Children are living more sedentary lifestyles today than ever before in America. Physical education teachers need to be our leaders for change by promoting the importance of maintaining a healthy body and mind in today’s youth and promoting life-long physically activity. This article helps to shape the mind of a physical educator and gives them a “don’t” list to make sure are not happening in their classes, if they want students to have a positive PE experience and potentially go on to be life-long physically active learners. From not letting the students pick their own teams to not playing games that eliminate them from competition, the role that the PE teacher plays in shaping students life-long beliefs about the joy of exercise is substantial.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of exergaming for improving balance, eye–hand coordination (EHC), and exercise enjoyment among children with special educational needs (SEN) and probable developmental coordination disorder (p-DCD). This study adopted a single-group intervention with paired results. Nine primary school students (seven boys and two girls, aged 7–10 years) were recruited and underwent a 3-month exergaming intervention involving three 30-minute sessions per week. Xbox One Kinect was used under the supervision of the researchers and physical education (PE) teachers. Preand post-intervention scores were calculated for data analysis. Motor performance was assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition Test. The participants’ gaming experiences were captured using Fun Toolkit. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significant improvements in balance and EHC, but no significant differences in enjoyment scores. The findings indicated a positive impact of exergaming on primary school students with SEN and motor problems. The outcomes indicate that exergaming is an effective strategy for improving motor skills in children with SEN and p-DCD/DCD. Therefore, exergaming could be incorporated into PE curricula to motivate students to participate in physical activities in order to improve their physical health and well-being.
摘要本研究旨在探讨运动对有特殊教育需要(SEN)及可能有发展性协调障碍(p-DCD)儿童平衡性、眼手协调(EHC)及运动乐趣的改善效果。本研究采用双结果单组干预。招募了9名7-10岁的小学生(7男2女)，并进行了为期3个月的练习干预，包括每周3次30分钟的练习。Xbox One Kinect是在研究人员和体育老师的监督下使用的。计算干预前后评分，进行数据分析。运动表现评估使用儿童运动评估电池-第二版测试。参与者的游戏体验是用Fun Toolkit记录下来的。Wilcoxon sign -rank测试显示平衡性和EHC得分显著提高，但享受得分无显著差异。结果显示，游戏对小学生的特殊学习障碍及运动障碍有正面影响。结果表明，练习是提高SEN和p-DCD/DCD儿童运动技能的有效策略。因此，体育游戏可以被纳入体育课程，以激励学生参加体育活动，以提高他们的身体健康和福祉。

Attending college offers many opportunities for students to be involved in many different activities. One activity that may be neglected is physical activity. This applies to all groups of students, in particular College-Aged Females (CAF). The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that affect CAF students from using a college exercise and wellness facility. A sample of 269 CAF (243=Caucasian & 24 African American Female) students (AAF) were surveyed and then interviewed as a group to better learn what barriers may be keeping them from using the campus exercise and wellness facility. Generally, it was found the CAF did not use the college and wellness facility for cultural, educational and personal reasons. The results from this study can be used to better encourage and market strategies to the CAF population on college campuses.

For those that send off their child into the world, it is hoped they will recall what was taught to them. This applies to high school (HS) physical education (PE) teachers and their students that graduate from HS. The purpose of this case study was to assess current HS PE effect in fitness facility participation by interviewing HS PE teachers, fitness facility personnel, current fitness facility participants and current HS students. Participants from these four groups were interviewed to help better understand the preparation of graduated HS students participating in a fitness facility. From this case study three of the four groups felt they had and were being prepared to be successful in health clubs and those activities that are found in health clubs. This study sheds light on the fact that HS PE is the last opportunity of a student to be involved in an organized class that has real world application.

As a result of the continued interest in the expansion of early childhood education opportunities in Ghana, questions have arisen about how to prepare teachers for work in this context. This literature review explores the state of pre service teacher preparation for early childhood education in Ghana. Findings from the review show that Ghana faces a lot of challenges including lack of trained teachers, poor infrastructure, and poorly developed teaching and learning. The first formal declaration to address early childhood education in Ghana came in the form of the Gold Coast Colony Education Department schedule of 1930, which included a syllabus for infant classes as part of a primary schedule. The syllabus included instruction based on games, physical exercises, spoken English, singing, and arithmetic (McWilliam, H.O.A., & Kwamena-Po, M. A. (1975). After Ghana gained independence in 1957, the Education Act of 1961 was enacted to designate preschool as the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, and also declared compulsory basic education (Kindergarten- Middle school) as free for all children from age Four (4) to age Fifteen( 15). Four years later, the Nursery and Kindergarten Unit of the Ghana Education Service was created. The purpose of that unit was to develop preschools, nurseries, Kindergartens, as well as assist in the evaluation, control, and registration of these institutions. The idea of employing teaching staff who were trained teachers and professionals, led to the establishment of the National Nursery Teachers’ Training Centre in Accra in 1965 to train early childhood personnel (Morrison, 2002). By the year 1975, the Department of Social Welfare supervised 488 day care centres and the Ghana Education Service supervised 567 nursery schools and Kindergartens which enrolled 56,089 children. In an effort to regulate these early childhood centres and their programmes, the Department of Social Welfare established guidelines, which required centres to apply for permit and therefore register with the Department of Social Welfare. The Children’s Act of 1989 was therefore established and put into effect.

This study investigated the effects of aerobic training on cardiovascular parameters of diabetic patients attending Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital, Kano (MMSHK). The population of this study consisted of 522 diabetic patients attending MMSHK. A sample of 24 type 1 and 24 type 2 diabetic patients were purposively selected and randomly assigned into experimental (n=12) and control (n=12) for both types 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. However only 40 of the subjects completed the study 10 each for type 1 and 2 experimental and control groups. The participants in the experimental groups were engaged in run/walk training three times (on alternate days) weekly for 16 weeks. Both experimental and control groups continued their medications. The control groups were advised to continue with their normal sedentary daily life. The systolic BP, diastolic BP, resting HR and Vo2max of all the subjects were measured before and after the 16 weeks training. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the stated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed a significant reduction in the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting HR, while the Vo2max increased significantly after the training among the experimental groups both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. The implication of the findings is that engaging diabetes patients both type 1 and type 2 in regular aerobic exercises will surely assist in the management and control of the illness due to the prevention of obesity which is known factor of diabetes. Based on the findings of the this study, it is recommended among others, that aerobic exercise (walk/run) should be used as an intervention in the management of both type 1 and 2 diabetes

Sport administrators, sport coaches and physical educators in schools are expected to be well grounded in their profession. They are expected to work within their limit and minimize occurrence of accidents and severity of injuries if not out rightly eliminate it in physical education and sport settings. More than any other subject in the school curriculum, physical education and sport programmes expose students to risky situations, which sometimes result in accidents and injuries. These may sometimes result in litigations against the physical education teacher or the school authority, and if found guilty, a teacher may pay heavy damages for his negligence and may also lose his job. School authority may also be found to be vicariously liable with the burden of payment of heavy compensation. This paper presents an exposition of legal issues in the administration of physical education and sports in Nigeria schools. While this paper is not attempting to make an attorney out of a physical educator or sport administrator, the paper adopted a theoretical approach to explaining the need to be conscious of what is legally expected of a professional physical educator or a sport coach because parents and students in Nigeria are becoming more legalistic nowadays. This paper explains the roles of professionals in the field of sports and physical education in preventing accidents and injuries, so as to reduce situations that can lead to litigation. The paper also tries to awaken the consciousness of the professionals on the defenses they can put up in case of any litigation emanating from the discharge of their duties and the expected standards of care, which a physical educator must demonstrate in a physical education lesson or during sport outing.

The study investigated perceived roles of sex education on reproductive and sexual health habit of in-school adolescents in Ilorin Metropolis. Adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health habit is very important as this would determine to a large extent the reproductive health outcome of the adolescents. The study investigated: (i) examine if prevention of unwanted pregnancy will be a perceived role of sex education among in-school adolescents; (ii) investigate whether prevention of STIs will be a perceived role of sex education; (iii)find out if avoidance of risky sexual behaviour will be a perceived role of sex education among in school adolescents. A descriptive research design was employed for this study. Population for this study comprised all adolescents in all secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 480 respondents. A researcher developed questionnaire validated by three experts from the Department of Health Promotion and Environmental Health Education. A correlation co-efficient of .87r was obtained through test re-test method using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Data collection was collected by the researcher with four trained research assistants. The seven postulated hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics of chi-square at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of this study showed that prevention of unwanted pregnancy was significantly perceived as a role of sex education among in-school adolescents in Ilorin metropolis because calculated ᵪ2 value of 345.53 is > table 2 value of 12.59; STI’s prevention was significantly perceived as a role of sex education among in-school adolescents in Ilorin metropolis because calculated ᵪ2 value of 156.70 is > table 2 value of 12.59 and avoidance of risky sexual behaviour was significantly perceived as a role of education among in-school adolescents in Ilorin metropolis because calculated ᵪ2 value of 337.35 is > table 2 value of 32.67. It was concluded that prevention of unwanted pregnancy, STI’s prevention and avoidance of risky sexual behaviour will be a perceived role of sex education among in-school adolescents in Ilorin metropolis. It was recommended that sex education should be given adequate priority among other subjects being taught in schools to prevent in-school adolescents from getting involved in sexual risky behaviour that could lead to unwanted pregnancy or contracting sexually transmitted infections which could impaired their educational pursuit and even affect their reproductive system, Sex education should emphasis abstinence to help in-school adolescents delay sexual activities in order to focus on their studies and avoid being dropped out of school as a result of unwanted pregnancy and parents and religious leaders should support the teaching of sex education at home and in school, as well as to provide proper information on sex education to their adolescent children in order to develop positive attitude and bel

Sports participation carries a risk for injuries, which may in some cases lead to permanent disability or death, hence; the need for attention on prevention. Physical fitness is a factor of sports injury. However, there is lack of sufficient evidence on relationship between specific components of physical fitness and sports injuries. This study therefore investigated reaction time and speed as they relate to sports injuries among students of football academies in Nigeria. Correlational research design was adopted for this study, and purposive sampling technique was used to select 128 students from three football academies. Standardised instruments and tests were used to measure the key parameters [i.e. speed and reaction time]. Physical characteristics that included weight, height, position of play, age, dominant leg and experience. Type of injury, part of body affected, event of injury and severity were also recorded. The data collection period was twelve weeks, and the data collected were analysed using percentage, mean, and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient [PPMC] statistical tools. WINKS SDA package was used for analysis and hypothesis were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of this study show that reaction time correlates with sports injuries sustained[r (107) =0.23, p = 0.02], while speed indicates no correlation[r (107) =0.12, p = 0.21]. It is concluded that the level of reaction time acquired and maintained by students of football academies influence the frequency of injury sustained as well as the severity of such injury; while speed level does not have any significant influence on sustenance of injury among the target group.
参加体育运动有受伤的风险，在某些情况下可能导致永久残疾或死亡，因此;注意预防的必要性。体质是运动损伤的一个因素。然而，身体健康的特定组成部分与运动损伤之间的关系缺乏足够的证据。因此，本研究调查了尼日利亚足球学院学生的反应时间和速度与运动损伤的关系。本研究采用相关研究设计，采用有目的抽样方法，从三所足球院校抽取128名学生。使用标准化仪器和测试来测量关键参数[即速度和反应时间]。身体特征包括体重、身高、比赛位置、年龄、主力腿和经验。还记录了损伤类型、受影响的身体部位、损伤事件和严重程度。数据收集期为12周，收集的数据采用百分比、平均值和Pearson积差相关系数[PPMC]统计工具进行分析。采用WINKS SDA软件包进行分析，在0.05水平上进行假设检验。本研究结果表明，反应时间与运动损伤持续相关[r (107) =0.23, p = 0.02]，而速度与运动损伤持续无关[r (107) =0.12, p = 0.21]。结论:足球院校学生获得和维持的反应时间水平影响损伤发生频率和损伤严重程度;而速度水平对目标人群的损伤维持能力无显著影响。
