“…The results show that there is a significant improvement in the healthrelated fitness of students who took the PE course. This agrees with studies done on school children [17,[29][30][31][32] and university students [33][34][35][36][37]. Moreover, the current study shows evidence that the benefits of recreational football [38,39] can be obtained to a certain degree in a classroom setting.…”

“…Moreover, the current study shows evidence that the benefits of recreational football [38,39] can be obtained to a certain degree in a classroom setting. The current study also adds to previous studies that show that volleyball is beneficial for healthrelated fitness [34,40,41]. As for the effects of badminton on health-related fitness, this is the first study to our knowledge that reveals the effects of badminton training on non-athletes.…”

Background and Study Aim. Few controlled studies have been conducted on the effect of sports games as a physical education (PE) course on the health-related fitness of university students. The aim of the study was to determine whether three sports in a PE course will help improve the health-related fitness of male university students. Material and Methods. Students from two universities participated in the study, with one university acting as a control group. There were two PE courses which students registered for: a football and volleyball (FVG, n=169) course and a badminton (BG, n=97) course. The students received basic training drills and competed with one another. The duration of the activities was 50 minutes sessions for eight weeks. The following tests were taken before and after eight weeks: Cooper test, sit-and-reach test, 60-s curl test, standing long jump test, and body mass index. Paired t-tests were used to compare the baseline and post data of each group. The Welch t-test, ANCOVA, and analysis of gains scores were used to compare each of the PE groups to the control group. ANCOVA was used to account for baseline differences, while analysis of gains scores was used whenever ANCOVA could not be used. The Vargha-Delaney Effect Size (VD) and the Common Language Effect Size (CLES) were used to determine the effect sizes for the Welch t-tests and ANCOVA, respectively. Significant changes were set at p ≤ 0.05 and VD ≤ 42% or VD ≥ 58%, or if p ≤ 0.05 and CLES ≥ 58 %. Results. Both PE groups showed significant improvements in all the measured fitness parameters except body composition. Moreover, the measured parameters of the control group reduced after eight weeks. Conclusion. The study shows evidence that PE courses can serve male universities in improving their health-related fitness. Moreover, students who do not participate in a PE course may be at risk of losing their fitness.

“…Summarizing the data of many research studies (Harsoda & Purohit, 2014;Mohammed, 2018;Warburton, Nicol, & Bredin, 2006), it can be defined that health is the most vital factor of an individual living programme implementation that significantly affects the realization of social tasks. According to the data of the World Health Organization (2015), health is determined to be a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.…”

The level and dynamics of students' physical health during the 1 st and the 2 nd years of studying at a Ukrainian higher educational institution are investigated in this article, and the interrelation between the indicators of students' health and physical fitness is defined. Seventy-three students of Zhytomyr National Agroecological University (38 male and 35 female students) took part in the investigation. The level of the students' physical health was evaluated according to the methodology of Professor Apanasenko based on the anthropometry indicators (body weight and lengths, lung capacity, wrist power) and the state of the cardiovascular system (heart rate, blood pressure, heart rate recovery). It has been determined that the physical health level of both male and female students did not improve during the 1 st and the 2 nd years of studying; more than 80% of the students (both men and women) have below middle and low levels of health; the overall points are measured by 2.31-3.27 points. It indicates the lack of the efficiency of the current system of physical education at Ukrainian higher educational institutions and the necessity of the search for the means of its improvement. The correlation analysis defined an authentic interrelation (p<0.05) between the students' physical fitness level and the indicators of their health. Most of the authentic correlation connections are defined due to the results in the endurance and power exercises.

Background: FIFA 11+ training is a warm-up program for the prevention of athletic injuries, including slow running, active stretching, and player-controlled collisions designed to focus on central muscle stability, neuromuscular control, eccentric hamstring strength, and agility, and can improve sports performance. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of FIFA 11+ training on the agility and explosive power of male volleyball players. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 24 male volleyball players from the Islamic Azad University of Marvdasht were selected as the statistical sample and divided into two groups of 11+ training and control. The 11+ training group performed FIFA 11+ training for eight weeks, three sessions per week and 20 minutes each session. The control group only had their usual activities in this period. Agility and explosive power were measured before the start of training and 24 hours after the last session of training through Illinois test, horizontal jump test, and vertical Sargent test. The Shapiro-Wilk test and independent/dependent samples t-tests were used to analyze the data (P ≤ 0.05). Results: Eight weeks of 11+ training had a significant effect on agility (P = 0.008), horizontal jump (P = 0.001), and vertical jump (P = 0.001). Conclusions: It seems that 11+ training can be used to improve the agility and explosive power of male college volleyball players.
