Abstract

Innovative exercise is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. The availability of various resources has made it easier for people to find activities that they enjoy and that meet their fitness goals. In addition to traditional exercises like running, weightlifting, and yoga, there are also new, exciting forms of exercise such as virtual reality fitness, aerial yoga, and trampoline workout classes. Technology has also played a major role in making exercise more accessible and convenient. For example, there are fitness apps that allow users to track their progress, set goals, and participate in virtual workout classes from the comfort of their own homes. Wearable fitness devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, make it easy to monitor physical activity and track progress in real-time. In addition to these technological advancements, there is also an increased focus on making fitness facilities more inclusive and accessible to all. This includes the incorporation of accessible equipment, sensory-friendly environments, and adaptive fitness programs for individuals with disabilities. Overall, the trend towards innovative exercise is not only providing people with new and exciting ways to stay active, but it is also helping to address the challenges posed by the pandemic and other emerging health threats. By continuing to evolve and adapt to changing circumstances, the fitness industry is playing an important role in promoting health and wellness for people around the world.

Abstract

Previous studies have emphasized the potential of using Physical Education (PE) as a platform to teach values. However, few teachers are deliberate in their attempts to teach values through PE as many may not have the teaching strategies to achieve the affective learning outcomes. What is unknown currently is the starting point of newly trained PE teachers, specifically in Singapore’s context, Beginning Physical Education Teachers (BPETs), on their preparedness to teach in the affective learning domain. The purpose of the study is to listen to the “lived experiences” of BPETs through interviews on their strategies and challenges to incorporate the teaching of values in their classroom. Three BPETs (2M, 1F) with no more than 3 years of teaching experience from primary and secondary schools were invited to participate in the study. Individual interviews were conducted and transcribed verbatim. The transcript was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings highlighted three common themes: 1. PE being a platform to see values in action; 2. Discussion on values and what it means in students’ lives; and 3. Reflection on their BPET journey. The findings show that BPETs believe that values can be taught through PE, and they would attempt to teach values in explicit or implicit ways. However, some teachers suggested specific courses that could equip them with the strategies to teach values specifically in a PE setting. Future studies can consider interviewing senior PE teachers on their experiences and strategies teaching values through PE.

Abstract

In order to understand how a student's way of life may affect their academic performance and conduct when studying online, this study looks at the relationship between the two. This study used quantitative correlational research to determine the respondents' academic achievement and way of life during COVID-19. The research participants in this study were chosen via stratified sampling, and standardized questionnaires were made available via a Google form. Since the p-values are more significant than the 0.05 level, the results show no correlation between the respondents' way of life and academic performance. This indicates that the student's way of life has little bearing on how well they succeed academically. When the students are classified according to their personality type profiles, there is a noticeable variation in their way of life. This implies that the student’s way of life varies depending on their personality types.

Abstract

Background: Virtual simulation experiments, as a new teaching method and approach, have gradually been introduced into higher education and received recognition from a large number of education professionals. Considering the successful application of virtual simulation experiments in other disciplines, this study aims to employ virtual simulation technology to construct a virtual simulation experiment for basketball projects, with the goal of promoting the application of virtual simulation technology in sports and health education. Methods: The main research methods employed in this study include expert interviews, questionnaire surveys, and software development approaches. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 230 students from six universities, and interviews were conducted with 15 relevant individuals. The demands and requirements of university teachers and students regarding virtual simulation experiments for basketball projects were summarized and refined. The experiment was developed using 3D Studio MAX and Maya as modeling tools. Finally, all aspects of this research were completed through functional validation and application effectiveness evaluation. Results: In the survey stage of needs assessment, a total of 230 questionnaires were collected from six universities. Among them, 63.63% of students claimed to have a relatively good understanding of virtual simulation experiments, 78% of students considered virtual simulation experiments to be of significant importance in teaching, and 84.71% of students regarded this teaching method as relatively relaxed. The development process involved the development of six modules, and after the completion of each module, Unity 3 was used for integration, resulting in the completion of the experiment. Subsequently, functional validation of the virtual simulation was conducted, achieving a 100% pass rate in the testing of various scenarios. An effectiveness evaluation questionnaire was utilized, and the scores from the six dimensions and 20 indicators ranged from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 5, indicating that university students generally recognized and were satisfied with various aspects of virtual simulation experiments. Conclusion: The construction and application of virtual simulation experiments in China are still in the initial stages, primarily focusing on theoretical research. The virtual simulation experiments were categorized into six sections: basic theoretical learning, technical and tactical application, physical fitness, presentation and competition, rules and refereeing, and observation and evaluation. Various test scenarios were established to assess the interface, performance, and functionality, and both functional validation and application effectiveness evaluation questionnaires yielded positive results. These findings strongly support the assertion that the virtual simulation experiment constructed in this study can serve as an effective supplementary tool for basketball teaching in universities.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the level of Self-Efficacy and Intrinsic Motivation among woodball players in Malaysia. This study also determined the difference between Self-Efficacy and Intrinsic Motivation, investigated relationship between Self-Efficacy and Intrinsic Motivation and looked at the influence of Self-Efficacy on Motivation among woodball players in Malaysia according to gender. The study sample consisted of 177 woodball players in Malaysia (male=106, female=71) who participated in the Penang Open Woodball Championship 2023 (National Woodball Circuit 1) were randomly selected. Instrument used to measure Self-Efficacy is Athlete Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) while Intrinsic Motivation uses the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-28) through the distribution of questionnaires. Research analysis involves descriptive and inferential statistics using t-test, and linear regression using SPSS software. Results of the study show that there is no significant difference between male and female players regarding Self-Efficacy and Intrinsic Motivation. Self-Efficacy does not have a positive relationship with Intrinsic Motivation among male woodball players in Malaysia. For female players, the study shows that there are two dimensions namely Professional Thinking Efficacy (r=-2.152, p<0.05) and Personality Efficacy dimension (r=3.235, p<0.05) have a significant relationship while the other two dimensions do not have a positive relationship with Motivation Intrinsic. Overall, this study shows that all the dimensions found in Intrinsic Motivation namely To Know, To Accomplish and To Stimulating Experience are factors that affect Self-Efficacy among Malaysian woodball players. The results of this study provide information to the woodball sports development department to increase the Self-Efficacy and Intrinsic Motivation of woodball players.

Abstract

It is a common expectation that bookworm students can perform well and contribute more towards enhancement in academic performance instead of physically active student or best known as sport students. Thus, this study seeks to measure the level of physical activity and explore academic achievement, as well as to examine if there is a relationship between physically active students and academic achievement among student-athletes in a public secondary school in Kedah. Survey method was employed using a set of questionnaires. Purposive sampling method was used to gather information from 22 selected students-athletes involving 8 classes from various sports backgrounds. Results indicated that the associations of physical activity and fitness with cognitive function are relatively few but generally showed a positive association between physical activity and cognitive function of students.

Abstract

There are limited data on how the lifestyle behaviours of school-aged children in Singapore fare against the Singapore Integrated 24-hr Activity Guidelines. One hundred and thirty-eight children ages 9 to 13 years self-reported their recreational screen time, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), night-time sleep duration, and health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in a survey package. Their lifestyle behaviours were then benchmarked against the Singapore Integrated 24-hr Activity Guidelines recommendations, specifically, (i) at least 1 hr/day of MVPA, (ii) no more than 2 hr/day of recreational screen time, and 7-9 hr/day of sleep. Association between the number of guideline recommendations met and HRQoL z-scores were explored. Of the 138 children, 6.5% met all three guideline recommendations while 29.0% did not meet any guideline recommendations. MVPA guideline recommendation was least adhered to followed by recreational screen time and sleep. The number of guideline recommendations met was significantly associated with children’s HRQoL, with an increase of 0.289 in HRQoL z-score (5.9%) for every additional guideline met. The 24-hr activity behaviours of Singapore children was sub-optimal in which the proportion of children who did not meet any guideline recommendations is higher than those who met all guideline recommendations. Nonetheless, larger cohort studies are needed to establish its prevalence. Greater dissemination of the guidelines and ameliorative programs targeted at different groups of children should be made to help support children in adopting healthy lifestyle habits.
