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

Background: Badminton officials play a crucial role in ensuring fair play and accurate decision-making during competitions. However, officiating tasks are performed under high cognitive demands, time pressure, and social stressors, which can influence physiological responses and cognitive performance. Empirical evidence examining stress dynamics in badminton officials using objective physiological indicators remains limited. Methods: This study employed a descriptive repeated-measures design involving 102 certified badminton officials during a national-level competition. Heart rate data were recorded across five conditions: early morning rest, sitting near the referee table, during game intervals, between matches, and after competition. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, repeated-measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni post-hoc tests to identify differences in physiological responses across officiating situations. Result: Heart rate values increased progressively from resting conditions to peak levels during game intervals and between matches, indicating heightened physiological stress, before decreasing after the competition. Significant differences were observed across all measurement conditions (p < .001). Key stressors included spectator noise, high cognitive load, time pressure, and interpersonal and organizational demands. Elevated arousal levels suggested delayed physiological recovery during continuous officiating duties. Conclusion: Badminton officiating is associated with substantial physiological stress, particularly during critical match phases. Sustained stress may negatively affect cognitive and emotional functioning. The findings highlight the importance of implementing effective coping strategies, such as controlled breathing, mindfulness, and structured recovery routines, to support officials’ performance, well-being, and long-term officiating capacity.

Abstract

Background: Girls with mild intellectual disability experience persistent deficits in adaptive behavior, coping skills, and social integration, particularly during adolescence when psychosocial demands intensify. Despite this need, accessible, school-based psychological interventions remain limited. Given the risk of long-term social exclusion and reduced quality of life, identifying low-cost, inclusive strategies such as unified rhythmic activity is urgently required. Aims: This study evaluated the effects of rhythmic activity training and unified rhythmic activity training on psychological outcomes, adaptive behavior, and coping strategies for girls with MID, who participated alongside typically developing peers. Methods: A three-arm randomized controlled trial included 45 girls (10–14 years) with mild intellectual disability (IQ 50–70) in Coimbatore, India. Participants were assigned to rhythmic training, unified rhythmic training, or control groups. Interventions lasted 12 weeks (60 minutes, thrice weekly). Primary outcomes were adaptive behavior and coping strategies; secondary outcomes included self-efficacy, social competence, emotional regulation, quality of life, and behavioral problems. Analyses applied intention-to-treat, repeated measures ANOVA, and ANCOVA. Result: Significant within-group reductions were found for Irritability/Agitation in RATG and URATG (both p < 0.001), but not in CG (p = 0.64), with significant between-group differences (p < 0.001). Social Withdrawal improved in RATG (p = 0.003) and URATG (p < 0.001), not in CG (p = 0.81). Stereotypic Behavior and Hyperactivity decreased significantly in both intervention groups (p ≤ 0.009), but not in CG (p ≥ 0.75), with significant group effects (p < 0.001). Inappropriate Speech showed no within-group significance, though between-group differences were significant (p = 0.001). Conclusion: This study establishes that rhythmic and unified rhythmic interventions significantly enhance adaptive behavior and coping in girls with mild intellectual disability, with the unified model offering superior social benefits. It advances inclusive physical activity as a theoretically grounded, evidence-based approach and contributes robust experimental data supporting scalable, school-based psychosocial interventions.

Abstract

Background: Cultural movement exposure has been suggested as a potential factor influencing children’s motor development; however, empirical evidence on ethnic variation in gross motor skills among Indonesian children—particularly within indigenous Dayak sub-ethnic groups—remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to examine differences in gross motor skills between Dayak Ngaju and Dayak Bakumpai children aged 8-11 years. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative design was employed involving 94 elementary school children (48 boys and 46 girls) from eight schools. Gross motor skills were assessed using the Indonesian-adapted TGMD-3, with established content validity (CVI = 0.91) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.89). Performances were video-recorded and evaluated by trained raters blinded to participant identity. Two-way ANOVA was used to examine the effects of ethnicity and gender, with non-parametric tests applied when assumptions were violated. Results: No significant main effects of ethnicity or gender were found for locomotor, object control, or total TGMD-3 scores (p > 0.05). However, a significant ethnicity × gender interaction was observed for locomotor skills (p < 0.05). At the task level, a significant difference was identified only in boys’ horizontal jump performance, with Dayak Bakumpai boys scoring higher than their Ngaju counterparts. No other significant differences were observed across skill domains. Conclusion: Ethnic differences in gross motor skills among Dayak children appear to be limited and task-specific rather than consistent across domains. Cultural movement exposure may be associated with certain aspects of motor performance; however, causal interpretations cannot be established. These findings highlight the importance of context-sensitive physical education approaches that consider local movement practices without assuming generalised group differences.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship development is a priority across all sectors, including the field of sports. This study sought to construct a model and determine the key factors that drive the expansion of entrepreneurial opportunities within sports education and research. Employing an exploratory-consequential approach with applied and developmental aims, the study was conducted in two phases. The qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews with ten experts comprising academics, entrepreneurs, and sports administrators selected through convenience sampling. The quantitative phase included 52 randomly selected participants from the same population. Data collection instruments consisted of semi-structured interviews and a custom-designed questionnaire utilizing a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modeling via SmartPLS 4. Exploratory factor analysis identified 52 items distributed across eight constructs. All constructs demonstrated strong validity and reliability, with factor loadings and AVE values exceeding 0.70. The final structural model exhibited a good overall fit and confirmed a significant positive impact of all eight factors (P < 0.001). The findings underscore the critical role of these dimensions in advancing sports entrepreneurship and suggest that reinforcing them could enhance the entrepreneurial framework within the domain of sports education and research.
