“…This result is in line with other previous studies that found that HRQoL decreased as age increased in children [63]. Traditionally, the transition from primary to secondary education is associated with a drop in sports-related activities [64][65][66]; we only found a significant difference for boys not in girls in terms of a decrease in activity with increased age. Speculating on the possible reasons for the decline in HRQoL at the beginning of high school, we think this could be due to: (1) adaptation problems to the higher level of education, (2) changes in personal interest during adolescence, such as going out socially on the weekends instead of practicing physical activity or sports competitions.…”

The main purpose of this paper was to evaluate the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the frequency of physical activity in Spanish children aged 8 to 14 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Sample selection was performed using the data obtained from the children’s questionnaire of the National Health Survey of Spain 2017 that is carried out with the children’s parents, and that had an initial size of 6106 participants. After the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the sample size was reduced to 496 subjects. Results show significant differences between the different levels of physical activity frequency, as well as a positive correlation of the average between HRQoL and ADHD. In conclusion, the practice of physical activity may contribute to the improvement of HRQoL in children with ADHD, possibly achieving greater benefits at higher levels of physical activity practice.

“…Learning media strongly supports activities in the field of sports, in which sports play an active role in increasing student activity. The results of the study prove the statement stating that Studies have shown that children who participate in organized sports are significantly more active than those who do not [6]. In addition, sports can overcome negative problems such as anxiety, stress and depression in athletes [7].…”

Development of science and technology an important to improving of human resources, especially in the issue of education. The use of media in learning and training activities greatly helps the process of delivering material effectively and efficiently. The use of appropriate media will help encouraging motivation, creativity, and enthusiasm of students or athletes in participating in exercises activities. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the guidebook on volleyball passing training model for volleyball extracurricular participants at the junior high school level is effectively used as a medium to improve volleyball passing skill at junior high school age. The numbers of research subjects are 60 junior high school students in Makassar, South Sulawesi, selected by using purposive sampling. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method from Borg and Gall. Based on the results of the pretest and posttest test to the research subjects obtained significant results on improving passing skills on volleyball. So it can be concluded that the manual about the volleyball passing training model for junior volleyball extracurricular participants is effectively used to improve the results of volleyball passing skills.

“…3 Further, although time spent in MVPA increased with the number and frequency of sports participated in, sports participation explained between 0.3-3.8% of the variance in daily MVPA, irrespective of age and sex, in all models (including the number, intensity, frequency or type of sports undertaken). Studies show that between one-third and one half of youth's sports practice time is spent in MVPA, 10,22 with the remaining time spent in sedentary or light-intensity physical activities. Sport programs provide beneficial access and resources for recreational physical activity, however, they may not provide sufficient intensity to warrant health benefits, nor increase overall population levels of MVPA.…”

a b s t r a c tObjectives: This study examined the contribution of sports participation to overall moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among adolescents, and explored potential moderators. Design: Cross-sectional observational study using survey and accelerometry data drawn from the NEighbourhood Activity in Youth (NEArbY) study. Methods: Adolescents (n = 358) were recruited from secondary schools in Melbourne, Australia. Average min/day in MVPA was assessed using accelerometry. Participants self-reported sports participation (number of teams, type, frequency, and months of participation). Regression models determined the percent variance in MVPA explained by the sport variables, adjusted for wear time, age and sex, and accounting for clustering at the school level. Additional analyses tested if age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and socioeconomic status (SES) moderated relationships between sport variables and MVPA. Results: Participants (mean 15.3 years, 59% female) spent a mean (SD) of 68.6 (27.4) min/day in MVPA and 50% reported participating in any sport. Those who participated in sport did so 3.4 times/week on average and accumulated 7 min/day of MVPA more than those who did no sport. For each additional sport participated in, on average, there were approximately 5 additional min/day of MVPA. The number and frequency of sports participation explained 3.2% and 3.8% of the variance in MVPA respectively. Participation in field hockey and gymnastics explained 2.2% and 3.6% of the variance in MVPA, respectively. There were no moderating effects.Conclusions: Sport appears to make a very small contribution to adolescents' average daily physical activity. Effectiveness of approaches to increasing youth population levels of physical activity via sports participation needs to be tested. Practical implications• The number of sports and frequency of participation explained just 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively, of the variance in MVPA min/day. • Adolescents who participated in sport accumulated 7 min/day of MVPA more than those who did no sport. For each additional sport participated in, on average, there were approximately 5 additional min/day of MVPA. • There were no moderating effects of age, sex, BMI or SES on the contribution of sports participation to adolescent MVPA. • Targeting sports participation as a way to promote adolescent physical activity may lead to only small increases in population levels of time spent in MVPA and needs to be tested within experimental designs.
