This situation has meant that some students have never had access to physical and sports activities as part of their school curriculum. They consequently suffer the detrimental consequences of this situation, particularly on health, well-being, and overall development. To carry out this research, we have analyzed several data sources, such as internal reports and statistical directories of the national education system. We have also studied legislative documents, articles, reports, and chapters on the evolution of school education in Djibouti, as well as ethnographic surveys. Through descriptive analyses, the purpose of this article is to highlight the disparities that exist among different schools in terms of playground equipment and, by extension, access to physical and sports activities. Ultimately, this article emphasizes the urgent need to address the crisis of playgrounds in schools to ensure a better future for PES and enable students to benefit from the physical, social, and educational advantages associated with engaging in physical and sports activities.","PeriodicalId":359676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Sports and Physical Education","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132748976","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}

Hence, the temptation to use performance enhancing substance has become rampant among athletes from these sports. Some of the athletes have tested positive for inadvertent doping after use of performance enhancing substances. This can be blamed on lack of knowledge, as well as attitudes developed by athletes. The purpose of this study was to establish knowledge levels, attitudes towards the use of performance enhancing substances (PES), among athletes from boxing, wrestling, and bodybuilding federations in Kenya. The study utilized cross-sectional analytical research design. The study population comprised of 1900 athletes from the three sports disciplines with a sample size of 384 athletes. Close ended questionnaires were used as the data collection instrument. Data obtained from the respondents was coded and organized for analysis by use of SPSS version 25. Hypotheses were tested using one-way ANOVA and t-test at confidence level of 0.05. Post hoc analysis was carried out using Duncan Multiple Range Test where differences were found to be significant. Results on knowledge indicated that 44.8% of respondents reported that ADAK can advise them on which performance enhancing substances were safe to use. 14.3% reported that they thought PES bought from a pharmacy (over the counter) was safe. In addition, 90% reported that an athlete can be sanctioned for testing positive after taking a performance enhancing substance which they thought was safe. With regards to attitudes, 61.5% of the respondents disagreed that athletes are pressured to take performance enhancing substances. Majority of the respondents (81.5%) disagreed that performance enhancing substances and food supplements should be legalized. Many respondents (95.8%) disagreed that athletes have no alternative career choices except sports, which was a positive attitude. Inferential results on one way ANOVA indicated significant differences in knowledge levels at F (2, 381) = 19.631, p<0.001 and attitudes at F (2, 381) = 25.605, p<0.001 three sports disciplines. In conclusion, knowledge and attitudes of athletes from the three sports disciplines were significantly different.

Everyday activities, including academic and professional ones, necessitate strong motor skills. In any case, numerous understudies need assistance with their coordinated movements which can influence their general exhibition. An experimental design with a randomized control group was used in this study. There were two groups of 100 students in the research sample: the exploratory gathering, which went through an organized actual activity program, and the benchmark group, which got no mediation. Before and after the intervention, students' motor skills were assessed using a tested that was proven to work. The outcomes showed that the organized actual activity program altogether further developed understudies' coordinated abilities contrasted with the benchmark group. Motor coordination, agility, and movement accuracy all improved significantly in the experimental group. They also said they performed better on tasks that required motor skills. This study's findings show that students' motor skills can be improved with a structured exercise program. This study's practical implications include the need to incorporate structured physical activity into higher education curriculum to ensure that students have sufficient motor skills for life success.","PeriodicalId":359676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Sports and Physical Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130252990","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}

The effective questionnaire recovery rate is 93%. This research is analyzed by statistical methods, such as narrative statistics and multiple regression, and so forth. The study has the following findings: In the volunteer service of the National Intercollegiate Athletic Games, the participation motivation of the university sports volunteers is the highest in “the method and techniques of learning to do things”. In terms of job satisfaction, the highest is “Feel that I am part of the school\". Therefore, in the process of volunteering service, sports volunteers feel a high degree of job satisfaction, and their intention to participate in volunteer service in the future is consequently higher.

Methods: Based on the cross-sectional study design, a total of 1035 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years were surveyed in the urban area of Jinhua City. The final valid sample was 884 (including 411 males and 473 females) after screening, due to the methodological difficulties of the food intake frequency survey. The height and weight of the sample were measured, and the subjective perception evaluation of physical activity level, frequency of food intake, residential physical activity environment, and food environment were investigated. Results: (1) No significant difference exists in BMI between physical activity levels in the sample overall and among men, but a significant difference exists between physical activity levels among women (p<0.05). A significant difference exists in BMI between the frequencies of non-healthy food intake in the overall sample (p<0.05 or p<0.01). After differentiating by gender, there were significant differences in BMI among different frequencies of fried food, puffed food, and carbonated beverage intake among men (p<0.05 or p<0.01), and among women for different frequencies of puffed food, sugary drinks, and carbonated beverages (p<0.05 or p<0.01). (2) All indicators of physical activity environment in the residence were correlated with the physical activity level of adolescents and were significant (p<0.05 or p<0.01). The physical activity level of females compared to males was correlated with the safety of physical activity facilities and other environmental indicators in and around the residence and was significant after differentiating by gender.

This study aimed to identify the effect of yogic practice on physiological parameters. College settings had been full of stressors that negatively influence pupils' mental health and academic performance. For solving trainee teacher s' academic performance issues, the yogic practice has been used to improve their academic outcomes. These findings further the knowledge of the role played by yogic practice interventions in reducing pupils' burnout symptoms and cultivating their ability and well-being, in promoting a nurturing classroom climate, and also in promoting the ability and well-being of Trainee teacher s.
