Positive Youth Development (PYD) programs are being used to foster holistic growth in children and adolescents. The hybridized application of two or more programs of this type has acquired special relevance in recent years. Although their application is common in the school context, there are few research studies that attempt their implementation in an extracurricular context. This study analyzed the effects of an intervention based on a hybrid PYD program on personal responsibility (PR) and social responsibility (SR) in youth volleyball players in an extracurricular context. A hybrid program was applied during the competitive season, with a total of 37 sessions with 30 girl students (15 experimental and 15 control) aged between 8 and 10 years (M = 8.87, SD = 0.82). A convergent mixed methods design was applied to integrate the following: (a) semi-structured interviews and field notes and (b) personal and social responsibility questionnaires. The results indicated that the implementation of the hybrid program appeared to yield a positive perception of learning in both the participants and the coach. Although there were no statistically significant intergroup or intragroup differences, the findings suggest that the hybrid program seems to be effective in fostering PR and SR in youth girl volleyball players.
The following educational intervention proposal arises from the importance of implementing an education based on fostering values through physical education (PE) lessons. PE has certain characteristics that contribute to enhancing learning at a social, affective and psychological level, in addition to promoting adequate physical development. The proposed design is based on Donald Hellison’s personal and social responsibility model (TPSR), whose main objective is to achieve a teaching methodology that can convey values and skills in the lives of youth at risk of exclusion. Different sports modalities are used in the initiation phase, which make up a ten-week teaching unit and in which the game takes the leading role. The application of this program focuses specifically on students in compulsory secondary education, a stage in which significant changes are experienced in many aspects and levels. However, it is completely adaptable to other developmental stages. In this way, the main objective of this work is to create an intervention proposal that aims to promote, following a set of intervention units of sessions, the development of the three main values in which this work is based: respect, equality and inclusion.
Las organizaciones actuales y modernas están iniciándose en implementar acciones de gestión y promoción de la salud con el objeto de mejorar su calidad de vida y la productividad de la empresa. Una de las variables que impacta en la productividad es la satisfacción laboral, por lo que el propósito de este estudio fue conocer qué tipo de relación existe entre la práctica de actividad física y la satisfacción laboral en Emergya, una consultoría informática. La muestra fueron 152 empleados que contestaron al cuestionario IPAQ para valorar su práctica de actividad física y una pregunta subjetiva sobre la satisfacción laboral. Los resultados mostraron que existen diferencias significativas, siendo los practicantes de actividad física vigorosa (M = 4,19), los practicantes de actividad física moderada (M = 4,15) y los practicantes de actividad física baja (M = 3,38). Por lo tanto los hallazgos concluyen que la práctica de actividad física, de manera vigorosa y moderada influye positivamente en la satisfacción laboral de los empleados. Current and modern organizations are beginning to implement health management and promotion actions in order to improve their quality of life and the productivity of the company. One of the variables that impacts productivity is job satisfaction, so the purpose of this study was to know what kind of relationship exists between the practice of physical activity and job satisfaction in Emergya, a computer consultancy. The sample consisted of 152 employees who answered the IPAQ questionnaire to assess their physical activity practice and a subjective question about job satisfaction. The results showed that there are significant differences, being the practitioners of vigorous physical activity (M = 4,19), the practitioners of moderate physical activity (M = 4,15) and the practitioners of low physical activity (M = 3,38). Therefore, the findings conclude that the practice of physical activity, in a vigorous and moderate way, positively influences the job satisfaction of employees.
People with visual impairment have greater difficulty in accessing physical activity and sport, and a lack of social interaction is also associated with a risk of exclusion. Work is currently being done to include people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport. However, there is a lack of studies examining the status and overall effectiveness of interventions in the pre- and post-COVID stage. This study aimed to provide solid evidence on the characteristics and effectiveness of interventions for the inclusion of people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport in order to address the need for dissemination on this topic. The bibliographic search was carried out with the words “Physical activity”, “Physical exercise”, “Sport”, “Physical training”, “visual disability”, “visual impairment” and “inclusion” in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar from 2018 to 2021.The article selection process was according to the PRISMA protocol with a final selection of nine articles. The main results highlighted that the programmes improve the perception of people with disabilities, increase social skills and health and increase the social importance of people with disabilities in the social environment. Among the most generalised conclusions were the need for specialised training, the need for social inclusion and participation of people with visual impairment in their environments and increased physical activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
