Abstract

Dietary supplement consumption had already become well known among athletes especially those who were involved in team sports to enhance performances, health benefits, and nutritional strategies. This study aimed to determine the difference in dietary supplement consumption between the female university and national team sports athletes in Malaysia. The Dietary Supplement Questionnaire was used to compare the participants’ dietary supplements usage and it was distributed online via a Google Form. Results from this study showed there was no significant difference in the usage of individual vitamins/minerals. However, based on frequency, the usage of vitamin C was the most popular among these groups. Next, there was a significant difference in the usage of protein powder (t = -2.435, df = 61, p <0.018) and, creatine (t = -2.192, df = 61, p <0.032) between the female university and national athletes. After that, there was a significant difference in usage of other supplements and sports aid which was fish oil/omega 3 (t = -1.466, df = 61, p < 0.032). The national athletes showed higher consumption of dietary supplements compared to the university athletes due to their higher level of competition, energy requirement, and long-time of training.

Abstract

Background: The Square Stepping Exercise (SSE) is an exercise training program integrating physical exercise and cognitive components. The potential of SSE in deferring cognitive decline in older adults is encouraging. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made it harder for older adults worldwide to exercise together in person. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of a home-based online SSE trial on cognitive and social functions in sedentary older adults. Methods: A sample of 24 older adults (2 men, 22 women) took part in the current study. Seven participants (2 men, 5 women) completed home-based online SSE sessions under tighter safety regulations, whereas other 17 women attended SSE sessions in person when group exercise with more than 5 people were permitted. To investigate the effects of the online SSE on cognitive and social functions compared to the in-person SSE, 2 times (pre vs. post) × 2 groups (online vs. in-person) mixed ANOVAs were conducted with classic and robust statistical methods on the scores of the Trail Making Test (TMT), the subscale scores of the Physical Activity Group Environment Questionnaire, and the score of the Subjective Vitality Scale. Results: The interaction between time and groups was significant on the TMT-B to TMT-A (B/A) ratio score (p = .049) and the subscale scores of Individuals Attractions to the Group‒Task (p = .034) and ‒Social (p = .037). The B/A ratio score is an indicator of executive control function. The online SSE group’s ratio score slightly decreased over the sessions, whereas the ratio score significantly increased in the in-person group. As for group cohesion, participants’ involvements with the group task and social interaction with their group were enhanced in the online SSE group over the sessions, compared to the in-person SSE group. Conclusions: In this study, SSE was carried out online for a short-term and found to be successful to enhance executive function and group cohesion in sedentary older adults. Considering the coronavirus pandemic circumstances, it is valuable to examine the long-term effects of the online SSE in older adults in future research.

Abstract

Inclusive physical education for students with disability evolved in line with ethical requirements and stakeholder morality. While inclusive physical education is embraced at a conceptual level and desired at the classroom level, the complexity of successful implementation often remains overlooked in policy and curriculum guidelines. The writing in this study uses a literature study by utilizing the scientific journal's index in Scopus from 1992 to 2022 by involving a total of 298 documents. The theme of last years was about developing media with a subject focus on prospective teachers and students of physical education as research subjects. Currently, the research theme of students with disability in physical education is studying with a focus on developing awareness toward disabilities in physical education. In future research, physical educators conceptually embraced inclusive physical education with a creative outlook for collaboration, knowledge, and support. Cooperative and supportive efforts between physical educators, students with disability, parents, and teacher aides are valued in creating physical education environments that effectively respond to learner diversity. While access to practical teaching guidance remains scarce, this study may contribute to physical educator practice.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the prevalence of children and adolescents in meeting The Singapore Integrated 24-Hour Activity Guidelines for Children and Adolescents and whether the number of guidelines met was associated to Quality of Life (QoL). Parents of youths aged 7 to 18 years completed an online questionnaire consisting of the Singaporean Children Lifestyle Questionnaire and the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL™) 4.0 Inventory. Parents reported on the physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), recreational screen time (ST), sleep, dietary habits, as well as the QoL of their children. Their responses were benchmarked against the Singapore Integrated 24-Hour Activity Guidelines. Survey results of 181 youths showed that more than 38% of children and adolescents did not meet any of four guidelines relating to PA, recreational ST, sleep, and diet. Daily moderate-to-vigorous PA (31.1 vs. 17.1 min) and ST (3.5 vs. 2.5 h) of adolescents were significantly higher than that of children (p <.05) while adolescent sleep was significantly lower than that of children (7.3 vs 8.5 h, p < .05). QoL scores were higher when more guidelines were met but the association was not statistically significant (p = .11). Ameliorative programmes to help more youths cultivate positive lifestyle habits are recommended.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the effects of visual training on the reaction time among badminton athletes using two reaction time tests, namely, the Whole-Body Reaction Time (WBRT) and the Finger Reaction Time (FRT). This quasi-experimental study involves 30 badminton athletes (Male = 30, Female = 30). The study involved two groups [treatment group = 30, control group = 30]. The descriptive analysis undertaken shows that the level of reaction time of treatment group for the pre-WBRT test is (M = 0.32, SD = 0.047) and pre-FRT test is (M = 0.48, SD = 0.068). For group control, the pre-WBRT test is (M = 0.33, SD = 0.030) and the pre-FRT test is (M = 0.49, SD = 0.065). On the other hand, the reaction time of treatment group for the post-WBRT test is (M = 0.28, SD = 0.037) and post-FRT test is (M = 0.41, SD = 0.054). Meanwhile, for control group, the post-WBRT test is (M = 0.32, SD = 0.037) and post-FRT test is (M = 0.45, SD = 0.061). Furthermore, for treatment group, there is a significant difference between the pre- and post-WBRT test [t (29) = 8.813, p = .000] and the FRT test [t (29) = 10.329, p = .000]. As for control group, there is also a significant difference between the pre- and post-WBRT test [t (29) = 3.786, p = .001] and the FRT test [t (29) = 4.935, p = .000]. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference between both the two pre-WBRT test group [t (58) = 1.667, p = .101] and the FRT test group [t (58) = 0.546, p = .587]. However, there is a significant difference for both the post-WBRT test group [t (58) = 4.676, p = .000] and the FRT test group [t (58) = 3.056, p = .003]. Overall, this study can help coaches in designing effective training programs which can help to enhance the reaction time level of badminton athletes.
