“…The instrument used in this study is the standing broad jump test to measure leg muscle power (Krishnan et al, 2017;Pérez-Castilla et al, 2021;Tai et al, 2021;Pinoniemi et al, 2021;Zulrafli & Kamarudin, 2021). To measure muscle flexibility, use sit and reach test (Fredrick & Silverman, 2020;Blackshear et al, 2018;Lindsay et al, 2021;Ayán Pérez et al, 2020;Mier, 2011;Abate Daga et al, 2021). The division of the treatment group and the control group in this study used the A-B-B-A subject matching technique.…”

Football is one of the sports with the highest risk of injury, with injuries to children around 3% per year with serious injuries occurring at only 0.69% per year. The objective of the study is to investigate the application of FIFA 11+ Kids in minimizing sports injuries in youth football through enhancement components of physical condition, namely, leg muscle power and muscle flexibility. This study is an quasi-experimental research by using a pre-test - post-test control group design. The sample in this study are 20 people, divided into control and treatment groups. In this study, the sample is determined using a purposive sampling technique, with the following inclusion criteria: 1) male, 2) 11-12 years old, 3) practicing football regularly, 3) willing to be a research sample. In contrast, the criteria exclusion is experienced injured and unwilling to be a research sample. The distribution of control and treatment groups using matching subject ABBA technique. Instruments used in this research are the standing broad jump test to measure leg muscle power and sit and reach test to measure muscle flexibility. The data analysis is a t-test regression analysis with a level of 5% significance. This study found that the application of FIFA 11+ Kids can be used as a method to minimize sports injuries in youth football. The limitation of this study is that the sample is limited to only 20 children. This research is important because it contributes to the science of football coaching in terms of preventing injuries to children. Future research is expected to thoroughly examine the components of other physical conditions related to injury prevention, and use a larger sample from various age groups of soccer school students.

“…A a result, the 53 teacher candidates earned a 3.53 GPA on the content knowledge in sports/physical activities and skill proficiency (CKSP). Compared to the skills tests, there were more records on teacher candidates' fitness levels in the literature; however, the results were inconclusive because the five health-related fitness components were measured by different testing protocols and each protocol had a different set of standards to identify the fitness levels [12,[18][19][20][21] . Two extreme results that illustrated this drawback could be found in the following studies.…”

“…Two extreme results that illustrated this drawback could be found in the following studies. Pulling from Jackson-Pollock's three-site skinfold test, Cooper's 12-minute run/walk, ACSM's push-up and curlup tests, and YMCA's sit and reach test, Blackshear and colleagues reported an overall passing rate of 36.8% for male and 50.8% for female exercise science majors and physical education teacher candidates [18] . Solely using Cooper's Fitnessgram, the teacher candidates in Petersen and colleagues research reported an 82% passing rate on all five testing items (i.e., 1-mile run, body mass index, sit and reach, curl-ups, and push-ups) [12] .…”

Physical education teacher education (PETE) programs prepare teacher candidates to be competent and employed in P-12 school settings. This study examined the relationship between competency and first-year job obtainment in physical education (PE). Participants included 111 teacher candidates from two schools. Participants’ competency in content knowledge in Kinesiology and sub-disciplines (CKKH), content knowledge in sport and skill proficiency (CKSP) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and first-year job obtainment in PE were collected. Descriptive statistics, independent-samples t tests, and multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the data. The overall sample showed participants were most competent in PCK, followed by CKSP and CKKH. Female participants were more competent in PCK than their male counterparts, and those at School A performed better in CKSP and PCK than their peers at School B. As a sample, more than half of the participants (55.9%) obtained PE jobs. There was a significance between the overall sample and female participants’ competency in CKKH and their first-year employment in PE. This study was limited by sample size, variances in courses between the two schools, and by the defined timeline to clarify first-year PE employment. Implications regarding the importance of CKKH and first-year employment were discussed.

“…However, a study of HPE teachers attending a national US HPE conference a decade later reported that even 'physical and health educators who are dedicated to the profession… are still not achieving wellness across the board' (p.14) on a measure of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual health (Esslinger et al 2014). More recent US studies tend to report that fitness levels are poor, and label pre-service teachers as 'unfit to teach' (Hunt et al 2017) despite around 70-80% of participants in Physical Education Teacher Education [PETE] programs passing individual components of fitness (Blackshear, Barton, and Moxley 2018). Some universities have also adopted physical fitness requirements for their physical education graduates, with electronic fitness report cards, but few are yet to prevent students from graduating if they do not meet these standards (Blackshear, Barton, and Moxley 2018).…”

Background: Health and Physical Education (HPE) teachers are in a unique position to act as role models to their students.Purpose: To explore the expectations, beliefs and attitudes towards role modelling of health behaviours by pre-service teachers who were specialising in HPE, and those who were not. Study Design: Cross-sectional, Survey Design Method: N=637 pre-service teachers (who were in the first three weeks of their undergraduate Bachelor of Education course at three universities in Australia) completed self-report questionnaires asking about attitudes and beliefs toward role modelling of health behaviours. Comparison of attitudes and beliefs between those studying Health and Physical Education (HPE) and those studying other curriculum areas (classified as Bachelor of Education or non-HPE) were made.Results: We found both gender and degree-based differences in attitudes towards role modelling. Men were found to believe more so than women that HPE teachers should maintain a slim, athletic build which makes them appear as though they are fit and healthy.Male teacher education students who were not specialising in HPE were more likely than male HPE students to believe that Health and Physical Educators should maintain a 'slim, athletic appearance' and engage in regular physical activity.Conclusion: Pressure for HPE teachers to meet appearance and role modelling expectations may be coming more from men, and more from generalist teachers, as opposed to coming from within the profession. This research contributes to the debate regarding the fitness expectations of HPE teachers and has implications for physical education teacher education programs.
