This study aims to describe and explore the anthropometric, physical, psychological, and personality traits of elite Papuan Indonesian athletes in seven different sports, namely weightlifting, rowing, cricket, futsal gateball, sailing, and hang-gliding.\u0000Material and Methods. A total of 118 athletes (80 men, 38 women with a mean age of 25.05±6.9) from these seven categories were selected. Furthermore, the anthropometric measurement consists of height, weight, and body mass index. At the same time, physical ability is made up of five components, namely flexibility, arm muscle strength, abdominal muscle strength, leg muscle power, and aerobic endurance. The psychological ability and personality characteristics were also measured using the Psychological Skill Inventory for Sport (PSIS) and the Athlete's Personality Inventory (IKA).\u0000Results. There were significant differences in the six variables (p<0.01), but no significant difference in the other variables (p>0.05). The six variables include height, BMI, arm and abdominal muscle strength, leg muscle power, and aerobic endurance with F and p-values of 3.052 and 0.008 (p<0.01), 3.497 and 0.003 (p<0.01), 9.822 and 0.001 (p<0.01), 11.855 and .001 (p <0.01), 52.747 and 0.001 (p<0.01), and 11.298 and 0.001 (p<0.01).

Declines in muscular fitness are associated with deteriorated health and well-being parameters. It is crucial to monitor this decline and appropriate tests need to be selected and interpreted correctly. The aim of this research was to apply muscle fitness tests and compare the development of performance between 9 and 12-year-olds and, at the same time, to compare performance differences between boys and girls. \u0000Material and Methods: 225 girls and 259 boys aged 9 to 12 years (11.1 ± 0.9) took part in the studies. Seven tests were selected to assess muscular fitness: bent-arm hang (BAH), push-ups, sit-ups, standing broad jump (SBJ), medicine ball throw (MBT), handgrip dynamometry (handgrip), and pulling back-leg dynamometry (back-leg). Results: The results showed that the development curves of muscle tests are incomparable. A linear increase was recorded for the MBT test. The handgrip, back-leg, and MBT tests have similar development although they do not test the same type of force. A very different trend (stagnation, decline) was found for the BAH and push-up tests. Girls and boys showed a comparable trend in all tests, however, boys always had higher absolute performances. Conclusions: Our data are intended to contribute to the expert discussion on the choice of muscular fitness tests. Based on these results, the selection of multiple tests may be recommended for optimal assessment of muscular fitness. In future research, it would be advisable to follow up by testing a larger cohort.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44908768","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}

Cardiovascular parameters testing can be used by various modalities ranging from ground running to sophisticated computerized treadmills. The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effect of treadmill moderate-intensity exercise with arm crank exercise on autonomic cardiac function among adult males.\u0000Material and Methods. One hundred-twenty male participants participated in this study. They were randomly allocated to a treadmill exercise group with sixty participants and the other sixty participants allocated into an arm crank exercise group. Both groups performed exercises for forty minutes. Autonomic cardiac functions (heart rate variability - HRV), heartbeats, and arterial blood pressure) were determined with the help of Phillips DigiTrak XT Holter heart rate monitor, Polar® Grit X watch, and automatic sphygmomanometer. An independent t-test was used to compare the anthropometric data between both groups. One-way analysis of variance was used to determine the differences between treadmill exercise and arm crank for autonomic cardiac functions among adult males.\u0000Results. The HRV decreased significantly during treadmill exercise than arm crank exercise. Mean values of heartbeats (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and rate pressure product (RPP) increased significantly during both exercises. In comparison, mean values of HRV parameters were reduced more significantly during treadmill exercise than arm crank. Mean values of the HR, SBP, and RPP increased significantly during treadmill exercise than arm crank exercise.\u0000Conclusion. The study's findings suggest that treadmill exercises are responsible for a greater significant reduction in HRV. The HR, SBP, PP, and RPP significantly increased during treadmill exercises than arm crank. This study suggests that when recommending exercise to any individual, the intensity and mode of exercise are crucial.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48758271","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}

Studies on exercise as punishment (EAP) have focused on students and coaches, but less attention has been given to the perspectives of physical education (PE) teachers. This study examined the factors that influence Filipino PE teachers' intentions to use EAP. Specifically, the study examined the role of socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes, and subjective norms in predicting intentions to use EAP in PE classes.\u0000Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from 397 PE teachers from all 16 regions of the Philippines. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data on the participants' socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes, subjective norms, and intention to use EAP in their classes. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to analyze the data.\u0000Results. The results showed that attitude was the strongest predictor, followed by gender (male), subjective norms, and age (over 45 years). This analysis suggests that the intention to use EAP is more prevalent among males and those over 45 years. It also shows that attitudes significantly predict these intentions. This suggests that teachers who perceive exercise as a tool for improving physical fitness and enforcing adherence to rules in a physical education setting are more likely to have such intentions. In addition, respondents with higher social pressure in employing exercise as a disciplinary measure in PE classes showed greater intentions to use EAP.\u0000Conclusions. The intention to use EAP is more prevalent among male PE teachers, those who are older, and those with positive attitudes towards exercise. Additionally, teachers who feel more social pressure to use exercise as a disciplinary measure are also more likely to intend to use EAP. These findings can be used to inform the development of PE teacher training programs and policies that promote the use of positive reinforcement and other non-punitive methods of discipline in PE classes.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46988540","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}

An alternative solution to improve the praxis function in children with Down syndrom is the application of modern therapeutic programs that take place in the aquatic environment. The article focuses on a study tracking the effects of a therapeutic program based on water gymnastics resources as an alternative technology to improve kinesthetic manual praxis in individuals with Down syndrome.\u0000Material and Methods.  Thirty children with Down syndrome (aged between 9 and 11 years) participated in the experiment and were differentiated in equal numbers into two groups: experimental (undergoing an 11-month therapeutic water gymnastics course) and control (taught using traditional technologies). The research battery for tracking the dynamics in the kinesthetic organization of manual movements included three neuropsychological probes with six items each, performed separately by the fingers of both hands. The empirical data were processed according to generally accepted methods of mathematical statistics: a Shapiro-Wilk test for the assumption of normality, descriptive statistics for the dependent variables and an independent samples t- test to verify between-group differences. SPSS 16.0 statistical package was used for statistical analysis, with a level of significance α = 0.05.\u0000Results. In the primary phase, the two groups were homogeneous in terms of the initial results of their performance in the area of fine motor movements. In the final phase, a statistically significant difference was identified between the experimental and control groups in the performance of all three probes: Reproduction of finger postures by the visual model (t = 4.053, p<0.001); Reproduction of finger postures by the kinesthetic model (t = 2.973, p<0.01); Transfer of finger postures by the kinesthetic model (t = 2.866, p<0.05). A significant improvement was registered in the experimental group's performance in all components of manual praxis (Δ= 15.70%; Δ= 12.58%;  Δ= 10.39%).\u0000Conclusions. The positive dynamics in praxis function development within the studied domain serve as clear evidence. These changes in the realization of purposeful, pre-planned manual actions can be generated through a well-structured training and therapy program utilizing the benefits of water gymnastics as an intervention method. This is a sufficiently encouraging fact for children with Down syndrome, given the specific psychomotor profile determined by the genetic pathology.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45626487","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 aim of the study is to determine the level of fundamental skills which consist of motor competence such as balance, mobility, and stability.\u0000Material and Methods. The study has been conducted with people living in the elderly home \"Jetimat e Ballkanit\" who are representative of these people's category living in Kosovo. 10 women and 10 men aged 50-65 were included in the study on a voluntary basis. The height, body mass, and all body composition, such as Body mass index, Body fat percentage, Body water, Muscle mass, Bones, Kilocalories, and Visceral Fat, were measured with medical scales (Tanita BC 545 N Innerscan Segmental Personal Body Analysis). Functional Movement Screen is composed of the Deep Squat, Hurdle Step, Incline Lunge, Shoulder Mobility, Active Straight-Leg Raise, Trunk Stability Push-Up, Rotary Stability, were applied. The SPSS 26 packet was used in the data analysis. Categorization of the participants with pain, low, average, and high ability were made by using frequency statistics. Differences between genders and right/left extremities were made by using Independent-Samples T-Test. Also, a regression Linear model and the Backward Elimination method were applied.\u0000Results. Gender and right/left dominancy analysis of the Functional Movement Screen scores has shown that no statistical differences appear in the data analyzed in the study (p>0.05).

In the context of training young female volleyball players, understanding the criteria, extent, and impact of exercises with heightened coordination complexity becomes crucial. This study aims to determine the evaluation criteria, scope, and effects of incorporating exercises with elevated coordination demands on the specific athletic readiness of young female volleyball players aged 13–14 years.\u0000Material and Methods. The study involved female volleyball players aged 13–14 years (n=24) with an average of 4 years of professional experience. Participants were divided into a control group (n=12) and an experimental group (n=12). Prior to the study, both children and their parents were thoroughly informed about the research procedures, and parental consent was obtained for participation. The coordination exercises were categorized into five groups, each assigned a complexity rating from 1 to 5. The assessment utilized a battery of tests.\u0000Results. The findings reveal that coordination training yielded a more pronounced advancement in the development of various coordination abilities among female volleyball players in the experimental group, as compared to those in the control group. A statistically significant enhancement (p<0.05) was evident across all indices of coordination readiness within the experimental group. In contrast, the control group demonstrated notable progress only in 3 out of 10 instances (p<0.05). In the control group, noteworthy increases (p<0.05) were observed in spatial orientation, motor activity restructuring, and response indicators. Female volleyball players in the experimental group exhibited substantial improvement (p<0.05–0.001) across all indicators of technical readiness, including reception, attack hit, serve, and ball pass. Conversely, the control group players showed comparatively less remarkable changes in this aspect of readiness, with significant enhancement (p<0.05) identified in three parameters.\u0000Conclusions. The strategic incorporation of exercises with progressively heightened coordination demands emerges as a valuable approach in substantially enhancing the range of coordination abilities among young female volleyball players. Recognizing this factor provides the means to expedite and optimize the mastery of motor skills more effectively.","PeriodicalId":52407,"journal":{"name":"Pedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43674718","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}
