Data were collected by using surveys and analyzed using mathematical statistics. The survey refers to SERVPERF model to design a six-dimension, intermediary variable satisfaction and behavioral intention five-point scale for the service quality of community sports distribution. The sample size was 261. SPSS25.0 was used to conduct data analysis. Reliability and validity test and correlation analysis of service quality and satisfaction and behavior intention of the elderly were conducted. The Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was 0.932. The KMO value was above 0.8, and Bartlett sphericity test was significant, indicating high reliability and validity of the scale. The analysis results showed that the mean values of the six dimensions of service quality and satisfaction were higher than 4.2, indicating that the elderly had a high evaluation of community sports distribution service quality. Community sports service delivery service quality dimensions and satisfaction and behavior intention between different degree of correlation, in addition to the tangibility of community sports service reliability of distribution service quality, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and practicality for older people to participate in community sports service satisfaction and behavior intention of distribution had significant positive correlations. More women than men participated in community sports service delivery among the elderly since most of the delivery items are dance and martial arts. The elderly had a good participation in community sports service distribution, with the frequency and duration of weekly participation basically meeting the requirements of China's sports population within 4-5 years. They had more than 30 minutes of moderate intensity training at least three times a week. According to the evaluation and satisfaction of the elderly on the service quality of community sports service delivery, community sports service delivery was of high service quality. The service quality of community sports service delivery had a positive impact on the sustainability of elderly people's participation in community sports service delivery, and they were willing to recommend it to people around them to participate. Community sports service distribution activities should be publicized and promoted on the Internet so that more people can participate in the willingness.","PeriodicalId":73469,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physical activity and health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46192425","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 education department has issued \u0000 a notice on further strengthening the physical health management of primary and secondary schools. Many studies have shown that \u0000 physical exercise function training has unique advantages in promoting the healthy development of students' physique and is \u0000 unaffected by venues or weather. This study aims to explore and verify the intervention effect of physical exercise function \u0000 training on students’ physical health indicators, including physical shape, function, and quality. It also intends to practically \u0000 explore the improvement of students' physical health status and expand their physical education and health curriculum. Sixty-four \u0000 elementary school students were selected to participate in the experiment: 32 were in the experimental group and 32 in the control \u0000 group. The experiment was conducted three times a week for 10 weeks. The experimental group performed physical exercise function \u0000 training teaching. The control group underwent routine PE teaching. Before and after the experiment, the compulsory indexes of \u0000 Grade 4 in the national physical health standard for students (revised in 2014) were selected for the test, including height, \u0000 weight, vital capacity, 50m running, sitting forward flexion, 1-minute rope skipping, and 1-minute sit-ups. Body shape, physical \u0000 function, and physical quality of the two groups were measured and analyzed. Independent sample t-tests showed that there was no \u0000 significant difference in body shape, physical function, and physical quality between the two groups before the experiment, and \u0000 no statistically significant difference in body shape between the experimental and control groups after the experiment \u0000 (p > 0.05).

Dragon boating, \u0000 a traditional sports event in China, has become a popular rehabilitation methods of breast cancer. This study examines effects \u0000 of a dragon boating intervention on physical functioning and psychological health in breast cancer survivors. Breast cancer \u0000 survivors (N = 40) were randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). The intervention group \u0000 participated in a dragon boating intervention twice a week over a period of 14 weeks, with each lasted for 75 minutes and \u0000 at a rate of stroke < 60t/min. The control group received no intervention. Patients from both groups were measured at \u0000 during 1 and 14 weeks on levels of physical functioning (30s arm curls for upper limb strength, shoulder range of motion \u0000 for upper limb flexibility, 30s sit to stand for lower limb strength, sit and reach for lower limb flexibility, 4m leg \u0000 lifting for aerobic endurance, and arm circumference for body circumference) and psychological health including self-efficacy \u0000 (measured by German General-Self-Efficacy Scale), stress (by Perceived Stress Questionnaire; PSQ20), and fear and depression \u0000 (by Hospital Depression Scale). Comparing pre- to post- intervention data, significant improvements were found for the upper \u0000 limb strength test (+7.15%; p = 0.023), upper limb flexibility (+ 11.6%; p = 0.008) and aerobic endurance \u0000 (+9.25; p = 0.009) in the dragon boating group. No changes in patient-reported outcomes, lower limb function \u0000 and body circumference were observed following the 14 weeks study period in both groups (p > 0.05). Data analyses \u0000 also showed a significant difference between both groups regarding the subscale \"joy\" (p = .018). Several significant \u0000 results within the intervention group were seen in self-efficacy (p = .014), fear (p = .009) and \u0000 the overall score for fear and depression (p = .043). Both groups improved significantly within \"worries\" \u0000 (pintervention = .006, pcontrol = .019) and the PSQ20 overall score \u0000 (both ps = .005).

Two university PE classes were recruited and assigned randomly to class with peer support (CWP; n=41; 8 underweight, 23 \u0000 normal weight, 5 overweight, and 5 obesity; mean age=19.6±1.3yrs; height=169.5±8.0 cm) or class without peer support (CWOP; n=41; 9 \u0000 underweight, 23 normal weight, 4 overweight, 5 obesity; mean age=19.3±1.1yrs; height=169.1±6.7 cm). Both classes adopted 16 weeks the \u0000 same bodyweight management program for fitness promotion for 90 min/session/week (15 min warm-up, 60 min main training, 15 min cool-down). \u0000 Students in CWP were asked to group with 2-3 students and required to train in the same group throughout the program, while students in \u0000 CWOP were asked to train individually. The two classes were coached by the same teacher and held in the same semester. Body composition \u0000 (InBody320, South Korea) and circumference metrics (waist and hip circumferences, waist-to-hip ratio [WHR], body adiposity index [BAI]) \u0000 were obtained before and after the program and statistically analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Weekly training frequency and duration \u0000 after class were obtained using questionnaire and compared using t-tests. Results showed that the proportion of students in abnormal weight \u0000 is significantly reduced only in CWP (χ2=10.7, P=0.013). Body mass (F=5.96, P=0.017) and body mass index (F=4.40, P=0.039) \u0000 significantly reduced in both classes, and changes in muscle mass and body fat percentage were greater in CWP (45.1±8.9kg vs. 46.0±9.1kg, \u0000 P<0.001, Cohen’s d=0.10; 19.8%±8.0% vs. 18.4%±8.3%, P=0.002, Cohen’s d=0.18) than CWOP (45.8±7.8kg vs. 45.6±8.0kg, P=0.42; 19.9%±7.3% vs. \u0000 19.6%±7.3%, P=0.23). Further, waist circumference, WHR, and BAI were significantly reduced in both groups, and BAI changes were greater \u0000 in CWP (25.01±3.44 vs. 24.06±3.08, P<0.001, Cohen’s d=0.29) than CWOP (24.29±3.53 vs. 24.08±3.34, P=0.42). Finally, CWP group trained \u0000 longer (3.2±0.9hrs vs. 1.6±0.8hrs, P=0.003, Cohen’s d=1.88) and more frequently (2.6±1.3 vs. 1.3±2.1, P<0.001, Cohen’s d=0.74) than \u0000 their counterparts.

{"title":"Theoretical Discussions and Pathways of Including Physical Education in the College Entrance Examination","authors":"Xiaoqiang Qian","doi":"10.18122/ijpah.020140.boisestate","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18122/ijpah.020140.boisestate","url":null,"abstract":"Under the background of the integration of sports and education, the study explored the feasibility and path of including physical education in the College Entrance Examination. Comprehensive literature and expert interviews and other methods were used to analyze the needs of including physical education in the College Entrance Examination. The specific theories are as follows: (a) “including physical education in the College Entrance Examination” can be an important entry point to promote the integration of sports and education and plays a key role of the test baton; (b) Policies that satisfy most stakeholders and conform to public interests at the national level are those that can be implemented; (c) There is no absolute fairness, and the minimum fairness is the prerequisite for policy formulation. On the basis of this, this study proposes some concrete ways: (1) implement the comprehensive physical education score strategy of sports theory examination score (10%) and sports competition score (90%) to eliminate the sole physical and quantitative aspects of examination; (2) Build a youth sports competition system in line with the requirements of “including physical education in the College Entrance Examination”, which is to meet the needs of students of different sports levels and to reflect the fairness of education; (3) Use online platforms and technological means such as big data and artificial intelligence to remove the technological barriers of “including physical education in the College Entrance Examination”; (4) Improve the treatment and expectations of people involved in sports competitions related to the College Entrance Examination; (5) Carry out the “self-acceptance of risk” and improve the school sports accidental injury insurance system to untie the school sports safety and responsibility.","PeriodicalId":73469,"journal":{"name":"International journal of physical activity and health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47760787","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}
