The study emphasized the necessity of kinesiology and biomechanical movement analysis in today's physical education, kinesiotherapy, and sports. Our experiment observed a biomechanical motion configuration of semi-squat knee flexion, vertical position, angle, speed, and acceleration. The Kinovea software, version 0.9.3, is utilized as a study tool for biomechanical investigation employing some specific kinesiological characteristics of the movement. The findings of the biomechanical action emphasized the unique semi-squat knee flexion and extension, displaying the complete action from a certain linear angle, angular velocity, and acceleration.

Modern sport activity implies a lot of stress and anxiety, factors that can limit the performance level of a sportive at any category. The study focused on highlighting the importance of assessing the level of anxiety of a volleyball team. The research took place in the season 2019-2020, between 01 September 2019 and 31 March 2020, at the women volleyball club ACS Alpha Sport Team from Sibiu, Romania. The sample of research was the mini volleyball representative of ACS Alpha Sport Team, composed by 15 volleyball players of female gender (n=15), with age between 8-11 years old (10.07±2.04 years old) with an experience of 1-2 years. The research method used was the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) that was used for assessing the anxiety level of the sportive before and after the competition, also the results of the questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistic indicators. The research of our investigation showed that initial anxiety level evaluated at the initial testing in September 2019 (average 23.33) was considered high, the final evaluation of anxiety showed real improvement in the anxiety level (average of 17.33). The conclusions of the research highlighted the idea that using special training for psychological preparation, playing official games and also friendly games can improve the mental strength and also reduce the anxiety level.

This study considered the urban infrastructure legacy impacts of mega-events in the Global South with a specific focus on South Africa’s 2010 stadia. By way of multiple case studies, undertaken in 2010 FIFA World Cup stadia in host cities Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth, and applying a mixed-method approach, n=1120 urban residents living within a 2-km radius were surveyed in addition to interviews with key resource persons. The empirical findings indicate the existence of significant statistical differences in the perceptions of the urban residents and other stakeholder groups regarding the sustainability precepts that accompany the construction of stadia associated with the long-term urban infrastructure legacy implications. While the urban residents and the key resource persons agreed that the stadia had the potential to attract positive urban infrastructure legacy outcomes to their communities, one of the critical observations noted was the agreement that the costs associated with the maintenance and operations of these stadia were currently enormous, posing significant sustainability challenges and contentions. The study provides fresh insights into long-term mega-event urban infrastructure legacy impact assessment from a developing country perspective with innovative planning and strategy implications.

Swimming pools in guest houses and hotels in many cities in sub-Saharan Africa have been labelled ‘beautiful irritation’ or hazard zones for public health issues due to the unwholesomeness of water. Pollution in swimming pools is therefore, not uncommon and it is a serious public health issue both at the global, regional, national and local levels. This study focused on application of water quality index in assessment of swimming pools water quality in hotels in emerging Africa littoral metropolis of Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. It used stratified random sampling technique to select five hotels with swimming pool in Warri for assessment. Temperature, pH, turbidity, free (residual) chlorine, total heterotrophic bacteria, total heterotrophic fungi, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus tested in the laboratory using scientific method of sampling. Water quality index (WQI) was computed using Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI) to evaluate in general, the quality of water in each of the five sampled swimming pools. A five-point scale (excellent, good, poor, very poor and unsuitable) was used to rank each swimming pool quality. Result showed that Wellington Hotel had the value of 2.52 and considered excellent in terms of water quality index value. Also, Brook View and Best Western Plus Hotels were classified as good water based on water quality index values of 36.9 and 39.9 respectively while BB swimming pool was ranked poor due to water quality index of 51.4. In contrast, Oasis Place Hotel swimming pool was declared unsuitable for recreational purpose due to a water quality index of 102.1. The study recommended routine and periodic surveillance of swimming pools and other recreational water sources to guarantee optimum health and wellbeing of users.
在撒哈拉以南非洲的许多城市，宾馆和酒店的游泳池被贴上了“美丽刺激”或公共卫生问题危险区域的标签，因为水不健康。因此，游泳池的污染并不罕见，在全球、区域、国家和地方各级都是一个严重的公共卫生问题。本文研究了水质指数在新兴非洲沿海城市尼日利亚三角洲州瓦里酒店游泳池水质评价中的应用。采用分层随机抽样的方法，在Warri选取5家有游泳池的酒店进行评估。温度、pH值、浊度、游离(余)氯、总异养细菌、总异养真菌、大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌采用科学的取样方法在实验室进行检测。采用加权算术水质指数(WAWQI)计算水质指数(WQI)，对5个样本游泳池的水质进行总体评价。采用五分制(优秀、良好、差、很差和不适合)对每个游泳池的质量进行排名。结果显示，惠灵顿酒店的水质指标值为2.52，水质指标值为优。此外，Brook View和Best Western Plus酒店的水质指数分别为36.9和39.9，被评为水质良好，而BB游泳池的水质指数为51.4，被评为水质较差。相比之下，绿洲广场酒店游泳池因水质指数为102.1而被宣布为不适合作娱乐用途。该研究建议对游泳池和其他娱乐水源进行常规和定期监测，以确保使用者的最佳健康和福祉。

University football has tradition in the Romanian political context. The first teams that made history in amateur and later professional football were founded in the early twentieth century by students who returned to the country after completing their studies abroad. Through this study, based on the experience in already traditional championships such as the British one, we propose a strategy for implementing such a dual system based on professional development and sports in the Romanian academic environment. The existence of 93 public and private universities (in 2020)2 with own specific infrastructure, 22 university centers and about 0.4 million students provide a "fertile ground" for such approach, for competitions with male and female teams. Through specific methods in the field of territorial planning and geography this study presents: the competitive design, the implementation strategy, human resources, infrastructure, spatial models with systemic functionality, etc. Sport in general and football in particular have proven to be the most effective ambassadors of a community, nation or institution etc.

Nowadays, health is not only valued for the individual, but many jobs have recognized that a healthy workforce contributes to a company’s productivity and reduces health care costs, meaning that the value of human resources is an important pillar of the competitiveness of businesses and organizations (Nyitrainé Garaj, 2015; Péter, 2018; Bácsné et al., 2017). The main focus of our research was to examine the effect of incentives used in workplace health promotion on the well-being of the employees and on promoting healthy lifestyle. The data for our primary research was collected via questionnaire. The survey has been designed to provide information about the lifestyle of the average Hungarian employees, the fringe benefits as the incentives of physical activity and their utilization. Beyond this we were interested in finding out if there should be an initiation on the employers’ side regarding physical activity would there be an inclination within the employees for its usage. The result of the survey (N=133) shows that since white collar workers spend the majority of their days with little to no physical activity while working, sough out more sporting activities outside work. The data also suggest a health conscious behaviour among the respondents with high scoring driving factors for physical activity such as the importance of health, stress relief etc. Furthermore, results showed that after receiving these incentives employees engaged more frequently in sporting activities and that there is a willingness for use among those not receiving it.

Beach volleyball is a sports game practiced during performance sports activities and people who love to move, or for recreational purposes, Loisir. The game of beach volleyball resembles the game of indoor volleyball in terms of the similarity of essential execution by the volleyball player and some actions of attack or defense. However, the two sports also have significant differences. This is making beach volleyball one of the most famous and practiced sports, especially in the hot season. Also, statistics highlight that sports with the ball up in the open air have the most massive audiences among the sports practiced at the Summer Olympics.

In the past decades, the harmony of body and soul was getting more and more important,the balance, the self-confidence, and the positive-being, which is supported mostly by health tourism,so this section is improving with huge steps to serve the increasing needs fluently. For the effect of the consecutive social changes, the rules of genders have also changed. At the same time changes could be realized in the consumption habits of different genders. The resource took place from September to December 2018. It happened with a questionnaire survey; we asked the customers of hotels in the Northern Great Plain Region, and the answering was optional – they do it on their own choice. We investigated the participants' data through different dimensions and look for the answer to the question along these dimensions that which specifies had the service customers.

and Abstract : According to recent statistical data outdoor adventure activities play an important role in today’s tourism industry. This growing tendency based on several factors. Primarily there are more and more people seeking for these types of outdoor activities. Young couples tend to establish family in a later age, typically in their thirties. They have more time for active leisure activities such as hiking and nature walking. In addition, they likely to spend a growing amount of money for any unique touristic experience. Nature walks sometimes combined with other nature-based activities such as discovering wildlife in a given area. Not only are the younger, but older generations also opened to outdoor recreational activities and sports too. There are several options for observing wildlife depending on the geographical location; some of them may offer significant physical challenges. Hungary’s North Great Plain region is predominantly flat, while the Bihor region in Rumania is a real mountainous terrain. Hortobágy and the Tisza lake areas offer unique opportunities for birdwatching in Europe. Like any other recreational activity, bird watching is proved to be beneficial for both physical and mental health. Wildlife tourism and avitourism represents serious health-recreational and touristic potential. There is a constant need for quality nature-based sevices, especially associated with wildlife tourism.
