“…In other researches it is possible to select solutions of the following problems of athletes fitness: programs' development directions permitting to keep physical shape effectively [19]; differentiation of relocation methods in dancing games [20]; motivational aspects of success achievement [21,22]; mechanical parameters of jumps [23] influence of interval fitness program and interval study program on aerobic and anaerobic physiological indicators [24].…”

Purpose:The purpose of the research is to develop an algorithm of teams' formation in sport aerobics and to define factorial structure of athletes' fitness. Material:in the research sport aerobics' athletes (n=19) participated. All athletes are members of Kharkiv national team (Ukraine). All athletes underwent complete medical examination. The functional condition of an organism (arterial blood pressure, indicators of a variability of the rhythm of the heart, treadbahn testing), psycho-physiological state (time's determination of simple and complex reaction) were defined. The physical development and physical fitness and stability of vestibular system were also defined. The factorial and cluster analysis were used. Results:The algorithm of teams' formation in sport aerobics is developed for performances in various competitive categories. The algorithm contains all stages of standard procedure of the factorial and cluster analysis. In the factorial analysis the individual factorial values were also defined. Conclusions:The obtained data are recommended to be used at teams' formation for performances in various competitive categories: team formation for pair and group performances. The general and individual factorial structure of athletes' complex fitness is defined. It is possible to select athletes with similar qualities and with different qualities for the mixed performances. The determination of individual factorial structure of fitness permits to estimate objectively variants of athletes' formation in groups.

“…The Just Dance Now exergame was used because it can be applied in the facilities of the participating schools, and because it is based on accessible materials for most people in the study context (laptop, screen projector, Internet, and smartphone) [50]. Its use is justified because it has been scientifically studied [51][52][53][54][55] and is extensively used for youth leisure [56]. Playing with a smartphone can be a strategy to obtain a good attitude as young people employ it [57].…”

Analysis of the applicability and utility of a gamified didactics with exergames at primary schools: Qualitative findings from a natural experiment

2020

One of the main objectives of Physical Education in elementary schools is to encourage motivation so that the subject enhances academic performance and the practice of physical exercise. Didactic research should evaluate the effectiveness of educational methods to know if they are applicable, useful, and in what sense. Exergames are digital motor games that aim to stimulate players' motor skills. Gamification refers to the use of game-based elements in nongame contexts to motivate actions. This research evaluates a gamified exergaming intervention, designed to improve children's academic performance by focusing on understanding applicability and usefulness. A natural experiment was set up in schools according to a mixed methods design. The qualitative data herein reported were collected during a natural experiment with a nonrandomized controlled design. The qualitative research design was used with field notes, an open-questions questionnaire, individual semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews. Eight teachers and 417 students took part. A content analysis was chosen as the methodological orientation. The facilitators were the realism of their didactic design and their adaptability to different educational contexts. The main barriers were the required materials and facilities. Teachers and students' attitudes were very positive, although future use was inconclusive. These findings may imply that this study is one of the few to provide positive evidence for educational gamification. The "Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics" gamification model and the "Just Dance Now" exergame may be applicable and useful for didactics in Physical Education, but all the participants' suggestions need to be considered to improve teaching interventions.

“…Videojuegos activos: En el análisis se constata una línea estable de trabajo en el área de videojuego activo, también llamados «exergames» o juego electrónico serio. Se asocia a socialización (Kooiman & Sheehan, 2015), al desarrollo de la motricidad (Nyberg & Meckbach, 2017;Vernadakis, Papastergiou, Zetou, & Antoniou, 2015), al rendimiento cognitivo (Kooiman & Sheehan, 2014), a la generación de estilos de vida saludable (Finco & Zaro, 2012) y la motivación de los estudiantes por la práctica de actividades físicas (Lwin & Malik, 2012;Nation-Grainger, 2017;Sun, 2013), entre otros. Es común encontrar referencia a las consolas que se distribuyen para el sector doméstico.…”

En las dos últimas décadas, la literatura ha aportado argumentos de forma sistemática sobre la utilidad de la integración de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la Educación Física. El objetivo de la presente investigación es describir el comportamiento de la producción científica en el área de las TIC y la Educación Física en el período de 1995 a 2017. El estudio se basa en el análisis bibliométrico de publicaciones recopiladas en diversos repositorios de publicaciones científicas. Se recolectó un total de n=521 contribuciones, que incluyen artículos científicos, presentaciones en eventos científicos, tesis, libros y capítulos de libros. Se determinan los autores más productivos, las principales fuentes de información, las principales líneas de investigación y las contribuciones más influyentes. Se encuentra un alto grado de colaboración nacional, un bajo nivel de colaboración internacional y un limitado número de autores con más de una publicación en el tema. En el análisis sobre la madurez del dominio se considera que estamos ante un dominio de conocimientos en fase de crecimiento. Abstract. In recent decades, scientific literature has provided arguments about the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Physical Education in a systematic way. The objective of this research is to describe the trend of scientific production in the area of ICT and Physical Education in the period from 1995 to 2017. The study is based on the bibliometric analysis of publications collected in various databases of scientific publications. A total of n = 521 contributions were collected, including scientific articles, presentations at scientific events, theses, books, and book chapters. The most productive authors, the main sources of information, the main areas of research, and the most influential contributions were determined. There is a high degree of national collaborations but a low level of international ones, and a low number of authors with more than one publication on the subject. In the domain maturity analysis, we can consider this topic as in a growth phase.
