Abstract:
Motor disorders often accompany autism spectrum disorder (ASD), although they are not included in its diagnostic criteria. Slower motor development is evident in early childhood in this population, making early motor skills intervention advisable. As educational games and modern technology can represent new forms of treatment, this study evaluated four Kinect-based visuo-motor games called Fruits that were specially designed for this research. We sought to test whether children with ASD would show behavior changes during their game play and whether any effects would generalize to another game called Rackets. The study included 10 elementary school children with ASD, aged 9-13 years, who were divided into (a) an experimental group ( n = 5) who, in addition to standard treatment, played Fruits once a week for a 5-week period and Rackets both before and after the 5-week period and (b) a control group ( n = 5) who received only standard treatment during this period and also played Rackets before and after it. We found significant improvements in gross motor skills and successful generalization of acquired skills among children in the experimental group relative to the control group. The experimental group also showed an increase in positive emotions and a decrease in loss of attention while playing the games. These preliminary findings indicate a motor skill benefit for children with ASD who play Kinect-based educational games, but further research is needed to replicate and expand these findings with larger participant samples.

Abstract:
AbstractSports, one of the symbols of the global human culture and a unit of peaceful society, excite both competitors and audiences. During the game and even practice, athletes concentrate to choose not only a comfortable design but also high-performing materials of their shoes, rackets, uniforms, etc. Under the high demand of athletes, sports materials are evolving with the support of new chemical reactions and coordination chemistry. Here, we exhibit the role of elements in sports. The International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT) will bring chemistry into the future as The Olympic & Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.

Abstract:
Understanding of racket parameters is important for players to gain the best racket which could improve their games performances. This present study was aimed to investigate the effect of string tension toward performance of coefficient of restitution (COR) by neglecting the effect of racket frame stiffness. A finite element simulation of collision between ball and string-bed was performed in Abaqus explicit. The ball was dropped onto the centre of mass (CM) of the string-bed area with different values of string tension. From the results, the increasing values of string tension lead to increase values of COR. This finding will contribute to the enlargement of sweet spot in badminton racket as well as improving the player performances.

Abstract:
INTRODUÇÃO: Nesse artigo expomos o desenvolvimento de uma experiência vinculada ao tênis no curso de licenciatura em educação física. OBJETIVO: O objetivo foi, com base nos pressupostos da pedagogia do esporte, propor uma série de jogos partindo do voleibol, esporte conhecido, para o tênis. Em segundo lugar, promover a problematização da “elitização” da modalidade e esboçar possibilidades para confeccionar bolas e raquetes para o jogo do tênis. MÉTODOS: Esse relato de experiência foi desenvolvido na disciplina de pedagogia do esporte do curso de licenciatura em educação física, com alunos/as do 6° semestre. Era uma turma de 26 alunos, que reunia diferentes níveis de habilidades e vivências esportivas, todos tinham algum contato com o esporte, mas nenhum com tênis. Foram realizadas 4 aulas, num total de 16 horas. Ao final da experiência, realizamos entrevista semiestruturada com 6 alunos/as que participaram das aulas e da confecção e teste dos materiais. RESULTADOS: Os alunos/as demonstraram um envolvimento e mobilização com a proposta de série de jogos de uma prática conhecida, voleibol, para uma menos conhecida, o tênis. Desenvolveram suas propostas de confecção de materiais com criatividade e nos seus relatos afirmaram ser uma possibilidade muito factível de se promover esse tipo de aula nas escolas, ainda que a ausência dos materiais oficiais possa ser sentida. Esse fator, ao mesmo tempo em que promoveu um certo desconforto, por jogar sem os “materiais oficiais”, também permitiu problematizar a ideia de que a elitização é inescapável à prática do tênis. CONCLUSÃO: Essas possibilidades, inseridas no curso de formação, permitiram ao licenciando vislumbrar possibilidades de atuação com a modalidade na prática pedagógica cotidiana na escola. ABSTRACT. Tennis inclusion in the training of physical education teachers: teaching experiences and reconstruction in the degree course. BACKGOUND: In this article we expose the development of an experience linked to tennis in the physical education undergraduate school. OBJECTIVE: Based on the assumptions of sport pedagogy, we aimed to offer a series of games starting from volleyball, a well-known sport, for tennis. Second, to promote the problematization of the “elitization” of the sport and to outline possibilities for making balls and rackets for the game of tennis. METHODS: This experience report was developed in the sport pedagogy discipline of the physical education degree course, with 6th semester students. It was a group that brought together different levels of skills and sports experiences, everyone had experiences with sports, but with few modalities. Four classes were held, for a total of 16 hours, between practical and theoretical activities. At the end of the experiment, we conducted a semi-structured interview with 6 students who participated in the classes and the making and testing of the materials. RESULTS: The students showed involvement and mobilization with the offered content (proposed series of games from a known practice, volleyball, to a lesser known one, tennis). They developed their proposals for making materials with creativity and in their reports they said it was a very feasible possibility of promoting this type of class in schools, even though the absence of official materials can be felt. CONCLUSION: These possibilities, inserted in the training course, allow the undergraduate student to glimpse possibilities of action with the modality in the daily pedagogical practice at school.

Abstract:
To assess ball performance for research and development purposes requires greater understanding of the impact conditions a tennis ball experiences in professional tournament play. Ball tracking information taken from three consecutive years of an ATP 250 tour event played on hard court was analysed. The frequency of first serves, second serves, racket impacts and surface impacts was assessed per game and extrapolated to show how many impacts a single ball is subjected to. Where applicable the pre- and post-impact velocities and angles were found, and the distribution of each was analysed. In total, data from 65 matches comprising 1505 games were analysed. On average, each game contained 70.26 (±16.23) impacts, of which 9.23%, 3.16%, 37.78% and 49.83% were first serves, second serves, racket impacts and surface impacts, respectively. As a result, assuming all balls in play are used evenly, a single ball is expected to be subjected to 105 (±24) impacts over the course of the nine games that it is in play. The results of the investigation could be used to design a wear protocol capable of artificially wearing tennis balls in a way that is representative of professional play.

Abstract:
A major element in expert sports performance, particularly racket-and-ball games, is excellent anticipatory skill. A prestudy combined the temporal and spatial occlusion paradigms to ascertain which key stimuli badminton players use for anticipating the direction of overhead shots. The main study then evaluated a program for training anticipatory skills; 200 video clips were employed to orient attention toward these key stimuli. Participants were 63 badminton novices, 20 national league players, and 21 local league players. A transparent red patch (exogenous orienting) was used to orient attention toward the trunk up to 160 ms before racket-shuttle contact; the arm, from 160 ms to 80 ms before contact; and the racket, from 80 ms before to actual contact. Results showed that badminton novices who trained with this program significantly improved their anticipatory skill between post- and retention test compared with controls. Whereas local league players improved from pre- to posttest, training had no effect on expert national league players. It is concluded that using red transparent patches to highlight the most informative cues in perceptual training programs is a promising way to improve anticipatory skill.

Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to (a) describe the racket-arm kinematics and kinetics of the soft-tennis smash during match rallies, and (b) assess the characteristics of this smash vs. the laboratory-simulated smash of our previous study. In the current study we recorded soft-tennis smash motions during match play of the 3rd East Asian Games. Racket-arm anatomical joint angular velocity and anatomical joint torque were calculated from 3-D coordinate data of 13 collected motions obtained using the direct linear transformation procedure. The results showed that most of the maximum values of the anatomical joint torques were qualitatively smaller than those of the tennis serve. Peak elbow extension, shoulder internal rotation, and elbow varus torques in match play were significantly greater than values reported for laboratory-simulated conditions. The greater forward swing torques did not result in significantly different racket head velocity, possibly because there was a significantly shorter forward swing phase in match conditions. In particular, a clear peak of the elbow extension torque during the forward swing phase was the most characteristic pattern in the smashes under match conditions, for it was 160% greater than laboratory-simulated conditions. These results supported our hypothesis that racket-arm kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the smash under match conditions differ from those under laboratory-simulated conditions. Possible explanations include the time-pressure conditions of the competitive situation in a match, and the Hawthorne effect (Hudson et al., 1986), both of which alter performance between match conditions and laboratory-simulated conditions.

Abstract:
Bootstrap is a computer-programming curriculum that teaches students to program video games using Racket, a functional programming language based on algebraic syntax. This study investigated the relationship between learning to program video games from a Bootstrap course and the resulting effect on students' understanding of algebra. Courses in three different schools, lasting about six weeks each, were studied. Control and treatment groups were given a pre and post algebra assessment. A qualitative component consisting of observations and interviews was also used to further triangulate findings. Statistical analysis revealed that students who completed the Bootstrap course gained a significantly better understanding of variables and a suggestive improvement in understanding functions. In the assessments, students failed to demonstrate a transfer of the advanced concepts of function composition and piecewise functions from programming to algebraic notation. Interviews with students demonstrated that with coaching, students were able to relate functions written in Racket to functions written in algebraic notation, but were not yet able to transfer their experience of function composition from programming to algebra.

Abstract:
Abstract Albuquerque's victory in Malacca gave Portugal a major foothold in the Far Eastern pepper trade, but the Portuguese were never able to fully dominate it. The chapter summarizes the struggles of Portugal's building of its empire. It also discusses the cartaz system, where the Portuguese claimed suzerainty over the Indian Ocean and no one else was allowed to sail unless they purchased a safe conduct pass. The cartaz obliged Asian ships to call at a Portuguese-controlled port and pay customs duties before proceeding on their voyage. Ships without this document were considered fair game and their goods could be confiscated. It was, pure and simple, a protection racket. The cartaz system, plus customs duties and outright piracy, provided most of the funds defraying the costs of the Portuguese navy and its garrisons. The chapter also outlines the importance of Indian cotton in the Spice Trade and the routes of spices into Europe. Further, the chapter provides highlights of the Portuguese profits on spices. Portuguese imports of pepper held strong over most the sixteenth century. The total weight of the spice cargoes averaged 40,000 to 50,000 quintals (1 quintal = 130 pounds or 59 kilograms) annually in the first half of the century and 60,000 to 70,000 quintals later on. Records have been left of one cargo in 1518 that totalled almost 5 million pounds (2.27 million kilograms), of which 4.7 million pounds (2.13 million kilograms) was pepper, 12,000 pounds (5443 kilograms) cloves, 3000 pounds (1360 kilograms) cinnamon and 2000 pounds (907 kilograms) mace (Krondl, 2007). Most of the pepper and other spices were purchased in Malabar on the open market. Portuguese profits on the pepper trade could run as high as 500%. Lastly, the chapter briefly discusses how other European countries looked for alternative routes to the spices.
