The existing paper deals with a primary objective; to examine the relationship between hockey coaches and performance of field hockey players in socio-interaction approach. The secondary objective was to measure the field performance of hockey players on practical measures. The research methodology is based on both descriptive and inferential statistical approaches. The descriptive data was collected in the form of field performance tests (technical skills and fitness capabilities) while the inferential data perceived by players was collected using survey questionnaire. Adopted field performance test measures and survey questionnaire were employed. 296 national field hockey players of Pakistan were selected from national departments of field hockey as samples. The field performance tests and the relationship were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation analysis respectively. The results of the field performance tests were found below than average (weaker) in technical skills and fitness capabilities. However, the findings of the inferential analysis revealed that all constructs of hockey coaches have significant positive relationship with all variables of performance of field hockey players. The significance level was found at the 0.01 (2-tailed).

<p>The primary objective of the existing paper deals with to examine the relationship of hockey coaches and team cohesion with the performance of field hockey players of Pakistan and their impact on players’ performance. However the secondary objective was to measure the field performance of hockey players on practical measures. The research methodology is based on both descriptive and inferential statistical approaches. The descriptive data was collected in the form of field performance tests (technical skills and fitness capabilities) while the inferential data perceived by players was collected using survey questionnaire. A number of 296 national field hockey players of Pakistan were selected from 14 national departments of field hockey as samples. Descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regression analysis were employed through SPSS (version 21.0). The results of the field performance tests were found below than average (weaker) in technical skills and fitness capabilities of national field hockey players of Pakistan. However, the findings of the inferential analysis revealed that hockey coaches and team cohesion have positive and significant relationships with the performance of field hockey players. Implications of existing study were also briefed.<strong></strong></p>

The present study examined the relationship between the emotions experienced by 15 international hockey players, both immediately before and during competition, and their performance levels. Data were collected on the players' emotional states using a revised version of the Feelings Scale of Butler, which was completed retrospectively after the match was played. Players reported more annoyance and less tension during the match than before. A logistic regression correctly classified 70.2% of players from the emotional ratings immediately before the match and 85.1% of the players from the ratings during the match as either a good or poor performer. Those individuals who performed well retrospectively reported feeling Nervous and ‘Quick/Alert/Active’ before the game and Confident and Relaxed during the game. The results indicate that emotions fluctuate over the competition period, and in long duration sports assessment of emotion during competition predicts variation in performance better than assessment prior to competition.

This research is a classroom action research with the analysis of quantitative descriptive data conducted in one cycle for learning the concept of puberty and two cycles for learning skills using sanitary napkins. The subjects of the study were 6 students with mental retardation. Data collection methods in this study are documentation, observation and tests. The instruments used to collect data include instruments of learning process observation, knowledge test questions and performance test assessment formats. The completeness of classical learning about understanding the concept of puberty can be seen from the results of the cycle I knowledge test which shows 83% of students have obtained a knowledge test score of ≥ 70%. Improving skills in using sanitary napkins can be seen from the results of knowledge tests and performance tests. The students' first cycle knowledge test results show 67% of students get knowledge test scores ≥ 70% and increase 83% in cycle II. The results of the first cycle of student performance tests showed 67% of students got a performance test score of ≥ 70% and increased 100% in cycle II. Classical learning completeness cycle II compared to cycle I on knowledge tests increased 16% and performance tests increased 33%. The results of the study concluded that understanding the concept of puberty and the skills to use sanitary napkins for mentally retarded students increased with direct learning using modeling methods.Keywords: Concept of Puberty, Direct Learning, Modeling Methods.


This paper discusses about various methods involved in detection of avian pox in the birds using images. Digital images are corrupted while sending and receiving the images because of noisy sensors which degrade the quality of image. Pre-processing becomes an initial and crucial step in image processing to remove the noise and maintain fine details and texture of the image. Pre-processed images can be used for further work. Mean, Median, Weiner, Mean Maximum, Mean Minimum filters are used and performance tests are made using Signal Noise Ratio. Based on the performance test, removal of impulse noise is well done by Median filter and produces the best result when compared to other filters. K-Means clustering and SVM are used for identification of the disease.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three different media in teaching a specific motor skill. Validated lessons utilizing three different media — motion/sound, slide/sound, and story boards — were used to teach basic manipulations of the M203 Grenade Launcher. Written and performance tests, derived directly from the instructional objectives, were used to evaluate the learning. As evaluated by the performance test, learners using motion film performed significantly better than those using either slides or workbooks, and required significantly less time. Written tests, however, failed to detect this difference. These results suggest that much previous research comparing media may have been inconclusive due to defects in experimental design, such as using a written test to measure motor skills taught by visual media.

A volunreer sample of 50 competitive field hockey players completed the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory at pre- and postseason and prospectively collected injury data over a 20-wk. season. Multiple regression analysis showed no relationship between scores on Self-esteem and the number of injuries, the participation time affected due to injury, and sex of players. Further multiple regression analysis showed that frequency of the more severe injuries significantly predicted scores on Self-esteem. This finding can be interpreted as evidence of the relationship between low self-esteem and injury in sport.

Abstract Background Physical function limitations precede disability and are a target to prevent or delay disability in aging adults. The objective of this article was to assess the relationship between self-report and performance-based measures of physical function with disability. Methods Baseline data (2012–2015) from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (n = 51,338) was used. Disability was defined as having a limitation for at least one of 14 activities of daily living. Physical function was measured using 14 questions across three domains (upper body, lower body, and dexterity) and five performance-based tests (gait speed, timed up and go, single leg stance, chair rise, and grip strength). Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between physical function operationalized as (i) at least one limitation, (ii) presence or absence of limitations in each individual domain/test, and (iii) number of domains/tests with limitations, with disability. Results In the 21,241 participants with self-reported function data, the odds of disability were 1.87 (95% CI: 1.56–2.24), 6.78 (5.68–8.08), and 14.43 (11.50–18.1) for one, two, and three limited domains, respectively. In the 30,097 participants with performance-based measures of function, the odds of disability ranged from 1.53 (1.33–1.76) for one test limited to 14.91 (11.56–19.26) for all five tests limited. Conclusions Both performance-based and self-report measures of physical function were associated with disability. Each domain and performance test remained associated with disability after adjustment for the other domains and tests. Disability risk was higher when the number of self-report domains and performance-based limitations increased.

Abstract In many countries completing the performance test requirements is obligatory only for stallions, but some breeders also decide for the assessment of their mares’ performance under standardized conditions. This study is aimed the evaluation of sex related effects on behavioral and physiological reactivity in fearfulness test and performance test scores in Polish warmblood horses of Małopolska breed (22 mares and 34 stallions) assessed at the training station. Equine reactivity to potentially frightening stimuli was assessed in the fearfulness test by behavior scoring and heart rate monitoring. Horses of both sexes were assessed in standardized performance tests accordingly to the rules of performance tests given in the Breeding Program for the Małopolski Horse Breed by the Polish Horse Breeders Association. The mares showed a significantly more quiet response in the fearfulness test in comparison to stallions. A relation among some reactivity and performance traits in both sexes was found. The behavior scores of the fearfulness test were positively correlated with character and temperament only in mares. However, the better the scores for temperament and character the stallions received, the lower the heart rate before testing. The present study demonstrates that temperament and character assessment, as a part of the standardized performance test, should involve not only a subjective trainer’s evaluation, but also a horse reactivity assessment based on objective behavioral tests and heart rate monitoring. The results showed that sex has an effect on behavioral reactivity of horses. Thus, it is important to consider the horses’ sex during selection for a particular type of riding, and performance assessment should be obligatory for both sexes. The assessment of the same performance traits in both, stallions and mares, significantly improves good breeding practice.
