LâexpĂ©rience vĂ©cue par les Ă©lĂšves de 7PH/8PH en Ă©ducation physique
Ce mĂ©moire traite de lâexpĂ©rience vĂ©cue par des Ă©lĂšves de 7PH-8PH en Ă©ducation physique et du rapport personnel quâils construisent au sein de la discipline. Afin dâobtenir des Ă©lĂ©ments Ă ce sujet, un questionnaire a Ă©tĂ© prĂ©sentĂ© Ă six classes de trois Ă©tablissements diffĂ©rents du canton de GenĂšve. Suite Ă lâanalyse de ces questionnaires, des entretiens individuels semi-directifs ont Ă©tĂ© menĂ©s avec certains Ă©lĂšves. Notre analyse se base donc uniquement sur le discours des Ă©lĂšves. Lâenseignement de lâEP Ă©tant dispensĂ© Ă la fois par les enseignants gĂ©nĂ©ralistes et les enseignants spĂ©cialistes, nous tentons de savoir si lâexpĂ©rience que vivent les Ă©lĂšves est la mĂȘme avec les deux enseignants et sâils prennent du plaisir au sein des leçons. Afin de comprendre lâexpĂ©rience vĂ©cue par les Ă©lĂšves, les concepts de motivation, de confiance en soi et dâestime de soi seront abordĂ©s
Language Barriers to Healthcare for Linguistic Minorities: The Case of Second Language-specific Health Communication Anxiety
In this study we examined health communication anxiety (HCA) associated with language-discordant situationsâthat is, where people have to use their second language (L2) to communicate with health providers who are using their first language (L1). We adapted existing HCA scales in order to (1) assess L2 HCA in such situations separately for physical and mental/emotional health contexts and (2) control for potential confounds, such as HCA not related to L2 use and L2 communication anxiety not related to health, allowing us to obtain L2-specific measures of HCA. We examined the relationship between L2-specific HCA and willingness to use health services in language-discordant situations. English-speaking linguistic minority participants (N = 314) living in QuĂ©bec, a predominantly French-speaking area of Canada, were recruited for online testing. The results revealed that, separately for both physical and mental/emotional health contexts, there were significant and meaningful L2-specific relations between HCA and willingness to use L2 health servicesâi.e., over and above general anxiety and discomfort about using an L2, and over and above general health communication anxiety. The effect was stronger for mental/emotional health contexts. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding barriers to health services for linguistic minorities.</p

Cognitive Performance Before and Following Habituation to Exercise-Induced Hypohydration of 2 and 4% Body Mass in Physically Active Individuals
We investigated the effect of repeated exposures to hypohydration upon cognitive performance. In a randomized crossover design, ten physically active adults completed two 4-week training blocks, one where they maintained euhydration (EUH) and the other where they were water-restricted (DEH) during walking/running at 55% V.O2max, 40 °C. Three sessions per week were performed: (1) 1 h of exercise, (2) exercise until 2% or (3) 4% of body mass has been lost or replaced. Limited to the first and fourth training week, a 12 min walking/running time-trial was completed following the 2 and 4% exercise bouts. Trail making, the Wisconsin card sort, the Stop signal task, Simple visual reaction time and Corsi block-tapping tests were performed immediately following the time-trials. Body mass loss was maintained p p > 0.05). From a practical perspective, the gains in cognitive performance following training to DEH were mostly unclear, but under certain circumstances, were greater than when EUH was maintained. Based on the battery of cognitive tests used in the current study, we conclude that whether physically active individuals are habituated or not to its effect, exercise-induced hypohydration of 2 and 4% has, in general, no or unclear impact on cognitive performance immediately following exercise. These results encourage further research in this area
