The purpose of the research was to highlight the effect produced by audio-video technology on the training process conducted in two athletics events by using rating scales for technical execution, which were completed by the coach after watching the videos recorded for each participant. At the initial and final assessments, the investigated athletes performed two tests, namely the running long jump and long throw of the oina ball (140 g), which were video-recorded to measure their performance in meters. The videos recorded in the two testing phases and the two rating scales were used as tools for the assessment of technical execution. The study participants were 12 girls aged between 9 and 10 years. The training programme was implemented from September 2021 to July 2022, involved three training lessons per week and included daily 10-minute viewings of technical execution. The results of the athletes participating in the research highlighted progress in both the technical execution at all moments established by the rating scales and the performance achieved in the two tests. There was a significant difference with a large effect size between the initial and final assessments of the running long jump and long throw of the oina ball (r = 0.88).

Abstract. The research aims to examine the views and motivation levels of physical education and sport teachers in the western Black Sea Region during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigate their differences in terms of various variables. The study group of the research consists of 300 participants. Considering the results, it was determined that female teachers and teachers in the older age group had higher levels of emotion, thought and behaviour regarding COVID-19. However, taking into account the School type variable and the teachers’ COVID-19 transmission status and opinions about COVID-19, there was no significant difference between them, but there were significant differences between the provinces where they lived and their views of COVID-19. As data collection tools, the Multi-Dimensional COVID-19 Scale and the Teacher Professional Motivation Scale were used. To analyse the obtained data, the SPSS 26 program was used. In the statistical analyses, the normal distribution test and the descriptive statistics test were applied to the data and, according to the obtained normality test results, the Independent Samples t Test and ANOVA were applied for variables consisting of two different groups. Moreover, the Tukey test was applied to determine differences between variables. The results were assessed at p < 0.05. No significant difference was found between gender, age and motivation levels, while the province and school type had a significant effect on teachers’ motivation levels. In addition, some suggestions were developed for the results obtained in the research.

The bipedal position acquired by mankind through evolution comes with a heavy price, such as overburdening of the spinal column and lower limbs, comparable difficulties in both breathing and blood transport to the brain. The loads imposed on musculoskeletal tissues during daily activities are modified by variations in joint mechanics, which increases the risk of orthopaedic dysfunctions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a 3-month global physical exercise programme using the Pilates method on the plantar arch. The participants were 18 high school students (11 female and 7 male) aged between 14 and 16 years. Methodology: To evaluate the plantar arch under static and dynamic conditions, the barosensitive BTS P-Walk platform (BTS, Italy) was used. The participants performed a group exercise programme over three months under the close supervision of the therapist; it consisted of 20 sessions carried out twice a week on average, with each session lasting 50 minutes. Initial and final results were compared and statistically interpreted (using the Paired Samples t Test and multiple statistical indicators). Conclusion: The study found numerical improvements in all four parameters, and for three of them, the change was statistically significant (P < 0.05 in the Paired Samples t Test). Statistically significant improvements were recorded for the left foot arch when evaluated in the standing position and for both feet during walking.

In order to achieve high-performance results, a good knowledge of all aspects related to the complex training of athletes is vital. Evaluation and scoring criteria in DanceSport and especially Standard Dances highlight more and more the importance of artistic training and expression for dancers. This scientific approach aims to find an explicit formulation of some opinions about the systematisation of improvisation lessons and creativity training, raising a series of personal and professional concerns regarding artistic expressiveness and body expression from the perspective of Standard Dances. The research methods used in the present paper are: literature review, observation (systematic and participatory observation), conversation and experiment. The investigated sample consists of 10 mixed couples of D-Class Standard dancers (10 girls and 10 boys) aged 16-18, who participate in official Youth competitions and are affiliated to the Romanian DanceSport Federation (FRDS). Analysis of the obtained results has revealed that the differences between the initial and final tests can be considered statistically significant and therefore the training methodology used, including the methods, the means and especially the dosage and stages of training, lead to higher indices, the Student’s t Test values supporting and validating the research hypothesis. By addressing motor skills in a structured learning process, we will be able to influence in an advantageous way the path from spontaneous body expression to educated expressive behaviours.

Proprioceptive re-education improves stability and balance control and reduces the risk of injury. Through this research, we intend to emphasise that simple exercises such as simple assessment tests are equally useful in preventing knee sprain, in terms of primary prophylaxis and recurrence prevention. The study involved 15 active military workers (11 male and 4 female) from the Ministry of National Defence, who were included in the category of people practising the sports activities required by their profession. These sports activities are varied and consist of: athletics, martial arts, football, volleyball and military application routes specific to the training of this professional category. We aim to verify the effectiveness of proprioceptive exercises included in an original programme. We applied the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), which is used by clinicians and researchers to assess static and dynamic balance, track performance changes after implementing a prevention or rehabilitation programme and identify people at risk of injury. For the assessment of knee function-related quality of life following the programme applied to participants, we used the Lysholm Scale and 2000 IKDC questionnaires. The statistical results obtained using the dependent t test indicate significant increases in dynamic balance and postural control for both the affected and healthy lower limbs, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the exercise programme used as well as its therapeutic and prophylactic effects. Consequently, the implementation of such a programme can be a measure aimed at improving the health-related quality of life of active military personnel in the Ministry of National Defence.

Objective: This study was conducted on 27 senior adults in a community in Beijing with the purpose of examining the possible correlation between cardiorespiratory function and cognitive function. Methods: A questionnaire was designed for the basic demographic characteristics. The electronic blood pressure meter and electronic lung capacity meter were used to test cardiorespiratory function. The items of the cardiorespiratory function were scored in standard percentage. The MoCA Scale was used for cognitive function measurement. Results: The average heart rate (beats per minute) was 78.9 with a standard deviation of 13.5, and the average vital capacity (ml) was 1386.3 with a standard deviation of 37.0. In 15 people, the measured blood pressure was above the hypertension standard. The average cognitive function score was 22.5 with a standard deviation of 4.3. Eighteen people (66.7%) had mild cognitive impairments. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that there was no statistically significant correlation between cardiorespiratory function and cognitive function in the elderly (P > 0.05). Conclusion: No correlation was found between cardiopulmonary function and cognitive function in the elderly participating in this study and further large-scale population research is needed in the future. In this study, the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment was higher than in other studies. Attention should be paid to this issue, and early intervention should be done to avoid inactivity in senior adults.

The role of sports activities in the training and development of school graduates cannot be disputed. The benefits of this type of activity can be manifested in several aspects: development of motor indicators, maintenance of optimal physical health as well as development of cooperation skills, interpersonal relationships and personality traits, among which personal autonomy is thought to be one of the most important acquisitions. Preadolescence is a stage characterised both by significant changes in the physical and mental plane. The maximum use of sport in school can be achieved by initiating and carrying out extracurricular sports programmes adapted to the needs of students and the specifics of the grade. The research was conducted between 2018 and 2021 in two schools from rural areas in Vrancea County. The study involved 40 participants (30 boys and 10 girls) aged between 12 and 15 years. A comparative analysis of the results obtained by students in the control and experimental groups was performed through the SPSS program using the statistical method for Independent Samples t-Test, Levene’s Test and Cohen’s d. The results obtained from the statistical analysis support the idea that students participating in the extracurricular sports programme have a higher level of autonomy, are more confident in their future and opportunities and show determination, stability and perseverance in their own beliefs and principles.

The apparent simplicity of the football game and the relatively small number of rules make this sport very easy to implement in any social environment. The goalkeeper position has become of utmost importance in the modern game of football. Nowadays, the goalkeeper’s technical skills are much more diversified, and the requirements for courage, commitment, vision and coordination are essential. The purpose of the present study is to highlight the differences between the goalkeepers of three junior football teams in anthropometric terms but also according to the results recorded when testing their motor skills. To identify these differences and verify the effect of belonging to a group on the studied dependent variables (squats, standing vertical jump, sit-ups, standing long jump), different methods can be used. Given that the research sample consisted of a small number of participants, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used. This non-parametric test is based on the comparison of medians. However, the H test does not specify between which groups of goalkeepers (sports clubs) there are significant differences or not. In order to find out between which of the three investigated groups there are significant differences, they were compared two by two with the help of the Mann-Whitney U test (which is also based on the comparison of medians). The results are discussed in the context of their implications for coaches, physical trainers and sports managers.

The purpose of the research is to identify the opinions of Romanian athletics coaches about the training process and the use of modern technology during the pandemic. The study participants are 115 coaches aged 18-60, M = 42.15 (± 8.73 years), with a coaching experience between 1 and 38 years, M = 19.22 (± 7.89 years). Of these coaches, 70 are men and 45 are women, 80 train junior athletes and 35 train senior athletes. They responded to an online questionnaire that revealed that more than half of the participants (57%) did not use modern devices in their training lessons. However, the use of such equipment is positively associated with competition participation (p < 0.05), and this statement is statistically certified by the Pearson correlation (r = 0.57). The role of modern technology in winning medals at national and international athletics competitions is highlighted by significant differences between participants, in the sense that those who used modern applications in the training process won a larger number of medals (F = 2.73, p = 0.023). Even if the use of modern technology has an influence on athletic performance, there are few Romanian coaches who can afford to purchase smart devices. It follows that modernising the training process is extremely necessary for predicting long-term sports performance so that our athletes can compete and train on an equal basis with international athletes.

It follows that modernising the training process is extremely necessary for predicting long-term sports performance so that our athletes can compete and train on an equal basis with international athletes.","PeriodicalId":31352,"journal":{"name":"Discobolul Physical Education Sports and Kinetotherapy Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88073075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract. One of the most common spinal deformities of the adolescent is idiopathic scoliosis. Even though the literature proposes a large number of nonsurgical treatments, existing studies for conservative treatment provide insufficient data to validate it. Physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises reflect the concept of conservative intervention recognised by the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) as effective in this medical condition. Among these exercises, the Schroth method suggests promising outcomes related to the effectiveness of stopping the disease progression and correcting the spinal deformity. An important criterion used is the active range of motion of the spine. Objective methods are required to assess this parameter, given that palpation and mobilisation are too subjective to produce accurate data or to be reproduced. Thus, many authors choose the fingertip-to-floor test to assess the active mobility of the spine. In the present paper, 15 case studies were monitored, and the conservative treatment programme consisted of individualised Schroth-based exercises for the specific functional diagnostic of this method. The programme was performed 3 times per week in the clinic and 3 times per week at the patient’s home. The assessment involved performing the fingertip-to-floor test in the sagittal and frontal planes at the beginning of the therapy and 6 months later. The research results show that Schroth therapy can improve the active range of motion of the spine.
