Abstract

This study explores integrating engineering concepts into the physical education (PE) curriculum, aiming to develop student experiences and progressive development. The objectives include exploring benefits associated with incorporating engineering principles, including preventing injuries through movement analysis and biomechanics, stimulating creativity and problem-solving skills with sports equipment, and strengthening theoretical knowledge through practical experiences in designing fitness equipment. The methods involved a comprehensive approach by literature reviews. The observed benefits include enhanced problem-solving abilities, improved creativity, and the practical application of theoretical knowledge, all contributing to a good educational experience. This interdisciplinary approach not only prepares students for a technologically advanced society but also ongoing research, collaboration, and implementation to maximize its educational potential in both physical education and engineering.

Abstract

Physical education courses, traditionally a blend of theory and practice for their own department students, are often delivered as purely theoretical classes for students from non-physical education disciplines enrolled in Generic Elective Courses (GEC). This approach can lead to disengagement and boredom, as students are already exposed to multiple theoretical classes throughout the day. To address this issue, the Department of Physical Education at the Central University of Haryana revised its GEC curriculum to include practical sessions alongside theoretical content. This study explores the impact of this curriculum revision on student engagement and physical fitness. Feedback from 200 postgraduate students, aged 20-25, indicated a strong preference for incorporating practical sessions into the curriculum, with 98% of respondents favoring this change. The revised curriculum allocated two hours per week for physical activities, aimed at enhancing student engagement and promoting the importance of physical fitness. The effectiveness of the new curriculum was assessed through a one-minute push-up test, measuring upper body strength at the beginning and end of the semester. Initial results showed that 50% of the students struggled to complete the test. However, by the end of the semester, 96% of students successfully completed the one-minute push-up test, indicating significant improvement in physical fitness. The study concludes that integrating practical sessions into GEC physical education courses not only improves student engagement but also enhances physical fitness. It highlights the need for a balanced approach, combining theory with hands-on activities, to foster holistic development. The findings suggest that other departments offering practical-oriented courses could benefit from incorporating similar practical components into their curricula.

Abstract

Kinematic analysis is crucial in sports science and biomechanics for optimizing performance and helping in rehabilitation. This study compares fifteen kinematic analysis tools, namely Siliconcoach, Kinovea, Templo by Contemplas, Gaiton, Helix 3D By Rundna, Dartfish, Coach’s Eye, Vicon, Motion Analysis Corporation, Noraxon Myoresearch, Qualisys, Pro-Trainer, Xsens, Simi Motion, And Shutter Precision. The comparison focuses on performance benchmarks, usability, accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. High-end systems like Vicon and Qualisys excel in precision and real-time data processing, ideal for research and professional use, while tools like Coach’s Eye offer accessible yet less precise analysis suitable for general coaching. Usability varies, with Kinovea and Dartfish noted for their user-friendly interfaces, while advanced systems require more extensive training. Accuracy is critical, with top systems providing high precision through sophisticated technologies. Cost varies widely, from free tools like Kinovea to premium systems like Vicon. This study provides valuable insights for selecting the most appropriate scientific tools and methods
