RESEARCH ON THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS’ EXERCISE IN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

ABSTRACT Introduction: The essence of sustainable development is ecological civilization. The entire modern development, including sports in colleges and universities, is built based on resource conservation, enhanced environmental support capabilities, and a virtuous ecological environment cycle to achieve sustainable economic and social development. Objective: Looking at the development history of sports in Chinese colleges and universities for more than 50 years, there have been many successful experiences in human resource development, and there are also many problems that need to be solved. Methods: The author took 442 people from 4 provinces as the survey object, researched and discussed the evaluation indicators of the sustainable development of sports in colleges and universities. After factor analysis and professional theoretical research, a total of 15 indicators in 5 categories were established: science and technology, moral education, system Standard category, economic, competitive development category, external input category, and the coach training system category that eliminates “inbreeding.” Results: The author found in the research that both sports and non-sports families in China are unwilling to engage in sports and college sports for their children. The main reasons are traditional ideological issues, sports social status issues, and athletes’ education issues. Among them, coaches, the “inbreeding” training system is one of the main reasons that affect the sports talent resources of colleges and universities in China. Conclusions: There can be at least five types of evaluation indicators for the sustainable development of sports in Chinese colleges and universities: science and technology and ethics education, institutional norms, economic and competitive development, external investment, and a coach training system that eliminates inbreeding. The income of sports families is generally lower than that of non-sports families, and their education level is also lower.

Coach training: Impact beyond coach training

The aim of this study is to know the impact of coach training on coaches' personal and professional lives in various areas of development. A self-report questionnaire and an interview methodology were used to collect data using a within-subject design. The results of the study show that there is a significant improvement in the various areas of development impacting both the personal and professional life of the coach in a positive manner. The practical implications of the study are further discussed.

Coach Training Within the Covid-19 Pandemic: Challenges and Potential Pathways

In this article we aim to provide insights about the challenges stakeholders in Portugal and across the globe may face throughout the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic to reorganize coach training programs and suggest strategies to help coaches learn. Such reflection may help stakeholders across socio-cultural contexts consider the consequences of the changes made to coach training programs, the rationale for these decisions and the need to acknowledge existent challenges such as lower course completion rates, pressures to deliver the curriculum and dilemmatic decisions about course format. Furthermore, we also suggest pathways for stakeholders to develop strategies that consider contextual variables and contribute to meaningful learning. Based on the Portuguese context, several issues are discussed.

SUMMER TRAINING CAMPS AS A FORM OF SKI JUMPING TRAINING

The research purpose is to theoretically substantiate, develop, experimentally test and measure the impact of summer training camps with simultaneous advanced coach training. The research methodology and organization. The research subject was summer training camps with simultaneous advanced coach training, in the framework of the grant program of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation. The program title is ‘Fly to your Dream!’ Sports-educational cluster - the innovative form of the sports training system enhancement’. The training camp program included ski jumping training, advanced coach training, medical and pedagogical observations, as well as educational and leisure activities for the athletes attending the ‘Snezhinka’ [‘Snowflake’] Federal Winter Sports Training Center based at Tchaikovsky State Physical Education Institute. The research results. Over 4.5 million viewers watched a series of «Fly to your Dream» education videos. 65 coaches attended a series of online training seminars in the framework of advanced training courses. 84 flying skiers aged under 14 years took part in the first International ‘Fly to your dream!’ online festival. The overwhelming majority of the surveyed project participants noted the importance of such activity as a tool for popularization and promotion of ski jumping and biathlon skiing (265 people), and as a form of training process (213 people). Сonclusion. The authors conclude that the format suggested for the training process can be recommended for biathlon skiers and other athletes.

Through the lens of work-integrated learning: Staff experiences of participating in person-centredness coach training in a Swedish hospital

Background/Objective: Over the past decade, many scientific articles have focused on the importance of person-centred care (or person centredness) in the health care sector. In practice, however, person centredness is difficult to operationalise. Thus, the role of “person-centredness coach” was created in a Swedish hospital to provide information, education, and reflection on person centredness. The aim was to describe this new role of a person-centeredness coach, and how the coaches experienced the development of a person-centred working method.Methods: Qualitative semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with nine nursing staff. The data were analysed using inductive content analysis.Results: The analysis resulted in three categories with seven subcategories: an eye opener (with the subcategories of a welcome change and person centredness throughout the organisation); an obstacle with potential (with the subcategories of theoretical vs. practical development of person centredness, difficulties in developing person centredness and proposals for promoting patient participation); and a challenging role (with the subcategories of necessary but a role that takes a long time to develop and the importance of favourable conditions).Conclusions: The person-centredness coaches believed that the person-centred approach was important and that it should be the foundation of all care work within health care but, despite this, had difficulty in integrating person centredness into their practice. The person-centredness coaches found the coach training rewarding. They perceived that, from a learning perspective and through the lens of work-integrated learning, the results could be related to creating praxis, which may be seen as a development area for further research in operationalising person centredness.
