E-learning training for physical education teachers: the experience of the Veneto SSIS
No full textA specific initial training to improve teachers’ competencies is one of the major challenges. Veneto SSIS (School of Specialization for Secondary School Teachers) trains teachers for different subjects using two types of courses: traditional in-presence courses and on-line courses. In this paper we present a comparative study of these two methodologies. As regards teaching in-presence, the on-line preparation allows an uninterrupted virtual contact between students and professors and among students by means of e-forum and mailing lists. Through on-line training, students can experiment with a constructive method of cooperative learning, which could be more effective than other traditional learning methodologies. 100 Physical Education student/teachers have been engaged in the last three years in on-line courses, at the end of all courses a questionnaire was administered to assess the efficacy of the teaching/learning process. Some important considerations emerged: 100% of students would carry out other on-line courses; 90% of the students would suggest it to a friend; 60% of teachers said that they had used interaction among colleagues more often than in traditional courses. Data suggest that the on-line methodology can be an effective modality for initial and continuous preparation for Physical Education teachers
Le scienze motorie e sportive nella scuola primaria
No full textLe attività motorie e sportive nella Scuola Primaria hanno un ruolo fondamentale per lo sviluppo del bambino e sono il mediatore della conoscenza e della coscienza di sé.
Il manuale si rivolge agli studenti di Scienze della Formazione Primaria e di Scienze Motorie, agli insegnanti della Scuola Primaria, ai dirigenti scolastici e a coloro che si occupano di promozione delle attività motorie e sportive con i bambini.
Il volume è suddiviso in tre parti: la prima parte (capitoli 1-6) dedicata ai nuclei fondanti delle Scienze Motorie e Sportive, la seconda (capitoli 7-11) è dedicata ai processi di insegnamen-to/apprendimento nella terza (capitoli 12-22) vengono approfonditi i contenuti applicativi della disciplina
Attentional Focus Effects on Lower-Limb Muscular Strength in Athletes: A Systematic Review
No full text: Pompa, D, Carson, HJ, Beato, M, di Fronso, S, and Bertollo, M. Attentional focus effects on lower-limb muscular strength in athletes: A systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 419-434, 2024-Evidence links an athlete's focus of attention to enhancing strength performance. However, additional research is needed to investigate the applicability of studies beyond the tasks and population currently examined. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review studies concerning attentional focus effects on strength characteristics on lower-limb tasks in athletes. Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases were searched using PRISMA PERSIST guidelines and keywords related to the focus of attention, force production processes, and athletes. Subjects were categorized: world class (tier 5); elite (tier 4); highly trained (tier 3); trained/developmental (tier 2); nonathletes (tiers 1-0); and mixed (different levels). Fifteen of 296 studies met the inclusion criteria. Included studies investigated the focus of attention effects on performance ( n = 6), between skill levels ( n = 2), and for learning ( n = 5), with respect to subject preference ( n = 1); one study did not state the aim. Studies achieved an average risk of bias score of "excellent"; however, findings suffered in the assessment of certainty. Only 2 studies reported an advantage for one type of attentional focus (external focus) across conditions ( g = 0.13-0.42) with tier 2 and mixed tier athletes. Research does not address the needs of elite athletes, and there is limited evidence on each type of strength characteristics and muscle action. There is also a need to incorporate methodological steps to promote task-relevant instructions. Research should focus on contextualized information within professional practice to offer stronger translational implications for athletes and coaches
The effect of an integrated neurofeedback and biofeedback training intervention on ice hockey shooting performance
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) neurofeedback training (NFT) and biofeedback training (BFT) intervention on ice hockey shooting performance. Specifically, the purpose was to examine (a) whether an NFT/BFT program could improve ice hockey shooting performance, (b) whether the implementation of an SMR-NFT intervention leads to neurological adaptations during performance, and (c) whether such neurological changes account for improvement in shooting performance. Using a longitudinal stratified random control design, results demonstrated that while both SMR-NFT/BFT and control groups improved performance, the rate of improvement for the SMR-NFT/BFT group was significantly higher than the control. Participants in the SMR-NFT/BFT group demonstrated the ability to significantly increase SMR power from pre- to postintervention in the lab. However, no significant changes in SMR power were found during shooting performance. This result may be suggestive of differing cortical activity present during motor-skill preparation
