teenagers as a youth information center and to provide knowledge and skills to youth counselors regarding adolescent reproductive health. This is done by optimizing PIK-KR recording and reporting and training youth counselors by means of socialization through role playing, lectures, discussions and mentoring on the PIK-R program as well as structuring the reporting recording system and simulating how to fill out PIK-R documents. Testing the knowledge and skills of adolescent cadres is regarding adolescent reproductive health and its problems by providing pre-tests and post-tests. The results of the community service show that out of 30 training participants in the pre-test, 28 people got a score <50 and 2 participants got a score >50, with an average score of 40.8. After the intervention was carried out, there was an increase in knowledge as evidenced by an increase in the post-test scores of the training participants. The results showed an increase with an average score of 80. The conclusion of this community service is that the intervention carried out by the community service team has proven to be effective in increasing the knowledge of training participants. It is recommended to continue the same intervention with other trainees to improve their overall knowledge.

Influence of different verbal cue types on countermovement jump performance in youth female athletes

Although external (EXT) verbal cues have been shown to improve jump performance, limited research has been conducted in youth athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how different EXT verbal cue types influenced countermovement jump (CMJ) performance in youth athletes. Ten young trained female athletes (16.80 ± 0.60 years) performed the CMJ using four different EXT verbal cues including external-distal (DIST), external-proximal (PROX), analogy (ANA) and holistic (HOL) as well as a neutral cue (CON). Jump height, reactive strength index modified (RSIMOD), countermovement depth, jump time and force-time measures from eccentric and concentric CMJ subphases were measured. No significant differences between cue types were found for RSIMOD. ANA resulted in significantly higher jump height compared to CON ( g = 0.37). PROX significantly increased jump time ( g = 0.60), concentric time ( g = 0.47) and braking time ( g = 0.52), as well as significantly decreasing eccentric braking mean force ( g = 0.43) and eccentric braking rate of force development ( g = 0.59) compared to CON. Countermovement depth significantly increased when using PROX ( g = 0.60), HOL ( g = 0.46) and ANA ( g = 0.51) compared to CON. These results suggest that compared to a neutral cue, EXT verbal cues result in similar CMJ performance in trained youth athletes. However, PROX verbal cues appear to result in reduced performance in many CMJ force-time measures.

Why combat sports cannot become the basis for military-physical training of hand-to-hand fighters

Scientific problem. An objective contradiction and discrepancy between the complex social nature and narrow specialization of conditional game training and competitive sports activities and real military physical training, focused on a fundamentally different area of narrow specialization, namely the area of military combat and operational service practice. The relevance of the study is to once again get rid of the illusions and misconceptions that have become traditional in the last 70–80 years about the real feasibility of using sports models and projects (in particular, those developed on the basis of combat sports) in the practice of applied military physical training of military personnel, conscripts and pre-conscription youth. The purpose of the study is to prove the inapplicability (or, in extreme cases, incorrect application) of sports models and projects (in particular, those developed on the basis of combat sports) for solving the problems of military-physical applied training and education of military personnel, conscripts and pre-conscription youth. The research methodology and organization include: methods of hypothetic-deductive modeling, logical-linguistic and concrete-empirical programming. Research results and conclusions. The main conclusion following from the materials of this article are the following two theses: • in order to avoid a double illusory-game transformation or «wrapping up» of military-physical martial arts and martial arts, it is necessary to strictly limit the processes of sportization of physical culture to the civilian sector and in no case allow the spread of these processes or their gradual «sliding» into the field of applied training military personnel, conscripts and pre-conscription youth professionally oriented towards military and service activities; • the core of military-applied and service-applied physical training should objectively and naturally be the not yet sportized martial arts and modern military-service functionality, the synthesis of which, however, allows for some targeted borrowing of individual techniques from the field of combat sports.

A comparative study of the performance tolerance between the Air Force Club players and the Naft Club players in youth soccer

The game of football is one of the differential games that has received great attention at the local, Arab and international levels, as the world has witnessed many changes in various sports, whether in differential or individual games, as a result of the continuous efforts by experts towards more understanding of what is contained in the foundations of the rules and the concept Sports training in order to raise the level of training status of the player to bring him to the higher levels, by examining and constantly researching all that is new to add valuable information in training, scientific means are sold. The aim of the research was (to identify the differences in performance tolerance between the Air Force Club and the Oil Club) and to impose the research (the presence of a statistical function between the Air Force players and the oil players) And conclusions - Exercises similar to competition proved to be more influential in developing the endurance of performance and accuracy of scoring for young soccer players in the individuals of the research sample. - The most appropriate training method to develop endurance of performance and accuracy of scoring is the method of high-intensity interval training on the youth sample. The most important recommendations - The necessity of using competition-like exercises in training youth soccer players because of their importance in developing endurance performance and scoring accuracy. Conducting similar research and studies to see the use of competitive exercises in developing other abilities and attributes.

Firearm exposure and safety training of rural Iowa youth.

Our objective was to investigate rural adolescents' use of firearms and whether they had received firearm training. 2019 Iowa FFA Leadership Conference attendees were surveyed. Descriptive and comparative analyses were performed. One thousand three hundred and eighty-two FFA members aged 13-18 years participated. The vast majority (85%) had fired a rifle/shotgun; 58% reported firing them >20 times. Of those who had fired rifles/shotguns, 32% had done so before 9 years old; 79% before 13 years. Most had also fired a handgun (62%), with 30% having fired handguns >20 times. Of those who had fired handguns, 34% had done so before 11 years old. The average age for first firing rifles/shotguns was 10.1 (SD 2.9) years, and 11.9 (SD 2.8) years for handguns. Males, older teenagers, and those living on farms or in the country had significantly greater percentages that had fired a rifle/shotgun or a handgun. Greater proportions of males had used firearms >20 times and started firing them at younger ages. Over half (55%) reported having gone hunting. Of those, 24% first hunted before 9 years old; 48% before 11 years. Of those who had used a firearm, 61% had completed a firearm safety training course. For hunters, 80% had taken a course. Most participants had used firearms, and many did so at very young ages. Substantial numbers had not received formal training. The authors believe that families should be counseled when it is developmentally appropriate to introduce youth to firearms, and all should take firearm safety training before using them.
