Evaluating the Impact of a Laboratory-Based Program on Children’s Coordination Skills Using the Mabc-2
The aim of this study was to verify the effects of laboratory learning on children’s fundamental movement skills (FMS) through an intervention designed and implemented by specially trained generalist teachers. A total of 114 children attending 1st and 2nd grade of primary school (6.7 ± 0.8 yo) and 28 children attending preschool (4.1 ± 0.9 yo) in Naples (Italy) participated in the study. To assess FMS, the Movement ABC-2 (MABC-2) was administered…
Agonism and performance in adolescent football players in informal physical education settings
Football is one of the most widely practiced sports in the world, and competition significantly influences athletic performance, especially in adolescents who experience emotional pressure that impacts their performance through the management of performance-related stress. Physical education is integrated within the school curriculum, but it is also typically delivered in sports associations engaged in competitive activities, which become informa…
Scientific identity and epistemology of movement, exercise, and sport sciences through the analysis of scientific production of Italian full professors
This study addresses the epistemological and identity challenges encountered by Movement, Exercise, and Sport Sciences (MEaSS) in Italy, particularly concerning the organization of scientific knowledge within academic contexts. MEaSS struggles to define its scientific identity and address epistemological concerns due to the concurrent operation of its academic scientific disciplines (ASD) within both biomedical and pedagogical domains. This situa…
Assessment of Motor Performance and Self-Perceived Psychophysical Well-Being in Relation to Body Mass Index in Italian Adolescents
this study supports the importance of physical sport activity to regulate excess weight but also contribute to better psychophysical well-being
Heuristic Learning as a Method for Improving Students’ Teamwork Skills in Physical Education
Transversal skills are the knowledge, skills, and personal qualities that are currently needed to meet the demands of the working world and everyday life. Schools have the task of equipping students with these skills, working not only on disciplinary goals but also on operational-behavioral goals. In 2018, the European Union adopted new recommendations on eight key competencies for lifelong learning and asked schools to implement new methods to d…
Effect of Teaching Methods on Motor Efficiency, Perceptions and Awareness in Children
Currently, physical inactivity and sedentariness in children are becoming increasingly common, resulting in children’s poor ability to perform basic motor patterns. It is important to find strategies that instructors can adopt to improve awareness of the importance of physical activity for health and wellness, as well as motor efficiency. Two teaching methods can be used: prescriptive teaching and heuristic learning. The aim of this study was to …
Promoting Children’s Psychomotor Development with Multi-Teaching Didactics
This group randomized control trial examined the dose-response effect of varied combinations of linear and nonlinear pedagogy (enriched physical education with specific program led by specialist vs. conventional physical education led by generalist) for improving first-grade children's motor creativity, executive functions, self-efficacy, and learning enjoyment. We led three physical education classes per group through 12 weeks of combined instru…
An Exploratory Study in Non-Professional Football on the Perception of Stakeholders about the New Working Professional Profile of Sports Kinesiologist
In Italy, recent amendments to Legislative Decree n. 36 of 28 February 2021, on sports work, may have made the application of the reform by stakeholders unclear, with the risk of generating further confusion among them. One of the most critical points concerns the possible equivalencies to the professional profile of the kinesiologist, which would be illegitimately recognized even for a different level of education, contrary to the requirements o…
