Abstract

Fundamental movement skills (FMS) and learning motivation are essential for children’s physical development and participation in physical activity. However, many elementary school students demonstrate low motor competence and limited engagement in physical education due to conventional instructional approaches that are often repetitive and less interactive. Augmented Reality (AR) technology has emerged as a promising tool to enhance learning experiences and increase student motivation. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of AR-based athletics learning on FMS and learning motivation among elementary school students. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed involving 60 students aged 9–11 years. Participants were assigned to either an experimental group receiving AR-based athletics instruction or a control group receiving conventional instruction. The intervention was conducted over eight weeks. FMS were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3), while learning motivation was measured using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests and Cohen’s d effect size analysis. The results showed significant improvements in both FMS and motivation among students in the experimental group. FMS scores increased from 61.47 ± 6.28 to 78.53 ± 5.91, while motivation scores increased from 63.84 ± 5.74 to 82.15 ± 5.38 (p < 0.001). Large effect sizes were observed for FMS (d = 1.42) and motivation (d = 1.58). These findings indicate that AR-based athletics learning is an effective and innovative strategy for improving motor skills and learning motivation in physical education.

Abstract

The effects of sexual activity and masturbation before exercise or competition on athletic performance remain unclear. This systematic review examined their short and long-term effects on physical performance and physiological responses, proposed underlying mechanisms, and methodological limitations in the existing literature. A systematic search of the Scopus database was conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, identifying 281 records. Following title and abstract screening and application of predefined eligibility criteria, 50 articles were included in the review. Of these, 10 directly investigated the relationship between sexual activity or masturbation and athletic performance. The relevant evidence was synthesized thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework. A meta-analysis was not performed because of substantial heterogeneity in study outcomes and measures. Overall, sexual activity or masturbation performed more than two hours before exercise or competition did not appear to significantly affect strength, endurance, physical performance, or reaction time. Findings for shorter intervals were inconsistent. Psychological readiness and sleep quality may influence performance, while testosterone fluctuations, autonomic arousal, and perceived exertion were the most frequently proposed physiological mechanisms. However, small sample sizes, reliance on self-reported data, and inconsistent definitions of sexual activity limited the interpretation of causal relationships. Current evidence does not support strict abstinence from sexual activity or masturbation before competition. Individualized, evidence-based recommendations may be more appropriate for athletes. Further research using larger and more diverse samples, standardized definitions, objective measurements, and rigorous study designs is needed to clarify the relationship across different sports and levels of competition.

Abstract

This comprehensive literature review, spanning from 2020 to 2026, explores the profound impact of coach communication on athletes' psychological states and performance across the three temporal phases of competition: pre-competition, in-competition, and post-competition. Utilizing the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and drawing from the Scopus database, the review meticulously analyzed 50 high-quality studies to bridge the gap between sport psychology, coaching science, and communication research. The thematic analysis revealed that verbal and non-verbal communication, precise and timely feedback, confirmation messages, and structure-giving strategies are consistently linked to enhanced athlete self-esteem, perceived capability, and drive, while effectively reducing competition-related anxiety. Moreover, overall communication quality directly influences team cohesion and objective performance outcomes. However, the effectiveness of these interactions varies depending on critical contextual factors, such as the specific stage of competition, the athlete's developmental level, the type of sport, and the strength of the coach-athlete partnership. Notably, post-competition feedback emerged as a vital component for athlete learning and burnout prevention. From a theoretical standpoint, these findings extend both general communication theory and the relation-inferred self-efficacy framework into competitive sports contexts. Practically, the review provides an evidence-based foundation for coaches to fine-tune the content and timing of their messaging according to the exact competition phase. Finally, the authors recommend that future research prioritize longitudinal study designs, cross-cultural comparisons, and standardized measurement tools to better establish causal relationships in sports communication.

Abstract

Athletes face relatively short and uncertain career trajectories, making career transition and economic independence important concerns. This systematic literature review examined how entrepreneurial interest, entrepreneurship education, financial literacy, and related competencies support athletes’ career development, employability, and economic independence. Following the PRISMA 2020 framework, a structured search of the Scopus database identified 134 records, of which 50 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the qualitative and thematic synthesis. The findings revealed four major themes: the role of sport-specific competencies and entrepreneurship education in developing entrepreneurial intention and self-efficacy; the contribution of dual-career and structured transition programs to post-career entrepreneurship; the broader economic benefits of sport-related social entrepreneurship; and the moderating effects of gender, sport discipline, and institutional support. Overall, entrepreneurial competencies and educational support can strengthen athletes’ career adaptability, employability, and economic independence during and after their sporting careers. Future research should emphasize longitudinal designs, cross-national comparisons, and validated measures of athlete-specific entrepreneurial self-efficacy.

Abstract

Population aging has become a major public health concern due to the increasing prevalence of functional decline, sleep disturbances, and reduced psychological well-being among older adults. Regular physical activity is recognized as an effective strategy for healthy aging, yet more than a quarter of adults worldwide remain insufficiently active, and many older adults cannot tolerate moderate- or vigorous-intensity exercise (Guthold et al., 2018). Zone Zero Exercise, a low-intensity exercise program emphasizing controlled movement, breathing regulation, and body relaxation, has emerged as a promising alternative. This study aimed to examine the impact of Zone Zero Exercise on quality of life, sleep quality, and self-confidence among community-dwelling older adults.: This observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 80 older adults recruited from community exercise groups in Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia. Quality of life, sleep quality, and self-confidence were assessed using the ICECAP-O, the Sleep Condition Indicator (SCI), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), respectively. Data normality and homogeneity were assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk and Levene’s tests. Comparative analyses were conducted using paired-sample t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis evaluated associations among study variables. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Participants had a mean age of 67.82 ± 5.91 years, with females accounting for 61.2% of the sample. Following participation in Zone Zero Exercise, significant improvements were observed in quality of life (61.42 ± 8.35 vs. 71.86 ± 7.41; p < 0.001), sleep quality (18.57 ± 4.62 vs. 24.91 ± 3.95; p < 0.001), and self-confidence (24.85 ± 3.98 vs. 30.17 ± 3.42; p < 0.001), with large effect sizes (Cohen’s d = 1.04–1.21). Positive correlations were identified between quality of life and sleep quality (r = 0.692), quality of life and self-confidence (r = 0.641), and sleep quality and self-confidence (r = 0.587) (all p < 0.001). Zone Zero Exercise was associated with significant improvements in quality of life, sleep quality, and self-confidence among older adults. Its low-intensity, safe, and accessible characteristics make it a promising community-based intervention to support healthy aging.
