The purpose of the study is to assess the health status of the 1st – 4th year students in the Department of Drama using the G. Apanasenko method. The somatic health condition determines the incidence of diseases, the performance of students, and their future vocational opportunities. Monitoring the condition of students is an important component of the physical education system implemented at the universities of theater studies in the framework of "Physical education" and "Stage movement" disciplines. Methods and organization of research. The paper presents the results of the survey (September 2020) covering 43 students aged 17-21 years (25 boys and 18 girls) using the G. Apanasenko express method of assessing health condition. The authors measured main vital signs (body length and weight, heart rate, blood pressure, VC, EPOC, post-exercise recovery period) and obtained overall assessment of health condition of each student and its individual indices (mass, vital, strength, Robinson). Research results and their discussion. The research revealed that 53.5% of students have average level of health indicator. However, only 51.2% of indicators fall within the zone of healthy values, while the remaining 48.8% stay below the safe limit. The indicators of 61.1% of girls are in the safe zone, while only 44% of boys fall within this segment. There is a decrease in health indicators of students by the 4th year of study, which is the result of a decrease in their sport activities due to the lack of "Physical education" and "Stage movement" special disciplines. Analysis of the calculated indices highlighted the challenging components of the overall health assessment. Power index provided the lowest indicators. Girls have higher indicator values than boys, as well as the life index indicators. Conclusion. The revealed facts contribute to determination of the direction of further research aimed at the refinement of educational programs on physical education and stage movement.

Do Māori initiatives by Māori and for Māori really help Māori? In order for me to answer this question I will discuss ‘Hokowhitu’, a rangatahi life-skills programme designed specifically for Māori, by Māori, using a kaupapa Māori approach. The programme was part of a research project undertaken by the School of Physical Education at the University of Otago and was aimed at Māori rangatahi who were susceptible to alcohol and drug abuse within their micro-interactive surroundings. After a description of the programme I will finish with a discussion on how the programme influenced me personally with a critical analysis based entirely on my personal thoughts which should not be used to undermine the objectives of the creator of the programme.

But who is being affected, and how? The MOBIS-COVID-19 research project,<br>an initiative of ETH Zurich and the University of Basel, is a continuation of the original<br>MOBIS study. The aim of the project is to get a picture of how the crisis is affecting<br>mobility and everyday life in Switzerland.

Chatsworth is a township, which was consciously designed by the South African apartheid government in order to suppress its residents’ educational, social, financial, spiritual, and physical development. The primary aim of this article is to chronologically describe the history of Physical Education and extra-curricular school sport from 1960 to 2020, in the community of Chatsworth, through review of national, provincial, and local educational policies and extra-curricular school sport management structures. A narrative literature surveillance was completed using Google Scholar and Sabinet. Key search terms were “Chatsworth,” “physical education,” and “school sport.” The search identified 2050 records, of which only six were ultimately included. The records were assessed for researcher, bias employing a modified Downs and Black Appraisal scale.

This aim of this research is to explore and analyze to what extent the strategies to which physical education didacticsin Tunisia contributed to address the duplication of gender stereotypes. A typical approach with binary choiceregression was applied to analyze data obtained from questionnaires completed by 1326 adolescent students (724girls and 602 boys) from Tunisia. Results relieved that sport opportunities are limited by the separate expectations ofmales and females in physical education and sport settings. The analysis reveals that gender stereotypes affect girls'sports activities and that is particularly true for sports suitable for boys. The effect of the appropriated stereotype wassignificantly higher for sports practices perceived as masculine. The research ends with imminent based on thedistinction between gender skills and gender interest and implications for sport activities in order to enhanceparticipation, enjoyment, and wellbeing of people in physical education and sport activities. Hence, the need todevelop an internal logic of practice of sports activities by repeating individual and sexual differences.
