A sample of 100 respondents was divided into two sub-samples in relation to the number of weekly exercises: a sub-sample of 50 students (control group-CG) with regular PE and a sub-sample of 50 students (experimental group-EG) who, besides their regular classes, had two additional weekly exercises in the form of swimming training. The training program of swimming courses was conducted for three months in the first semester of the 2015/2016 school year. Five standardized Eurofit battery tests were used to evaluate their motor abilities. The obtained results indicate that two additional weekly exercises in the form of swimming training caused statistically significant differences between the EG and the CG in long distance jogging, sit-ups for 30 s and a 20 m run test with a progressive increase in speed. The results suggest that swimming in addition to the already known impact on physiological characteristics positively influences the transformation of motor abilities in students of a younger school age.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

The religiosity factor was evaluated based on the frequency of visits paid to temples to perform religious duties. Concerning their attitudes, the scale used was the Greek version of Attitudes Towards Lesbians and Gay Men (ATLG) with two factors, for male and female homosexuality respectively. The sample consisted of 552 self-oriented heterosexual students. The independent variables used were related to gender, age, and religiosity. From the analysis of the results, it was found that the factor of religiosity has a decisive influence on the formation of heterosexual students' attitudes towards both male and female homosexuality. It is further suggested to investigate the factor in combination with other variables.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

By comparing highest paid soccer players in the world (N=95), i.e., a sub-sample of players with an ankle injury (N=44), and a sub-sample of players without an ankle injury (N=51), it is possible to conclude that significant differences were not found in the variables of age, market value, the number of matches completed, the number of goals scored and the number of assists, as well as in the derived variables of the value of one player's day and the value of one match. In the basic variables the number of days missed due to injuries (222.61±165.61 vs 124.98±110.59), the number of seasons with injuries (5.68±2.23 vs 4.53±2.73) and the number of matches missed due to injuries (35.32±28.07 vs 20.12±19.2), as well as in the derived variables of number of days missed due to injuries per year (40.4±29.33 vs 27.16±18.18), number of games missed due to injuries per year (6.23±3.83 vs 4.32±3.21), value of days missed due to injuries (£7,627±£5,898 vs £5,070±£3,634) and the value of matches missed due to injuries (£13,134±£12,461 vs £9,276±£9,158), statistically significant differences were determined. All determined values were higher in the sub-sample of players who, in addition to other injuries, suffered from an ankle injury as well. In the multivariate exploration of the structure of the basic research variables, the results obtained indicate a latent space that had an interpretable three-dimensional structure. The structure of the space indicated a functionally independent relationship between the frequency and intensity of injury, on the one hand, and the chronological age, the value of the transfer and the player's efficacy on the other. It can be concluded that sports injuries, and ankle injuries especially in elite soccer players, have significant economic reprisals.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

However, the modern way of life imposes such high levels of sedentary behaviours that physical inactivity is among the key risk factors for mortality. People’s participation in active recreational and/or exercise programmes that increase the levels of PA seems imperative if their health is to be enhanced. The aim of this study was to examine the potential differences between the PA offered by Greek Traditional Dance (GTD) and Tennis to adult participants. One hundred and two adults, aged 20 to 76 years, members of GTD (n=57) and Tennis (n=45) clubs, volunteered to participate in the study. The PA gathered during GTD or Tennis was recorded during two randomly selected sessions with Omron 720 pedometers. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was computed on the participants’ total steps (TS) and aerobic steps (AS). Statistically significant differences were found between GTD and Tennis in TS (F 1,100 =35.18, p 10.000 steps/day) and the finding of previous studies reporting PA accumulated during various recreational/sport activities, it appears that both GTD and Tennis can significantly help people achieve satisfactory PA levels.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

Eighty-seven PE lessons conducted by PE teachers with ≥ 16 years of experience (n=35) and teachers with ˂ 16 years of experience (n=52) were evaluated by 348 middle school students (Mean age=12.2±0.5 years). To determine the perceived exertion, the pictorial children's effort rating table (PCERT) was completed, after PE. Children chose an option on an illustrated scale 1–10 perceived exertion. The moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was evaluated using the System for Observing Fitness and Instruction Time (SOFIT) assessing the intensity as the proportion of time that students spent engaged in walking and very active PA during PE. A cross-sectional design was used, the equality of variance was calculated using the Student t-test for independent samples resulting in MVPA (P-value=.659) and perceived exertion (P-value=.205) α≤ than 0.05. In both groups, the average value of perceived exertion was less than 5 points on the scale, which is insufficient to enhance physical fitness. The MVPA did not achieve international guidelines of engaging students in at least 50% of the lessons time in walking and very active PA. It is recommended for PE teachers to develop pedagogical strategies contributing from the school environment to guide students in educational contents for health through PA, as established by UNESCO and recommended by the World Health Organization.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

This study determined muscle activation differences represented as TL during a 9.75-m drag with 74.84 kg and 90.72 kg dummies. Eight men and three women were fitted with a compression short or legging embedded with sEMG wearable technology to measure the quadriceps (QUAD; vastus medialis+vastus lateralis), biceps femoris (BF), and gluteus maximus (GM). After fitting on day one, participants completed maximal voluntary isometric contractions for each muscle to normalize the sEMG signal and calculate TL units. On days two and three, participants performed a 9.75 m body drag using either the 74.84 kg or the 90.72 kg dummy while wearing the technology. Participants lifted the dummy off the floor to a standing position and dragged it as quickly as possible over 9.75 m. Paired samples t-tests calculated between-drag differences for: time; QUAD, BF, GM, and total TL; and QUAD-BF, GM-BF, anterior-posterior (QUAD-GM+BF) ratios. QUAD TL was 9% greater (p=0.035), and GM TL was 8% lower (p=0.043), in the 90.72 kg body drag compared to the 74.84 kg drag. There were no between-mass differences in time, BF TL, total TL, or the ratios. QUAD TL increased while GM TL decreased when participants dragged a 90.72 kg dummy. As drag time was not different between the masses, drag mechanics may have changed leading to increased QUAD TL. sEMG wearable technology could be a useful method to measure TL in law enforcement-specific dragging tasks.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

The sample consisted of 551 children (266 boys and 285 girls), of which 320 were attending primary school and 231 were attending high school. Four instruments were used for collecting data: (a) a demographics questionnaire; (b) the Perceived Autonomy Support in Physical Education scale (P.A.S. in PE) for assessing students’ motivation; c) the Learning and Performance Orientations in Physical Education Classes Questionnaire (LAPOPECQ) for assessing  the perceived motivational climate within the PE class, and (d) a questionnaire based on the Theory of Reasoned Action which assessed the participants' intentions for physical activity outside of school. The results showed that as children grow up and change educational levels, the perceived motivational climate with an emphasis on tasks, the sense of autonomy in PE, and the intention to exercise are on the decline. In addition, it appeared that girls exhibited less intention to exercise compared to boys, especially in the highest level of education, and were more likely to perceive the motivational climate in the PE lesson as task-oriented rather than ego-oriented. To sum up, the gender and educational level of students are considered two key factors for both motivation and a sense of autonomy in PE, as well as for their intention to exercise outside of school.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

A canonical correlation analysis was applied in the statistical procedure to determine the relationships (correlations) between these spaces. Correlations were established between the investigated spaces with four pairs of canonical factors, and it has been shown that situational motor skills have high correlations with performance success in the game of football (Can R.=0.71, on average). It is indicated that the participants whose performance in football play was more successful also had better situational motor skills and that the mechanism for structuring movement is shown to be of great importance for the successful performance of tactical and technical elements in football players.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.

As criteria of learning, we considered variables as the number of falls, balance, body control, movement pattern of the paddling and the amount of time required to get stability on the board. No differences between groups in any criteria were found. We also observed that producing a board made of plastic bottles is 20 times cheaper than purchasing a conventional board made of resin. It can be concluded that the recycled board is as functional as a conventional board, but cheaper and less damaging to the environment.","PeriodicalId":144593,"journal":{"name":"Facta universitatis.
