Service-Learning (SL) as a growing innovative pedagogical model, has recently become more popular in higher education area dedicated to physical activity. Since physical education (PE) students are oriented toward society, it is extremely important for them to develop a sense of connection and responsibility toward society during their studies. This research was carried out on a sample of 58 students of a PE study program, aged between 20 and 22. The first step of the research was to determine six different groups of students using the poly-structured interview about their previous motor experience while considering the type of activity, the length of time engaged in a certain activity and the level of motor skills. Six investigated groups were formed according to their dominant previous motor activity: artistic and aesthetic activities, society-oriented recreational activities, self-directed recreational activities, team sports, individual sports, and martial arts. In order to determine the students' perception of SL Benefits, the SELEB questionnaire was used. The original 27 items generated for the SELEB scale that measure the benefit categories were divided into six categories: civic responsibility, interpersonal skills, leadership ability, ability to apply knowledge, general life skills and critical thinking. One-way Analysis of Variance was used to analyse the differences in investigated groups defined by previous motor experience on SL attitudes among students. The results showed significant differences between groups in SL experience (F5,52 = 3,19; p=0,014). The highest value on the SELEB scale was recorded in the group with dominant artistic and aesthetic activities, and the lowest value on the SELEB scale was recorded in a group with dominant previous experience in individual sports. Significant differences were determined with the post-hoc Tukey HSD test between groups with minimal previous experience in individual sports and groups with dominant previous experience in society-oriented recreational activities, team sports, and artistic/aesthetic activities.

This paper investigates the value of the Notre Dame University football4 program for its educational marketing and finances. A strong interdependence between economy, politics, mass media, and sport caused an exceptional popularity of football in the USA. The University of Notre Dame, Indiana was one of the first to adjust to this trend by revitalising its football program which was established as a part of its developmental strategy as early as in 1887. A hypothesis that the popularity of football was successfully used not just for the promotion of education, but also for the further development of the University of Notre Dame has been analysed through the case study methodology. This analysis concludes that the University of Notre Dame boosted its prestige by using its football program as a promotional tool to become one of the highest-ranking research institutions on the national level. On the other hand, this case study confirms that there is no conflict between religious dogma and evidence-based science if they walk together toward the progress, i.e. if their common goal is to set people free.

The primary aim of the paper is to conduct research on the personality traits in esport players and athletes, in addition to confirming differences in personality between the two examined groups. The research has been conducted on 67 (N=67) examinees, 30 of whom are semi-professional or professional esports players who participate in state-level and regional-level competitions. The remaining 37 examinees are the highest-ranked athletes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. T-test, a type of inferential statistic, has been used to determine statistical differences in disposition between the arithmetic means of the two groups, using the BFI-44 (a=0.78) measuring instrument. It has been anticipated that esports players would be ranked lower on Extraversion (E), Agreeableness (A), and Conscientiousness (C), but higher on the Neuroticism (N) and Openness (O) dimensions compared to athletes. The research indicates that four of the five hypotheses have been confirmed - on the scale of Extraversion (E) with significance levels of p=.000 (p<0.0001); Agreeableness (A) showing p=.002 (p<0.01); Neuroticism (N) showing p=.042 (p<0.05); and Conscientiousness (C) showing significance levels of p=.004 (p<0.01) The fifth hypothesis was not confirmed on this sample. The results gathered on this sample could significantly contribute to understanding the differences between esports players and athletes.

Achieving the recommended daily level of physical activity (PA) in adolescent boys and girls helps improve their cardiovascular health, maintain a healthy body weight, and promote mental health. The purpose of our study was to determine whether there were statistically significant differences between boys and girls aged 12 to 15 years with respect to age and amount of PA on different days of the week. The sample included 606 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students from four Slovenian elementary schools who participated in the study by completing a questionnaire (IPAQ; International Physical Activity Questionnaire, 2006). We used a quantitative research approach and the method was causal-non-experimental. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether the data were normally distributed at a statistically significant level of risk (p > 0.05). Because of the non-normal distribution of the variables (p < 0.001), the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used to determine statistically significant differences between genders, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine statistically significant differences between age groups. Boys were statistically significantly more active than girls on all days of the week except Wednesday (Mon.: p=0.018; Tues.: p=0.001; Thurs.: p=0.020; Fri.: p=0.015, Sat.: p=0.012; Sun.: p=0.001). Significant differences in PA levels between seventh-, eighth-, and ninthgraders occurred only on Sundays (p<0.001), with PA levels changing with student age. The study's findings that adolescent boys are statistically significantly more active than girls raise concerns about gender differences in PA participation during this critical developmental period. Such differences may contribute to long-term health consequences and perpetuate gender inequalities in overall fitness and well-being. The observed differences in PA between boys and girls during adolescence highlight the need for targeted interventions and strategies to promote and improve PA among girls. Addressing the underlying factors that contribute to lower activity levels among girls is essential to promoting a more equitable and inclusive approach to PA promotion.
在青春期男孩和女孩中达到推荐的每日身体活动水平(PA)有助于改善他们的心血管健康，保持健康的体重，并促进心理健康。我们研究的目的是确定12至15岁的男孩和女孩在一周中不同日子的年龄和PA量是否存在统计学上的显著差异。样本包括来自斯洛文尼亚四所小学的606名七年级、八年级和九年级的学生，他们通过填写问卷(IPAQ;国际身体活动问卷，2006年)。我们采用了定量研究方法，方法是因果非实验。夏皮罗-威尔克检验用于确定数据是否在具有统计学意义的风险水平上正态分布(p >0.05)。由于变量的非正态分布(p <0.001)，采用非参数Mann-Whitney检验确定性别之间有统计学意义的差异，采用Kruskal-Wallis检验确定年龄组之间有统计学意义的差异。除周三外，男孩在一周的所有日子里都比女孩活跃(星期一:p=0.018;星期二:p = 0.001;碰头。: p = 0.020;周五:p=0.015，周六:p=0.012;太阳。: p = 0.001)。七年级、八年级和九年级学生之间的PA水平仅在周日有显著差异(p<0.001)， PA水平随学生年龄的变化而变化。该研究发现，在这个关键的发展时期，青春期男孩比女孩更活跃，这一发现引起了人们对性别差异的关注。这种差异可能造成长期的健康后果，并使两性在整体健康和福祉方面的不平等永久化。观察到的青春期男孩和女孩之间的PA差异突出了有针对性的干预措施和策略的必要性，以促进和改善女孩的PA。解决导致女孩活动水平较低的潜在因素，对于促进以更公平和包容的方式促进体育活动至关重要。

The World Health Organization (WHO) released guidelines for physical activity, sedentary behav-iour, and sleep for children under 5 years of age in 2019. In response to these guidelines, this study aimed to determine the proportion of preschool children (ages 3-5 years) who met the WHO guidelines. The time spent in physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep were objectively measured using accelerometer (ActiGraph wGT3x-BT). Screen time and sleep quality were assessed via parent questionnaire. Focus groups were con-1 ducted with parents and childcare staff to determine the feasibility of the protocol. The results showed that only 23% of the children met all three guidelines, and compliance rates varied for each guideline. The physical activity time guideline was met by 64% of children, the sleep duration guideline was met by 74% of children, and the screen time guideline was met by 53% of children. Only a low proportion of children met the WHO guidelines. The methods and devices used in this pilot study proved to be feasible and this has paved the way to conduct the main SUNRISE study in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
