“…Team sports cultivates teamwork spirit among students (Opstoel et al, 2020), fostering favorable peer relationships (Worley et al, 2020). Active engagement in school sports activities increases the likelihood of developing a positive attitude toward school, reinforcing a sense of school belonging and identification with campus culture (Jones et al, 2020). In summary, the involvement of junior high school students in physical activity manifests a multidimensional positive impact on their school adaptation, influencing not only their physical well-being but also contributing to academic, social, and emotional growth.…”

BackgroundAs a crucial juncture in students’ educational journey, junior high school presents challenges that profoundly influence well-being and academic performance. Physical activity emerges as a pivotal factor shaping the holistic development of junior high school students. Beyond its recognized impact on physical and mental health, engaging in regular physical activity proves effective in augmenting students’ adaptability to school life. Despite its importance, the mechanisms through which physical activity influences school adaptation in junior high school students remain understudied in academic research.ObjectiveIn exploring the potential mechanisms, this study aims to validate the mediating roles of resilience and coping styles by examining the association between physical activity and school adaptation among junior high school students.MethodsThis study employed cross-sectional survey approach among junior high school students in China. Through the convenience sampling, 1,488 participants aged from 12 to 16 years old (Average age = 13.59, SD = 1.017) from two Junior high schools in Changsha City, Hunan Province were recruited to complete the Physical Activity Scale, School Adaptation Questionnaire for Junior High School Students, Resilience Scale for Adolescents, and Simple Coping Styles Questionnaire. For data analysis, the SPSS 26.0 and Amos 26.0 were used for statistical processing.ResultsThe results showed that physical activity exhibited a significant correlation with school adaptation (r = 0.656, p < 0.001). Resilience, positive coping style and negative coping style played partial mediating roles between physical activity and school adaptation, with the effect size were 0.229, 0.170, 0.171. The chain mediation effect size of resilience and positive coping style was 0.042, while the chain mediation effect size of resilience and negative coping style was 0.050.ConclusionPhysical activity positively predicts Chinese junior high school students’ school adaptation through resilience and coping styles, suggesting that junior high school students should engage in regular physical activity, so as to improve their resilience and positive coping styles, mitigating negative coping styles, thus promoting their school adaptation.

In development through sports, sports recreation is one of the important instruments in the progress of the nation through sports. The special role of recreational sports is to increase community participation in sports in order to improve physical fitness. The policy is an important key in achieving the paradigm of development through sports, one of which is the focus of developing recreational sports. Therefore, we conducted a literature study in analyzing recreational sports policy in development through sport. Optional Reporting Items for the Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Methods (PRISMA) were used for the systematic review and meta-analysis. The articles reviewed were 23 articles from 2016-2021. All articles are classified by author, year of publication, journal or conference type, sample size, context, data type, sports policy, and baseline findings. The results of this review show that recreational sports have a positive influence on the development paradigm through sports. Overall, our analysis provides an appropriate reference for further research by identifying research needs in aspects of sport policy in broader national development.

“…The field of physical education should be systematically structured for children and adolescents, depict a lively environment and a lovely school, and be able to provide the ultimate vision of physical education and sports for student which is the full synergy of "education, edification, and implementation". Previous researchers have focused primarily on school sport as a single entity, with far less consideration for the different policies available to guide sport management and delivery in the school context (1). Administrators of sport in schools in line with provincial and headquarters sections are planned to attain goals in a five-year vision as follows: Raising knowledgeable, capable, active, skilled, and cheerful students, realizing their academic responsibilities, participating in sports and physical education activities, having mobility, physical and mental fitness, and having a healthy and active lifestyle (2).…”

Background. Considering the existence of FRDE (Fundamental Reform Document of Education) as a national guideline, there is a need to design strategies for physical education and sports in schools, so that due to the limited resources, reaching the desired targets and plans outlined in the FRDE become possible. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to strategically plan the physical education and sports of Iranian students using the QSPM matrix with a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) method. Methods. The sample of the quantitative section was physical education staff members of the general departments and headquarters (deputy, director, and expert) which was a total of 120 people. The main search tools were as follows: 1-The questionnaire, In the qualitative part, the participants included thirteen professors and knowledgeable experts in the field of education who were interviewed to determine the main components of the questionnaire. 2-IFE, EFE, and SWOT matrices were used to determine the strategic position and strategy development and a quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) was used to prioritize the strategies. Results. The results showed that the strategic position of physical education and sports in Iranian schools is in an offensive position and has six strengths, six weaknesses, six opportunities, and six threats. Analyses determined Four SO strategies, two WO strategies, two ST strategies and one WT strategy, and a total of nine strategies. Conclusion. It seems that based on the prioritization of strategies, the promotion of students' motor literacy, as well as a healthy and active lifestyle as the main targets in physical education and sports in schools, should be considered by policymakers in this field.
