PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE ERIC DATABASE

In respect to the growing interest in physical education and sports, the state of this large number of scientific literature and the bibliometric analysis has not been conducted. The purpose of this study to investigate the literature involved physical education and sports topics regarding the descriptive bibliometric analysis. We gathered the open-access data from ERIC within the permission of this database for non-commercial data usages. After a systematic query whole, ERIC database scrapped between the 2010-2019 year and retrieved a total of 365861 journal articles considered of 25573 articles as physical education and sports-related. There were 7581 articles published at the top 25journals (% 29.64). Subjects analysis according to “Physical education” was the commonly associated topic in this field. The findings of this study observed that the ERIC database covered a huge number of articles regarding PE and sports topics. Dynamics of the research literature suggest the US was the first contributor country to both authors and articles. Hence, we conducted a descriptive analysis of the literature indexed in the ERIC database theme include physical education and sports. This study provided a bibliometric analysis of an enormous number of articles after filtering the biggest education basis database

Actividad física y niveles de condición física de los estudiantes del Departamento de Educación Física y Deportes durante la graduación

This study aimed to compare physical activity and fitness of physical education and sports teacher department students and investigate the relationship between physical parameters and academic success. Twenty-five (12 male and 12 female) students volunteered to participate in this study. Sportive background and higher education examination points, shuttle run test scores, and academic success pieces of information of students were taken from the personal folder with the permission of faculty administration. Body composition measured via bioelectric impedance method, shuttle run test performed. Self-admitted international physical activity questionary (long form) was performed. Sportive background and higher education examination points, physical activity levels, and academic success have founded similar within both sexes. However, aerobic capacity results decreased when compared to the entrance of the college with graduation in both male and female students. Also, there was a correlation between VO2max change percentage and academic success. Requirements of physical education and sports department cannot maintain until graduation. These results indicate that there is not an impact of physical tests to graduation quantities of the physical education teacher. However, the relationship between VO2max change percentage and academic success is important indicator that active playing sports and physical activity may be beneficial. To grow up better and more quantitative physical education teachers, future studies require to investigate current physical test which performed the entrance of physical education and sports teacher education and querying that do physical tests a good method to attain requested goals.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar la actividad física y el estado físico de los estudiantes del departamento de educación física y de deportes, e investigar la relación entre los parámetros físicos y el éxito académico. Veinticinco (13 hombres y 12 mujeres) se ofrecieron como voluntarios para participar en este estudio.  Se analizó la composición corporal medida a través del método de impedancia bioeléctrica, se realizó una prueba de funcionamiento de la lanzadera. Se realizó un cuestionario de actividad física internacional. Los antecedentes deportivos y los puntos de examen de educación superior, los niveles de actividad física y el éxito académico han sido similares en ambos sexos. Sin embargo, los resultados de la capacidad aeróbica disminuyeron en comparación con la entrada a la universidad con la graduación en estudiantes masculinos y femeninos. Además, hubo una correlación entre el porcentaje de cambio de VO2max y el éxito académico.  Estos resultados indican que las pruebas físicas no afectan las cantidades de graduación del maestro de educación física. Sin embargo, la relación entre el porcentaje de cambio de VO2max y el éxito académico es un indicador importante de que los deportes activos y la actividad física pueden ser beneficiosos. Para crecer mejores y más maestros de educación física cuantitativos, los estudios futuros requieren investigar las pruebas físicas actuales que realizaron la entrada de educación física y educación de maestros de deportes y consultas que hacen pruebas físicas un buen método para lograr los objetivos solicitados

El efecto de la vibración aguda en el tiempo de reacción visual en esgrimidor

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an acute local vibration exercise on the visual reaction time of a fencer’s upper body extremities. Twenty-six male fencers between the ages of 15 and 23 (mean age, 17.38 ± 2.13 years, height: 173.6±9.1 cm, body mass: 70.2 ±14.1 kg) volunteered for this study. The reaction time test was applied before and after the vibration exercise (applied for 30 seconds in 27 Hz with a 2-mm amplitude). After 25 min. standard warming up, fencers were informed about the test, and three repeated reaction tests were performed to provide familiarization. The fencers started the reaction test in the standard fencing guard position. According to five signals coming at two to five second intervals from the target monitor, the fencers made touché by bending (attacking). The reaction time test had five trials. The average reaction time values pre-vibration, and post-vibration were compared. The visual reaction time measured pre-vibration were significantly longer than those measured post-vibration (p<0.001). Acute local vibration exercise applied to fencers shortened the visual reaction time. Given the fact that vibration can improve RT, the use of vibration in training has the potential to provide an advantage to fencers.El propósito de este estudio es determinar el efecto de un ejercicio de vibración local aguda en el tiempo de reacción visual de las extremidades superiores de un esgrimidor. Veintiséis esgrimidores masculinos entre las edades de 15 y 23 (edad media, 17.38 ± 2.13 años, altura: 173.6 ± 9.1 cm, masa corporal: 70.2 ± 14.1 kg) se ofrecieron como voluntarios para este estudio. La prueba del tiempo de reacción se aplicó antes y después del ejercicio de vibración (aplicado durante 30 segundos en 27 Hz con una amplitud de 2 mm). Después de 25 min. calentamiento estándar, se informó a los esgrimidores sobre la prueba y se realizaron tres pruebas de reacción repetidas para proporcionar familiarización. Los esgrimidores comenzaron la prueba de reacción en la posición estándar de protección de esgrima. De acuerdo con cinco señales que vienen a intervalos de dos a cinco segundos desde el monitor objetivo, los esgrimistas hicieron un toque al doblarse (atacar). La prueba del tiempo de reacción tuvo cinco ensayos. Se compararon los valores promedio de tiempo de reacción pre-vibración y post-vibración. El tiempo de reacción visual medido antes de la vibración fue significativamente mayor que el medido después de la vibración (p <0.001). El ejercicio de vibración local aguda aplicado a los esgrimidores acortó el tiempo de reacción visual. Dado que la vibración puede mejorar la RT, el uso de la vibración en el entrenamiento tiene el potencial de proporcionar una ventaja a los esgrimidores

The effects of the goalkeeper substitution rule as a new strategy in handball: Analysis of Men's European Handball Championship 2020

Background: The numerical inferiority in attacking due to the 2-min penalty is a disadvantageous situation in handball. Teams substitute the goalkeeper with a field player to tolerate this handicap. The rule change enabled the simple practicality of playing with an extra player and an empty net. Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of intervention on the additional field player strategy in elite national teams. Methods: A total of sixty-two handball matches that were played in the Men's European Handball Championship 2020 were analyzed in this study. We executed a notation analysis on in-game special periods such as the replacement of the goalkeeper with an additional field player. Eight different variables included in the analysis were goals, penalty or suspension, missed shots, technical error, received goals with an empty net, missed shots with an empty net, conceded fast-break goals and substitution failures. Results: The winning and losing teams' analysis revealed that there was a significant increase in missed shots, technical error, received goals with an empty net and received fast-break goals in the losing teams. In the comparison of the numerical asymmetry situations (5&6 and 7&6 with an additional field player), all parameters were significantly higher in the 5&6 situations than the 7&6 situations except for substitution failure. Conclusions: This study suggests that playing with an additional field player could provide an opportunity for advantageous attacking in the critical moments of the game and make handball a more attractive team sport in the future
