The present study wants to highlight the level of progress and development of short track speed skating in Romania. The study I propose is based on the results obtained by the short track skaters at the National Championships in Romania, monitored for six years between 2014 and 2022. The 1st-3rd places were taken into account, being compared with the world records of that period to highlight the differences between the top results and those achieved at national level. The study was done at the Junior A women age level, the 500m, 1000m and 1500m competitions being targeted. From the data presented it can be seen that for the 1st place in ranking, the best result in the 500m race is achieved in 2017 with a time of 47.32 sec, and the worst result is 53 sec in 2022. The 1000m competition is characterized by various evolutions at the level of sportsmen in Romania, the best result achieved at the level of 1st place ranking being 1:51.60 min in 2021 compared to the worst that was obtained in 2015 with a time of 2:06.020. In the 1500m competition, 2021 is the year with the best result (2:57.12 min), and the worst result obtained at national championships was 3:20.00 min achieved in 2022. In the context presented above we can see a big difference compared to the world record, the biggest difference being 1:01.30 min in 2022 and the smallest being 32.20 sec in 2014. The poor results obtained last year are obvious, the 500m and 1500m competitions being the weakest of those presented, confirming the statement that, with the lack of funding and optimal training conditions, the motivation of the athletes decreases, the prolongation of this situation leading to the abandonment of the sport. Although the year 2022 is not characterized by the worst result obtained in the 1000 m race, it is noted that the trend is to increase the time obtained compared to 2016-2021.

The segmentation and specialization, which characterize the current state of knowledge, the "struggle" and sometimes the declared "incommunicability" between the sciences, today need a modification of the curricula and a consequent and necessary reorganization of educational planning and programming oriented to overcome the unidisciplinary approach. The present contribution, starting from an analysis of the 2004-2007-2012 national curriculum Indications (MIUR) and focusing on corporeality as a medium of cross-curricular learning, aims to initiate insights about the revision of programmatic guidance documents in the Italian context. The study in analysing objectives and developmental goals of the different disciplines within the national guidelines highlights the evolution of the value of corporeality by critically revisiting the usual educational scenarios where the body is often absent or little valorise. According to international educational perspectives increasingly directed toward the development of transversal skills and attitudes and recent research in the field of cognitive neuroscience, some epistemological nodes will be outlined on which to leverage so that corporeality can become a “tool” for the integration of knowledge and experience, traditionally separated from each other: those of speech (verbal dimension) with the less recognized ones of movement, gesture, gaze and the senses (non-verbal dimension). Physical education can enable the implementation of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary paths, foster the implementation of learning environments effective to the promotion of cognitive, social, cultural and affective experiences.

Virtual reality is: "a way for humans to visualize, manipulate and interact with computers and extremely complex data" [Aukstakalnis & Blatner, 1992] (the way through which people can visualize, manipulate and interact with computers and complex data) more precisely it can be an advanced form of a human-computer, an interface that allows the user to interact in an environment generated by an almost real, natural computer, just like in airplane, train, car simulators in which pilots train for the development skills. The same environment can be created to develop and recover cognitive and functional abilities, bringing interactive scenarios designed to meet the needs of patients or create tasks similar to the real world. Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition that causes a significant loss of both active and passive range of motion of the shoulder that occurs in the absence of preceding pathology.

Background: The benefits of physical activity on primary school children are well reported. Nevertheless, the percentage of children meeting the minimum daily amount of recommended moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) declines continuously. Many countries worldwide promote projects in primary schools to sensibilise children to physical activity to fight against this phenomenon. However, most of the interventions focused on the available time dedicated to physical activity and not on the quality of time usage. Thus, this study aimed to identify the role of exercise set-up on the actual time spent by active moving during PA intervention using the "multistation exercise" method. Methods: Twenty children from the third grade of a primary school were recruited to perform 60 minutes of extra-curricular PA intervention. Children performed three different exercise formats, and active time spent by moving or exercising was calculated by video recording the intervention. Results: The final sample size was 12 primary school children (weight 26.83 ± 4.26 kg; height 125.83 ± 6.07 cm, BMI 16.87 ± 1.804 kg/m2 ). The mean active time spent moving or exercising was 50.75 ± 6.46 seconds in the one-station format and 100.13 ± 10.78 seconds in the two-station format, and 148.71 ± 7.26 seconds in the four-stations format. Repeated measure ANOVA showed a significant solid difference among the three formats (p<0.001). Bonferroni Post Hoc showed a considerable difference between one and two workstation formats (p< 0.001; +97% of active time), between two and four workstation forms (p<0.001; +49% of active time) and between one and four workstation set-ups (p<0.001; +193% of active time). Conclusions: The multistation exercise method may be an excellent opportunity to optimise PA intervention in primary school children.
背景:体育活动对小学生的益处已得到充分报道。然而,达到每日推荐的中等至剧烈体育活动(MVPA)最低量的儿童百分比持续下降。世界上许多国家在小学推行项目,提高儿童对体育活动的认识,以对抗这一现象。然而,大多数干预措施关注的是用于体育活动的可用时间,而不是时间使用的质量。因此,本研究旨在利用“多站运动”方法确定运动设置对PA干预期间主动运动实际时间的作用。方法:选取20名小学三年级儿童进行60分钟的课外PA干预。孩子们进行了三种不同的锻炼形式,并通过录像记录干预的活动时间来计算活动时间。结果:最终样本量为12名小学生(体重26.83±4.26 kg;身高125.83±6.07 cm, BMI 16.87±1.804 kg/m2)。运动或锻炼的平均活动时间,单工位组为50.75±6.46秒,双工位组为100.13±10.78秒,四工位组为148.71±7.26秒。重复测量方差分析显示三种格式之间存在显著差异(p<0.001)。Bonferroni Post Hoc显示了一种和两种工作站格式之间的巨大差异(p<0.001;+97%的活动时间),在两个和四个工作站形式之间(p<0.001;+49%的活动时间)和1到4个工作站设置(p<0.001;+193%的活动时间)。结论:多工位运动法可能是优化小学生PA干预的一个很好的机会。

I chose this theme, out of the desire to evolve professionally, to understand and effectively solve the problems encountered in field tennis observed throughout the career of a performance athlete, as well as that of a teacher. Also, I want to bring news regarding the technique of hitting the ball for the right shot in the game of tennis. The sample investigated in the research will be represented by subjects between the ages of 10-12 years from the High School with Sports Program "N. Rotaru" from Constanța. The main research methods are studying specialized literature, diagnostic method – SWOT analysis, tests of the tennis federation (general and specific physical training), statistical method (arithmetic mean), graphic representation method. At the end of my doctoral studies, I will propose a model in tennis training of players aged 10-12, by designing technical training programs that positively influence the game both at training as well as in competitions, also determining a significant improvement of the right shot. The preparation plan will contain exercises in the form of competitions, tests, control rules, verification and official games that will significantly improve the results of the subjects in the tests and the results of the proposed tests will be analyzed within the preliminary research.

Spatio-temporal orientation and balance ability at certain ages show the superiority of a certain gender type in terms of the level of performance recorded. The aim of this study was to investigate whether performance in spatial-temporal orientation and balance ability differs by gender. In order to determine the differences between genders, an analysis was carried out on a sample of 120 primary school pupils who were divided by gender into two groups: 58 girls (M=27,13, SD=6,50 kg; M=129,07, SD=6,58 cm) and 62 boys (M=29,39, SD=7,90 kg; M=130,92, SD =7,02 cm). The following tests were applied: Matorin and Flamingo Test. For the interpretation of the results the Independent Samples T Test was used. According to the results of the research, in the case of the Flamingo Test - the handy leg, the values (M=4.48, SD=4.21) are significantly higher (t=2.21, DF=118, two-tailed p=0.28) than those of boys (M=3.06, SD=2.62). Regarding the Matorin Test - skill part, boys' values (M=283.06, SD=82.04) are significantly higher (t=3.50, DF=118, two-tailed, p=0.001) than girls' (M=232.55, SD=75.35). It is recommended to develop spatial-temporal orientation and balance skills because these skills play a considerable role in sports and technical games where they are in high demand.

In this paper we propose to carry out a study on the somato-functional development of 10-11-year-old students from the ”Vasile Alecsandri” National College in Bacau (Romania) using a standardized test battery – EUFITMOS and comparing the data obtained with the reference values established as normal indices of the World Health Organization for this age category. Method: The research subjects are represented by a number of 54 students aged 10-11 years, 33 boys and 21 girls, voluntarily participated in the measurements. We used only 5 tests out of the 9 that make up the EUFITMOS protocol: Standing long jump; 20m run; Back-saver sit and reach; BMI; Waist circumference. Results: Following the evaluation of the obtained results, we can state that the average of the results obtained by both categories of subjects has a value above the average of the normal fitness zone in two of the tests and the results obtained in the rest tests place both categories of subjects in the "sport" area of fitness. Conclusion: Although the specialized literature places Romanian children in 2nd place in Europe for childhood obesity, following the research we can affirm that the subjects have a normal body mass index in relation to the body mass index measured at the European level for this age group.

At the age of 11-15 (the period of younger adolescents), there are significant changes in body composition due to pre-pubertal and pubertal development. In our paper, the differences in indicators of body composition of elementary school students in the context of age and gender were evaluated. Boys and girls from primary schools aged 10-11 years (n=32 and n=38), 12-13 years (n=36 and n=57) and 14-15 years (n= 38 and n=33) were examined. In addition to age, body height (BH), body weight (BW), Quetelet's index (BMI), body fat mass (BFM), body fat mass index (BFMI), skeletal muscle mass (SMM), percentage of body fat (PBF), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and visceral fat (VFA) were monitored. The data were obtained using the InBody 230 device using the multi-frequency bioimpedance method of measuring body composition. The measured data were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 20.0. Since data were not normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test), they were processed using non-parametric methods through Kruskal-Wallis Anova (age differences) and multiple comparisons with the Mann-Whitney U test with the application of the Bonferonni adjustment. The most significant differences were only found in the intersex comparison of 14-15-year-old pupils, when in the relative values of fat representation (BFMI and PBF), girls achieved higher mean values, on the contrary, higher values of in the group of boys are visible in the indicators describing active body mass (FFM, FFMI and SMM).
在11-15岁(青少年时期),由于青春期前和青春期发育,身体成分发生了显著变化。本文对不同年龄和性别背景下小学生身体成分指标的差异进行了评价。研究对象为10-11岁(n=32和n=38)、12-13岁(n=36和n=57)和14-15岁(n= 38和n=33)的小学男女生。除年龄外,还监测体高(BH)、体重(BW)、Quetelet指数(BMI)、体脂质量(BFM)、体脂质量指数(BFMI)、骨骼肌质量(SMM)、体脂百分比(PBF)、腰臀比(WHR)和内脏脂肪(VFA)。数据采用InBody 230装置,采用多频生物阻抗法测量人体成分。测量数据使用IBM SPSS Statistics, version 20.0进行处理。由于数据不是正态分布(Shapiro-Wilk检验),因此使用非参数方法通过Kruskal-Wallis方差分析(年龄差异)和使用Bonferonni调整的Mann-Whitney U检验的多重比较进行处理。最显著的差异只出现在14-15岁学生的双性比较中,在脂肪表征的相对值(BFMI和PBF)中,女孩的平均值更高,相反,在描述活跃体重的指标(FFM、FFMI和SMM)中,男孩组的平均值更高。

This article presents a new approach to the discipline "physical education" and aims to include all students in higher education institutions in motor activities based on interests (individually or at academic group level), to meet the needs of movement and the orientation towards the systematic practice of a sport during the whole life. The reconceptualization of university physical education consisted in the redesign of disciplinary curriculum, taking into account modern approaches to curriculum development, where the priority role is intended for educational purposes expressed in terms of skills, but also for diversifying the forms of practicing physical education activities. The forms of organizing physical education activities proposed to students are the following: lessons - sports tests on a circle or modules/sports tests, physical education sections and motor activities/sports practised outside the educational institution. These forms of activities will intensify the focus on learner, valorizing on the principles of individualization, differentiation and personalization of the learning process.
