The Role of Knowledge and Understanding in Shaping Motivation, Self-Confidence, and Physical Competence in 8–12-Year-Old Students in Physical Education
Physical Literacy (PL) assumes mutual reinforcement between its cognitive, affective, and physical domains. However, the role of the cognitive domain within this framework remains insufficiently explored. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which the level of Knowledge and Understanding is related to Physical Competence, Motivation and Confidence, and Daily Behaviour in children aged 8–12 years. The study also examined whether gr…

Ref! Could You Help Me?’—Building a Positive Climate by Referees during Floorball Competitions in Youth Sport
In creating a positive climate in sport for children and youth, the role of adults is of key importance as their behavior and attitudes determine the experiences and multilateral development of young players. Relatively recently, the importance of the referee in creating a supportive sporting environment has begun to be emphasized. This concerns, in particular, team sports in which the referees interact with players many times and influence the c…
Positive Behavior Management: Assessment of Rugby Referees in Children Sport
During children's sports competitions, the referees play a special role. The referees are expected to be able to identify behavioral problems (of players, coaches, and fans), applying specific techniques to prevent negative behavior of players. Adapting these actions to the specifics of the group or individuals is crucial in providing a safe educational environment that promotes child development. The main objective of this research was to assess…
Self-assessment of football referees on their educational influence on children aged 9–12 during a sports competition
Proper use of the educational potential of sports depends on the entities organizing children’s sports competitions (coaches, parents, referees). Particularly important is their awareness of the purposefulness and legitimacy of actions taken. Numerous studies have been devoted to the role of the coach and parents in providing children and young people with positive sporting experiences. In contrast, the referee has often been overlooked. The beha…
Pedagogical Function of Referees in Youth Sport: Assessment of the Quality of Referee–Player Interactions in Youth Soccer
We assume that all institutions and individuals involved in the organization of sport for children and young people should utilize the educational potential of sport. We assessed the quality of referee interactions with children during sports competitions in soccer. Based on the developmental theory and research suggesting that interactions between kids and adults are the primary mechanism of their development and learning, we focused on the qual…
The Referee as an Educator: Assessment of the Quality of Referee–Players Interactions in Competitive Youth Handball
Sport does not automatically generate educational benefits for players. For a sports field to become a child-friendly educational environment, it is essential that all actors involved in the organization of youth sport take deliberate educational measures. Among these actors are referees, who should be taken into account during the research on the educational value of sport for the youngest. The subject of the present study was handball referees,…

The theoretical part of the article describes the health repercussions of slow movement and its implications for the sports industry and sports tourism. It also points to new challenges in sports management and sports tourism implemented in the slo…
