    This article explores the role of physical educators in mitigating the health risks associated with increasing screen time among adolescents. With the rise of technology, young people are spending more time engaged with digital devices, leading to a range of health issues. Physical educators can play a vital role in promoting healthy habits, physical activity, and social and emotional development to mitigate the negative effects of screen time. The paper provides an overview of the impacts of excessive screen time on physical and mental health. Physical health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other health issues, as well as mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression, are associated with excessive screen time. The paper highlights the critical role of physical educators in promoting a balanced lifestyle by incorporating technology-free activities and encouraging physical activity to promote overall health. The paper also discusses the various roles of physical educators, including providing personalized physical activity plans, promoting mindfulness, educating on nutrition and healthy habits, and advocating for physical education. The paper emphasizes the need for physical educators to collaborate with other health professionals, such as school nurses and counsellors, to develop comprehensive health and wellness programs for students. The paper concludes with prospects for physical educators to address the issue of excessive screen time among adolescents. Physical educators can integrate technology into physical education programs and advocate for increased physical education and reduced screen time in schools.

    A comparative study on the Mental Toughness level of Individual and team game players

    Get PDF
    Mental toughness is a skill that is typically associated with successful competition performance. The value of mental toughness in competitive sports has been discussed in the literature (A.S. Goldberg, 1998; K. Hodge, 1994; J. Tunney, 1987; R.M. Williams, 1988). Several outcomes are subject to change because of how typically unpredictable sports are. Those who participate in competitive sports rapidly realise that winning is about more than just improving one\u27s physical capabilities. Being physically and mentally capable is one thing; being able to put those skills to use when needed is quite another. Every sports contest involves a struggle of will between the mind and body, which is blatantly obvious in a competitive environment (J.E. Loehr, 1982). This study compares the level of mental toughness among participants in individual and team games. A total of 50 intercollegiate level players were selected for this study out of which 25 players were from the individual game and 25 were from team games. The age of players ranges between 18 to 25 years. The mental toughness of the players was measured by using the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 18 (MTQ) developed by Cherry (2005). The Revised Mental Toughness Questionnaire measures athletes\u27 competitive desire, focus, resiliency, and self-confidence. The result of the study revealed that there is no significant difference in mental toughness (MT) between individual game team games. The data also showed there is no significant difference in mental toughness (MT) between hockey and handball players of team games. Again the result of the study revealed that there is no significant difference in mental toughness (MT) between archery and athletics players of an individual game
