Abstract

Physical education (PE) is a crucial component of a well-rounded education because it equips the holistic aspects of the students required to live a healthy and active lifestyle. The objective of this study is to assess the role of recreational activities on physical education participation. This study explores the students’ profile, role of recreational activities in physical education participation and its relationship among 2nd year college students in one state university in Laguna, Philippines. This research employs descriptive design and random sampling method in determining the respondents. The researcher analyzed the gathered data from the administered validated self-made questionnaire. The results showed that the respondents relished the recreational activities immensely and actively participated which demonstrate that the recreational activities enabled physical activity, intellectual and emotional stimulation, and interaction with others.  The high levels of participation illustrates that the students enjoyed the games and that they benefited to their overall enjoyment of physical education courses. Consequently, the results emphasize the respondents' favorable feelings toward physical education classes along with their strong drive to get involved and prosper in their classes. Their desire to learn and pursue new physical activities is indicative of their proactive approach to PE. The significance of nurturing a supportive and active physical education environment that encourages the holistic development and well-being of students is highlighted. It is recommended to utilize the designed process handbook to prioritize the incorporation of recreational activities into their curricula and provide an atmosphere of encouragement to have an active engagement and enjoyment.

Abstract

The  purpose  of  the study. This study presents a comprehensive examination of technical proficiencies in table tennis, comparing advanced and intermediate players to identify key differentiating factors in performance. Materials and methods. The research involved 40 participants (20 advanced players with 5+ years of competitive experience and 20 intermediate players with 2-4 years of experience) aged 18-25 years. Over a three-month period, participants underwent systematic evaluation of their technical skills, including basic stroke accuracy, biomechanical efficiency, and tactical adaptability. This empirical investigation was undertaken at seven Table Tennis clubs located within the confines of Medan city, Indonesia. Results. Results revealed significant differences between skill levels in most measured parameters: advanced players demonstrated superior forehand drive accuracy (85.3% vs 67.1%, p<0.001), backhand drive accuracy (82.7% vs 63.4%, p<0.001), and rally consistency (28.4 vs 15.6 hits, p<0.001). Biomechanical analysis showed advanced players maintained more optimal arm angles (110.5° vs 95.8°) and faster bat swing speeds (17.8 m/s vs 12.4 m/s). Additionally, advanced players exhibited better tactical adaptation, with more service variations (6.8 vs 4.2 types) and faster reaction times (245ms vs 312ms). Conclusions. The findings highlight that the progression from intermediate to advanced level requires improvements across multiple domains, including technical consistency, biomechanical efficiency, and tactical adaptability. This research provides valuable insights for developing targeted training programs and understanding the multifaceted nature of expertise in table tennis.

Abstract

Research funding policies has a critical role in shaping research productivity and governance in higher education institutions (HEIs). However, limited empirical studies have examined how these policies are experienced by faculty members and administrators, particularly in state universities within developing country contexts. This study explores the implementation of research funding and assistance guidelines in a Philippine state university using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected from 34 participants (15 administrators and 19 faculty members) through semi-structured interviews and document analysis and were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal an enabling–constraining dynamic in the implementation of research funding policies. Institutional support, including funding, incentives, and structured processes, enhances faculty motivation, research engagement, and planning quality. Conversely, bureaucratic complexity, procedural rigidity, and delays in fund release constrain efficiency, limit participation, and discourage sustained engagement. Anchored in self-determination theory (SDT) and structuration theory, the study demonstrates how research funding policies simultaneously influence faculty motivation and are shaped by institutional structures. These findings highlight the need for streamlined processes, consistent implementation, and faculty-centered support systems. The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence of the enabling–constraining paradox of research funding policies and offers insights for improving research governance in higher education.
