The purpose of the study was the comparative analysis of the academic programs for development of specific competencies in the specialized higher education.</p> <p><em>Material and Methods. </em>Three groups of subjects participated in the research: group A (Grade - A1, A2, A3) with a number of 83 students (the class of 2017-2020) from the Physical and Sports Education study program of the Physical Education and Sport Faculty (ROU). Group B (Grade – B1, B2) is formed of 18 students (the class 2017-2020) while group C (Grade – C1, C2) is formed of 20 students (the class 2018-2021). The subjects of groups B and C are students of the Faculty of Pedagogy (MD). The research was carried out depending on the status of the discipline ”Gymnastics” within the curriculum of both study programs. Grade A1: first year – fundamental discipline ”Basic Gymnastics”. Grade A2: second year – bachelor’s degree discipline ”Theory and practice in the branches of gymnastics – Artistic gymnastics”. Grade A3: third year - specialization discipline ”Methods of teaching gymnastics in school”. Grades B1 and C1: ”Didactics of gymnastics I” (first semester). Grades B2 and C2: ”Didactics of gymnastics II” (second semester). Each discipline provides data about the subject matter, estimated total time, total of study hours per semester and individual study, conditions of carrying out and weighting of the evaluation criteria. The Single Factor Analysis of Variance was used to compare the average differences between groups. The nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis Test was used for the differences between groups. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.</p> <p><em>Results. </em>The comparative analysis of the study programs reveals differences in the status of disciplines (fundamental, bachelor’s degree and specialization – ROU and component of orientation towards a specialty - MD). The results of the comparative analysis between grades in the program ROU highlights the decrease of the mean by 0.24 points at Grade A2 and 0.36 points at Grade A3. There are significant differences at p<0.001 and at ANOVA Factor insignificant differences p>0.05. The results of the difference between groups in MD highlights the increase of performances in Grade C1 by 0.73 points and by 0.41 points at Grade C2. As for the comparison of the performances between grades, significant differences were observed between Grade C1 with Grade A2 and Grade A3, p<0.05. Regarding the other comparisons, the differences are insignificant at p>0.05, which shows that there are the same curricular approaches between contents and performances.</p> <p><em>Conclusions. </em>The comparative analysis carried out between the training programs of gymnastics specific competencies revealed different contents, different weightings of the number of hours and number of credits. The insignificant differences between programs in terms of grades highlight the same curricular approaches between contents and achieved performances.</p>2024-02-28T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2024 Valeriu Jurat, Carolina Moga, Maria-Florica Grigore, Ion Carp, Marius-Viorel Ulăreanu, Roxana-Ștefania Drăgan, Daniela-Corina Popescu, Miroslawa Cieslickahttps://sportedu.org.ua/index.php/PES/article/view/1943Interrelations of physical state parameters and biological age of students in the process of physical education2024-01-18T12:52:49+02:00Oleksandr Pryimakovsanaol7.alex@gmail.comMarek SawczukMarek.Sawczuk@usz.edu.plStanislav Prysiazhniukstas046@ukr.netNataliya Mazuroknatprim75@gmail.comOleksandr Petrachkovapetrachkov77@ukr.net<p><em>Background and Study Aim. </em>The objective of the study is to investigate the relationships of students' biological age (BA) with the parameters of functional and physical fitness (PF) in the process of adaptation to standard (university) and experimental physical education programs.</p> <p><em>Material and Methods. </em>The studies were conducted at the National University of Telecommunications of Ukraine and involved 140 students aged 17-18 years old, comprising 80 boys and 60 girls. We recorded 55 indices of students' functional state and physical fitness, and determined their Body Mass Index (BMI). The experimental data were processed using methods of correlation, dispersion, and regression analysis. Mathematical models describing the relationships between BMI and key indicators of students' physical well-being were developed.</p> <p><em>Results. </em>The impact of the program on 17-18-year-old students is marked by a decrease in BMI, an increase in the levels of physical fitness and overall well-being among both the experimental group of girls and boys. Additionally, there is a reduced correlation between BMI and the parameters of their physical health. The key indices of functional state and physical fitness determining the BMI of male and female students were identified. Multiple regression models were developed to illustrate the dependence of male and female BMI on somatic and functional indices. Quantitative characteristics of the degree of partial and total impact of key indices on male and female BMI were provided. It was found that the key indicators of students' physical state (PS) structure, which exerted the most significant influence on BMI, differ between young men and women. In young men, the key indicators influencing BMI include the following: Vital capacity (VC) accounts for 51.9% of BMI variation; self-perceived health status (SPHS) contributes 15.3%; static balancing (SB) affects 8.5%; inspiration breath-hold time (IBH) influences 8.4%; expiration breath-hold time (EBH) has a 0.8% impact; systolic blood pressure (SBP) plays a role with 4.6%; the number of sit-ups in 30 seconds (SU30s) is associated with 0.9%; and left hand muscle strength has a 0.6% influence. In girls, the key indicators are VC (34.5% of BMI variation), SBP (23.1%), and SB (7.9%).</p> <p><em>Conclusions. </em>The experimental program of increased motor activity leads to an increase in the functional and motor capabilities of students, while simultaneously decreasing their BMI. Among the parameters studied, changes in vegetative parameters have the greatest impact on reducing students' BMI during the annual cycle of long-term adaptation to physical loads. In contrast, changes in somatic parameters and physical fitness parameters have a lesser influence on students' BMI. The calculated equations of multiple regression serve as model characteristics that reflect the relationships between BMI and the key indicators of functional state and physical fitness in 17-18-year-old students. These equations can be utilized to estimate, model, and predict the BMI of 17-18-year-old students of different genders when altering the parameters of their physical state in various conditions of daily life and activity.</p>2024-02-28T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2024 Oleksandr Pryimakov, Marek Sawczuk, Stanislav Prysiazhniuk, Nataliya Mazurok, Oleksandr Petrachkovhttps://sportedu.org.ua/index.php/PES/article/view/1950Investigation of the nutritional habits of students receiving coaching education: a cross-sectional study2024-01-23T15:21:12+02:00Hakan Kırkbirhakankirkbir@gmail.comÖzge Sezik Tanyerisezikozge@gmail.comSerkan Hacicaferogluserkanhacicaferoglu@gmail.com<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Background and Study Aim.</em> The aim of this study is to examine the nutritional knowledge levels and habits of the students who will work in the field of sport sciences in Turkey and who are studying in the Faculties of Sport Sciences.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Material and Methods.</em> The sample of the study consisted of 186 volunteer university students studying in the coaching departments of the Faculties of Sport Sciences, selected by simple random sampling method. General scanning model was used in the research. The data in the study were collected using the 32-item “Nutrition Knowledge Scale for Adults”.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Results.</em> Within the scope of the scores in both sub-dimensions of the scale, it was determined that the perception scores of the participants in terms of independent variables were statistically close to each other and they had knowledge about nutrition in general. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the nutritional knowledge levels according to the age variable, and the effect level was close to the middle. It was determined that there was no significant difference between other variables and nutrition.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Conclusions.</em> In addition to a healthy life, healthy nutrition is important for coaches in the continuity of their professional life. It would be beneficial to have more information about nutrition in school curriculum. This will contribute to the fight against obesity, which is today's disease.</p>2024-02-28T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2024 Hakan Kırkbir, Özge Sezik Tanyeri, Serkan Hacicaferogluhttps://sportedu.org.ua/index.php/PES/article/view/1955Investigation of balance performance of wrestling and kickboxing athletes2024-01-31T22:01:00+02:00Berkay Löklüoğluberkaylokluoglu@mku.edu.trSercan Yılmazssercanyilmazz@gmail.comSedat Özcansedatozcan@sdu.edu.trAli Tatlıcıalitatlici@selcuk.edu.tr<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Background and Aim.</em> Balance performance is one of the significant requirements to achieve success in wrestling and kickboxing. Although the evaluation of balance performance is important in both sports branches, there are a limited number of studies on this subject. Additionally, there is no study comparing the two branches in terms of balance performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the balance performances of wrestling and kickboxing athletes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Material and Methods. </em>Thirteen Greco-Roman wrestlers (age: 20.69 ± 1.32 years, height: 176.0 ± 4.30 cm, body mass: 75.54 ± 6.81 kg) and thirteen kickboxers (age: 20.23 ± 2.49 years, height: 177. 62 ± 5.03 cm, body mass: 77.08 ± 8.44 kg) who participated in national competitions were included in the study voluntarily. The Biodex Balance System (BBS, Biodex Medical Systems Inc., Shirley, NY) was used to test dynamic balance and three index scores were recorded: overall stability index (OSI), anterior-posterior stability index (APSI) and medio-lateral stability index (MLSI). Dynamic balance measurements of the participants were conducted with eyes open condition. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the outputs of the dynamic balance tests of wrestlers and kickboxers. All statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS software package, version 24.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Results.</em> The comparison of dynamic balance between kickboxers and wrestlers revealed no significant differences in the OSI, APSI, and MLSI parameters (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that despite the inherent differences in technical requirements and training protocols between kickboxing and wrestling, both groups of athletes demonstrate similar levels of proficiency in maintaining dynamic balance. Such parity challenges potential assumptions regarding disparities in balance performance across these disciplines.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Conclusions.</em> The balance performances of wrestling and kickboxing athletes are similar, as evidenced by the lack of significant differences in dynamic balance parameters between the two groups. This suggests that balance performance may be influenced by the specific features of each sport and the training levels of the athletes, rather than inherent differences between the sports themselves.</p>2024-02-28T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2024 Berkay Löklüoğlu, Sercan Yılmaz, Sedat Özcan, Ali Tatlıcıhttps://sportedu.org.ua/index.php/PES/article/view/1952The impact of practicing sports and physical activities on life quality level among a sample of master’s students after the Corona pandemic2024-01-26T21:42:52+02:00Makhlouf Djeriouimakhlouf.djerioui@univ-msila.dzAbderrahim Laidi abderrahim.laidi@univ-msila.dzAhmed Lebchiriahmed.lebchiri@univ-msila.dz<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Background and Study Aim.</em> Research has shown that practicing sports and physical activities positively influences the quality of life level for master’s students. This research aims to identify the standard levels of life quality among master’s students practicing physical activities after the Corona pandemic.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Material and Methods. </em>This study adopted a descriptive approach. The research sample consisted of 90 master’s students from the Physical Education and Sports department. Among them, 45 students specialized in a collective sport (basketball), and the other 45 specialized in an individual combat sport (judo). To measure the level of life quality, we utilized the Quality of Life Scale as the designated instrument.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Results. </em>The study's findings revealed a high level of quality of life among master’s students engaging in sport activities. Moreover, significant differences were observed in the quality of life based on the type of sports specialization, between collective and individual sports. This suggests that engaging in sports activities positively impacts the quality of life. Specifically, students from the judo group exhibited a higher quality of life level compared to those in the basketball group.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Conclusions. </em>These findings suggest the potential of tailored physical activity programs, especially those focusing on individual sports, to enhance life quality among master’s students. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence advocating for the integration of physical activities into educational curricula to support students' overall well-being.</p>2024-02-28T00:00:00+02:00Copyright (c) 2024 Makhlouf Djerioui, Abderrahim Laidi , Ahmed Lebchiri
