The study analyzed the possible effects of retro walking exercise techniques on the skill of balance in hearing impaired individuals. The study is a quasi-experimental study and the single group pretest-post-test design among the experiment models was used. The study groups was applied a retro walking exercise for eight weeks. 25 hearing impaired…

Background: Swallowing function can become impaired due to primary medical conditions or age-related presbyphagia, resulting in swallowing disorders, known as dysphagia. Specific manoeuvres that target different musculature have been innovated and researched, but whole-body exercises (WBE) that target multiple large groups of body systems and…

Through the lens of Maslach's (1995) Multi-Dimensional Theory of Burnout, and Stamm's (2012) Quality of Life Survey (ProQOL), the study examined educators scores regarding various logistics. The purpose of this quantitative, causal comparative study was to test the multi-dimensional theory of burnout by comparing various demographics of school…

Maximal exercise capacity (W[subscript max]) and anaerobic threshold (A[subscript T]) are important tools used non-invasively to evaluate aerobic fitness levels and clinically possible risk. It has been shown that O[subscript 2] uptake to heartbeat ratio (O[subscript 2] pulse) at the maximal exercise test is an important parameter used to evaluate…

Objective: Determine whether the ACSM walking equations, which calculate caloric expenditure, were accurate for college-aged males and females. Participants: Between 2011 and 2016, 100 college-aged males, 20.24 ± 2.0 years old, and 100 college-aged females, 20.8 ± 1.3 years old, volunteered to participate. Methods: Participants walked on a…

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Exercise Motivations Inventory -- 2 (EMI-2) scale would be appropriate to measure college students' exercise motivation. Participants: The EMI-2 scale questionnaire was administered to 325 college students in the southwestern U.S. Method: The WINSTEPS program was conducted to…

Competitions in combat sports are divided into certain weight classes in order to compete fairly among athletes of similar body weight. However, athletes lose weight compulsorily or tactically (to encounter weaker opponents, to be between two weights, to be faster and more agile, etc.). In many scientific studies, it is seen that the athletes lose…

Background: Drunkorexia includes calorie restriction, excessive exercise, and/or purging in combination with alcohol consumption. Exploring drunkorexia by gender could inform potential intervention to address varying rates of drunkorexia, blood alcohol concentrations, and alcohol-related consequences. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review…

In physical education and exercise science, it is common to examine mean differences between groups or to assess change across time. However, before group differences or change can be confidently examined, measurement invariance can be tested. Measurement invariance tests the equivalence of a construct across groups or across time. If measurement…

Cohort scheduling intentionally places students in the same sections of several classes (e.g., biology, algebra, and writing) with a consistent peer group and is typically done for small groups (<30 students) to enable better interaction among students. The goal of this study was to compare cohort scheduling to traditional scheduling methods…

The International Survey of Children's Wellbeing (ISCWeB) is the most wide-ranging and diverse study ever conducted internationally on children from their own perspective. The aim of this study was to pilot the ISCWeB among primary schoolchildren in Ireland to examine their subjective wellbeing and examine the relationship between subjective…

The number of degrees conferred by postsecondary institutions in an academic field reflects institutional priorities, public interest in a domain of human knowledge, and overall societal and economic demand for certain skills and abilities. Public postsecondary institutions, which are obligated to serve the public interest, and professional…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the agreement of five commercially available accelerometers in estimating energy expenditure while performing an acute bout of high-intensity functional training (HIFT). Methods: Participants (n = 47; average age: 28.5 ± 11.6 years) consisted of recreationally active, healthy adults. Each…

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate biomechanical and physiological responses to soccer-specific exercise incorporating an extra-time period (ET) and assess the test-retest reliability of these responses. Methods: Twelve soccer players performed 120 min of soccer-specific exercise. Tri-axial (PL[subscript Total]) and uni-axial…

With the continuous development of technological and educational innovation, learners nowadays can obtain a variety of supports from agents such as teachers, peers, education technologies, and recently, generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. In particular, there has been a surge of academic interest in human-AI collaboration and…
