Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this presentation is to report the results from a series of standardized exercises administered to experienced, disaster-emergency-responders on their “operational readiness.” Based on original research with Olympic athletes, these results include: a frontline-perspective of challenges in a disaster; a quantitative definition of “readiness;” and the creation of related performance indicators. A growing body of literature has drawn attention to the significance of mental-readiness skills in attaining peak performance in challenging situations. For example, we know that top-level athletes have particularly well-honed mental-readiness skills and that this fact has often separated those who win a gold medal from those who do not. In recent years, this research has been extended to other occupations, including the field of surgery, policing, and now disaster-emergency-response, and similar results were found. For example, in the study entitled “Gold Medal Policing: Mental Readiness and Performance Excellence” (McDonald, 2006), peak-performing police officers demonstrated excellent technical and physical skills but excelled in mental readiness skills. Traditionally, the focus of most core-competencies has been on the technical and physical skills necessary to perform the duties. Given what we now know about the significance of mental-readiness skills, we can specifically develop and formally recognize these skills. That is, in addition to seeking the technical and physical skills required of a job, particular emphasis is places on refining the mental skills that ultimately makes the difference between satisfactory performance and peak performance. The goal of any field-training, is to produce a competent, independent, functioning frontline-responder. Such a responder will demonstrate concrete, observable “performance indicators.” Current research on peak performers has been integrated into developing comprehensive performance indicators. This outcome can benefit the recruitment, selection, training and evaluation of professions seeking to enter into the unique world of disaster emergency medicine.

The workload is the difference between the ability of workers with job demands. If the ability of workers is higher than the demands of the job, then boredom will appear, and vice versa. The method used is the NASA TLX method, and the instrument used is the NASA-TLX questionnaire given to 16 respondents. Results and Discussion The average of the six indicators of shift 1 is an indicator of mental needs with an average value of 146.88, an indicator of physical needs with an average value of 237.5, an indicator of time needs with an average value of 140, a performance indicator with a value of an average of 119.38, an indicator of the level of effort with an average value of 247.88, an indicator of the level of frustration with an average value of 82.5. In conclusion, the mental workload level of the production workers for both shifts is included in the high workload category. The dominant indicators for the activities of the first shift workers in the production section are the level of effort indicators, indicators of physical needs, indicators of mental needs, indicators of time requirements, and performance indicators. . The dominant indicators in worker activity in Shift II in the production section are indicators of physical needs, levels of effort, indicators of time requirements, indicators of mental needs, performance indicators, and the last indicator is frustration.

Purpose:To examine the relationship between the South Carolina middle school physical education assessment results and the school characteristics. In addition, the relationship between teacher training attendance and student achievement were determined.Method:Student performance on four physical education indicators in 63 middle schools (and 116 teachers) were reported to the South Carolina Physical Education Assessment Program. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between school characteristics as predictors of the performance indicator. ANOVAs were conducted to determine the relationship to teacher training and the performance indicators.Results:Statewide averages of student performance indicated that slightly over 50% of middle school students were rated as competent in all physical education indicators except health-related fitness (31.2%). The variability was high among all indicators. The correlations between the poverty index and the physical education indicators were significant and low. Teachers who attended data collection training sessions scored higher on all performance indicators, particularly health-related fitness knowledge. Teachers who attended professional development had significantly higher scores on motor skills, health-related fitness knowledge, and the overall weighted scores and approached significance on the health-related fitness performance.Discussion/Conclusion:This study suggests that teachers and the programs they deliver have a greater impact on student learning than do school characteristics. Teacher training and professional development is warranted. Most compelling is that the results of this study provide a strong argument against the practice of using student scores from other academic content areas to evaluate teacher effectiveness in physical education.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional methods used to estimate an individual's physical working capacity have at least one disadvantage in common, namely, the demand for expensive equipment such as cycle ergometers or treadmills. Consequently, the search for suitable tests performed in the field has been extensive. Most field tests do, however, require a maximal performance from the subject. The present investigation compared two special field rests, walking and running, both of a submaximal character, with (a) a treadmill run test and (b) a standardized cycle ergometer test. The comparisons were made to judge whether these field tests have the potential to replace or complement laboratory tests in certain situations, for example, when the purpose is to monitor training progress over time. Correlations were generally high and statistically significant within as well as between tests. Higher values were observed between field running and the laboratory tests than with field walking. This was true especially for the higher reference levels. Despite this, field walking may still be the best alternative for elderly persons or subjects recovering from injury, since the results indicate that walking, when performed intensely enough, gives a fairly good estimate of an individual's physical working capacity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the physical and financial performance of some primary dairy co-operatives in West Bengal state in India. It suggests that financial performance indicators dominate over physical ones, and all the dominating variables have long term positive impact on Primary milk Producers’ Cooperative Societies (PMPCSs). The significant impact of financial performance variables contributes to high profit efficiency for all primary dairy cooperative societies under study. When the profit efficiency is measured only on the basis of financial performance indicators the score of efficiency for all the PMPCSs lies between 90% and 100% level suggesting that all PMPCSs perform well when the performance of PMPCSs is judged only on the basis of financial performance indicators. But when they are judged by the combined effect of both physical and financial performance indicators, all PMPCSs are not performing well because the impact of physical performance variables differs significantly among them. These results seem to suggest that in order to strengthen the dairy development programme on co-operative line at the primary level more emphasis should be given to these dominating physical and financial performance variables in general and physical dominating variables in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Two different, commercial colourimetric CO2 indicators are made in the lab, namely one based on an indicator in solution for monitoring the level of dissolved CO2 in an aquarium, i.e., a drop check indicator, and another based on an ink, for monitoring the level of CO2 in breath (capnography), i.e., a correct tracheal placement indicator. The selected commercial indicators are limited currently in terms of the analytical information they provide (qualitative) as they are normally assessed by eye. Thus, in each case, for both the lab-made and commercial indicators, colour photography coupled with digital image analysis, i.e., digital colour analysis (DCA), is used to convert the colour data from the indicator into a quantitative measure of CO2 and so markedly improve the quality of the analytical information provided by original indicator. This is the first time either indicator has been studied as a quantitative analytical system. The CO2 sensitivity of each of the lab-made indicators is found to match well that of its commercial counterpart. A simple program is provided to help non-experts and experts alike to apply DCA in this way. The potential of DCA to enhance the performance of other commercial indicators is discussed briefly.

Full textAbstract:
CrossFit® began as another exercise program to improve physical fitness and has rapidly grown into the “sport of fitness”. However, little is understood as to the physiological indicators that determine CrossFit® sport performance. The purpose of this study was to determine which physiological performance measure was the greatest indicator of CrossFit® workout performance. Male (n = 12) and female (n = 5) participants successfully completed a treadmill graded exercise test to measure maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), a 3-minute all-out running test (3MT) to determine critical speed (CS) and the finite capacity for running speeds above CS (D′), a Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT) to assess anaerobic peak and mean power, the CrossFit® total to measure total body strength, as well as the CrossFit® benchmark workouts: Fran, Grace, and Nancy. It was hypothesized that CS and total body strength would be the greatest indicators of CrossFit® performance. Pearson’s r correlations were used to determine the relationship of benchmark performance data and the physiological performance measures. For each benchmark-dependent variable, a stepwise linear regression was created using significant correlative data. For the workout Fran, back squat strength explained 42% of the variance. VO2max explained 68% of the variance for the workout Nancy. Lastly, anaerobic peak power explained 57% of the variance for performance on the CrossFit® total. In conclusion, results demonstrated select physiological performance variables may be used to predict CrossFit® workout performance.

Рассматривается возможность применения показателей физической работоспособности как инструмента оценки эффективности предсоревновательных сборов. В ходе исследования выявлено, что по окончании предсоревновательных сборов футболисты повысили уровень физической работоспособности. Средние значения показателя PWC170 улучшились на 5,0%, а показателя МПК на 3.5%. Анализ показателей физической работоспособности в группах игроков разного амплуа по итогам сборов выявил, что показатель PWC170 у полузащитников и нападающих несколько выше, чем у вратарей и защитников. Аналогичная структура выявлена и для показателя максимального потребления кислорода. The possibility of using physical performance indicators as a tool for evaluating the effectiveness of pre-competition fees is being considered. During the study, it was revealed that after the end of the pre-competitive training camps, the players increased their level of physical performance. The average values of the PWC170 indicator improved by 50%, and the maximum oxygen consumption indicator by 3.5%. Analysis of physical performance indicators in groups of players of different roles following the training camp revealed that the PWC170 indicator for midfielders and forwards is slightly higher than for goalkeepers and defenders. A similar trend was found for the indicator of maximum oxygen consumption.

Abstract The aims of this study were (1) to determine the match running performance required by different teams based on their final ranking position and (2) to analyze the association between match running performance variables and team success at the end of the season. A total of 1,224 match observations from professional soccer teams competing during two consecutive seasons in the German Bundesliga were analyzed. In addition, the final league ranking position and the total of points obtained by each team at the end of the season were registered for the analysis of the association between team success and match running performance. The main findings were that high ranked teams covered the greatest total distance with ball possession, sprinting distance with ball possession, and completed the greatest number of sprinting actions with ball possession and maximal velocity. Moreover, total distance covered with possession of the ball and maximal velocity were the most important variables to predict the total of points obtained at the end of the season. Specifically, the relative contribution of total distance covered with ball possession to the total of points obtained was greater than maximal velocity. Training programs for professional soccer players should be focused on improving the sprint capacity and running with possession of the ball (e.g., transitional tasks and small-sided games). Moreover, this has implications for injury prevention, physical, psychological, and technical-tactical training since today’s soccer requires players to engage in repeated high-intensity actions, reach maximum speeds above 9 m/s, and develop technical-tactical coordination when running with the ball.

Alienation from physical education causes students to withdraw emotionally and physically from participation in classes. In addition, belief in one’s competence in physical activity and physical fitness appears to influence both participation in physical activity and fitness levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between physical factors (fitness performance and strength measures), psychological factors (alienation from physical education and two types of perceived physical competence), gender, and age in middle school children. Participants in this study were 242 children (138 girls, 104 boys) enrolled in 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade physical education classes. Data were collected on alienation from physical education; perceived competence toward physical fitness and toward physical activity; and grip strength, standing long jump, mile run, percent body fat, and body mass index. Using factor scores, a two-step regression procedure revealed that (a) gender and perceived fitness competence were significant predictors (p < .05) of fitness, explaining 41% of the variance, and (b) age, alienation, and perceived physical activity competence were significant predictors of strength, explaining 25% of the variance. Independent of gender and age, the psychological variables of perceived physical competence toward fitness and alienation are related to physical performance. Highly alienated youth were less fit, and children with lower perceptions of physical competence were less fit.

Physical fitness is a powerful indicator of health. Sleep condition plays an essential role in maintaining quality of life and is an important marker that predicts physical fitness. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep conditions (sleep quality, sleep duration, bedtime) and multiple physical fitness indicators (body mass index (BMI), flexibility, abdominal muscle strength and endurance, cardiopulmonary endurance) in a well-characterized population of Taiwanese adults aged 23 to 65. The applied data were obtained from the National Physical Fitness Examination Survey 2014 conducted in Taiwan. We assessed the association of the sleep conditions with physical fitness performances in Taiwanese adults by using the multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) method with a total of 69,559 samples. The results show that sleep duration, sleep quality, and bedtime were statistically significant influence factors on physical fitness performances with different degrees. Gender was an important factor that affects the effects of daily sleep conditions on performances of physical fitness. Sleep duration was the most important factor as it was simultaneously correlated with BMI, sit-ups, and sit-and-reach indicators in both genders. Bedtime and sleep quality were only associated with sit-ups performance in both genders.

AbstractIntroduction. The aim of the research was to assess the changes in the main physical performance indicators, i.e. maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), the threshold of anaerobic changes (AT) and “exercise efficiency” (oxygen consumption/power; VO2/ WR) in amateur mountain bikers in the preparatory period. In addition, diagnostic usefulness was made of selected respiratory, circulatory and metabolic parameters to assess the training progress in cycling.Materials and methods. Thirty-six men training in amateur mountain biking took part in the research. Each of them underwent three ergospirometry tests at the beginning, in the middle (after 7 weeks) and at the end of the preparatory period (after 14 weeks). The results obtained at the AT threshold and at maximum effort were analysed to check how physical training in the preparatory period affected selected exercise parameters.Results. No significant changes in the VO2max value were observed during the preparatory period, but a significant increase in this indicator (in absolute terms and in terms of body weight) was found at the AT level. An increase was noted in power as well as in measured metabolic, ventilation and circulatory parameters with the exception of heart rate and ventilation equivalent oxygen. VO2/WR decreased, which indicates an improvement in the effectiveness of the effort.Conclusions. For Polish amateur cyclists with extensive training experience, the most diagnostic indicators in the preparatory period include improving the AT threshold (shift towards higher % VO2max and higher generated power) and increasing exercise efficiency.

The objective of the research was to test the effectiveness of the fitness program «WAY TO A HEALTHY LIFE». Indicators of morphofunctional and physical condition of students during quarantine restrictions were studied. The total number of respondents was 926 students (474 girls and 452 boys) from four higher education institutions in Ukraine. To implement the fitness program, the authors developed a model of physical education of students for the period of distance learning. To obtain the necessary information, we used general scientific research methods, namely: analysis of scientific and methodological sources, pedagogical modeling, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical observation, research methods of functional and physical condition of students, expert evaluation method, mathematical statistics methods, SWOT analysis. Five tests characterizing morphofunctional indicators were selected by the method of expert assessment (Stange test; Genchi test; body mass index; Ruffier-Dickson’s index; Harvard step test) and seven tests that characterize the indicators of physical development of students (exercises for arm strength; exercise for dexterity, exercise for speed; exercise for the development of abs; exercise for endurance, standing long-jump, Burpie’s test). The experimental research showed that out of five tests that characterize the level of development of morphofunctional signs of the body’s activity, the girls had improvement in four and the boys in three indicators. Other morphofunctional indicators remained at the previous level. Of the seven tests that characterize the level of development of different physical qualities, significant positive changes were observed in the performance of four exercises in girls and two exercises in boys, maintenance of the level of physical development occurred in the performance of two exercises in girls and four exercises in boys. Only the performance of endurance exercises in girls and boys showed negative dynamics. The SWOT-analysis showed the effectiveness of using the fitness program «WAY TO A HEALTHY LIFE» during distance learning.

Background: The article raises a topical scientific problem regarding the physical inactivity and low physical capacity of the elderly population, the indicators of which, according to researchers in old age, can help predict institutionalization, disability, or even the risk of premature death. Various organizations around the world are striving to increase the number of physically active people by raising awareness and developing preventive measures. In this study, we looked for optimal activities that can effectively improve the physical capacity and quality of life self assessment of older people. Methods: Eurofit tests were used to assess physical capacity (Jones, & Rikli, 2002). The study assessed the physical capacity of elderly people to determine body composition, motor system capacity, skeletal muscle capacity, and cardiovascular capacity. A shortened version of the WHO questionnaire (World Health Organization Quality of Life 100 - WHOQOL-100), WHO-BREF-26 was used to assess quality of life (World Health Organization, 2012). Results: The indicators of quality of life of the subjects did not improve in a statistically significant way after physically energetic activities – exercise, swimming and Nordic walking. The indicators of physical capacity of the subjects improved in a statistically significant way after physically energetic activities. The three-month exercise increased hand muscle strength and body composition, swimming activity increased hand muscle strength, upper body flexibility and motor system performance indicators, Nordic walking statistically significantly improved upper body flexibility. Conclusions: Different physical activity activities significantly improve different components of physicalcapacity. Keywords: physical activity, elderly people, physical capacity.

Parks can offer varied services to human well-being, including recreational services (RS); however, there is insufficient understanding of park differences concerning the actual performance of their varied RS. To fill this gap, this study aimed to develop a set of performance indicators as a tool for comparing the functional efficacy of RS among different parks. The indicators covered three aspects of RS: recreational usage of various physical activities, their recreational satisfaction level and the collective performance rating. These indicators were applied in a case study of four parks in Guangzhou, China, based upon on-site observation and a questionnaire survey. The functional difference of these indicators was compared and the collective indicator was found to be able to effectively capture different efficacies of urban parks in supporting varied RS. Results show all the parks were far from reaching the maximum performance of designed RS, so it is worthy of consideration by urban managers to further improve their RS efficacy. In addition, the overall spatial design and configuration were inferred to be essential for improving the RS efficacy of urban parks, but not park size nor ornamental vegetation. The findings offered valuable evidence for the optimal spatial design and management of urban parks.

The problem of optimization of construction at all stages of the life cycle of a construction object is one of the most significant. The solution to this problem is the introduction of cyber-physical systems and technologies. The issues of introducing digital tools in construction have been of long-term interest to both researchers and practitioners, since these processes provide construction companies with additional economic benefits, reduce lead times and improve the quality of finished construction products. The article defines the main types of cyber-physical systems and technologies that have the potential for development the economy in the context of digitalization, identifies the main problems of introducing digital tools by small construction enterprises, systematizes and groups indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of their implementation. The authors propose three groups of performance indicators, including performance indicators of construction processes at the stages of the life cycle, performance indicators for the implementation of a construction process management system based on information systems and technologies, performance evaluation indicators for the implementation of investment projects for the implementation of cyber-physical systems and technologies in construction. The results of the study can be used to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of construction processes based on the introduction of cyber-physical systems and technologies.

The evaluation of physical fitness in team sports is enjoying greater importance in the training of professional teams. The objectives of this research were to characterize physical fitness and game indicators based on the game position. This is an empirical study, with a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional methodology. In addition, different relationships between the level of physical fitness and the game indicators during the competition were determined. Finally, a predictive analysis of the selected variables was carried out in order to know the importance of the variables in the performance and at what time of the season they had the greatest impact. For this, a professional female basketball team (n = 12) with a mean age of 25.25 ± 7.617 years, height 178.25 ± 9.206 cm and a body mass of 72.33 ± 11.657 kg was analyzed. Each player was equipped with a WIMUPRO inertial device, and all competition statistics were analyzed. The results obtained show that there were no differences among all the skills evaluated and game indicators depending on the game position. Likewise, a relationship was determined between the level of physical fitness and the technical–tactical contribution, being different between different times of the season. Moreover, physical fitness only predicted the player’s final performance in the competition for female player centers in the first and second rounds of the championship, and for forwards in the first round. Four physical-physiological profiles with contributions to the different ones during the competition were also determined. Finally, three groups of female players by playing position were identified according to their sport performance, namely PIR, high, medium and low ratings, associated with physical performances. In all groups, there were significant differences between playing positions, PIR and physical performances.

Physical inactivity is currently a significant problem in Western societies. Among the many factors that affect the amount of physical activity in children, socioeconomic status, the type of school, and the area where they live can play a major role in physical development. A total of 31,620 children (6.3 ± 0.53 years; 15,726 boys; 15,893 girls), representing 55.6 % of the entire Slovak population of first graders, participated in eight motor performance (MP) tests, the results of which were correlated with somatic parameters (body height, body weight, and body mass index (BMI)) and socioeconomic indicators (SEIs) within the children’s respective territorial regions. The largest correlations were observed between MP and unemployment rate (r = −0.802) and between MP and economically active population with primary education (r = −0.807). Other correlations between MP and SEIs were also found at the level of self-governing regions (r = 0.995) and districts (r = 0.551). SEIs and MP were strongly correlated, indicating that children who grow up in better socioeconomic environments display greater MP. Therefore, national and local governments should provide tangible and intangible resources to enable the proper development of children’s MP.

Increasing numbers of children with ASD, high social significance, and economic benefits on the one hand, and single, contradictory and disparate data on capabilities of children with ASD on the other make relevant comprehensive studies of indicators of their development. Participants: 18 children with ASD aged 11-13 years (main group - MG), and 30 children aged 11-12 years without ASD (control group - CG). 11 tests were used to assess the level of fitness. Functional reserve of the cardiovascular system was determined by the degree of recovery of heart rate after metered exercise (30 squats for 45 seconds). Motor activity was determined according to the results of the self-report of the children themselves (and their caregivers). Statistical analysis. The indicators of children with RAS were compared with the normative values and indicators of children without RAS. The discrepancy was determined by the Mann-Whitney test. Results. There was no relationship between physical activity volume and the relative body mass of students with ASD. Low levels of physical performance of the cardiovascular system of schoolchildren were accompanied by low levels of physical activity. The level of school readiness of pupils with ASD in the test on the speed of spelling of the letter "O" and in the clap in the palm corresponded to the indicators of 6-year-old children. There was a significant significant lag in all tests of physical fitness of schoolchildren of MG by indicators of CG. Conclusions. In terms of body weight, body length and relative body mass, students with ASD and without ASD are similar. Physical activity of students of MG is significantly lower than that of CG. Students with ASD are characterized by significant delays in the process of writing-related motor skills. The rating of lagging physical qualities at schoolchildren with ASD was established. It is not confirmed that the biggest differences between MG and CG are observed in balancing. Keywords: physical qualities, motor readiness for school, autism, motor skills

Full textAbstract:
Athletes, like all people, have special nutritional needs based on their age, lifestyle, health status, level of physical activity, physical conditioning, and type of sport. The diets of many athletes are inadequate due to overly restrictive eating habits, nutrition misinformation, dietary fads, and/or obsession with weight and food. There is a growing need for sports nutrition counseling and education to help athletes improve their eating habits. However, before attempting to develop intervention strategies, sports nutritionists should assess the metabolic changes that take place during exercise and how these changes affect nutrition status. In addition, it is important to consider how psychosocial factors may influence an athlete's eating habits and his/her ability to make positive changes. A two-pronged model is introduced that can be used as a guide for the practitioner in interpreting relevant data and integrating physiological and psychological considerations for the design of individualized nutrition care plans for athletes.

Full textAbstract:
One major influence on the future deployment of cellular networks will be a continuous increase in traffic inside mobile broadband systems. Moreover, traditional macrocell-based mobile communication networks will struggle to keep up with the enormous expansion in the demand for communications services in the future. Densification of networks is required if we are to meet the comprehensive needs for end terminals for a wide range of applications. One of the leading concepts in this competitive environment is the Ultra-Dense Network (UDN) where the access nodes and/or the communication links per unit area are densified, with the aim of improving overall network performance. The location of the UDN nodes meets the criteria for symmetry with a high probability. Ultra-dense cell deployment aims to reduce the physical distance between the transmitter and receiver in order to boost system performance and generally optimize the values of a wide variety of key performance indicators (KPIs). This paper aims to provide a taxonomy of UDNs and specifically of UDN-related KPIs. Initially, we address the complex questions “What is the current understanding of what ultra-dense networks are and what they should be, and how can we measure their performance?” by shedding light on the fundamental characteristics of UDNs.

The study was attempted to measure the economic performance of cooperative sugar factories in terms of total costs and returns, capacity utilization, physical and financial indicators and ratio analysis of the factories. In this study the three cooperative sugar factories are taken into consideration and the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for all the physical and financial indicators are worked out wherein the results suggested that a significant variation in the total cost and returns, capacity utilization and both physical and financial indicators over years within the three sugar factories was found. Further, the study revealed enough evidence about the financial ratios, which in turn showed the economic potentiality of the respective sugar factories. For the better performance of the factories an efficient planning and automation well before the start of the season is necessary and the government should come forward to help the farmers in making the cane bill payment at an early stage by the factories, by extending the financial assistance.

High school physical education programs in South Carolina have undergone a major reform effort which was implemented through extensive staff development called the Physical Education Institute (PEI). How to teach toward student performance indicators became the focus of the in-services. This study identified factors that facilitated or hindered implementing the performance indicators, and examined the extent to which key players from three selected programs of secondary physical education were able to achieve the goals of the reform effort. Data were collected through interviews, document analysis, and videotaping lessons. Results reveal that “lead teachers” facilitated the extent to which programs met the goals of reform. The teaching/coaching role conflict was a main hindrance. Each school and teacher met each of the student performance indicators to varying degrees. Implications include the need for a shared reform, holding teachers and students accountable, and the need for administrators and university faculty to be involved.

The purpose of the work was to study the application of individual performance indicators in the State Targeted Social Program for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports until 2020 as an important aspect of compliance with state social standards and guarantees for the provision of social services in physical culture and sports and its effectiveness. Materials and methods. The study used theoretical analysis, systematization and generalization of scientific literature, documentary sources and guidelines in the field of physical education and identified the main problems of the physical training system. Results and discussion. The central executive body did not provide the use of available pre-published and statistically sound reference indicators, did not analyze its own statistics on the development of reserve sports and statistics of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine on the permanent deterioration of the demographic situation of the population of Ukraine. As a result, it was not possible to create conditions for training in children’s and youth sports schools for 270,506 children aged 6 to 18, which, in our opinion, made it impossible to form a full-fledged reserve sport. At the same time, even the increase in funding by the leadership of the united territorial communities in 2020 could not affect the development of reserve sports by attracting up to 13 percent of children and youth aged 6 to 18 to classes in children’s and youth sports schools and made it impossible to comply with state social standards. Conclusion. In the course of our study, the indicators of the effectiveness of the State Targeted Social Program and the dynamics of growth of reserve sports were analyzed and the destructive factors that affect the effectiveness of the formation of reserve sports were identified. Among other things, the use of knowingly inaccurate professionally unsubstantiated data for the formation of some basic and at the same time socially significant indicators of reserve sports growth in the State Targeted Social Program was revealed, as a result of which youth sports schools in terms of their funding, the number of which as of 2020 decreased from to 1231 children’s and youth sports schools instead of 1298 children’s and youth sports schools planned for funding in the State Targeted Social Program

Introduction. The research relevance is due to the need to improve the process of physical education of school teenagers by taking into account the specifics of physical performance in a wide range of available loads and the degree of puberty. The research purpose is to reveal the features of physical performance and motor fitness of schoolchildren aged 13-15 at different puberty stages (PSs), manifested in different relative power zones. Materials and methods. The study involved school teenagers aged 13-15 (n=168), assigned to the main medical group for health reasons. A complex of functional and motor tests was used to assess physical performance and motor fitness. Differences determined by Student’s t-test were considered significant at p<0.05. Results. An analysis of changes in physical performance in the maximum power zone showed that it significantly increases during puberty: when moving from PS I to V, an increase (t=3.09–13.06; ps<0.01–0.001) of all indicators used was observed. A similar situation was observed when working in the submaximal power zone. With an increase in the level of puberty, there was a general improvement in performance (t=2.81-9.14; ps<0.05-0.001). In the high power zone, differences between PSs I and V were revealed only in relation to PWC170 (t=10.29; p<0.001) and six-minute run (t=4.25; p<0.001). In the moderate power zone, the results of the Cooper test (t=7.92; p<0.001) and watt-pulse – WP (t=2.64; p<0.05) improved, the indicator of aerobic capacity decreased – coefficient b of Muller’s equation (t=5.48; p<0.001). In the maximum and submaximal power zones, there was a progressive increase in the integral performance ratings from PS I to V, while in the high and moderate power zones, the maximum level of functionality was observed at PS III. Conclusion. The results obtained give grounds to assume that in physical education lessons at school, when using extra-curricular and out-of-school forms of physical exercise, it is necessary to combine teenagers with the same indicators of biological maturity into one subgroup and, taking this into account, select means and methods for increasing physical performance, developing physical condition and parameters of various metabolic physical activities. The standards for assessing the physical performance and motor fitness of school teenagers of the same passport age should also be developed separately for the initial and final puberty stages.

Exoskeletons have been assessed by qualitative and quantitative features known as performance indicators. Within these, the ergonomic indicators have been isolated, creating a lack of methodologies to analyze and assess physical interfaces. In this sense, this work presents a three-dimensional relative motion assessment method. This method quantifies the difference of orientation between the user’s limb and the exoskeleton link, providing a deeper understanding of the Human–Robot interaction. To this end, the AGoRA exoskeleton was configured in a resistive mode and assessed using an optoelectronic system. The interaction quantified a difference of orientation considerably at a maximum value of 41.1 degrees along the sagittal plane. It extended the understanding of the Human–Robot Interaction throughout the three principal human planes. Furthermore, the proposed method establishes a performance indicator of the physical interfaces of an exoskeleton.

Introduction: The identification of physical capacity is an important marker related to healthy behavior during childhood and adolescence, in which some factors appear to contribute to motor performance such as maturation and hormonal levels. Objective: To compare growth indicators, physical capacity and hormonal markers according to gender and maturational stage in adolescents. Methods: Eighty-nine adolescents of both genders aged 10-13 years participated in the study. Sexual maturation was evaluated using the Tanner’s self-evaluation method. Physical capacity (explosive strength of upper and lower limbs, upper limb velocity and agility) and hormonal markers (testosterone and estradiol) were evaluated through the chemiluminescence method. Results: In the comparison by gender, girls had higher weight (p = 0.023), height (p = 0.018) and fat percentage values (p = 0.001), while boys presented better motor performance for the explosive strength of upper limbs (p = 0.005) and lower limbs (p = 0.011), agility (0.018) and upper limb velocity (p = 0.014). Regarding maturational stage, boys did not present differences in any variable analyzed; (Stage V versus I), height (stage III, IV and V versus I) and upper limb explosive strength (stage III and IV versus I). Conclusion: Growth, weight and height, as well as explosive strength of upper limbs were higher in girls at more advanced maturational stages and appear to be gender dependent.

The social progress of Ukrainian society directly depends on the health of the population, and the prospects for its development depend on the health of the younger generation, especially school-age children. Since school age is the most favorable for the formation of healthy lifestyle skills, a conscious attitude to one's health, the desire to maintain and improve its level throughout later life. Unfortunately, the level of physical health of children and adolescents has been steadily deteriorating recently. Issues of increasing physical development and correcting the physical health of children of different ages due to the introduction of innovative means, methods and forms of physical education into the process of physical education. Modern living conditions place high demands on physical health and protective capabilities of the human body. The article describes indicators of physical health of middle school childrens.
The analysis of the data of the primary study of students of the main groups revealed an average level of physical health among childrens of 6th grades and lower than average among childrens of 7‒8th grades. In terms of age, it was established that mostly the scores of 8th graders are significantly higher than the results of 6th and 7th graders (р˂0.05‒0.001). An exception is the indicators of the level of development of strength, speed and speed endurance of the muscles of the back and abdominal press, according to which the results of the 8th grade students are significantly lower than the data of the 6th and 7th grade students (р˂0.001). In terms of gender, it was found that the boys' performance is better than the girls', but it is mostly not reliable (p>0.05). An exception is the weight and height indicators of 8th graders; the results of the 6th and 8th grade childrens examination; Heart rate during the first 15 s of the recovery period after exercise (P₂) of childrens in grades 7-8; Heart rate during the last 15 s of the first minute of recovery (P₃) of 7th graders and lifting of the torso to the seat of 6th graders, between which differences by gender are reliable (р˂0.05‒0.001).

Purpose. This study aims to find an equation for accurately predicting the skills of spike skill beating (straight and diagonal), and the blocking skills about specific physical measures physical and kinetic skills of volleyball players. The skill of spike and skill blocking is one of the basic skills in volleyball, whose performance requires high compatibility and balance between physical measurements and physical skills
Material and Methodology. Moreover, monitoring shows that no statistical equation predicts the punch and squeezes talents that hinder the volleyball sector for the age group (14-16). In the youth volleyballers centers in Erbil, the number of players was (75) out of (106) participants (76% of the total population). 25 Players were excluded because they did not complete the test requirements.
Results. The manuscript reached the following results: It was possible to identify the values of some physical measurements and physical and motor abilities affecting the level of accuracy test performance of the skill of spike (straight and diagonal).
And through the logical analysis of the regression of anthropometric indicators and physical and motor abilities
The regression equation for the first indicator was: Ŷ = a + b x
The second indicator is: Ŷ = a + b1 x1 + b2 x2
As for that, the compatibility index is the most contributing variable to the accuracy of the performance of the blocking skill, as its contribution rate was for the first indicator: Ŷ = a + b x
And the second indicator: Ŷ = a + b1 x1 + b2 x2
Conclusions: were a statistically significant correlation between some physical measurements, physical and motor abilities, and the accuracy of the spike skill and the blocking skill (Straight and diagonal) of the research sample. Regression equations were obtained to predict the accuracy of the hit performance (Straight and diagonal) in terms of physical measurements, physical abilities, and kinetics.

The main goal of the present study was to identify basketball game performance indicators which best determine sports level in the National Basketball Association (NBA) league. The research material consisted of all NBA game statistics at the turn of eight seasons (2003-11) and included 52 performance variables. Through detailed analysis the variables with high influence on game effectiveness were selected for final procedures. It has been proven that a limited number of factors, mostly offensive, determines sports performance in the NBA. The most critical indicators are: Win%, Offensive EFF, 3rd Quarter PPG, Win% CG, Avg Fauls and Avg Steals. In practical applications these results connected with top teams and elite players may help coaches to design better training programs.

This paper explores the performance of the world’s largest employment guarantee program, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in India, both nationally and through a sub-national-level comparison based on key performance indicators viz. (i) financial indicators, (ii) physical performance indicators, and (iii) inclusiveness indicators. The paper is based on administrative data taken from the Ministry of Rural Development from 2006 to 2019. Despite sharp increases in fund allocation, total expenditures, and utilization rates, there was deceleration in majority of physical performance indicators after 2016, including total person-days employment and person-days of employment per household, with wide variation in sub-national level implementation capabilities. The finding also rejects the falsity of saturation of MGNREGA work in the rural areas, which is reflected in a strong positive correlation between fund allocation and employment generation. Its broader objective of social safety net for vulnerable people in rural areas shows an achievement, although with some gaps in implementation. JEL classification: H53, J43, P25

ABSTRACT Introduction Relevant monitoring data show that falls have become the leading cause of death in adults over 65 years old, especially among elderly people who have no exercise habits. Physiological function decline caused by the aging process can be slowed with specific training. It is believed that exercises focusing on the core muscles can benefit balance ability among the elderly. Objective The paper explores how core muscle training impacts balance performance in the elderly. Methods The article randomly divides elderly volunteers (n=24) into two groups. The experimental group received specific core physical conditioning, and the control group received no intervention. The physical quality indicators of both groups were compared and statistically analyzed after the experiment. Results The physical fitness indicators (weight, aerobic endurance, static balance ability) in the groups differed (P<0.05). Conclusion Core training can improve the elderly´s functional physical ability and static balance capacity. Evidence level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the results.

Full textAbstract:
The physical fitness of police officers needs to support good health and physical performance. Physical fitness comprises a considerable amount of training for police students who are to become police officers. However, to what degree police students are able to perceive their fitness level and differentiate between health-related and performance-related physical fitness is unknown. Therefore, the first aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of differentiation between health-related and performance-related physical fitness using physical self-concept and measured indicators of physical fitness. The second aim of this study was to investigate the association between components of physical self-concept and measured indicators of physical fitness of police students. The sample of 177 police students of both sexes (98 males and 79 females) completed a 40-item physical self-description questionnaire and their physical abilities were assessed for handgrip strength, standing long jump, 30 s sit-ups, and 12-min running. Principal component analysis established health-related and performance-related physical fitness from both perceived and measured physical fitness measures. Correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between the perceived and measured physical fitness. Results suggest small to moderate ability to recognize the level of certain physical abilities, indicating the association between psychological mechanisms and biological functioning.

Full textAbstract:
Soil quality assessments are needed to improve a professional’s ability to manage urban soils and trees. This research was conducted to identify which soil properties are most useful for relating information on urban tree performance. In total, 48 soil properties were measured at 84 sites from five urban landscapes in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Key physical, chemical, and biological properties to be included in a minimum data set (MDS) for assessing urban soil quality were identified using statistical approaches and practical considerations. The MDS included: texture, bulk density, wet-aggregate stability, pH, electrical conductivity, soil organic matter (SOM), and particulate organic matter. The MDS was used to establish an urban soil quality index (USQI). The MDS and USQI were highly correlated with tree size attributes of height, trunk diameter, crown area, and age. Correlations between the MDS and USQI with trunk diameter growth rate, height growth rate, foliar N, and chlorophyll content were often significant, but less strong. Among the MDS parameters, SOM, pH, and texture appear to be the most informative measures for soil quality relating to urban tree performance. Soil quality and tree performance increased logarithmically following site disturbance, with a plateau after 50 years.

Full textAbstract:
Garment opening is strongly related to the daily life quality of physically disabled people with scoliosis (PDPSs). This research proposes a kinesiological evaluation method to investigate the influence of garment opening positions in dressing activities of PDPSs. For this purpose, dressing activities are firstly deconstructed into several motions. The performance of different garment opening positions is represented by the performance of the wearer carrying out different motions in dressing activities. The proposed evaluation method is based on the Completion Level (CL), which includes both physical and psychological indicators: Motion Standard Time (MST), Motion Difficulty Degree (MDD) and Motion Independence Degree (MID). MST is a physical indicator regarding the standard time to complete a motion in the dressing activities. It reflects the physical autonomy of the wearer in the dressing activity. MDD and MID are psychological indicators, which are developed to evaluate the psychological independence and difficulty of dressing motions respectively. Subjective evaluation is used to obtain data regarding MDD and MID. Due to the fact that there is always vagueness and uncertainly in the subjective evaluation, fuzzy set theory is applied to the data process regarding MDD and MID. A case study is presented to explain the implications of the proposed method. The case study indicated that garment opening positions have an influence on the dressing activity. PDPS will benefit from a well-constructed garment, and a proper positioning of the opening, in terms of both physical and psychological aspects.
