The analysis was carried out from systems-based and learning-oriented perspectives on the organisation of physical education.\n\r\nResults. The review supports interpreting physical education of schoolchildren as a managed learning process in which learning outcomes emerge through the interaction of pedagogical control, modelling, and learners’ age-related developmental characteristics. Age-related regularities are best treated as parameters of learning models that define the boundaries for valid interpretation of pedagogical-control results. Pedagogical control acquires a regulatory function only when embedded within a model of the learning process. The synthesis also allows the learning of physical exercises to be interpreted as the formation and dynamics of learning states that can serve as objects of pedagogical control and regulation.\n\r\nConclusions. The proposed synthesis enables interpreting outcomes of physical education as consequences of the organisation of the learning process rather than as autonomous normative indicators. This narrative review delineates theoretical and methodological frames for further research aimed at empirically testing models of managed physical education and refining tools of pedagogical control in general secondary education practice.\n","source":"DOAJ","year":2026,"language":"","subjects":["Sports"],"doi":"10.17309/tmfv.2026.2.01","url":"https://tmfv.com.ua/journal/article/view/4190","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":70},{"id":"doaj_10.6018/sportk.625741","title":"The effectiveness of public administration of sports in rural communities under decentralization (experience for Ukraine)","authors":[{"name":"Tеtіana Dorofieieva"}],"abstract":"\nArticle accepted.\nThe article will be published here soon.\nPending final quality checks.\n","source":"DOAJ","year":2024,"language":"","subjects":["Sports"],"doi":"10.6018/sportk.625741","url":"https://revistas.um.es/sportk/article/view/625741","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":68},{"id":"doaj_10.12775/QS.2024.20.54154","title":"When Healthy Habits Turn Harmful: A Medical Perspective on Exercise Addiction","authors":[{"name":"Izabela Hądzlik"},{"name":"Klaudia Wojtyła"},{"name":"Marta Barg"}],"abstract":"\nBehavioural addictions, also known as non-substance-related addictions, encompass a range of compulsive behaviours that closely mirror substance use disorders in their effects on the brain's reward system and the individual's daily life.

Fear of failure, choking under pressure, financial disparities in income, and concerns related to body image and social pressure may intensify on-field challenges. These factors make the competitive environment particularly demanding for female soccer players. The aim of the current review is to map the available evidence on anxiety in women's football over the past decade and to identify interventions designed to manage anxiety among female soccer players.\n\nMaterial and Methods. A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. An extensive search was carried out across four major databases for publications dated between 2014 and 2024. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts, followed by full-text screening and data extraction. Any disagreements were resolved by a third researcher. The findings were tabulated and synthesized in a narrative format. The study was pre-registered on the Open Science Framework.\n\nResults. The search yielded 2885 unique records. A total of 21 texts were reviewed in full, and the final sample included 14 studies. Some of the records included mentioned modifications to psychosocial interventions, such as Virtual Reality (VR) relaxation sessions, pre-exercise sporting massage, and psychological training programs (including psycho-neuromuscular theory and visualization techniques). These interventions led to a reduction in anxiety, though their effectiveness varied significantly across different approaches. Our results suggest that research on women's football may disproportionately focus on psychological interventions for managing anxiety. This highlights the need for broader investigations into other factors that influence athletes' performance and well-being.\n\nConclusions. This scoping review helps clarify the current landscape of anxiety research in women's soccer. It highlights both promising interventions and gaps in the research over the past decade. Although the body of evidence on anxiety interventions is small, it suggests that psychological interventions may be effective in reducing anxiety among female soccer players.","source":"DOAJ","year":2024,"language":"","subjects":["Special aspects of education","Sports"],"doi":"10.15561/26649837.2024.0602","url":"https://sportpedagogy.org.ua/index.php/ppcs/article/view/2790","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":68},{"id":"doaj_10.14198/INTURI.22122","title":"Hegemonía hotelera.

However, it is not clear whether it is the movement behavior itself or other contextual factors that are related to depressive symptoms. The objective of the present study was to examine the associations between self-reported and accelerometer-measured movement behaviors and depressive symptoms in adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 610 adolescents (14–18 years old) were used. Adolescents answered questions from the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale and reported time spent watching videos, playing videogames, using social media, time spent in various physical activities, and daytime sleepiness. Wrist-worn accelerometers were used to measure sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sedentary time, and physical activity. Mixed-effects logistic regressions were used. Results: Almost half of the adolescents (48%) were classified as being at high risk for depression (score ≥20). No significant associations were found between depressive symptoms and accelerometer-measured movement behaviors, self-reported non-sport physical activity, watching videos, and playing videogames. However, higher levels of self-reported total physical activity (odd ratio (OR) = 0.92, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.86–0.98) and volume of sports (OR = 0.88, 95%CI: 0.79–0.97), in minutes, were associated with a lower risk of depression, while using social media for either 2.0–3.9 h/day (OR = 1.77, 95%CI: 1.58–2.70) or \u003e3.9 h/day (OR = 1.67, 95%CI: 1.10–2.54), as well as higher levels of daytime sleepiness (OR = 1.17, 95%CI: 1.12–1.22), were associated with a higher risk of depression. Conclusion: What adolescents do when they are active or sedentary may be more important than the time spent in the movement behaviors because it relates to depressive symptoms. Targeting daytime sleepiness, promoting sports, and limiting social media use may benefit adolescents.","source":"DOAJ","year":2022,"language":"","subjects":["Sports","Sports medicine"],"doi":"10.1016/j.jshs.2020.08.003","url":"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095254620301010","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":66},{"id":"doaj_10.16926/sit.2021.04.17","title":"Infrastruktura sportowa dla potrzeb piłki nożnej  w Częstochowie w okresie międzywojennym","authors":[{"name":"Krzysztof Kościański"}],"abstract":"W pracy przedstawiono infrastrukturę sportową dla potrzeb piłki nożnej w Częstochowie w latach międzywojennych.

Los escolares pasan una gran parte de su tiempo en el entorno escolar y éste debería convertirse en un entorno propicio para promocionar la actividad física. A nivel mundial, las pautas de actividad física para la salud pública incluyen un énfasis especial en poblaciones de niños (típicamente 6-11 años) y adolescentes (típicamente 12-19 años). Las directrices existentes normalmente se expresan en términos de frecuencia, el tiempo y la intensidad de la conducta.

As rural communities feel the effects of globalization and population decline, the leisure styles of community residents change. This paper examines recreation in the lifestyles of rural residents living in remote communities. The purpose of this study is to highlight the unique lifestyles of rural residents in the fishing village of Newport, Nova Scotia, Canada. Specifically, this study explores the leisure styles of community members in one remote community over a 30-year period during which time the economy has changed from being dependent on resource extraction to resource appreciation. Data were gathered using multiple techniques, including content analysis, focus groups, and key stakeholder interviews. The findings indicate that community members are not engaged with one another, as each cohort in the community indicates varying leisure pursuits. There is a strong level of individualized recreational activities for the youth and young adult males, leading to segregation from the community. The senior cohort group provides recreation for itself, while adult men and women appear to have limited to no time for recreation, due to work, family, and household obligations. The residents of Newport report placing high value on community recreational activity, yet no segment of the population is willing to provide the leadership to facilitate recreational opportunities. We conclude that individualized pursuits, coupled with the limited recreational opportunities in the community, have limited the sense of community cohesiveness in Newport. Further research is needed to find out whether this is the case with other rural communities in Canada.\r\n\r\nKeywords: rural communities, leisure styles, sense of community, cohesion","source":"DOAJ","year":2010,"language":"","subjects":["Agriculture (General)","Environmental protection","Social Sciences"],"url":"https://journals.brandonu.ca/jrcd/article/view/350","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":54}],"total":188963,"page":1,"page_size":20,"sources":["DOAJ","CrossRef"],"query":"Recreation.
