“…Embodied learning activities may engage the motor system and high-order cognitive functions, such as reflective thinking or memory recall (4). Embodied learning has been described as an integral relationship between the body and mind (e.g., performing letters or verbs with the hands or using movements while doing math) and is often implemented as a part of physically active learning (PAL) activities in the school curriculum (4,(6)(7)(8).…”

Introduction Physical activity (PA) interventions in schools can improve children’s overall PA levels and positively affect academic performance. However, implementing PA during the school day can be challenging in the complex school setting. Many school-based PA studies do not present their interventions’ design processes, although this knowledge is important to replicate the intervention. Purpose This article aims to provide insights into the collaborative design process of the two PA interventions for third-grade pupils of the ACTIVE SCHOOL project. The evidence-based interventions focus on PA integrated into academic content (Move & Learn intervention) as embodied learning or PA as moderate to vigorous activity performed during the school day (Run, Jump & Fun intervention). The study’s objective was to engage teachers and pedagogues early in the design process to ensure the design was tailored to practice. Methods A team consisting of researchers, school staff, and experts were involved in the design process. The process lasted one school year and comprised three phases: exploration and analysis, construction and design, and reflection and evaluation. Multiple methods were used, including focus group interviews, a design workshop, and observations of iterative in-school testing. Results The result of the analysis and exploration phase was a set of learning points based on information about school culture, school staff competences, and needs. The design and construction phase produced a set of intervention skeletons, which were the actual elements of the interventions. The evaluation and reflection phase created the main results, which are specific principles and multifaceted implementation strategies for Move & Learn and Run, Jump & Fun, respectively. Finally, dose and timing of the interventions were specified. Conclusion Collaboration with schools and an iterative approach were determinants for designing interventions appropriate to the Danish school context and school staff practice.

Background and purpose. At the current stage, the importance of training basketball players during their studies at higher education institutions is growing. After all, it is precisely at the age of 18-25 years, which coincides with the age of studying at the university, that the highest rate of increase in sports achievements of basketball players is observed. But combining sports training with professional development, which requires studying at a university, has difficulties. It is difficult for the coach to take into account the psychological and psychophysiological characteristics of the students of the basketball team. Such features include the properties of the nervous system, its mobility, lability, strength, endurance, as well as the type of thinking based on the predominance of the right or left hemisphere of the brain, that is, imaginative (artistic) or logical (mental). Purpose: to develop and experimentally justify the methodology of training basketball teams of humanitarian higher educational institutions, taking into account the psychophysiological capabilities of the players. Material and methods. 23 students - players of the national basketball team H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University. Athletes were divided into 2 groups, control (n=12) and experimental (n=11). In the experimental group, a specially developed technology for training basketball players was used, taking into account the peculiarities of the nervous system and the type of thinking of students of humanitarian universities, that is, high mobility and lability and low endurance of the nervous system with a predominance of the artistic type of thinking. The technology included exercises for the development of speed qualities in combination with informational means of influencing the perception of technical and tactical elements in basketball. Research methods: analysis of modern literature, methods of determining the physical and technical level of athletes, methods of determining the level of attention, methods of determining the ability to concentrate and switch attention, methods of statistical analysis. Results. In the study, based on the results of the literature analysis, the psychophysiological features of students of humanitarian universities were determined. These features consist in the predominance of mobility and lability of the nervous system over endurance. On the basis of these data, a method of training basketball teams of humanitarian higher educational institutions was developed. Special informational methods of influence on the perception of basketball players of humanitarian higher educational institutions of the elements of basketball technique and tactics have been developed. These methods correspond to the imaginative, artistic type of thinking of students of humanitarian universities and the peculiarities of their nervous system - high mobility and lability in combination with a low level of endurance development. Conclusions. The method of training basketball players of student teams, based on the psychophysiological characteristics of students of humanitarian universities, is effective for improving the level of special physical fitness of players, as well as the technical and tactical skills of basketball students of humanitarian universities.
