Monitoring The Effort Curve In Physical Education For Normal And Overweight Students Using Smartwatches And Mobile Applications

Pârvu Carmen — 2024-10-03

Study purpose. In physical education and sports lessons, correctly dosing effort is essential for optimising physical performance and adapting effort parameters, including breaks, in line with physiological principles. The study hypothesises that using smart-watches and mobile apps to monitor effort in middle school physical education lessons will reveal significant differences in effort and heart rate between overweight and average BMI students. Modern technology is expected to enhance understanding of students' physical exertion, facilitating adjustments to programs based on health status and fitness level.

Material and method. The study involved 45 students (average age 13.5 years) using 15 Xiaomi 8 smart-watches, phones, Wi-Fi, the Mi Fit app, and other devices to analyse body composition. Data on heart rate and BMI were collected during lessons, which followed the same theme and effort dosage. The Mi Fit app provided detailed aerobic and anaerobic exertion analyses. Parental consent was obtained, and data collection was done under routine lesson conditions. The technology aimed to improve performance and customise programs, offering a personalised approach to physical education. Real-time data transfer enabled accurate analysis of physical effort, promoting healthier lifestyles and better lesson adaptation by teachers.

Results. A significant interaction between heart rate and BMI steps (p < 0.01) shows different cardiovascular adaptations to exercise based on BMI. MANOVA confirmed the significant impact of these variables on heart rate, and post hoc comparisons showed differences between weight categories, except between overweight and extremely obese groups. These results highlight the need to tailor physical education programs to BMI categories to optimise cardiovascular health and performance.

Conclusion. Results suggest that monitoring the effort curve using modern technologies, such as smart-watches and mobile apps, provides valuable information for adjusting and optimising physical education lessons, especially for overweight and obese students.

Evaluation of Penalty Corner Success Rates for Indoor Hockey Players

Sumbara Hambali — 2024-10-24

Study purpose. Penalty corner is a situation that can be used as an opportunity to increase the score in indoor hockey. However, sometimes players cannot take advantage of this situation, so the opportunity to score a goal is lost. One of the reasons is that coaches pay very little attention to penalty corner training, so they don't have data about the abilities of their players. The aim of this research is to determine the success rate of penalty corners for STKIP Pasundan Cimahi indoor hockey players.

Materials and methods. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive research method with a survey approach. The research subjects involved were indoor hockey athletes who were members of the STKIP Pasundan indoor hockey team who competed in the National Championship at Jakarta State University in May 2023, totaling 11 men. For the research instrument, the penalty corner test was used, which researchers analyzed starting from feeder-stopper-shooter and also success in putting the ball into the goal. The analysis uses a percentage approach, to see how successful the athletes are in taking penalty corners, and also what category they fall into.

Results. The results of research conducted on evaluating the success rate of penalty corners for STKIP Pasundan indoor hockey players were good, based on consideration of the highest frequency in the above average category amounting to 6 people or 54.5%, high amounting to 2 people or 18.2% and in the average category 3 people or 27.3%.

Conclusions. Based on the research results obtained in data analysis, it can be concluded that the success rate of penalty corners for STKIP Pasundan room hockey players is included in the good category. It is hoped that the results of this research will open up insight for hockey coaches in evaluating their palyers' penalty corners.

Muhammad Suhail Najm Al-Hamdani — 2024-10-29

Study purpose. University curricula need continuous review, analysis, change, and development due to their strong association with methodological variables. The analysis of the scientific material for swimming (the textbook) according to the indicators of organizing the educational content for swimming activities should be followed to identify the shortcomings and strengths and then follow up on modern educational directives. The study aims to reveal the degree of inclusion of indicators of organizing the educational content for swimming events. Also, it seeks to select and organize proposed educational content for the freestyle and breaststroke swimming events.

Material and methods. The researchers used two approaches; the first was the descriptive approach, using content analysis to analyze and evaluate the textbook for the swimming subject (freestyle and breaststroke events). The researchers prepared a list of educational content organization indicators for swimming events. The second approach was the experimental approach, as the design of the control and experimental groups was used, and the number of sample members was (30) female students. The content application took eight weeks, at a rate of one educational unit per week.

Results. The results showed that the experimental group students excelled in achievement and technical performance in freestyle and breaststroke swimming due to the proposed educational content selected according to logical and scientific selection criteria.

Conclusion. The researchers concluded that proposing and implementing educational programs according to strict scientific and international standards is important. This reflects positively on students' teaching and learning activities.

Amena Kareem Hussein — 2024-11-06

Study purpose. This research aimed to identify the effect of using the constructivist EDGA model on developing female students’ performance of some basic volleyball skills.

Material and methods. The researcher used the experimental method with an equivalent group design with a pre-test and post-test to suit the nature of the research problem. The researcher then identified the research population as the fourth-grade middle school students at the March 11 Girls’ Middle School in the Kirkuk Education Directorate, who numbered (151) students. The researcher used the statistical package to reach scientific results on which she based her research conclusions.

Results. The study found significant differences in basic volleyball skills (underhand serve, overhand pass, and underhand pass) in favour of the experimental with the arithmetic mean for basic volleyball skills (36.700, 28.950, 25.350), respectively. However, the control group obtained the arithmetic mean (26.050, 20.850, 18.150), respectively. The constructivist EDGA model was used in the curriculum, stimulating students' minds and helping them develop. The development unit's clear goals, aligned with the student's current level, will enhance learning and help achieve the educational objectives.

Conclusions. One of the most important of these is using the educational curriculum according to the constructivist EDGA model, which has achieved remarkable development in basic volleyball skills. Using the stages and steps of the EDGA model, along with the nature of the skills and the sample level, led to the theoretical and practical learning of research skills. The research recommendations came as follows: Emphasizing the adoption of the EDGA model in educational curricula related to learning sports skills.
