Institutions of higher education are encountering increases in the number of students with mental health issues. As administrators look for ways to promote positive mental health, exploring the role leisure has in the well-being of college students is warranted. This study used the DRAMMA model to better understand the connection of leisure and subjective well-being via the psychological pathways of detachment-recovery, affiliation, meaning, mastery, and autonomy through leisure satisfaction of campus recreation users. Findings suggest campus recreation programs should focus on providing satisfying leisure and recreation experiences that provide meaning, affiliation, and detachment-recovery to students as a potential means to influence subjective well-being.

College students are at risk for adverse mental and physical health. Physical activity (PA) can reduce risks and promote positive mental health; however, less than half of college students meet PA recommendations. Further, few students seek ancillary help such as counseling services. Therefore, in this study we implemented a 5-week evidence-based PA program (#ubwell) in collaboration with counseling services designed to promote students’ PA participation and motivation, as well as positive mood states and mental health. Results showed participants increased in positive feelings and arousal levels during all PA sessions. Additionally, intrinsic motivation significantly increased from pre to post, but PA participation and mood states did not change significantly. The increased motivation and positive affect are promising, and additional research with larger samples and additional campus recreation activities (e.g., fitness classes, intramurals) may provide greater insight into the benefits of PA programs for mental health and wellness.

Existing research in campus recreation establishes a relationship between facility use and academic outcomes, but published studies define users differently. In response to inconsistent definitions of participants in campus recreation, this study uses a data-driven approach to compare facility use definitions. Authors illustrate the implications of choosing different participant definitions for relationships between campus recreation and two undergraduate academic outcomes, first-year retention and first-year cumulative grade point average (GPA). This study uses data from a three-year timeframe, linking sources of data on students’ recreation facility use, academic outcomes, and student records. Authors provide a summary of previous definitions, results from original regression analyses, results for specific student subgroups, and recommendations for defining users.

There are no studies that have investigated the physical activity (PA) trends in Pakistan, the 5 th most populated country in the world. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify trends and differences in PA between intercollegiate students in Pakistan and the US. Three hundred (167 US; 133 Pakistani) intercollegiate students completed a cross-sectional survey used to gauge the PA levels, barriers, and literacy of intercollegiate students in both countries. American students are more likely (í µí±¥ 2 =97.27, p-value <.001) to be moderate to highly physically active in comparison to Pakistani students. American female students were more (í µí±¥ 2 =97.27, p-value <.001) active than female students in Pakistan. Independent t-test showed significantly more major barriers to PA in Pakistani intercollegiate students (6.860 ± 5.56) when compared to American intercollegiate students (3.78 ± 3.94). Out of all students 59.6%, regardless of nationality, correctly recounted the standard PA recommendations, with 1.2% of those students being Pakistani. Pakistani students were physically inactive, faced more barriers, and had lower literacy of PA. This is a novel yet extremely valuable data set for understanding the current trends in the PA status of college students in the fifth most-populated country, 60% of which is younger than 30 years of age.

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have pushed forward the frontier of super-resolution (SR) research. However, current CNN models exhibit a major flaw: they are biased towards learning low-frequency signals. This bias becomes more problematic for the image SR task which targets reconstructing all fine details and image textures. To tackle this challenge, we propose to improve the learning of high-frequency features both locally and globally and introduce two novel architectural units to existing SR models. Specifically, we propose a dynamic highpass filtering (HPF) module that locally applies adaptive filter weights for each spatial location and channel group to preserve high-frequency signals. We also propose a matrix multi-spectral channel attention (MMCA) module that predicts the attention map of features decomposed in the frequency domain. This module operates in a global context to adaptively recalibrate feature responses at different frequencies. Extensive qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that our proposed modules achieve better accuracy and visual improvements against state-of-the-art methods on several benchmark datasets.
深度卷积神经网络(CNN)推动了超分辨率(SR)研究的发展。然而,当前的 CNN 模型存在一个重大缺陷:它们偏向于学习低频信号。对于以重建所有精细细节和图像纹理为目标的图像 SR 任务来说,这种偏差变得更加棘手。为了应对这一挑战,我们建议改进局部和全局高频特征的学习,并为现有的 SR 模型引入两个新颖的架构单元。具体来说,我们提出了一个动态高通滤波(HPF)模块,该模块可为每个空间位置和信道组局部应用自适应滤波器权重,以保留高频信号。我们还提出了矩阵多频谱信道注意力(MMCA)模块,可预测频域分解特征的注意力图谱。该模块在全局背景下运行,以适应性地重新校准不同频率的特征响应。广泛的定性和定量结果表明,在几个基准数据集上,我们提出的模块与最先进的方法相比,具有更好的准确性和视觉效果。

Persistent evidence of inequitable experiences within collegiate recreation exists. Within the same field are multiple articulations of diversity and inclusion's high significance. The intersection of these contrasting ideas suggests there is a need to expand understanding of the role of diversity and inclusion in collegiate recreation. Exploring germane theoretical conceptualizations may allow for those stated goals to consistently align with practical outcomes, resulting in more equitable experiences for collegiate recreation's multiple stakeholders. Thus, the purpose of this article was to propose the integration of two conceptual frameworks which can be applied by researchers and practitioners to increase the scope and depth of understanding pertaining to engagement with diversity and inclusion.

This study investigates whether the benefits of participation in, and perceived service quality of, an intramural sport program contribute to student retention and overall program satisfaction. Health and wellness outcomes, student learning outcomes, service quality, program satisfaction, and student retention in intramural programming were assessed at one Canadian university. The results reveal that participants experience physical, emotional, social and academic outcomes as a result of participation in intramural programming. The results also reveal that benefits of participation (physical health and wellness, emotional wellness, academic learning outcomes, social learning outcomes) and service quality are associated with greater student retention and program satisfaction. The results highlight the unique association between physical health and wellness benefits and student retention. The results also highlight the association between service quality, social and emotional wellness and program satisfaction among participants. Implications for practice and future research are presented.

Collegiate esports is a rapidly growing entity that is managed differently across campuses, with oversight taking place in athletic departments, campus recreation departments, student affairs, and to a lesser degree, academic departments. Esports has the potential to support the recruitment and retention of students while supporting the academic mission of universities through co-curricular opportunities in a variety of subject areas. Despite the broad existence of peer-reviewed research debating the consideration of esports as a sport, limited research is available that asks esports participants if they view themselves as athletes. A total of 120 participants completed a survey instrument that included items from the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale-Plus and the Quality and Importance of Recreational Services instruments. From the collegiate esports players included in this research, we see a complex picture of student-athletes emerging.
