Effects of a gamified physical education intervention on motor competence and emotional intelligence among disadvantaged primary-school children
Disadvantaged children are at risk of low motor competence (MC) and emotional intelligence (EI), which are both important for holistic development. Gamification offers a promising approach in physical education (PE), but evidence of effectiveness remains limited. This study investigated the effectiveness and acceptability of a gamified PE intervention on MC, EI, perceived MC, and self-determined motivation in 9–10-year-old children from deprived …
Combining environment and task manipulation improves the development of individual creativity in futsal players
These results emphasize the importance of manipulation of constraints (changing the size) as a potential gateway to stimulate creativity in futsal players. Moreover, this study highlights the significant role of combined manipulation (G4), which outperformed other groups in most creativity-related metrics, contributing valuable insights into futsal training methodologies
Co-development of a gamified physical education movement competence intervention with school stakeholders
Movement competence (MC) and emotional intelligence (EI) are positively associated and important for child development. Intervention research is needed to determine causal relationships between these outcomes. Gamification is a pedagogical model that may enhance MC and EI, but implementing interventions in schools is complex and requires multi-stakeholder involvement to ensure feasibility, acceptability and sustainability. However, methodological…
Feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a gamified physical education intervention on motor competence and emotional intelligence
This study evaluated (a) the feasibility and acceptability of a gamified physical education (PE) intervention among 9- to 10-year-old children and (b) intervention effectiveness on emotional intelligence (EI), motor competence (MC), basic psychological needs (BPNs) and motivational regulations. A mixed-method, single-group, pre-post trial was conducted in three primary schools in North West England. Classroom teachers taught a 10-week gamified PE…
Obstacle course-based versus traditional physical education
Physical education (PE) offers an optimal setting for promoting higher moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and reducing sedentary behaviour (SB). This study examines the MVPA and SB among elementary schoolchildren during an obstacle course-based PE lesson and compares it to a traditional PE lesson, with the same students participating in both conditions. Moreover, it explores how gender, age and intrinsic motivation for PE relate to tim…
There is more that unites us than divides us”. Optimizing talent transfer processes by clustering 34 sports by their task, individual and environmental similarities
Sports are characterized by unique rules, environments, and tasks, but also share fundamental similarities with each other sport. Such between-sports parallels can be vital for optimizing talent transfer processes. This study aimed to explore similarities between sports to provide an objective basis for clustering sports into families by means of machine learning. An online survey was conducted, garnering responses from 1,247 coaches across 36 co…
Differences in Weight Status and Autonomous Motivation towards Sports among Children with Various Profiles of Motor Competence and Organized Sports Participation
This study aimed (1) to identify profiles in children based on actual motor competence (AMC), perceived motor competence (PMC), and organized sports participation (OSP), and (2) to examine differences among these profiles in weight status as well as autonomous motivation towards sports. Children's ( N = 206; 112 boys; M age = 10.83 ± 0.92 years) AMC, PMC, OSP, weight status, and autonomous motivation towards sports were measured using validated a…
Children Involved in Team Sports Show Superior Executive Function Compared to Their Peers Involved in Self-Paced Sports
Children's motor and cognitive functions develop rapidly during childhood. Physical activity and executive function are intricately linked during this important developmental period, with physical activity interventions consistently proving to benefit children's executive function. However, it is less clear which type of physical activity shows the strongest associations with executive function in children. Therefore, this study compared executiv…
Accuracy of maturity prediction equations in individual elite male football players
None of the evaluated prediction equations is accurate for estimating APHV in individual players nor are predictions stable over time, which limits their utility for adjusting training programmes
Multilevel modelling of longitudinal changes in isokinetic knee extensor and flexor strength in adolescent soccer players
The purpose of the study was to model the longitudinal development of knee extension (KE) and flexion (KF) strength in adolescent soccer players. A mixed-longitudinal sample composed of 67 soccer players aged 11.0-13.9 years at baseline was followed on three-to-five occasions over 5 years. Stature, body mass and several skinfold thicknesses were measured. Fat mass was estimated from skinfolds and fat-free mass (FFM) derived. Skeletal age was esti…
