The aim of this study was to determine the condition and the difference in postural status of spine in a frontal and sagittal plane in swimmers of juvenile and adolescent age. The sample of respondents, in total, comprised of 53 swimmers of both sexes having at least three-year-long swimming experience, i.e. divided by age: 28 respondents, swimmers of juvenile age, and 25 respondents of adolescent age. `Spinal mouse` was used to assess a postural status of a spine. Based on the obtained results, it may be concluded that there is no statistically significant difference in the number of swimmers of different age groups with postural spinal disorder in the frontal (sig=1.000) and sagittal plane in the thoracic (sig=0.108) and lumbar part (sig=0.237). Statistically significant differences, within each age group of swimmers, have been noticed between the number of children with and without postural disorder: juvenile age frontal plane (sig=0.000), sagittal plane of the thoracic part (sig=0.705), lumbar part (sig=0.001), while with the same statistical analysis, in respondents of adolescent age, was determined: in frontal plane (sig=0.001) and in sagittal plane of the thoracic part (sig=0.028), lumbar part (sig=0.162). Based on the results, it may be concluded that the level of postural disorders of the spine in swimmers of juvenile and adolescent age is high, but that the level of the prevalence of postural disorders is statistically insignificant among the respondents of juvenile and adolescent age.

The objective is to assess the implementation of physical education (PE) component within the basic science technology subjects (BST) curriculum and the time allocation in comparison to other BST subjects. Descriptive survey research was adapted. The population was 109,778, comprising 109,383 students, 78 PE teachers and 317 head teachers of public Junior Secondary School (JSS), representing eighteen (18) Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Edo State. The sample size was 1,060 comprising 70 PE teachers, 90 Head teachers and 900 students; and they were selected using multi-stage sampling procedure. Two instruments were used to obtain data: “Implementation of PE component of BST curriculum questionnaire (IPECBSTCQ) and Time Allocation and General time table information for PE and BST subjects schedule (TAGTIPEBSTS). The cronbach alpha statistics was used to determine the reliability of the instrument, the r-value of 0.95 was obtained for the IPECBSTCQ. Main findings suggest an endorsement of policy statements related to PE within the BST by the PE and Head teachers. Also, PE is not accorded necessary attention compared to other subjects within the BST curriculum. It was concluded that PE and other Head teachers were conversant with National Policy on Education (NPE) stipulations as relates to PE within the BST curriculum; just as it was necessary for more time to be allotted to PE on the general time table in comparison to other BST subjects. It was chiefly recommended that supervisory officials of the Ministry of Education should ensure strict adherence to policy implementation related to PE within the BST.

The study aimed to determine the relationship between fine motor skills and BMI categories of preschool children 5-6 (6.14±.43) years of age (body height 118.86±5.96 cm, body mass 22.88±4.68 kg). 129 subjects, preschool children (59 boys and 70 girls) participated in this transversal study. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated based on measures of body height and body mass, and WHO cutoff points were used to create BMI categories while fine motor skills were determined using two Bruininks-Oseretsky (BOT-2) subtests for children's motor efficiency. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The results showed a significant negative correlation between BMI and fine motor integration (r=-.235, p<.001), manual dexterity (r=-.290, p<.001), and the overall result of fine motor skills (r=-.342, p<.001). These results indicate that in addition to the significant connection between gross motor skills and basic motor skills, proven by numerous previous studies, higher BMI also has a negative effect on the fine motor skills of children, even in preschool age. Overweight children have lower scores on fine motor skills tests compared to normal weight children, which can have consequences for motor development in later life.

Training programmes for young football players are designed to stimulate an optimal development of physical performances relevant to football game. The primary aim of this research is to establish the effect of the static stretching exercise on the motor abilities (flexibility and speed) of young football players. A total of 24 young football players (U17 category) from Football Club “Ramiz Sadiku” were included in this pilot study. Participants were divided into control and experimental group. The research implemented 6 variables: 1) 2 variables for estimation of morphological characteristics (body height, body mass) and 2) 4 variables for estimation of motor abilities such as flexibility (Sit-and-Reach test), and speed (sprint 5m, sprint 10m and sprint 30m). Data processing was conducted with the software package SPSS, 23.0 version and uni-variant analysis was performed. Acquired results show that conducted experimental program for development of flexibility have statistically significant effect only on flexibility variable “sit and reach test” with the experimental group, and no significant effect on speed 5m, 10m and 30m. Based on the data obtained in this research, it is recommended to use static stretching exercises after training (in the recovery phase), 2-3 times a week for the optimal development of the flexibility of the players at the U17 category.

Many studies have examined differences between maintaining balance with open and closed eyes. In this research Virtual Reality (VR) technology is included as a special type of visual input for creating static and dynamic virtual environments. PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper was to determine whether there is a difference between results in balance tests on Biodex Balance System (BBS) with different visual input. METHODS: Participants (n=12) in the study were young, healthy and active males with an average age of 21.25±1.14 years, body mass 82.57±8.37 kg and average body height 185.42±5.18 cm. Six balance tests were applied on BBS, four in the real world and two in the virtual environment. Duration and instability level of the BBS platform were the same for all tests. RESULTS: None of the participants finished the test in a dynamic virtual environment so that test was excluded from further statistical analysis. Factor analysis revealed two main factors (latent dimensions). The first factor is characterized by open eyes tests while extremely high projection on the second factor can only be seen in a case of a test done with the eyes closed.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of aerobic exercise program on the bilateral coordination of preschool children. The boys and girls (n = 60), aged five to six, were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 30) or the control group (n = 30). The children in the experimental group were involved in aerobic training program over a 12-week period. Three training sessions were performed per week, lasting 30 minutes each. For the evaluation of children’s coordination, the Bilateral Coordination subtest from the BOT-2 (Bruininks- Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency) battery of tests was used. The children completed seven different tasks, both at the initial and the final measurement, which were further used to calculate the total score. To determine the changes in bilateral coordination, the two-factor (group × time) univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used, while the effect size, presented by the partial Eta squared, was calculated for each task and the total score. A nonsignificant effect (p = .280) was observed for the task “Touching Nose with Index Fingers - Closed Eyes”, whereas a significant improvements in all the other tasks and the total score were found in the intervention group (p < .05). The magnitude of effect size ranged from medium to large. The findings indicate that the aerobic exercise program contributes to the development of bilateral coordination in preschool children.

Aim of this paper was to examine the contribution of football experience and the self-assessment of tactical/technical skills and social competencies on the perceived self-efficacy in junior and senior football players. A total of 164 football players from Bosnia & Herzegovina have taken part in the research, 79 of which were professional senior players and 85 were professional U18 (junior) players. Three measuring instruments were used in the research: A questionnaire on general information, a self-assessment scale of self-efficacy for football players and a scale for estimating tactical/ technical and social competencies in football was used to gather data. Based on the results and the conducted analyses, it is indicative that the model that encompasses the length of football experience and a self-assessment of tactical/technical and social competencies in senior football players contributed around 8.5% to the total explanation of perceived self-efficacy. In senior players, the length of experience has a greater significance in perceived self-efficacy compared to the perceived success in performing football elements. The set model doesn’t have an equal contribution in junior players, where the model entirely contributed with 14.3% of the explanation of perceived self-efficacy, and the perceived success of performing football elements also has a statistically significant contribution. So, the model which encompasses football experience and the perceived success in performing football elements (tactical/technical and social competencies in football) is not equally predictive in junior and senior players.

Universities, sport governing bodies, and industry associations have employed coach development programs to remedy gaps that coaches experience in their job preparation. The purpose of this article is to report on a single-participant case study that investigated the applicability of one popular theory used in coach development programs: the multidimensional model of leadership (MDML). A key tenet of MDML is that athletes will experience positive gains in their performance and performance satisfaction when coached in their preferred way. Research testing the MDML has produced a nearly universal list of athlete-preferred coaching behaviors (e.g., democratic coaching styles are highly valued). The present case study explored the extent such a list held true for one collegiate athlete during her playing days. A structured telephone interview was used. The participant’s responses were analyzed using discourse analysis. The results of the discourse analysis were synthesized with findings from the research literature used to compose the interview questions (i.e., a critical interpretive synthesis). Findings from the present study indicated there was general agreement between the research-generated list of athlete preferences and the participant’s own preferences as a collegiate athlete. Yet, findings of the investigation also revealed nuances in how situations (e.g., injuries, athlete empathy towards coaches) may influence/explain an athlete’s choice in coaching preference. Namely what is preferred, and preference order, is not static. This study provides coaches with a tangible example of how theory connects to athlete experiences. Key findings are discussed as an educational tool for coaching preparation, including their application to future coach development programs.

The focus of this research is (1) to describe and analyze how the process of online lectures at Universitas PGRI Semarang, and (2) to describe and analyze how the results of the implementation of online lectures at Universitas PGRI Semarang in suppressing disparities in higher education quality. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to monitor and evaluate the implementation of online learning at Universitas PGRI Semarang through the mechanism of online learning guidelines by the Quality Assurance Institute. This research uses a mixed method or often referred to as a mixed method. Data collection for the online lecture process was captured by using an online lecture implementation questionnaire filled out by students and lectures via googleform. The second data is student learning outcomes/achievements downloaded from the Universitas PGRI Semarang Lecture Information System (SIP). The results of the implementation of online lectures at Universitas PGRI Semarang are still not in line with expectations. Because students who carry out online lectures are not necessarily in a place with stable internet access, even though on the other hand online lectures require good internet access not only from the lecturer side but also from the student side. The limitations experienced by these students can cause the understanding of the material that has been delivered by the lecturer can not be maximized. The conclusion of the implementation of lectures are still not maximized so that it needs to be addressed immediately by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of learning, one way is by providing education quota assistance or carrying out blended learning by taking into account the principles of the Covid-19 prevention protocol.

The conclusion of the implementation of lectures are still not maximized so that it needs to be addressed immediately by increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of learning, one way is by providing education quota assistance or carrying out blended learning by taking into account the principles of the Covid-19 prevention protocol.","PeriodicalId":32340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44953703","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}
The aim of this work is to collect relevant research from Montenegro and the region, and their adequate analysis and making meaningful conclusions. The selection of works was made on the basis of issues related to the postural status of preschool and school children and youth. The shortlist included 30 works, which dealt with diagnosing postural status, determining the effects of targeted corrective programs, examining differences in posture in children from urban and rural areas (as well as gender) and discovering the interdependence of deformities with certain segments of anthropological status (usually morphological characteristics).The following conclusions were made: according to almost all the results obtained, the postural status is significantly disturbed and endangered in a large number of children; observed changes in the segments of the locomotor system are mostly of the initial stage, ie. functional type; positive changes in posture have been observed under the influence of applied preventive and corrective exercise programs; equal vulnerability of postural status was found among children from urban and rural areas; the greatest differences in posture between the sexes occur during puberty, and they are detected predominantly on the spinal column; changes in the locomotor system are mostly related to the parameters of the longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton. The obtained results indicate the need for the implementation of studies that would include the diagnosis and application of experimental exercise programs, in order to gain new experiences and knowledge when applying corrective gymnastics exercises in regular physical education classes.
