Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how participation in sporting activity affects patient-reported outcome (PRO), including Neck Disability Index (NDI), in males and females.Overview of Literature: Previously, our study reported that factors with a negative influence on the NDI in females were a lack of sporting activities. However, it was still unclear why it affected poor scores of NDI.Methods: The subjects were 473 volunteers. They were divided into two groups (activity and non-activity) according to participation or non-participation in sporting activities using a self-filled questionnaire. The evaluation items were height, weight, grip strength, bone density, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score, standing radiographic parameters, PRO (evaluated by EuroQol-5 dimension [EQ-5D], Oswestry Disability Index [ODI]), and NDI.Results: There were 101 males in the non-activity group and 69 in the activity group and 178 females in the non-activity group and 125 in the activity group. For the males, the evaluation items with significant influence were cervical lordosis (non-activity group:activity group, 17°:22°) and T1 slope minus cervical lordosis (10°:6°, <i>p</i> <0.05). For the females, the evaluation items with significant influence were sagittal vertical axis (28:14 mm), HADS (10.4:8.4), EQ-5D (0.79:0.86), ODI (17:12), and NDI (12:9, <i>p</i> <0.01). HADS and PRO in the females were significantly correlated with the EQ-5D (−0.40), ODI (0.43), and NDI (0.55).Conclusions: Males who participated in sporting activities had better cervical spine alignment but no effect on PRO. Females with sporting activities had better spinal global alignment and less mental stress. It is suggested that sporting activity in females might be associated with PRO because HADS highly correlates with PRO.

Full textAbstract:
This study tests a model specifying that girls' precollege participation in sporting activities will foster positive body images, enhanced perceptions of physical competence, and more flexible gender identities, which, in turn, predict higher college self-esteem. A sample of 220 college females (mean age = 19.65 years) provided retrospective reports of their precollege sport involvement and contemporaneous assessments of body image, perceived physical competencies, gender identity, global self-esteem, and other psychosocial variables. Consistent with prior reports on male and mixed-gender samples, greater precollege sport participation predicted higher self-esteem in this exclusively female sample. Follow-up path analyses and tests for mediation revealed that the model's intervening variables totally mediated the sport participation/self-esteem relationship. The patterning of these data implies that participating in sports promotes females' self-worth by fostering physical competencies, favorable body images, and gender flexibility, and, in the absence of any such psychosocial benefits, participation in sports has little salutary effect on and can even undermine self-esteem.

Full textAbstract:
Previous studies have identified that a behavior can occur through the strongest predictor intention, but there is a gap between intention and behavior. Dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) is known to account for a variance in sporting behaviors in human and animal subjects. However, the relationship between DRD2 and sport participation has been poorly studied, and the limited available reports are inconsistent. The present study was performed to examine the impact of DRD2 on sport participation among Korean university students based on the integrated behavioral model (IBM). Data were collected from enrolled university students in Seoul (N = 45). Participants answered survey questions first, and then they gave investigators their hair to provide DNA information (i.e., the A1 allele of DRD2). DRD2 had a significant effect on sport participation, but only in male students. Male students who carried the A1 allele of DRD2 significantly participated in 105.10 min more sporting activities than male students who did not. Moreover, the effect of intention on sport participation was significantly decreased when considering DRD2. Despite the small sample size, the results of this study could be a preliminary case for a larger study and indicate the direction of future research. Our results suggest that DRD2 may have played an important role as the “actual skill” shown in the IBM.

AbstractThe aim of the current study is to explore the importance of recreational sporting activities’ practice in developing social interactions of children with Down syndrome, and in maintaining communication, participation, teamwork, and socialization from parents and educators’ perceptions. A descriptive approach has been deployed and a sample of 45 parents and 30 educators of children with Down syndrome were randomly selected from the psychological and pedagogical centre for children with mental disabilities, and from the association of El-Wafaa and scholastic and professional integration for trisomy 21 and autism children in Algeria. The results revealed that there is a statistical significance for recreational sports activities’ practice. The results suggest that the practice of recreational sports activities has a positive effect on the social interactions of children with Down syndrome, as confirmed by parents and educators.

SUMMARYAim – The association between sporting activities, or lack there of, and suicidal behaviour has not yet been clarified. The objective of this study was to determine, if sports participation has an impact on risk for completed suicide. Methods – Axis I and Axis II disorders, sociodemographic factors, and current and former sports activities, including various sports disciplines, were assessed by a semi-structured interview by psychological autopsy method in 163 suicides and by personal interview in 396 living population-based control persons. Results – Current sports activities (OR = 0.24, 95%CI, 0.15 to 0.39; OR = 0.27, 95%CI, 0.16 to 0.45) and sports activities at some point in life (OR = 0.33, 95%CI, 0.18 to 0.62; OR = 0.40, 95%CI, 0.23 to 0.68, after adjustment for axis I and II disorders or educational level, each) were associated with decreased suicide risk. Conclusions – Current sports activities and sports activities at some point in life may reduce suicide risk.Declaration of Interest: Barbara Schneider got research funding as young scientist for the project “Psychopathological, sociodemographic, psychosocial, and work-related risk factors for suicide” from the faculty representative committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University of Frankfurt/Main.

BackgroundProximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) is a condition that occurs at all ages and levels of sporting participation. Presenting as localised lower buttock pain with tasks such as squatting and sitting, it can cause disability with sport, work and other activities of daily living. Recent research has investigated the effect of isometric exercise on pain and strength with a range of tendinopathies but there are no published studies on PHT. This protocol paper details a study investigating the effectiveness of isometric compared with isotonic exercise on pain and strength in people with PHT.Methods/DesignThe study is a prospective, cross-over randomised controlled trial (RCT). Twenty participants with PHT, recruited from the local community and sporting clubs will be recruited for the study. Participants will receive one session of isotonic hamstring strength exercises and one session of isometric hamstring exercise, with random allocation to the order of intervention.Primary outcomes will be hamstring strength measured with a dynamometer and pain with a functional task, assessed immediately following and 45 min after intervention. A secondary outcome will be pain with sitting assessed 24 hours after intervention.The effect of isotonic versus isometric exercise on hamstring pain and strength will be determined using a repeated measures linear mixed model. Further analyses will determine the proportion of patients with clinically important pain and strength improvements, using relative risks, χ2 testing and number needed to treat.DiscussionThis RCT protocol will investigate the effect of isometric compared with isotonic exercise for PHT.

Full textAbstract:
Youth sporting activities have been explored as a way to impact positive personal transformation and development, glaringly demonstrated by world-wide investments in public policies, programs, and projects. We studied positive effects of participation in sports on the developmental assets of 614 adolescents (13.1 ± 1.7 years) actively engaged in extracurricular sport programs targeted at socially disadvantaged youths, from five municipalities across five states of the southern, south-eastern and north-eastern regions of Brazil. Participants responded to a developmental assets questionnaire designed to capture sociodemographic and human development data. Multilevel logistic regression was used to explore associations between years of participation in sport and human development indicators, controlling for age and sex. Our results showed that the quality of the young people’s support network and duration of program participation positively influenced sport participation, which, in turn, was associated with willingness to learn. A strong association was also observed between sport participation and developmental assets. Thus, we offer new evidence of a relationship between positive development and environmental factors in which individual and contextual forces can be aligned, and we provide new reference data for developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
The research into the educational effect of sport for youths aims at finding the ways for the coaches and parents to create a positive motivational environment for young athletes. Participation of family members in youth sports has a great effect on young athlete’s development and continuation of sports activities. In this background coaches have ample opportunities to influence parent–child relations and positive development of these relations. The coach can unite parents and children through sport, encourage their collaboration, act as a moderator, mediator, and counsellor. The article analyses the coaches’ influence on parent–child interaction in sports activities, as well as prerequisites for the effectiveness of such influence.The aim of the article is to reveal the coach’s role in encouraging parent–child interaction in sport activities. Objectives of literature review: 1) Analyse the factors of coaches’ role in encouraging parent–child interaction in sport activities; 2) reveal the importance of the coach’s competence for the stimulation of parent–child interaction in sport activities. Applied research methods: scientific literature analysis and generalization. Scientific literature analysis revealed the importance of the coaches’ role in encouraging parent–child interaction in sport activities in order to create a positive motivational environment for young athletes. A more or less positive training and education strategy used by the coach, the coach’s ability to create parental interest in the child’s sport, to build and maintain positive relationships between sport participants, solve ethical and social problems arising in the sporting environment have a significant influence on parent–child interaction. The effectiveness of the coach’s influence on parent–child interaction in the sporting environment largely depends on the coach’s basic professional skills and intrapersonal competencies acquired in higher sport education institutions, through growing work experience and various professional development programmes. In terms of methodological skills and intellectual proficiencies, the importance of metacognitive competency involving a coach’s reflection and the need for self–study is highlighted along with the importance and benefit of long–term educational programmes. Key–words: sports activities, educational interactions, parents, children, coaches, competences, sports coaching degree and certificate programmes.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the relationship between participation in a culturally-based arts program and the self-efficacy, self-expression, and achievement motivation in at-risk youth attending Atlanta public schools. The theoretical base used to examine this relationship was grounded in the social cognitive. Interviews conducted with students and parents provided demographic information as well as data on the participation in a culturally-based arts program and the resulting effect on self-efficacy, self-expression, and achievement motivation. Participants included a sample of 108 students between 10 and 14 years of age (M = 11.6, SD = .90). The results of the ANOVA data analysis revealed significant mean differences in self-efficacy and self-expression between the culturally-based arts program participation intervention group and the control group. The analysis indicated no significant mean differences in achievement motivation. There were no significant mean differences in self-efficacy from the pretest and posttest between ages. However, there were significant mean differences in self-expression and achievement motivation scores from the pretests and posttests between ages. Social implications of the research revealed the impact of program involvement on the acceptance of diversity within adolescent development. Social change can happen as a result of this acceptance of diversity. With this knowledge, curricula developers and program implementers may better identify the negative views associated with free expression that have the potential to drive students toward a rejection of academic success or performance-avoidance in the educational environment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was twofold, to determine (1) if obesity is more prevalent among youths with functional limitations than among youths without special needs; and (2) to determine if variables related to the domains of youth lifestyle, parenting experience, perceived social capital, and youth social participation mediate the relationship between youths with functional limitations and obesity. Design: This study is a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the nationally representative dataset, the National Survey of Children’s Health. Exposure: Youths between the ages of 10 and 17 with functional limitations or no special healthcare needs. Outcome: Sex-specific body mass index ≥ 95th for age percentile values using 2000 Center of Disease Control growth charts. Variables of interest: Potential mediators were examined in four domains: (1) youth lifestyle, defined as participation in after-school sports, physical activities, hours spent watching television, having a television set in the youth’s bedroom, eating family meals together, and getting enough sleep; (2) parenting experience, defined as parental aggravation, coping, and emotional support; (3) perceived neighborhood social capital; and (4) youth social participation, defined as participation in after-school club activities. Results: Gender was an effect modifier, with 27.7% of females with functional limitations being obese, as compared to 12.9% of females with no special needs. There was no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of obesity in male youths with functional limitations and in those with no special needs. The association between female youths with functional limitations and obesity was partly mediated by participation in after-school sports and participation in physical activities. Conclusion/Implications: The findings from this study suggest that lack of female participation in after-school sports and physical activities is partly responsible for the increased prevalence of obesity in those with functional limitations compared to those with no special needs. Future interventions that reduce barriers to and increase facilitators of after-school sports and physical activities could reduce the difference in obesity prevalences between females with functional limitations and those with no special needs.

Abstract This study investigated the meanings of collaborative organization of sports activities by teachers and students from the perspective of cooperative learning. South Elementary School is a school consisting of only 6 classes, with no more than 100 students in total. Hence, the family system that mixes students from different grades is used in implementation of a variety of courses and activities. Having been used for more than 30 years, this system has become a feature of this school. The spirit of cooperative learning is seen in the interactions among family members. In the interclass sports activities held in the second semester of every year, all the races are also jointly completed by members of each family. “Teachers plan, and students implement” is the way how sports activities were run in the past. In recent years, the concept of “learning community” has emerged. The researcher of this paper was motivated by this idea to contemplate if it is possible to let “students plan sports activities through group thinking” where “family members have to build their group cohesiveness so as to accomplish the task together”. Therefore, the researcher allowed the last interclass sports competition to be fully dominated by students, from design to implementation. What students could learn in the process and whether they could design different sports activities through group thinking were the focuses of this study. Based on the action research method, this study investigated how teachers and students collaborate in organizing sports activities based on the family system. From the perspective of cooperative learning, this study evaluated students’ learning effectiveness (peer evaluation and self-reflection) through interactions with teachers and peers. After analysis of the researcher’s journals, field observations, learning sheets, and video records, the following conclusions were obtained: (1) with proper assistance and guidance of teachers, most students were able to design activities with high feasibility through peer cooperation; (2) the feedbacks of teachers and students showed that most students had the attitude of self-reflection and the ability to provide comments to others. From observations of how the activities were organized, the researcher summarized the following few tips on implementing collaborative organization of sports activities for teachers interested in this instruction: (1) the format of students' design plans should be clear; (2) the course should be planned earlier and with long-term considerations; (3) the planning activity should take place outside regular class hours (e.g. morning assembly, between-class activities, and health education class). Keywords: cooperative learning, family system, sports activities

In addition to the transfer of knowledge and ethics, the development of a diverse talent community is one of our characteristics. Let students explore and learn freely from diverse community activities. In addition to the advantages of multiple exhibitions. After-school clubs also help children with less income at home to have the opportunity to learn talents. Not only will not delay the class time of the class teacher. For the children in the school district, there are more different options when choosing after-school activities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current situation and relevance of motivation, learning satisfaction and learning effectiveness of post-school community members in Nantou County, and comparing the differences in motivation, learning satisfaction 、 learning outcomes of primary school students in different genders after class. For the relevant units as a reference for the future planning of small and medium-sized society activities. This study uses the questionnaire survey method to collect relevant data, and analyzes it by descriptive statistics, t-test and other statistical methods. The results obtained by the institute are summarized as follows: 1.Students are more inclined to "learning interest" in the motivation scale for participation, showing that students understand their interest in learning. 2.In terms of learning satisfaction with the after-school community. Students' learning satisfaction is more inclined to "teacher professional skills". Recognize the professionalism of community teachers to lead students to learn. 3.In terms of the learning outcomes of the post-class and post-class clubs, students' learning outcomes tend to "learn the professional knowledge of the course", showing that students recognize the professional knowledge of teachers.

Extracurricular Activities are considered essential educational activities. They enhance self-confidence and improve interpersonal relationship. Therefore, students’ perception of joining clubs influences student’s intention and learning effect and it also has a lot to do with implementation effect of the club activity policy. Hence, satisfaction of joining clubs has a great influence on club’s management. After the 1-9 curriculum is implemented, schools develop school-based curriculums based on local features and school’s needs to design local and distinctive club activities, such as handcraft club, picture book teaching club, Chinese music club, folk sports club, board game club, creation club, and sports clubs, in order to cultivate student’s multiple intelligence and transferable skills, develop school’s characteristics, increase school efficiency, show creative leaning contents and make schools more competitive. The study aims to explore the influence of student’s attitude towards joining clubs on satisfaction and devise clubs developing strategy to meet student’s needs and reach school’s goals. The results are listed as follows: 1. Students of different stages and grades have significant difference on participating attitude of extracurricular activity and club satisfaction. 2. In terms of participating attitude of extracurricular activity, students’ cognition has a positive impact on club satisfaction. 3. In terms of participating attitude of extracurricular activity, students’ affection has a positive impact on club satisfaction. 4. In terms of participating attitude of extracurricular activity, students’ behavior has a positive impact on club satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research has suggested that parent involvement with children at home and in school is positively related to academic performance. Children with little to no parent involvement are at a distinct academic disadvantage. In light of this disadvantage, the present study examined the possibility that participation in extracurricular activities might serve as an alternative option for the school success of these children. Past research has found a significant positive association between participation in extracurricular activities and performance in school. Thus, this study tested the hypothesis that the relationship between parent involvement and school performance depended upon participation in extracurricular activities. In other words, children with low parent involvement who participated in extracurricular activities were expected to academically outperform children with low parent involvement who did not participate in extracurricular activities. This study also contributed to the literature on parent involvement and extracurricular activity participation by testing the relationship of each to academic performance. Participants came from a longitudinal, nationally representative data set and included 8410 third grade children. Parent involvement was measured with a composite variable including home-based and school-based involvement items (derived from parent and teacher report). Extracurricular activity participation was measured by parent report. Each child's academic performance was measured by teacher report of academic competence in reading and math. This study controlled for sex, race/ethnicity, previous achievement and family structure. Contrary to what was expected, the interaction between parent involvement and extracurricular activities was not significant. Although the relation between extracurricular activity participation and academic performance was statistically significant, that of parent involvement and academic performance was not. Supplementary analyses revealed a positive, statistically significant association between school-based parent involvement and school performance; a negative, statistically significant relation was found between home-based parent involvement and school performance. Previous research supporting home-based parent involvement has utilized parent training provided by schools and teachers. Results of the current study, which did not involve formal parent training, may therefore suggest that children stand to gain more from home-based parent involvement when schools and teachers encourage, train, and support parents. In response to the encouraging finding with respect to extracurricular activity participation, future researchers may wish to delve further into the topic by examining the activities or characteristics of those activities that prove most beneficial for the academic performance of children.text

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the range of tactics used by the U.S. government in securing a favorable climate of opinion on the U.S. participation in the Olympics and discrediting the performance of the Soviet Union in the case of either victory or defeat. While it was easier to defend the U.S. sporting culture when U.S. athletes were winning athletic events around the world and dominating at the Olympics, the evolving nature of Soviet foreign policy in the aftermath of Stalin's death put pressure on the U.S. psychological warfare apparatus in the Olympic propaganda war. Thus, psychological warfare experts became even more involved in the activities of U.S. sports organizations, and began to press the boundaries of the state–private relationship.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores and contests a popular rival approach to “man’s inhumanity to man”—or, in this case, women—as applied to misogyny. On this view, dubbed “humanism,” misogyny would have its source in a failure to recognize women’s full humanity. But that misogyny takes women to be human, all-too-human, is suggested by some of the ways they are resented, blamed, and punished for social norm violations. Dehumanizing attitudes and treatment are explained (away) in terms of insults, defusing the psychic threat posed by certain women, and taking revenge on those who, in failing to provide dominant men with feminine-coded care, make him feel like less of a person. Finally, women’s socially unexpected behavior may lead to disgusted, startled responses, and ascribing to her an “uncanny,” robotic quality. But this, too, involves recognizing her successful participation in characteristically human activities, albeit in ways that effect gendered role reversals.

Paediatric rheumatic illnesses are among the most common chronic diseases in children and adolescents. These illnesses have important impacts on patient's body functions and structures, activities, and social participation. Knowledge about the effect and consequences of these diseases is necessary to formulate appropriate aims of treatments. The multidimensional outcomes of paediatric rheumatic diseases and their measurement are reviewed in this chapter. Outcome measurement is complex in patients who have growing needs and changing expectations as they develop, especially in chronic conditions that have a variable and often unpredictable course, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, and juvenile dermatomyositis. Considerable work has been conducted recently in an effort to better define and value global outcomes for these patients. New and reliable outcome measures have been developed to capture all aspects of the patient's life and integrate the patients' perspective. Existing outcome studies of paediatric rheumatic diseases have consistently shown, even though differing in their methodology, that patient outcomes have improved over the last decade. More patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic conditions survive into adulthood, and patients' long-term health, functional, and quality of life outcomes have improved. However, outcomes are still less than ideal. More than one-half of the patients with paediatric rheumatic diseases have ongoing active disease in early adulthood. Over one-third have evidence of disability and organ damage, with each underlying disease being associated with specific complications. Clearly, given the inherent potential for disability, morbidity, even mortality, young people with paediatric-onset rheumatic diseases require ongoing medical care into adulthood.

Full textAbstract:
Mega sporting events, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup, align perfectly with Qatar’s economic agenda, which uses athletics as part of its nation-building ambitions. This chapter journeys through several sports worlds in Doha, where low-wage migrant workers are bused to soccer stadiums for televised games, so that it appears that the stands are filled with ardent fans, and where Kenyan runners are granted temporary Qatari citizenship in order to compete as natives. The government has spent a fortune to erect state-of-the-art facilities, host international sporting events, and send athletes to compete globally. Sports are also a primary platform for modern traditionalism’s motif of female empowerment. Despite these efforts, however, rates of women’s athletic participation remain in the single digits. Interviews with players, coaches, and spectators reveal the social processes underlying these dynamics. Finally, the chapter demonstrates how sportswomen overcome barriers to athletic participation by dynamically engaging with modern traditionalism, aligning their sports-related activities with empowerment, Islam, and family values.

Full textAbstract:
Townsend argued that poverty is a key barrier to social participation as it limits people’s ability to participate in social activities and to maintain social relationships or networks. The results in this chapter support this argument finding that poverty acts as a barrier to social contact, particularly with friends; that it constrains participation in a range of social activities, and; that it shapes perceptions of support and satisfaction with relationships. People experiencing social and material deprivation have less social contact than they would like, and attribute this to cost or affordability problems, although other factors such as health or caring responsibilities can play a role too. That said, the importance of contact with family in particular emerges clearly in this analysis. For those groups where there are likely to be additional needs for support as a result of poverty, caring roles or health problems, contact with family tends to be significantly higher - likely reflecting the importance of family as both the central source of financial resources and of practical and emotional support. Households in these groups who lack access to such family networks may face particular disadvantages. All in all, the study finds that people experiencing poverty are often in effect excluded from widely accepted norms of social participation in the UK today.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses overall trends in children's time doing homework and study. It analyses differences in trends associated with parental education to explore the extent to which trends in time doing homework and study reflect socio-economic differences in educational outcomes. Despite increasing levels of school attainment, children from lower socio-economic backgrounds overall persistently obtain fewer qualifications from school than those from relatively more advantaged families. The chapter also studies trends in children's time reading and their participation in a wide range of cultural activities, such as going to galleries and museums or the cinema and sporting events. Middle-class parents typically possess relatively high levels of cultural capital, evidenced in their relatively higher qualification and participation in different cultural practices, which may in turn help sustain socio-economic differences in educational outcomes for children.

Full textAbstract:
Scotland and Norway differ markedly in their approach to right of access to the outdoors, as well as in the history and practice of outdoor recreation. Historically vast tracts of Scotland’s wilderness areas have been owned privately; by contrast Norway has 43 national parks. The proportion of people using the outdoors in either country differs hugely both in the definition of, and participation in, outdoor sporting activities; a contrast is drawn between childrens’ experience of the outdoors in both countries and the thinking behind the differing levels of engagement. Comparisons are made between outdoor activity associations enabling access to the outdoors, and the chapter also looks at notions of rural life, accessibility, affordability, and the relative levels of confidence the populace in each country has in their access rights, touching upon cabin culture and the use of allotments. Idealised notions of rural life, health, sporting activity and outdoor pursuits are enshrined in the national identity of Norwegians – not so in Scotland. The conclusion is that Scots are uncertain of their rights in relation to the land, have less access to and ownership of land than the average Norwegian, and this is reflected in their lifestyle choices.

In the last thirty years, participation factors have particularly attracted the interest of Adult Education researchers, and it could be said that this is probably one of the most discussed topics in this field. Hence, “participation theories” that relate organized educational activities can give a logical explanation for the complexity and multifactor nature of adult leading to educational practices. In these circumstances, the chapter presents recent findings of a qualitative research effort, conducted in the virtual world of Second Life (SL). This premise is recapitulated in an attempt to illuminate the theme of trainee users’ broad participation in collaborative e-learning activities based on the interpretive framework of “adults’ participation theories” that can interpret the motivational factors, recommended from McGivney (1993). The value-added effect helps one to understand the mobilization of different adults’ perspectives and thoroughly enunciate the key factors that influence the decision to participate in teamwork activities.

Full textAbstract:
Regular physical activity at moderate to intense intensity provides substantial health benefits. Therefore individuals should be encouraged to increase their level of physical activity. However, acute bouts of moderate to vigorous exercise may induce cardiovascular (CV) complications, such as malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death/arrest (SCD/SCA), in adults and seniors, mainly due to known or occult cardiovascular disease. The rationale for cardiovascular evaluation and screening is to minimize these dangerous cardiac complications and to ensure safe participation in competitive or leisure-time sports. In individuals engaged in moderate to intense leisure-time physical activities or sporting activities, cardiovascular evaluation should be based on theidentification and severity of the underlying cardiovascular disease. The extent of the evaluation should depend on the intended level of physical activity, the habitual level of exercise and the individual risk profile. Several recommendations for screening, evaluation, and eligibility, given by international societies in Europe and the USA, are discussed. For adult/senior competitive athletes, screening should consist of, at least, personal and familial history (including symptoms), clinical examination, resting ECG, and graded maximal exercise testing, with the last of these mainly in subjects with increased CV risk. Depending on the underlying disease or risk, additional examinations may be required.

Utilizing the combined data with the state level of West’s e-Government measures (2008) and the individual level of the 2008 American Election Study, this study finds a strong link between state sponsored efforts at e-Government and traditional forms of the public’s political participation. State sponsored digital services and outreach increase general political participation more than campaign activities, and the implementation of e-democracy has a greater effect on mobilization than e-service. The results imply that e-government has potential to ameliorate political exclusion by letting the politically disadvantaged access a higher quality of information with an equalized accessibility through state governments’ electronic systems.

The aim of this study is the analysis of the effect that the entrepreneurship activities have in the development of an entrepreneurial profile of the students of a secondary level and their future entrepreneurial intentions. To empirically test the formulated hypothesis, a questionnaire was developed. By the application of methods of factorial analysis and a logistic regression model, it was concluded that variables like the incentive given by school agents, the participation of students in extracurricular activities and the desire to continue studying, influenced the entrepreneurial intentions of the students. Concerning the entrepreneurial profile, it was concluded that the students who have higher capacity of creation and concretization of entrepreneurial projects and a winning will, have a higher propensity to create their own business. This research analysed the impact of entrepreneurship activities on the development of the secondary school students' entrepreneurial profile, and understand whether these same activities influence their future intentions.

Full textAbstract:
Regular vigorous sporting activities are known to stimulate blood fibrinolytic capacity estimated by the venous occlution test, and have been reported to have a prophylactic effect against the development of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. In the present study, the influence of regular physical exercise on fibrinolysis was studied in healthy individuals and in patients after myocardial infarction taking part in a rehabilitation sports program. The activation of fibrinolysis after bicycle ergometry was investigated in 4 groups of subjects. Group A: 18 healthy male competitive athlets (23 ± 3.5 years of age, mean ± S.D.), Group B: 18 healthy male volunteers (25.7 ± 2.7 years) not engaged in any sporting activities, Group C: 17 healthy male volunteers (50.5 ± 7.7 years) regularly practicing sports, and Group D: 18 male patients after myocardial infarction (54.2 ± 7.9 years). Group A (13.9 ± 2.6 AU/ml, mean ± S.D.) and Group C (15.2 ± 2.9 AU/ml) revealed lower (p-4. 0.05) plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor capacities (PAI-cap) than Group B (18.5 ± 5.5 AU/ml) and Ml-patients (20.7 ± 5.5 AU/ml). All groups showed a significant increase in plasma tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) antigen levels during exercise (Group A: 8.4 ± 6.7 ng/ml; Group B: 7.1 ± 6.2 ng/ml; Group C: 4.9 ± 3.0 ng/ml; and Group D: 3.0 ± 2.9 nl). After exercise significantly higher tPA activities were measured in persons with low PAI-cap at rest (Group A: 5.5 ± 6.4 IU/ml; Group C: 2.9 ± 3.3 IU/ml), whereas Group B (1.1 ± 3.0 IU/ml) and Group D (0.2 ± 0.7 IU/ml) showed only weak activities. Fibrinogen and fibrin split products (D-dimer) levels did not change during exercise testing. The present study indicates that 1. regular vigorous physical exercise enhances blood fibrinolytic activity by reducing blood PAI-cap in healthy individuals, 2. rehabilitation sport is not capable of reducing blood PAI-cap in Ml-patients, and 3. the increased fibrinolytic capacity after physical exercise does not induce systemic fibrinolytic effects.

Full textAbstract:
One of the critical aspects of athletes’ fitness for effective competitive performance is the development of special cognitive qualities, in particular attention deficits. The development and enhancement of attention is important for increasing the effectiveness of sporting activities, and above all as a tool for controlling what happens when playing sports. However, original techniques of attention improvement in children are, to date, insufficient. The age of 8-10 is known to be a sensitive period for attention development. In our opinion, these are all strong arguments for developing a comprehensive methodology for developing young badminton players’ attention. During the pedagogical experiment, standard tests were used: the application of Gorbov’s tables, ‘Pyramid-tunnel’, the application of a Correction table; pedagogical observation and mathematical processing of the results using Microsoft Office Excel 2007. The credibility of disparities was calculated against Student’s criteria at significance level р . 0.05. The main constituents of attention for being successful in badminton are the scope, capability for shifting and keeping focus. The proposed integrated technique of attention improvement in young badminton players at the age of 8-10 caused a substantial improvement of sports achievements in the test group compared to the reference group. This shows that our methodology has a positive trend in the development of attention functions and is effective for young athletes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A core ethos of the engineering discipline is to tackle large, complex problems of central importance to society utilizing a range of technical knowledge and skills. One major barrier to this goal is the lack of diversity in the discipline, leading to a shortage of the talent pool, reduced capacity for innovation, and it can negatively impact the educational experience of engineering students. To respond to this charge, the Broadening Participation Committee (BPart) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering’s Design Engineering Division (ASME DED) has conducted a number of activities aimed at fostering a diverse professional community and addressing the needs of people typically under-represented within engineering. This includes professional development workshops, networking sessions, travel funds available for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, and micro-grants available for parents with young children. This paper discusses the activities provided by the BPart Committee since 2013, as well as the outcomes and additional initiatives that occurred as a result of the BPart Activities. Examples of such activities include seven professional development workshops, three workshop panels, and seven networking receptions. In the workshop participant feedback, we see some effect when there is a female presenter over a male presenter, but this effect appears to be limited. A discussion on future activities of BPart is presented in order to continue to grow and foster this community.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the effect of a product dissection activity on design novelty in engineering design. Novelty is an important aspect of design ideation effectiveness. Therefore, identifying the factors that influence novelty will expand the understanding of the design process, as well as improve design pedagogy. Previous studies have found that participation in product dissection activities positively impacted creativity, but did not study creativity in terms of novelty, making it unclear if product dissection activities will impact the novelty of generated designs. Furthermore, although product dissection has been studied in team environments, individual factors such as the personality traits of the team members was not explored for their effect on the exposure to the dissection activity, and hence the effect on the novelty of generated designs. Our empirical experimentation showed that extraverted participants had a higher level of exposure to the body design dissection activity and developed more novel ideas than those who were not extraverts. These results contribute to our understanding on how team-based dissection activities influence the novelty of generated designs in an engineering design setting.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores students’ misconceptions with the particulate concept of matter in gaseous state. Then, based on promoting students’ learning and understanding from a constructivist perspective, the effectiveness of instructional activities by presenting a demonstration with computer simulation was investigated. Students were expected to benefit from computer monitored instruction in a number of ways: by becoming more interested in physical phenomena and therefore more motivated; by acquiring a concrete example of a abstract concept that will aid them in reasoning; and by being able to evaluate their predictions of a future physical event using their current conceptual framework and the new concept being presented in the teaching activity. A systematic study of students’ ideas on particulate concepts was carried out first with the participation of 296 subjects in Grade 5-8 (age 11-12 through 14-15) in Taiwan. An open-ended questionnaire and picture drawing question was administered to the subjects. The responses were categorized according to the level of sophistication of the answer and the drawing of the picture. The instruments used both in the pretest and posttest were designed in a format of a two-tier test. Teaching is conducted by a computer demonstration that was specifically designed from implications regarding students’ cognitive conflict. The research findings indicated that students had some misconceptions about the gaseous particles concerning the size, weight, motion and kinetic distribution in space. After teaching, there was a comparison of students’ learning outcomes between the pretest and posttest. A significant difference statistically revealed that teaching activity in this research by the computer-simulated demonstration could obviously benefit students’ conceptual change in learning of particulate theory.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to investigate the perception of university students about people with disabilities. Fifty-six first-year students of the occupational therapy degree participated in the study, during the 2017-2018 academic year. The effect caused by the use of different strategies with the aim of achieving a positive perception of persons with disabilities is collected, after several information, training, contact and reflection sessions. The results suggest that first-year students appreciate having contact with people with whom they will be able to apply their knowledge as professionals. They are surprised by the autonomy, optimism, perseverance and participation of people with disabilities. It has served them mainly to understand the profession, to value the therapeutic relationship and to see support products. The most chosen weakness to change, after carrying out the designed activities is patience. Disability is still a distant and unknown world for first year students, however, it is crucial to achieve a positive perception through strategies throughout the career, since in the near future they will work with these people from the occupation in contributing to their health, welfare and participation in life.

The article considers a set of indicators characterising motor activity in the adult population, as the definition of motor activity indicators of physical fitness and sport (MA) is considered in regulatory documents with different values. The present study examined the population distribution of average daily physical activity during the year, the limits of variability in quantitative measures of weekly physical activity, and preferred forms of exercise among the 1855 year old population of the Russian Federation (40,145 persons, including 14,677 men and 25,468 women) using the ONETRAK ecosystem and timekeeping of the week’s motor activity in adults (302 persons, 102 of them are males, and 200 are females). The population distribution of average daily physical activity during the year was found to be less than 4,000 steps per day for 18-27 year olds, and up to 4,475 steps per day for 28-55 year olds, an indication of low mobility. The amount of time spent on physical activity for the observation during the observed period characterises the physical activity boundaries of the economically active population within 30 min ± 10.5. The distribution of the volume of YES responses, expressed by the number of sessions during the week, shows a frequency of sessions in the range of 1-2 sessions (65.7%), 3 or more sessions are practiced by 26.3% of the respondents. Workout sessions take place in a freestyle format. Thus, our data confirms a low level of physical activity in the population aged 18 to 55. The identified physical activity indicators do not contribute to the cumulative effect of physical activity and the manifestation of the health-improving effect of physical education and sport activities.

Full textAbstract:
Public involvement in conservation and management of coastal areas is important especially in those countries, such as Japan, where fishermen are decreasing. Both local residents living adjacent to the ocean and urban residents could contribute to sustainable management of coastal areas through various activities. In order to effectively foster public participation in sustainable management of coastal areas, factors that affect people’s behavioral intentions for coastal conservation need to be identified. We conducted studies to understand cognitive factors affecting residents’ 1) willingness to invest in time and efforts to make a coastal area a better place, and 2) willingness to make financial sacrifices for the sake of the coastal area. Questionnaire survey was distributed around Hinase Bay (western part of Japan). Total of 2,851 responses were collected. Multiple regression analysis revealed that residents’ willingness to know more about wildlife of the coastal area had the strongest effect on their behavioral intentions for conservation of the coastal area. Our findings followed the findings of the previous study conducted in northern part of Japan and revealed that residents living in different regions showed similar cognitive mechanism regarding their intentions for conserving coastal areas. Suggestions for fostering public participation in coastal conservation included promoting wildlife and biodiversity of coastal ecosystems to residents. These outreach programs could increase residents’ interests and curiosity toward wildlife which would consequently raise their willingness to contribute to coastal conservation.
