Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la asociación entre la aptitud motriz de estudiantes universitarios de primer ingreso y su desempeño académico en los dos periodos lectivos de inicio de la carrera de Educación Física, Deporte y Recreación. Participaron 83 voluntarios (Hombres = 60, Mujeres = 23) de la Universidad Veracruzana, México. La aptitud motriz se evaluó con ocho pruebas y el rendimiento académico se midió con el promedio ponderado de dos periodos consecutivos. Los análisis de regresión múltiple mostraron que el salto sin carrera (modelo 1), y gimnasia y encestes de baloncesto (modelo 2) predicen el rendimiento académico. En conclusión, la aptitud motriz predice parcialmente el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de primer ingreso.AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the association between the motor skills of first-year university students and their academic performance in the two initial academic terms of the Physical Education, Sports and Recreation degree. Eighty-three volunteers participated (Men = 60, Women = 23) from the Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico. Motor skills were evaluated with eight tests and academic performance was measured with the weighted average of two consecutive terms. Multiple regression analyses showed that standing jumping (model 1), and gymnastics and effective basketball throws (model 2) predicted academic performance. In conclusion, motor skills partially predict academic performance in first-year students

El propósito del estudio fue determinar la tasa de incidencia de lesiones y el de riesgo de lesión en el estudiantado de primer año de la Carrera Ciencias del Movimiento Humano de la Universidad de Costa Rica durante el año lectivo 2014. Es un estudio prospectivo en el que participaron 47 estudiantes, quienes voluntariamente completaron el consentimiento informado y un cuestionario de autoreporte para conocer la presencia de lesiones y hábitos de actividad física. A los participantes se les indicó que cada lunes del semestre debían reportar la presencia de alguna lesión ocurrida durante la semana anterior y que debían sacar una cita médica para un diagnóstico preciso. Se encontró que el 31.8% de los estudiantes (80% mujeres y 20% hombres) ingresaron lesionados a la carrera (p < 0.001). Durante el año de seguimiento, 59.5% de la población estudiantil presentó una lesión nueva. Hubo 37 lesiones nuevas, 24 (64.9%) en mujeres y 13 (35.1%) en hombres, siendo las de rodilla y muslo las más frecuentes. Estas lesiones ocurren principalmente en el contexto extracurricular. El riesgo de lesión para la población fue de 0.79 y la tasa de incidencia 2.00 lesiones/1000 h de exposición. Se concluye que la población estudiantil masculina y femenina de primer año de la carrera de Ciencias del Movimiento Humano de la Universidad de Costa Rica es vulnerable a la presencia de lesiones en el tren inferior, mostrando una mayor cantidad de lesiones en el segundo semestre del año. Se necesitan estudios longitudinales para conocer la evolución y atención de las lesiones a lo largo de la carrera.Abstract. The purpose of the study was to determine the incidence rate of injuries and the risk of injury on first-year students of the Human Movement Sciences Program from the University of Costa Rica during the school year 2014. In this prospective study, 47 students voluntarily completed an informed consent and a self-report questionnaire to determine injuries and physical activity habits. Participants were instructed that every Monday of the semester should report any injury that occurred during the previous week, and to make a doctor’s appointment for an accurate diagnostic. Results indicated that 31.8% of the first-year students (80% women, 30% men) entered the program already injured (p < 0.001). During the follow-up year, 59.5% of the student population reported a new injury. There were 37 new lesions, 24 (64.9%) in women and 13 (35.1%) in men, being the knee and thigh the most frequent injuries. These lesions occurred mainly in the extracurricular context. The injury risk for the population was 0.79 and the incidence rate of 2.00 injuries/1000-h of exposure. In conclusion, the first-year male and female student population of the Human Movement Sciences Program at the University Costa Rica is vulnerable to injuries in the lower body, with a greater number of injuries in the second semester of the year. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine the evolution and care of injuries throughout the program.

Part of motor fitness, speed is an extremely important motor skill, which ensures the success and efficiency of the performed activities, being nevertheless dependent on the genetic component. Thus, this skill is difficult to train as compared to other motor skills. The experimental study included 31 girls and 59 boys, first year students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport from Galați, who were involved in the practical activities corresponding to the curriculum, comprising 7 subjects per semester and a number of 196 hours during 2015 – 2016 university year. The difference between the averages obtained in the initial and final tests and the statistical processing of these results allowed us to determine both those speed manifestation forms for which progress is achievable and the situations in which the statistically significant progress is limited, regardless of the effort put in the activities and of the diversity of the stimuli used. The practical activities in which students were involved were varied and focused on different types of speed and its combination with other skills, the level of student involvement being high. The fact that the two groups obtained significant progress and similar correlation indices in most tests allowed us to draw some general conclusions. Nonetheless, for the studied groups, there were also some situations in which certain specific features had to be taken into account such as the sex or the level of motor skills, which influenced the final results. Students’ progress in most tests highlight the optimization possibilities of the fitness level regarding speed and its combinations at a biological and chronological age for which the effort potential and the motor performance should be at an extremely high level.

The objective is to determine the peculiarities of developing motor skills in the first-third-year students.Materials & methods: the participants in the study were male students of the first year (n = 32), second year (n = 32), and third year (n = 32) of training. To achieve the tasks set, the study relied on the following research methods: analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical testing, pedagogical observation and experiment. The study used the methods of mathematical planning of a complete factorial experiment to obtain a mathematical model of training modes.Results: the increase in the number of sets to twelve times, the number of repetitions in each set – to three times, and the rest interval – to 60 seconds positively impact the effectiveness of the first-third-year students’ training. The choice of training modes depends on the number of repetitions in a set for the first-year students; reduction in the rest interval to 60 seconds for the second-year students; the relation between the number of sets and the number of repetitions in a set for the third-year students.Conclusions: The 23-type experiment made it possible to study the multi-factorial structure of training modes of teaching technical elements to the first-third-year students; to specify the optimal relation between the number of sets, the number of repetitions in a set and rest intervals at the stage of teaching to serve a direct volleyball overhand.

The purpose of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of a video and three different formats of static pictures (simultaneous-permanent pictures, sequential-transient pictures and sequential-permanent pictures) on the acquisition and retention of a complex judo skill in novice young adults. One hundred and thirty-three first-year students in the certificate in Physical Education (PE) were randomly assigned to either: a static-simultaneous-permanent pictures condition (n = 30), a static-sequential-transient pictures condition (n = 29), a static-sequential permanent pictures condition (n = 36) or a video condition (n = 38). They were instructed to observe and reproduce a complex judo technique (Ippon-Seoi-Nage) immediately after the learning phase (including a sequence of three trials—the acquisition phase) and after one week without observation (the retention phase). The results showed that the continuous video generated better learning performances than all static pictures formats. Moreover, it has been shown that sequential-permanent pictures presentation was more effective than static simultaneous-permanent pictures and sequential-transient pictures. In addition to the human movement effect, complementary explanations in terms of cognitive load theory, perceptual continuity, mental animation and intrinsic motivation are suggested. Implications of the results for the effective design of instructional materials within PE context are discussed.

The aim of this research was to find out the ability of the first year students in speaking by using storytelling at MAS. Al-Jam’iyatul Wasliyah. The design of this research was descriptive research. The population of this research was 20 students of XC class in the first grade at MAS. Al-Jam’iyatul Wasliyah. In selecting the sample the writer used random sampling technique. The total number of the sample was 12 students. The data was collected by using oral test. The researcher only measured the ability of students’ speaking in storytelling by considering five components of speaking: (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension). And their speaking had been recorded by using phone recorder. From the result of analyzing the data, the researcher found that the students’ speaking ability by using storytelling was moderate. It proved by the fact that 4 students (33.33%) classified as high ability, 4 students (33.33%) classified as moderate ability, and 4 students (33.33%) classified as low ability. Based on the data, the students’ score were bigger in the high and moderate level than in the low ability level. Based on the research finding, the English teacher is suggested to consider the five components in scoring speaking ability (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension). The students are suggested to do more practice in pronunciation and fluency, because they dominantly speak incorrect pronunciation and have pauses in the sentences. Students are also suggested to enrich their vocabulary by using storytelling.

This study was aimed at finding out the effect of using Noting, Interacting, Summarizing, and Prioritizing Strategy on Students’ Achievement in Reading Comprehension. This study was designed with the experimental design. The population of this study was the first year students at academic 2013/2012 of SMA swasta YP St. Paulus Martubung, Medan. There were fourty students taken as the sample of the research. The sample was divided into two groups: the first group (20 students) as the experimental group and the second group (20 students) as the control group. The experimental group was taught by Using Noting, Interacting, Summarizing, and Prioritizing Strategy, while the control group was taught by using conventional method. The instrument for collecting the data was multiple choices which consisted of 40 items. To obtain the reliability of the test, the researcher used Kuder -Richardson (KR-21) formula. The calculation showed that the reliability of the test was 0.75. The data were calculated by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis shows that t-observed (4.98) was higher than t-table (2.025) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 and the degree of freedom (df) 38. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It meant that teaching reading comprehension by using Noting, Interacting, Summarizing, and Prioritizing Strategy significantly affects reading comprehension.
