“…Another qualitative result was that the participants identified physically active academic lessons as spaces of satisfaction and enjoyment, a theme that coincides with what has been observed in previous studies (Beserra et al, 2022; Bedard et al, 2019; Gammon et al, 2019; Teslo et al, 2023). The participants also remarked on an increase in the amount of physical activity, which is a direct and frequently documented consequence of the integration of physically active academic lessons into the school routine (see the systematic reviews by A.…”

“…Unlike the work of Beserra et al (2022), where a popular song was used, the teachers chose to modify one on this occasion. They took the song 1, 2, and 3 by Sofı´a Reyes and altered the lyrics using the selected geometry contents (Appendix B).…”

“…The curriculum content used in the physically active academic lessons was geometry, specifically, plane figures and their properties. The choice of this content considers the following: (1) the experience of the five teachers who participated in the Beserra et al (2022) study, which addressed such content; (2) the presence of geometry in the curriculum of all primary school levels (MINEDUC, 2018); (3) the feasibility of addressing geometry considering the different levels of ability and motor skills of the students (Oñate Navarrete et al, 2021); and (4) the positive evidence about the use of physically active academic lessons in mathematics (Li et al, 2023; Magistro et al, 2022), and in particular, in geometry (Hraste et al, 2018; C. Moore & Linder, 2012).…”

Schools are pivotal stakeholders in increasing the amount of student physical activity, an attribution especially relevant while the COVID-19 pandemic is not overcome. This article evaluates how the use of physically active academic lessons impacted mathematics learning and the amount of physical activity during the transition to face-to-face classes. The objective was also to analyze students, parents, and teachers’ perceptions of this experience. Therefore, for at least 6 weeks in mid-2021, 290 Chilean elementary school students from different schools, together with their 11 teachers, learned and practiced a choreography on geometry during the school routine. Both quantitative and qualitative instruments were used to evaluate this experience. The results from the pre- and post-test showed that students increased their geometry scores significantly ( Z = 13.116, p < .001) by an average of 24.28 percentage points with an increase of 7.33 percentage points if the student attended face-to-face classes. Moreover, the results of the focus groups revealed a positive perception of the experience and increased physical activity. Overall, the study suggests that incorporating physically active academic lessons positively affect both academic performance and students’ physical activity levels during the transition to face-to-face classes.

“…The military environment shapes everyday physical activities, learning structures, and pedagogical methods [1,2,3,4]. The COVID-19 pandemic also plays a role in students' physical engagement and health [5,6,7,8]. Under these circumstances, the compulsory transition to online education inadvertently results in diminished hands-on elements of academic preparation [3,4] and the imperative to adjust to altered environments [9,10,11].…”

Background and Study Aim. Extended residence in a zone of military conflict presents health risks for students. Hence, this research focuses on evaluating the condition of the autonomic nervous system among university students residing in Ukraine's conflict-affected areas. Materials and Methods. The study involved 57 students (30 men and 27 women) from universities across Ukraine. Before the experiment, these students had experienced a prolonged period of inactivity, attributed to the global COVID-19 pandemic since 2020 and the ongoing war in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Their total time in this difficult environment was 3 years and 6 months. The 'Orthostatic test "seated-to-standing-to-seated" (by Nikolay Teslenko)' was applied in this study. To participate in the study, students were instructed to complete the test and record their findings in a designated Google form. The cardiovascular response (heart rate) was evaluated during the 'sit-stand-sit' sequence for 3 minutes. The experiment's data were statistically analyzed using the PyCharm CE platform and a range of Python coding libraries. Results. The research on the cardiovascular response to physical activity among male and female students revealed that first-category participants exhibit superior adaptation and consistent heart rate, both while stationary and when moving. The second category experienced more pronounced heart rate variations, signifying an average adaptation level. The third category had the most heart rate variability, potentially indicating inadequate stress adaptation and possible cardiovascular health risks. Conclusions. Analysis of the data reveals that physical preparedness markedly affects heart and blood vessel system reactions in both genders. The discerned disparities in heart rate reactions among the groups emphasize the necessity for customized physical training strategies, especially for those less adapted to physical demands.

Media helps learn so that the material or information conveyed is more precise and effective, and efficient learning is achieved so that learning objectives are achieved. Media is beneficial as a tool and guide for teachers to describe learning materials systematically to deliver teaching materials more creatively and enthusiastically. In addition, the media helps increase the interest and motivation of students so that students can stimulate and receive material well and quickly understand it. And can increase student creativity so that students are active and promptly digest the learning delivered. Effective learning will require a conducive classroom atmosphere to achieve learning objectives. Using such a method, students only focus on listening to the teacher, quickly feeling bored. By applying the capcut application, teachers can be helped both in explaining the material and by making students not forget to study at home.
