Background and Study Aim. Among the weightlifting disciplines we find the bench press in Powerlifting and Para Powerlifting, which are very similar. They have never been combined for several reasons, the most important of which is the use of two different barbell lifting techniques. Unlike Para Powerlifting, Powerlifting in the bench press involves the use of leg-drive, i.e. leg thrust, which is considered one of the possible determining factors for the success of this exercise. The aim of the study was to test whether the elimination of the leg-drive technique in Powerlifting, followed by a protocol of adapting to the Para Powerlifting technique, without leg-drive, made a difference in terms of lifting the maximum load (1RM). Material and Methods. The subjects were 10 male amateur athletes (22,3 ± 2,4 years old). The training protocol, administered for 2 weeks, consisted of finding the best possible position on the bench in the absence of leg-drive. The 1RM test with leg-drive and 1RM without leg-drive were administered. A dependent-samples t-test was used to compare the differences in 1RM test using the two techniques. Results. The result was not statistically significant (p >.05), as the maxima with the two techniques remained unchanged. Discussions. Para Powerlifting technique, without leg-drive, in bench press, allows athletes without disabilities to lift the same weights as the leg-drive technique, or slightly less. Conclusions. The results obtained are promising and the study, if extended and focused on high-level athletes with positive results, could open a new page in sport, representing a new step in sport towards inclusion.

Background and Study Aim. Despite the growing concern about sedentary behaviors among the youth, there has been limited focus on understanding their impact. These behaviors significantly affect students' physical potential, productivity, and overall health. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of sedentary lifestyles on students and to assess their awareness and attitudes towards these behaviors. Material and Methods. A mixed method of investigation was applied, combining preliminary quantitative research with a qualitative analysis of results. A total of 247 students were measured and tested: 122 males and 125 females, with an average age of 19.3±0.7. The anthropometric parameter focused on was body mass index. The physical test applied was the standing long jump. Students' responses from narrative essays were the basis of the qualitative analysis. The quantitative data collected through measurements and physical tests were directly compared to standards. Results. It was found that 24.5% of young men are overweight or obese. The performance of women in physical tests was lower than average, bordering on poor. Students provided their insights on these findings. Their narrative essays were qualitatively analyzed and synthesized, focusing on the reasons, consequences, and potential solutions related to this issue. Conclusions. This study adds evidence to the limited literature investigating university students' attitudes, opinions, and contexts that contribute to a decrease in their physical potential. The current generation of university students is unmotivated to consistently devote time and energy to physical activities. The comments and insights from students have provided potentially beneficial information for decision-makers in the domains of health education, overweight prevention, and physical activity promotion.

Background and Study Aim. Monitoring the condition of athletes is one of the leading tasks in sports science. Predicting success and skill growth is an integral part of monitoring. The fulfillment of this task requires the use of modern methods and the sensory integration analysis occupies an important place. The purpose of this article is to analyze publications on sensory integration and identify priority research areas in this field. Material and Methods. The bibliometric database Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) was analyzed. 388 sources that met the search criteria for 2013-2023 were selected for primary analysis. Bibliometric methods were used for processing the obtained information. The program VOSviewer 1.6.18 was used for keyword analysis and direct citation analysis with the construction of bibliometric maps, visualization of cluster density, and weight – citations. Results. The leading publication categories in WoS were Neurosciences, Sport Sciences, Psychology, Psychology Experimental, Physiology, Rehabilitation. The distribution of publications by years was fairly evenly. Most publications were related to Germany and the USA. The most frequent institutions were German Sport University Cologne, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Shanghai University of Sport, Institute National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale Inserm, University of Freiburg. The most cited authors were identified. The constructed bibliometric maps allowed us to identify the leading thematic areas of research and current research directions in the field. The two most important clusters were identified. The largest cluster reflects research on balance and posture and the use of special exercises for rehabilitation in different population groups. The second cluster includes the most significant keyword in the whole map – "sensorimotor integration". The works reflect studies of sensorimotor integration, the study of movement features, and coordination and control of movement at different levels. Conclusions. The conducted bibliometric analysis of publications confirms the relevance of sensorimotor integration. A stable interest in this problem has been determined. Research in this area has neurophysiological, sports-recreational, and medical-rehabilitation directions. Neurophysiological research is aimed at analyzing balance and equilibrium and the application of various tests and functional samples. The sport context studies sensory integration in different sports. Recreational publications have investigated sensory integration as a criterion of health. The therapeutic and rehabilitation focus explores the use of sensory integration as a criterion for treatment and rehabilitation. A characteristic feature is the intersection of these directions. There is a lack of studies devoted to sensory integration in sport dancing. There is a lack of studies aimed at studying the psychophysiological state. These types of research should be assessed as relevant.
背景和研究目的。 监测运动员的状态是体育科学的主要任务之一。预测成功和技能增长是监测工作不可分割的一部分。完成这项任务需要使用现代方法,而感觉统合分析占有重要地位。本文旨在分析有关感觉统合的出版物,并确定该领域的重点研究领域。材料与方法。对文献计量数据库 Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) 进行了分析。选取了符合 2013-2023 年搜索标准的 388 篇文献进行初步分析。文献计量学方法用于处理所获得的信息。使用 VOSviewer 1.6.18 程序进行关键词分析和直接引文分析,并构建文献计量图、集群密度可视化和引文权重。 结果WoS 中的主要出版物类别是神经科学、体育科学、心理学、实验心理学、生理学和康复学。按年份划分的出版物分布相当均匀。大多数出版物与德国和美国有关。发表论文最多的机构是德国科隆体育大学、圣保罗大学、上海体育大学、德国国家健康与医学研究所、弗莱堡大学。确定了被引用次数最多的作者。通过构建的文献计量图,我们确定了该领域的主要专题研究领域和当前的研究方向。我们确定了两个最重要的集群。最大的一组反映了关于平衡和姿势的研究,以及在不同人群中使用特殊运动进行康复的情况。第二组包括整个地图中最重要的关键词--"感觉运动整合"。这些作品反映了对感觉运动整合的研究、对运动特征的研究以及对不同层次运动的协调和控制。结论对出版物进行的文献计量分析证实了感觉运动整合的相关性。对这一问题的持续关注已经确定。该领域的研究方向包括神经生理学、运动休闲和医疗康复。神经生理学研究旨在分析平衡和均衡,并应用各种测试和功能样本。运动方面研究不同运动中的感觉统合。娱乐方面的出版物将感觉统合作为一种健康标准进行研究。治疗和康复方面的重点则是探索如何将感觉统合作为治疗和康复的标准。其特点是这些方向相互交叉。 缺乏对体育舞蹈中感觉统合的研究。缺乏旨在研究心理生理状态的研究。应评估这些类型的研究是否具有相关性。

Background and Study Aim. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, distance learning has become a widespread practice in educational institutions worldwide, leading to the adoption of remote electronic examinations (e-exams) as a primary method of assessment. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of admission tests for the sport sciences department, contrasting traditional face-to-face onsite testing with online-based remote testing. Material and Methods. A total of 500 students applied (n =177 distance learning students, n =323 onsite students). From the tests, differences in levels of physical fitness (long jump, sit-ups, burpees, and pull-ups/push-ups) were compared between the remote and the onsite participants. Results. According to univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), there was a significant difference in the level of physical fitness (long jump, sit-up, burpees, and pull-up/push-up tests) between the remote participants (154.01 ± 83.1 cm; 13.85 ± 8.21 reps/60 sec; 6.76 ± 6.52 reps/30 sec; 11.36 ± 8.0 pull-ups/push-ups, respectively) and the onsite participants (172.34 ± 27.0; 15.28 ± 4.01 reps/60 sec; 27.29 ± 6.61 reps/30 sec; 14.76 ± 9.47 pull-ups/push-ups, respectively). Conclusions. The results of the present study indicate that the outcomes of physical fitness tests were significantly higher among onsite participants compared to remote participants. Despite the successful implementation of admission test procedures in the distance sport sciences department, the findings suggest a preference for physical fitness tests among onsite participants due to various factors, including 1) increased motivation, 2) model friction, and 3) competitive atmosphere.

Background and Study Aim. Stimulation of moral development is one of the most important tasks of modern education. Findings of recent studies indicate its importance for sound development of a young person. Research Objective: Examine the impact of moral dilemma discussions, the level of competitiveness, and years of sports training (experience) on athletes' morality. Material and Methods. The research study was conducted by the diagnostic survey method and was based on a quasi-experimental design with experimental and control (CG) groups. A sample of 352 university students in sport and physical education-related faculties participated in the study. They were assessed using Lind’s Moral Judgement Test (MJT) and the Moral Judgement Test in Physical Education (MJT-PE). Results. There were no interaction effects between years of sport practice and levels of general moral competence in an overall group. However, in terms of the sport-specific domain of moral competence, there was a tendency towards statistical significance of an interaction effect (p=0.07) on the levels of moral competence. This was in addition to the main effect (p=0.001) that differentiated the experimental and control groups. The findings indicated that the experimental group scored significantly higher (p=0.0008) on MJT-PE C-index than their control group peers. This disparity can be attributed to the amateur sports students in the experimental group, who exhibited significantly higher levels of moral competence compared to their amateur counterparts in the control group (p=0.0022). Conclusions. This study underscores the positive impact of dilemma discussions on athletes' moral competence within the realm of physical education and sports. The findings strongly suggest that implementing structured dilemma discussions can significantly benefit amateur athletes. This emphasizes the critical importance of incorporating ethical deliberations into athletic training programs, especially for Physical Education and Sports educators.
背景和研究目的。激励道德发展是现代教育最重要的任务之一。最近的研究结果表明,它对青少年的健康成长非常重要。研究目的研究道德两难讨论、竞技水平和体育训练年限(经验)对运动员道德的影响。材料与方法。研究采用诊断调查法,以准实验设计为基础,分为实验组和对照组(CG)。352 名体育运动相关专业的大学生参与了研究。他们使用林德道德判断测验(MJT)和体育道德判断测验(MJT-PE)进行评估。研究结果在整个群体中,体育锻炼年限与一般道德能力水平之间没有交互效应。然而,就道德能力的体育特定领域而言,道德能力水平的交互效应(p=0.07)在统计学上有显著性。这是区分实验组和对照组的主效应(p=0.001)之外的另一个效应。研究结果表明,实验组学生在 MJT-PE C 指数上的得分(p=0.0008)明显高于对照组学生。这种差异可归因于实验组中的业余体育生,与对照组中的业余体育生相比,他们的道德能力水平明显更高(p=0.0022)。结论本研究强调了两难讨论对体育运动领域运动员道德能力的积极影响。研究结果有力地表明,开展有组织的两难讨论能使业余运动员受益匪浅。这强调了将道德讨论纳入运动训练课程的极端重要性,尤其是对体育运动教育工作者而言。

Background and Study Aim. Understanding the relationship between repeated isoinertial lunges and jump and sprint parameters is an important factor in achieving success in sports requiring explosive strength and speed. The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of repeated isoinertial lunges on jump and sprint parameters. Material and Methods. Volunteered 42 students from Sports Sciences Faculty were participated to the study. They were randomly divided into experimental group (EG) (n=22, age=22.8±1.1year, height=180.6±7.1cm, body weight=77.5±8.8kg) and control group (CG) (n=20, age=23.0±2.1year, height=173.1±5.6 cm, body weight=71.3±8.4 kg). As pre- and post-tests, each participant performed squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), and 30m sprint on a non-motorized treadmill. Isoinertial lunges were included in 8 reps with dominant leg (DL), 1 min rest, and 8 reps with non-dominant leg (NDL). As a statistical analysis, pre- and post-test differences were analyzed with independent t test between groups and paired t test within groups. The level of significance was taken as p≤0.05. Results. There were pre-test and also post-test differences between groups in SJ (p<0.05) but there were no differences within groups. Both groups had significant pre- and post-test time, velocity, and power differences [for EG: p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.01; for CG: p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.01, respectively]. EG had significant pre- and post-test differences in stride frequency (SF) (p<0.01). There was a post-test SF difference between two groups (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant pre-test differences between the groups in 30m sprint parameters of NDL and DL. There were only significant post-test differences between the groups in SFDL (p<0.005) and NDL horizontal force (HFNDL) (p<0.01). EG had only significant pre- and post-test differences in SFDL and PNDL (p<0.005 and p<0.05). Conclusions. Detailed studies in SF and SFDL increases result by repeated isoinertial lunges should be beneficial focus on DL neuromuscular activation. Furthermore, incorporating repeated isoinertial lunges into training regimens could be a valuable strategy for enhancing specific aspects of athletic performance in sports that demand high levels of speed and explosive power.

There were only significant post-test differences between the groups in SFDL (p<0.005) and NDL horizontal force (HFNDL) (p<0.01). EG had only significant pre- and post-test differences in SFDL and PNDL (p<0.005 and p<0.05). Conclusions. Detailed studies in SF and SFDL increases result by repeated isoinertial lunges should be beneficial focus on DL neuromuscular activation. Furthermore, incorporating repeated isoinertial lunges into training regimens could be a valuable strategy for enhancing specific aspects of athletic performance in sports that demand high levels of speed and explosive power.","PeriodicalId":51897,"journal":{"name":"Physical Education of Students","volume":"9 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139132691","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}

Background and Study Aim. The aim of the study was to determine and compare basic kinematic characteristics in the key phases of the acrobatic element Salto backward tucked. Material and Methods. The research sample was created from two couples of the acrobatic rock and roll category Main class free style. The time, spatial, and time-spatial characteristics for both couples were determined based on a three-dimensional kinematic analysis. Measurements were carried out with Simi Motion 3D. The acrobatic element Salto backward tucked was chosen based on the fact that it is usually learned as the first overturn acrobatic element with the airborne phase. Results. In the time duration of the acrobatic element, a very similar duration was observed for both couples (CZ couple: 3.59 s and SK couple 3.55 s). The maximal height of the center of gravity the partner from the Czech Republic reach 3.54 m and partner from the Slovak Republic 3.35 m. The biggest difference noticed was between the male partners 14.59° in knee angle in the staff phase. Among the female partners, a difference was noted in the angle between the torso and the vertical plane at the moment of the end of the vertical displacement, when SK female partner has twice as much deviation of the torso, by exactly 19.49°. In the staff phase, differences in acceleration were also observed, when the male partner (16.56 m.s-2) and female partner (25.08 m.s-2) from the Slovak Republic achieved higher maximum acceleration. In the airborne phase was the biggest difference between female partners in the culmination point, namely in the angle in the knee joint (35.98°) and the angle between the torso in the vertical plane at the moment of opening the somersault (25.52°). Conclusions. The findings showed similarities and differences in various aspects of the performance, providing valuable insights into the kinematic structure of this acrobatic element in acrobatic rock and roll. Our study should contribute to the extension of knowledge of the kinematic structure of acrobatic element in acrobatic rock and roll.

Background and Study Aim. Understanding the psychological resilience of the student population is becoming increasingly significant in contemporary times. The research aims to identify the level of psychological resilience among students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, and also the differences in average scores in the level of psychological resilience among them. Material and Methods. The research used a descriptive approach, employing the survey method to collect data. The research sample deliberately included 68 male and female students from the teaching, training, and rehabilitation division in the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used after excluding some items to make it suitable for the Libyan environment. Results. The results show a high level of psychological resilience among the students in both the teaching and training divisions, while it was average for the students in the rehabilitation division. Additionally, there are statistically significant differences between the three divisions, with the teaching division having higher scores. There are no statistically significant differences between the training and rehabilitation divisions in terms of the scale of psychological resilience, due to the similarity of means. Conclusions. Increasing the level of students' psychological resilience may result from assigning greater responsibility to them during the field training period, which simulates their future work environment. Additionally, it is advisable to develop preventive programs aimed at reducing the low level of psychological resilience among students and to prepare guidance programs aimed at enhancing psychological resilience among students.

Background and Study Aim. Understanding the physical condition parameters of students during physical education classes is essential in the context of modern education. This understanding contributes to the development of effective teaching strategies tailored to the specific needs of this demographic. The aim of the study is to investigate the structure and interrelations of physical condition (PC) parameters of students aged 17-19 years in the process of physical education classes. Material and Methods. The study involved 153 students aged 17-19 years old, and their physical development, functional, and physical fitness indices were recorded. The study analyzed intra- and intergroup correlations among 55 physical condition (PC) indices. It examined the correlations among integral components of students' structure, including somatic health (SH), adaptation potential (AP), aerobic physical work capacity (APWC), and biological age (BA). The study utilized factor analysis, correlation analysis, dispersion analysis, and regression analysis to examine the relationships and patterns within the collected data. Results. The analysis of intra- and intergroup relationships among the studied parameters revealed that the structure of physical condition (PC) is consistent between girls and boys. There are close linear dependencies, similarities, and differences in the interrelations of integral PC parameters, including somatic health (SH), adaptation potential (AP), aerobic physical work capacity (APWC), and biological age (BA), between boys and girls. The regression model coefficients indicate that for both genders, SH is influenced by APWC and AP. In girls, AP is dependent on SH and BA, while in boys, AP depends on SH, BA, and APWC. A strong relationship between APWC and resting heart rate (HR) was identified during testing, with boys demonstrating higher levels of APWC at lower initial HR values compared to girls. Conclusions. The study has provided valuable insights into the key components of the physical condition (PC) structure among 1st-year students. These components encompass physical development, adaptation potential, health, cardiorespiratory system functional capacities, speed-strength fitness, biological age, and degree of aging. Findings emphasize the significance of resting bradycardia as an informative marker and criterion for assessing APWC during moderate-intensity muscle activity. The developed mathematical models have proven effective in modeling and predicting students' PC, including the individual integral components (SH, AP, APWC, and BA). These models provide valuable tools for anticipating potential changes in these parameters.

Background and Study Aim. Understanding the impact of swimming exercises on post-Covid-19 respiratory function is crucial for optimizing recovery strategies in affected individuals. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 8-week swimming exercises on respiratory function parameters in adult individuals who have had Covid-19 disease. Material and Methods. Sixteen male students, aged 19-21, voluntarily participated in the study. Eight participants were assigned to the experimental group (EG), and eight to the control group (CG), all of whom were students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences at the University. The EG underwent an 8-week swimming exercise program conducted at the Bingöl Youth and Sports swimming pool (25 meters), three days a week. The CG was not involved in any exercise regimen. Pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF) were conducted using a Cosmed Pony FXdel 2016 spirometer, one day before and one day after the exercise program for both EG and CG. Data analysis was performed using Independent Samples and Paired Samples T tests in SPSS 25, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results. A statistically significant increase in respiratory FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and PEF function values was observed in the experimental group (EG) after the exercise intervention (p < 0.05). This increase was observed when comparing these values to their pre-exercise measurements. In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in respiratory function results before and after exercise in the control group (CG) (p > 0.05). Conclusions. The findings of this study highlight the therapeutic potential of an 8-week swimming exercise program in significantly enhancing respiratory function among adult individuals who have previously contracted Covid-19. These results offer valuable insights for the development of post-Covid-19 rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing the importance of regular exercise, such as swimming, in the recovery process.
