Comparing E-quizzes (Trivia makerTM) and paper-based tests on cognitive load, usability, and performance outcomes among university students
Background Digital educational platforms have gained notable traction as assessment tools alongside traditional methods. These different assessment tools may impact on several educational and psychological variables. This study investigated the effects of two evaluation modalities, namely Electronic-quizzes and PP, on cognitive load, usability perception, and performance outcomes among university students. Methods In a quasi-experimental pre/post…
Rethinking ethical governance of generative AI in sport pedagogy research
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)—including large language models, image synthesis, and learning analytics tools, is increasingly used in pedagogical research for instructional design, feedback generation, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. However, discipline-specific ethical guidance remains limited, particularly in fields characterized by embodied learning and performance-based pedagogy. In sport sciences, GenAI applications i…
Burnout in medical residents
Introduction Burnout has emerged as a critical threat to healthcare systems, particularly among medical residents who face intense workloads, recurrent night shifts, and emotionally demanding clinical environments. In Tunisia, evidence on the interplay between occupational, psychological, and lifestyle determinants of burnout remains limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of burnout among Tunisian medical residents and to identify …
Multi-criteria decision-making in soccer
Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have been increasingly applied in football to support complex managerial and performance-related decisions; however, a comprehensive mapping of the research landscape is still lacking. This study examines the evolution of MCDM research in football by identifying publication trends, influential authors, leading institutions, collaboration networks, and emerging thematic clusters. A bibliometric analysi…
Physical activity and marital satisfaction among teachers
Background/objectives Marital satisfaction is influenced by various intrapersonal and environmental factors. The present study explores the associations between physical activity and marital satisfaction in a sample of Tunisian married teachers, examining the mediating roles of body esteem, sexual self-esteem, and psychological distress, with spirituality acting as a psychosocial resource. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 924 ma…
Engagement factors affect academic success through study approaches among physical education and sport university students
Introduction University students should engage with the study and ensure they adopt productive study approaches, but the nature of relationships between engagement and study approaches are under-researched. The study aimed to investigate how emotional, cognitive, and behavioral engagement affect academic success through study approaches among physical education and sports students. Methods Online forms were submitted by 488 students in physical e…
The impact of intermittent fasting during Ramadan on psychomotor and cognitive skills in adolescent athletes
Introduction Intermittent fasting (IF) represents a dietary intervention similar to caloric restriction, characterized by the strategic limitation of food consumption. Among the diverse array of practices for IF, Ramadan IF (RIF), a religious observance in Islam, mandates that healthy adult Muslims abstain from both food and drinks during daylight hours. In sports, researchers have extensively studied IF effects on health, including sleep and phy…
Balance and deep connections
To date, no research has examined the relationship between sexual self-esteem, body self-esteem, psychological distress, marital satisfaction, and engagement in physical activities. Through a study involving 443 adults the aim of this research was to analyze the connections between engaging in physical activities, body self-esteem, sexual self-esteem, marital satisfaction, and psychological distress among adults. The results obtained through Part…
Effectiveness of Video Modeling in Improving Technical Skills in Young Novice Basketball Players
(1) Objective: This is a quasi-experimental study that investigated the effect of four weeks of training sessions using video modeling (VM) on individual and collective technical skills in young novice basketball players. (2) Method: 20 players were equally assigned to either a control group (CG, n = 10; 12 ± 0.7 years) or a video modeling group (VMG, n = 10; 12.5 ± 0.5 years; visualizing videos before each session) were assessed before and after…
Modelling the associations between academic engagement, study process and grit on academic achievement of physical education and sport university students
Academic engagement as well as study processes are two important factors predicting academic achievement while grit seems to be not a major predictor. Hence, physical education and sport faculty and university administrators should prioritize student engagement as a determinant of academic outcomes by reforming or redesigning physical education and sport curriculum modules that can facilitate engagement
Initial Development and Psychometric Evidence of Physical Education Grit Scale (PE-Grit)
Background Grit is a key concept in positive psychology and educational science. The construct measures two related constructs that are interest and effort. Several instruments have been developed to measure this construct in professional and educational contexts, but no tools have been developed considering specific contexts such as physical education and sport. Objectives The objective of this study is to develop and test a measurement scale to…
Development and Preliminary Validation of the Physical Education-Study Process Questionnaire
Background: The Revised Two Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) is used to examine students' study approaches in higher education. The questionnaire is designed to measure two factors: deep and surface approaches. In order to measure these approaches for students in physical education and sport, a new measurement instrument should take into consideration the practical context of this field of education that makes it specific to other fi…
Initial Psychometric Evidence of Physical Inactivity Perceived Experience Scale (Pipes)
Aims: Our study aimed to develop a two-factor self-administered orthogonal questionnaire to assess the experience of perceived physical inactivity, to test its psychometric properties, to confirm its relationships with fear of COVID-19, and finally, with perceived stress during the pandemic. Methods: A total of 481 Tunisian subjects collected in several cities, aged from 16 to 67 years with a mean age = 32.48 ± 9.46, and of both sexes participate…
Effect of Taekwondo Practice on Cognitive Function in Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuro-developmental/behavioral disorders among adolescents. Sport and physical activity seem to play a major role in the development of cognition, memory, selective attention and motor reaction time, especially among adolescents with ADHD. In this context, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a one-and-a-half-year-long Taekwondo (TKD) intervention o…
