Effectiveness of Sportized Physical Education Based on the Correlation between Physical Qualities and Body Functions

Author(s): Evgeny Cherepov,Vitaliy Epishev,Ksenia Naumova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Modern challenges require improving the system of youth physical education and providing young people with a wide choice of physical activities. The article deals with the practical provisions for improving the system of physical education designed for young males. The study is based on both systems theory and a synergy approach. It also reveals that certain physical qualities and body functions possess a significant correlation. Therefore, a targeted influence on dominating qualities may indirectly improve associated qualities. The authors propose a method for individualizing training in young males taking into account the correlations existing between physical and functional preparedness and paying special attention to the most developed physical qualities. The experimental group practiced physical education incompliance with basic principles of a PE academic program and extra-curriculum activities making a special emphasis on certain physical activities and the most developed physical qualities. The following activities were proposed to young males: “Team sports”, “Track-and-field athletics”,“Fitness aerobics”, “Sambo”. The study justifies the effectiveness of the PE programs developed in compliance with the correlations between physical qualities and body functions. The authors registered a significant improvement in flexibility, coordination, strength endurance, and speed-strength qualities in the experimental group during a 9-month experiment.

The Importance of Using an Appropriate Methodology for the Development of Speed by Gymnazial Cycle Children

Author(s): Cristian Ștefan Liuşnea / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The most favorable timeframe for speed development, especially the response rate, is between 6-18 years of age, with the youngest age having the greatest potential, because the basic psychic processes are not stabilized and the analyzers, especially the motor analyzer, can improve their basic functions and especially those related to driving activity. Considering the multitude of factors involved in the manifestation of speed and differentiated age periods in which it is possible to act with increased chances on one or other of the factors, it is necessary to amplify and diversify the exercises and activities meant for the development of the speed, a more careful differentiation of their dependent the age of the students they act on. Only with the observance of an appropriate methodology based on the optimization and the objectivity of the actuation systems used and the objectives pursued at each age-period can be obtained increased results in the development of this important quality, strongly determined by the hereditary dowry.

An Integrative Approach to Teaching Continuous and Perfect Tenses in English

Author(s): Antoanela Marta Mardar / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The appropriate use of tenses in English is agreed to be one of the most problematic aspects with which Romanian speakers of English have to cope when trying to communicate correctly and effectively in this language. Some problems are related to formal aspects, i.e. to aspects which imply combining the grammatically correct forms of the elements making up tenses in English (auxiliary and main verbs). Nevertheless, not few are the problems related to semantic and stylistic aspects, i.e. to aspects which condition tense choices depending on the types of actions to be expressed and on the speakers’ need to stylistically mark the messages conveyed (modality).When teaching tenses in the continuous and perfect aspects in English, the two types of problems mentioned above may be avoided if the formal and semantic matrixes specific to these tenses are used. Some might argue that young and teenage learners of English are likely find such formal and semantic matrixes rather abstract and might be unable to further apply them in similar contexts. Nonetheless, the present paper will demonstrate that a gradual and adapted approach to the formal and semantic aspects obviously shared by the continuous and perfect tenses in English may prove useful and effective, irrespective of the students’ age and level of linguistic competence. Once understood and extensively practised, the two matrixes need to be appropriately evaluated in order to ensure long-term results.

Using Analogies in Teaching Indirect Speech to Romanian Students

Author(s): Iulian Mardar / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Turning a dialogue, i.e. direct speech (DS), into a reported text, i.e. indirect speech (IS), implies a series of substantial transformations undergone by the verb, among other parts of speech. Such changes are not difficult to operate by native speakers of English, even though natives also learn gradually how to report what other people say as they develop their communication skills in English.Things are quite challenging in the case of non-native speakers of English whose native languages do not imply such strict transformation rules as English does. Although numerous, the logical changes in the verb form which have to be operated while reporting DS may be made more accessible to adult Romanian learners of English by using analogies with math formulae or with practicalaspects from the real life.The present paper is aimed at enlarging on some of the most original analogies which have been successfully used in order to facilitate the Romanian adult learners’ understanding of the specific grammar rules to be taken into account when turning sentences from direct to IS.

Methodological Aspects Concerning the Psychoeducational Intervention in the Case of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders of Children with Migrant Parents

Author(s): S. Mindu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The dynamics of family structure modifications in Romania is quite intense, on the background of economic, political, moral instability which manifests at national level. The number of families where the parents are separated from the children because they left the country for work and where the role of the parents is filled by the extended family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles or other relatives) is larger from year to year. Under these circumstances, the family is challenged to identify new resources and find new strategies so as to maintain each member’s relational balance and emotional health. The present research aims as a general objective to highlight a possible methodological structure for psychoeducational intervention in the case of emotional and behavioral disorders of children whose parents left to work in European countries. The practical-applicative objective is to identify the ways in which, within the psychoeducational intervention program, the resilience of children and parents can be increased in the context of family structure modification. Integrating the family into a psychoeducational approach focused on increasing the resilience of its members to separation, developing socio-emotional skills, flexibility and autonomy may be a solution to minimize the negative effects on the psychological development of children that might occur in this context of family structure modification.

Tax Optimization at the Level of Sports Clubs

Author(s): Florentina Moisescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the way in which sport clubs resort to tax optimization in order to avoid the fulfilment of their obligations towards the general budget, which is established by speculating, for their benefit, the content of the legal rules applicable in the matter, which allow the choice of a particular tax regime, advantageous to them. Tax optimization is an important point in effective asset management strategies. In tax law there is the principle that any company is free to organize its activity in order to optimize their tax and payments and, as a result, most companies try to find legal ways to pay lower taxes. However, it often happens that tax optimization is mistook for tax evasion and moralizing speeches appear in a field considered immoral from the start. However, tax optimization implies law enforcement and includes any immediate measure likely to reduce the tax costs associated with a specific operation/transaction. We can therefore conclude that tax optimization represents a thorough understanding of the business of the sports organization, its mechanisms and limitations, as well as finding those routes offered by both local and international tax laws that lead to the reduction of the amount and the postponement of the tax charge as much as possible, so that the company can reduce or better manage the impact of cash flow.

The Role of the Cash Flow Table in Substantiating Effective Management Decisions in Sports Organizations

Author(s): Florentina Moisescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the role of the treasury in financing the activity and ensuring the sustainability of a sports organisation, the importance of assessing its ability to generate liquidity and liquidity equivalents, as well as the funding needs of the organisation.At the level of managerial decision-making, the treasury gains more weight, the more the following question arises: How is it that we have high profit margins, but there is never enough money? Sport club managers can fall into the trap of believing that a consistent profit margin or a spectacular increase in turnover guarantees the sufficiency of cash resources. These positive aspects, however, may sometimes prove fatal to the cash resources. In this respect, the treasury represents the basis for determining short-term (solvency) and long-term (financing needs) financial analysis and management indicators, favouring the forecasting of the financial situation of the entity. From the analysis performed in this paper, we consider that the analysis of cash flow is useful for substantiating efficient management decisions by: correlating the profit (loss) with the cash; separating the activities involving cash from non-cash activities; assessing the ability of an enterprise to meet its cash payment obligations; cash flow assessment for future activities (cash-flow strategy).

Comparative Study on Effectiveness of Different Methodologies to Improve the Forehand and the Backhand to Tennis Players at the Age of 7-9 Years

Author(s): Petronel Moisescu,Răzvan-Marian Bucătaru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In classic tennis, learning process has been running for several years, being a long activity, the volume of skills and knowledge acquisition running for a longer period(6-8 years). Then,depending on the progress and differences between the children, their preparation will be individualized. Tennis 10s is a program that was created and implemented by the international tennis federation(ITF) in the early 2000s,as an integrated part of a campaign named „Tennis Play and Stay”, officially launched in February 2007,aiming to increase the practice of tennis all over the world. In the last period tennis has become more popular in Romania due to the exceptional international result of the athletes representing this sport. An important role is played by the integration of modern training methods,borrowed from abroad, in Romanian tennis clubs. Practically, coaches from Romania adopt the classical training methodology, the training methodology from”tennis 10s” or a mixture between them. Through this work I want to see by what method of training tactics are develop more pronounced, at 7-9 years-old tennis players, from the point of view of direction and amplitude in forehand and backhand. At the same time, through applied tests I will also discover if there are any substantial differences in the motion technique caused by balls having a different inner pressure.

Study on the Influence of Coordinative Capacities on Motor Performance of Primary School Students

Author(s): Petronel Cristian Moisescu,Raluca Mădălina Burlui / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

We can say with certainty about children’s coordinative capacities that they have a wide applicability in both daily and sporting activity, which means that they are native and perfectable qualities if subjects act on them selectively, continuously and as early as possible. Coordinative capacities represent a combination of complex qualities, which interfere with all other motor qualities. At the young school age, due to the maturation of the nervous system and as a result of the large number of organized motor skills, the level of coordination improves. The ease of learning the movements is benefited by a certain type of cognitive and sensory development recorded during this period and that materializes in the capacity of perception and observation. As far as the skill is concerned, the muscular strength increases and the ambidextrous character is emphasized, but also the extremities of the left and the right are highlighted. Ossification at this stage is intense at the level of the pelvis in the girls, as well as the calcification processes at the level of the hand, the joints strengthen and the volume of the muscles increases, the fine musculature of the hand develops. With all this in mind, it is important to work with care, as any kind of exaggeration or incorrect positions leads to persistent deformations. The morphofunctional maturity of the young children of school age implies the adaptation of the body to certain physical efforts, to the formation of awareness skills and to the relatively rational coordination of their movements.

The Analysis of the Parametres of Motor Training of Senior Volleyball Players Nationally

Author(s): Neculai Harabagiu,Alexandru Păcuraru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Nowadays, the volleyball game has become a very dynamic one. Its swiftness is given by the great speed of execution of the technical elements and game procedures. Therefore, the players must have an appropriate level of motor training. This thing, in particular, refers to the senior volleyball players, where the level of physical training is a determining one and it reflects in their performances within national and even international competitions. All of these make up an assessment criterion for the selection of players nationally, where the sportsmen activate both in the European competitions, as well as worldwide ones. The Romanian Federation of Volleyball places at the disposal of the participating teams in the National Championship of Romania several guiding tests, so as to highlight the level of motor training of players in all the training stages, including the competitional ones. In this context, we had the same objective in our research, where we tested the level of the motor training specific for the participating teams in the National Championship of Male Volleyball, while the collected results are to be used in an experimental study, oriented towards increasing the effort capacity of the sportsmen and implicitly, increasing the efficiency in the game of senior volleyball players by applying the “Data Volley” software of statistical assessment.

Experiment on Minivolleyball Training Optimization Through Technique-Correcting Systems

Author(s): Carmen Pârvu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The present research deals with the importance of using correcting systems in sports training, also tackling some regulations that are sometimes inconsistent with the real potential of the players, or the game requirements for the next level.The paper evinces by means of an experiment the need to introduce 4 corrective systems for optimising the technique used in minivolleyball groups. The regulations on the obligatory 3 hits in the team’s own court raise many training problems both for coaches and young players who, in addition to consolidating technical elements and procedures, also have to work on accuracy as early as the minivolleyball level. The systems used are mechanical, easy to manufacture, are relatively inexpensive, but prove to be very helpful in the young players’ motor learning according to today’s requirements in this sporting field. The idea of conceiving such mechanical systems started from the study of the commonest technical mistakes found in practice. The subjects under study are athletes registered at the Arcada Sports Club Galați, where I work as a coach, who are boys between 7-10 years of age, and improved their executions by means of these technique-correcting systems during the training sessions. The results obtained in the final test allow us to believe that the use of these corrective systems in training may prepare the young players more effectively, making them more capable of facing the new regulations.

The Exercises and Memory in the Secondary Schoolchildren

Author(s): Damian Petcu,Diana Victoria Gidu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of the work was to study if the exercise from physical education classhave or not positive effects in the memory of the secondary schoolchildren. For that, 97 schoolchildren between 11 and 15 years old were tested. These tests aimed at determining the quality of memory by two types of tasks: a mathematical one, and a humanistic one. The tests were performed both, before and after the physical education class. In order to assess the level of the physical demand, the heart rate was recorded during the class.The effort from physical education class has no disruptive effect on the mathematical memory [p<0.05]. On the humanistic type of memory the effects were null in boys and girls over 13 years old, while in girls under 13 years old, the effects were negative [p<0.05].

Correlations between the Coordinating Capacities and the Technical Parameters at the Level of the Handball Teams (Junior III)

Author(s): Madalina-Gabriela Postelnicu,Ion Mihaila / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Nowadays, the characteristics of the modern handball game impose the part of the young practitioners the possession of a really rich motor-technical stock and the quickly adaptation to the encounter of unforeseen situations during the game in order to efficiently achieve the gaming tasks. The purpose of this study is to determinate the relationships between the coordinating capacities and the technical parameters of the handball players. In this regard, the research was carried out on a group of athletes aged between 13-14 years, within the Handball Sports Club-ART Galati. Athletes have been tested in terms of coordination skills and technical training. To evaluate the influence of the coordinating capabilities on the technique and vice versa, we chose the calculation of the Pearson correlation coefficient r. Based on the results obtained, r has values between 30% and 89% in 20 calculated correlations, which proves the existence of a connection between the two variables. We can say that the development of coordination capacities at this age echelon is a priority factor in learning and strengthening the specific elements and techniques of handball. Thus, it is advisable to use various methodical procedures in the training process that lead to the development of this psychomotor quality. At the same time, in selecting the means of action for the development of coordination capacities, one has to take into account the particularities of the age, the level of training and the training period.

Warunki krytyki metodologicznej prac badawczych

Author(s): Sławomir Pasikowski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The chapter presents a model of research critique using the idea of deviations from the pattern of methodological correctness. The author introduces the concept of two categories of such deviations: from the local standard and from the generalized criterion. Both refer to the concept of visibility, which co-determines the scope of the response on the side of the sender as well as of the receiver of the empirical report. As a consequence, the author proposed a model of methodological critique that refers to the awareness of failures, defining the conditions of visibility of deviations, and methodological rigor in the discipline, which determines the scope of environmental legitimacy of these deviations. The model makes it possible to predict the behaviour of the creator, the recipient and the disciplinary community in which the report is presented, as well as to characterize the persuasiveness of scientific communication by the empirical reports.

Polityczne aspekty uprawiania krytyki metodologicznej

Author(s): Sławomir Banaszak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author focuses on the political nature of scientific critique. The author’s theses are inspired by the once-well-known text of Michał Kalecki, one of the most influential Polish economists in the history of the discipline, in which he argued that ideological premises often overcame objective, scientific thinking. Similarly, the classic of modern social sciences, Vilfredo Pareto, calls these false justifications, which replace theses based on real premises, derivations. Sławomir Banaszak attempts to show examples of ideology in social sciences, the necessity of undertaking discussions with adversaries, and the apparent and non-obvious nature of the review of scientific achievements. He asks questions, including those about methodological specialization in the social sciences and the methodology of scientific work. In his opinion, critique, including methodological critique, is in retreat and disappearing. For this reason, he proposes indicators of the "criticality" of the discipline that may show off dominant attitudes in a particular field of science.

Polityczne aspekty metodologii jakościowej w perspektywie krytycznej. W stronę partycypacyjnych badań-działań

Author(s): Mariusz Granosik / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

By adopting the basic assumptions of a "knowledge-based society", the methodology of scientific research can be considered as a kind of political system. It provides procedures for determining who (sampling) and to what extent (the method of data interpretation) has the right to co-create knowledge and therefore society. In this perspective, all research activities, and in particular social research, have a political character. In the text, methodological assumptions and qualitative research procedures are discussed from the perspective of their political consequences. This issue seems to be so important that, as a result, there is an uneven participation in the production of knowledge of representatives of various social classes. The chapter ends with a proposal for a change in the paradigm of qualitative research towards their “full participation”.
