The aim of the study was to determine the changes in blood hormone and respiratory parameters in recovery phases. 28 voluntary men participated in the study, with an average age of 19.75±1.61 years and playing active football during the league season. Wingate Anaerobic Power Test and Respiratory Function Test (RFT) were applied to the subjects who…

In this research, the effectiveness of the most to least prompting instruction method in teaching dynamic stretching exercises to adults with intellectual disabilities has been evaluated. At the same time, the impact of this instruction on flexibility and balance which are among physical fitness components has also been determined. A single…

There exists an "innovation gap" where students are not prepared to meet the demands of an increasingly complex world. Skills such as creative confidence help close this gap and also foster innovation. To better prepare students, two concepts, design thinking and experiential learning, are integrated through the use of a modified writing…

The purpose of the present study was to examine the factorial and convergent validity of the German translation of the Exercise Identity Scale (EIS; Anderson & Cychosz, 1994). We introduce a bifactor model as a possible alternative to the previously discussed one- and two-factor models. Using an online study with 530 participants, our results…

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of walking and running exercises over some blood parameters of adult individuals. A total of 20 male volunteers with an age average of 48.05 ± 2.30 were included in the study. An exercise program consisting of regular walking and running exercises for 90 minutes per day in three days of…

In this study, physiological and psychological outcomes of an 8-week moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise program (Zumba®) for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) were examined. Forty-six participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group ( n = 24) or control group (n = 22). The experimental group participated…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if anaerobic performance as measured by the Wingate is decremented in elite female athletes when fraction of inspired oxygen is decreased from 20.9% to 10%. Method: Nine collegiate female soccer players (M[subscript weight] = 63.2 ± 10 kg, M[subscript height] = 164 ± 4.7 cm, M[subscript age] =…

Laboratory teaching in sport and exercise sciences universities is of fundamental importance as it provides students with the necessary hands-on skills that are indispensable to future kinesiologists. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students in lockdown missed the opportunity to acquire laboratory skills. Here we report the solutions…

We present a multi-method design for elucidating young, mostly illiterate children's (grades 1 and 2 of Swiss elementary school, ages 6-8) ideas about energy. The design uses semi-structured interviews and video recordings as the main methods of data generation and collection, respectively. A plurality of tasks, including drawing, sorting and a…

Background: It is well established in the literature how exercise prevents chronic diseases. Nevertheless, we still lack knowledge about the ways in which health-related bodily practices might contribute to health promotion. Less is known about pedagogies in public health directed at adult and older-age groups, within non-formal educational…

As obesity rates and physical inactivity levels continue to rise among American youth, the need for quality physical education programs is more important than ever. However, to many observers, physical education is a hindrance to academic time and a subject that does not bring value to the educational system. It is imperative for physical…

Purpose: Intrinsic laryngeal skeletal muscle bioenergetics, the means by which muscles produce fuel for muscle metabolism, is an understudied aspect of laryngeal physiology with direct implications for voice habilitation and rehabilitation. The purpose of this review is to describe bioenergetic pathways identified in limb skeletal muscle and…
