Purpose Philosophical inquiries into physical education and sport pedagogy(PESP) have not been active until lately. A renewed interested has grown as scholars in UK and European countries have begun philosophical analysis since 2000. This study purports to review the philosophical studies in PESP during the last 50 years, and to forecast the future of SP in Korea based on its strength and weakness. Methods Literature review is adopted as the main method, as the philosophical study requires the conceptual analysis on the ideas. The past research, current main studies and future prospects are analyzed according to the three layers of the professional, the theoretical, and the personal dimensions. Results First, in the professional dimension, the philosophical inquiry by the SP philosophers and the educational inquiry by the sport philosophers are identified. Second, in the theoretical dimension, the exploration on the nature of research in PESP, the suggestions of PE models, the examination of teaching-learning in PE, the promotion of teacher/coach education and professional development, and the analysis of PE curriculum issues and policies are actively produced. Third, in the personal dimension, the practitioner research by PE teacher/professor/coach and the self-study of sport coaches have are begun to be conducted. Conclusions For the prospect of PESP in Korea, it can be said that study in the first dimension would not be bright, where as those of the second and the third would be very good for the near future.
Purpose The present study compared physical fitness, metabolic syndrome risk factors, and resting metabolic rate (RMR) according to body mass index (BMI) and percent body fat (%BF) in 20s females. Methods Fifty-one women in their 20s were recruited and assigned into three groups, i.e., normal group (n=18), normal weight obesity (NWO) group (n=18), and obesity group (n=15) according to BMI and %BF. Physical fitness, metabolic syndrome risk factors, and RMR were measured and compared among three groups. Results Main results were as follows: 1) Physical fitness were not significantly different among three groups. 2) Regarding 1-RM, arm curl and leg extension were significantly lower in normal group and NWO group than obesity group. Leg press was significantly lower in normal group than obesity group. 3) Regarding metabolic syndrome risk factors, there were significant differences in waist circumference, ordering from low to high such as normal, NWO, and obesity groups. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower in normal group and NWO group than obesity group, while HDL-C was significantly higher in normal group than NWO group and obesity group. 4) Regarding RMR, absolute values of RMR such as VO2(㎖·min-1), RMR (Kcal·min-1), RMR (KJ·min-1), and RMR (Kcal·day-1) were significantly lower in normal group and NWO group than obesity group. On the other hand, relative value of RMR such as RMR (KJ·kg-1FW·h-1) was significantly higher in normal group than NWO group and obesity group. Conclusions It was concluded that obese women showed increased risk of metabolic syndrome and low relative RMR level, and NWO had similar problems. Active health management through physical activity and dietary control should be committed to NWO individuals because the NWO has possibility of high risk of metabolic syndrome and reduction of metabolic rate from 20s even though there was no problem in their external appearance.
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the nutrient intakes and diet quality of national youth badminton players participating in summer camp training in 2016. Methods Total of 40 middle school players and 60 high school players were included in the study. Two players with skipped meals were excluded from the final target. Food intake data for the 3-day using 24-hour recall method were obtained and analyzed using the CAN-pro 5.0 (Web ver. Korean Nutrition Society, Korea). Differences in nutrient intakes and diet quality were compared between middle school players and high school players using independent samples t-test. Results Intakes of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, folic acid, calcium, chloride, magnesium, and zinc in both groups were lower than (RNI) recommended intakes of KDRIs. On the other hand, intake of sodium significantly exceeded the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) of KDRIs in both groups. The NARs (Nutrient Adequacy Ratio) of vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, calcium and zinc were less than 0.75 in both groups. The NARs of 11 nutrients except for folic acid were significantly lower in high school players. The MAR (Mean Adequacy Ratio) of middle school players was 0.78, significantly higher than 0.64 of high school players. The INQs (Index of Nutritional Quality) of vitamin C, vitamin B6, folic acid, calcium and zinc were less than 0.75 in both groups. The INQs of vitamin A, vitamin B6 and zinc were significantly lower in high school players. On the other hand, the total DDS (Dietary Diversity Score) of high school players was 3.88, significantly higher than 3.29 of middle school players. The DDS of fruit group as well as milk and dairy group were particularly low. Conclusions The results suggest that balanced diet managed by professional dieticians along with nutrition education should be implemented to improve nutrients intake and diet quality of national youth badminton players.
Purpose The present study explored biological autonomy and control of function in circumstances that assessed a presumed relationship to an environmental cycle. An understanding of this behavior appeals to the organism-environment system rather than simply the organism—we seek to expose the laws that underlie end-directed capabilities by measuring biological characteristics (motor synchrony) in an environmental cycle (circadian temperature). Methods Participants (n = 24) at the University of Connecticut (Storrs, USA) and the Seoul National University (Seoul, Korea) served in the study. The production of in-phase bi-manual coordination was examined at different circadian points (allowing comparison of day-night temperature effects) in two experimental designs; (1) normal temperature embedded in a 24 hour cycle (5:00, 12:00, 17:00, and 24:00), and (2) normal versus abnormal temperature [artificially decreasing or increasing] while embedded at two points (5:00 am, 5:00 pm) during the circadian process. A typical bi-manual stability measure varied significantly as a function of the day-night temperature cycle. Results While (i) circadian effects under the artificially perturbed temperature manipulation were not straightforward along the day-night temperature cycle, (ii) the circadian effect divided by the ordinary circadian seems to be constant along the day-night temperature cycle. Conclusions The discovery of direct and robust relation between biological aspects (body temperature and motor synchrony) an environmental process (circadian temperature cycle) may echo adaptation of our biological system to the environment. This relation supports the claim that the organism and the environment should be considered as integrated system in which biological (or physical) dynamics takes place as a mutual factor.
Purpose This study aims to explore the association between the awareness of naturalized players and the awareness of recruiting naturalized players for national players among sport fans. Methods Survey was conducted among 1,050 fans in professional sport, amateur sport, sport cafes at portal website among which 928 papers were used for final analysis. Collected data was processed by using SPSS 21.0 program. T-test, one-way ANOVA, correction analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to test hypothesis. Results Gender, age, household, and field income showed significant differences in the awareness of achievement among the awareness of naturalized players by fans. Age, school, and field revealed significant differences in the awareness of attitude. Age, school, household income, and field showed remarkable differences in the awareness of field and age and household income showed critical differences in the ascription awareness. Negative awareness showed that gender, age, school, and income were significantly different and the tolerable awareness showed that age, school, household income, and field revealed significantly different among the awareness of recruiting naturalized players for national players. Achievement, attitude, and ascription factors had positive impacts, while field factors had negative impacts in terms of the influence on negative awareness among the awareness recruiting foreign players for national players. In terms of the influence on the tolerable awareness, achievement, attitude, and field affected positively. Conclusions This study demonstrated that fans need to be aware of trust and assurance on achievement, attitude, and field factors of players to induce the recruitment of naturalized players for national players in a tolerable way.
Purpose The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive model for facilitating and hindering factors about girls' participation in physical activities. Methods Based on systematic analysis, 26 foreign journals published from 2005 to 2016 were comprehensively analyzed. The journals were directed to facilitating and hindering factors of girls' physical activities. A model was developed by categorizing various factors in the previous studies, and by conceptualizing those categories, and by creating visualization of relations between the categories. Results Seven facilitating factors are referred to as 'SPORTS', including ‘Self-recognition’, ‘Physical environment’, ‘Opportunities’, ‘Relationship’, ‘Treatment’, and ‘Social supports’. In contrast, nine hindering factors are conceptualized as 'INCAPABLE' which includes 'Internalized gazes’, ‘Negative feedback’, ‘Competitiveness’, ‘Alternativeness’, ‘Perceived danger’, ‘Appearance’, ‘Bad feeling’, ‘Lack of opportunities’, and ‘Effeminate norms'. Conclusions It is suggested that the girls' physical activity patterns vary depending on whether the girls subjectively interpret the physical activity or girls are being objectified by other's evaluation. And those individual, relational, and environmental levels are needed to strengthen the subjectification of girls.
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the Instructor’s adaptation process of school P.E. environment in middle school sports club and to develop substantive level theory. Methods For this purpose, 17 sports instructors who had worked for more than 3 years at the middle school in Seoul were selected as research participants. The method of this study is the Grounded theory(Strauss & Corbin, 1990). Results The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of open coding, the instructor's adaptation process of the school P.E. environment was organized into 104 concepts, 30 sub-categories, and 15 categories. Second, as a result of axial coding, a paradigm model for the adaptation process of the school P.E. environment was formed. Third, as a result of the selective coding, created the storyline of the adaptation process and made the core category, ‘instructor's adaptation process of the school P.E. environment in middle school’. Four types of adaptation process such as 'Acceptance type', 'Effort type', 'Compromising type' and 'Abandoning type' are derived through the formalization applied to the hypothesis of the core category. Conclusions Based on these results, the developed substantive level theory was evaluated and summarized.
Purpose The main purpose of this current study is two-fold. Firstly, it attempts to develop a model to determine the true market value of Korean professional baseball players (hitters only) solely based on their athletic performances on the field. Secondly, it is to provide the evidential data for the market value of baseball players in Korea. Methods The statistical data and performance information were obtained from baseball almanac from KBO from 1997 to 2016. Seven hundred and ninety three players were included for data analysis. Principal component factor analysis was utilized to eliminate multicollinearity among 12 sabermetrics indices (OPS, GPA, SECA, TA, RC, RC/27, XR, ISO, PSN, sOBA, %OW, BABIP) and increase power of explanation of the proposed model with KMO(=0.77), p<0.001. Results The proposed model was successfully developed with YSalary = Years of Experience*921.5 + FA (free agent)*53528.9 + PHI(Power Hitter Index)*7313 + CHI(Contact Hitter Index)*5893.6. Furthermore, the proposed model explained 64.5% of variances of the market value for the Korean professional baseball players and proved to be statistically valid. Conclusions The newly developed model in this study was very helpful for us to identify the variables that affect the true market value of baseball players. It is expected that this model could make an important contribution in determining true market value of the baseball players in Korea.
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the impact of perceived service quality on satisfaction, and behavioral intention in migrant members of German sport clubs. Methods The questionnaire was structured in four sections: perceived service quality (four dimensions and 12 items), satisfaction (two items), and behavioral intention (two items). With data from 438 members of 33 sport clubs in western Germany, SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 were utilized to conduct factor analysis, reliability, validity, and structural equation modeling analysis. Results The results of this study indicated that (1) staff, sport program, interaction, and physical environment in perceived service quality had a significantly influence on satisfaction, (2) staff, sport program, and interaction significantly affected behavioral intention, and (3) satisfaction was found to have significantly impact on behavioral intention. Conclusions The delivery of high-quality services can promote satisfaction, which in turn lead to behavioral intention. The empirical results suggest that the practitioners and sport club mangers should understand the importance of perceived service quality for the retention of members in sport clubs.
Purpose This study aims at investing the educational meanings of school physical education policy by analyzing the direction (ideal goal, goal, objective and program) of the policy in Korea and England. Methods The comparative research design was conducted by the policy literature analysis. In order to clarify the significance of the main discourse embedded the school physical education policy to the educational practice, I used qualitative content analysis based on the interpretive paradigm. Results The school physical education policy in Korea is divided into goal for general students and student athletes for 'happy students and school life', while the policy in England seeks to promote participation of competitive sports through school-community linkage for lifelong sports participation. As a result of the discourse analysis, the ambiguity of school physical education policy due to the complexity of various discourses (e.g. moral development, health, sports) diminishes the effectiveness of policy implementation as well as the teachers’ educational practice. In addition, competition sports discourse has been analyzed to limit the participation of many students in sports and to adversely affect lifelong participation in sports. Conclusions In conclusion, It is necessary to activate theoretical and empirical research that is the basis of building the school physical education policy direction and to establish cooperative governance for the policy implementation. In addition, student participation in lifelong sports and evidence-based policy making and practice are required.
Purpose This purpose of this study was to understand how physical education can contribute to healthy emotions and activities of human beings. Methods We analyze Eva Illouz's emotional capitalism theory, the position and role of emotions in Spinoza, and Durkheim's theory of religious sociology. Results Illouz shows that emotions are coordinated by rationality through the analysis of emotional capitalism, and that expressions of natural emotions are restricted and controlled even in the area of intimacy. In Spinoza, emotions are divided into three emotions: joy, sadness, and desire as concepts of body movements. Emotions reveal that they are closely related to human activity, and emotions of joy are calculated for human emotional development Emphasize the need to organize meetings of possible bodies. Durkheim argues that while society is placed in a religious position, society is the subject of individual praise and the reality of baptizing individuals into morality. At this time, festivals and rituals reveal individuals to be a powerful mechanism that leads to devotion to society and strengthens individual’s sense of community and morality. Conclusions Making physical education classes as festivals enhances students' sense of community. It can also be an activity that allows students to have healthy moral and emotional energy.
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the direction of elective courses of high school physical education in preparation for high school credit system by examining the awareness of physical education teachers of general high school and the selection of elective courses by school for elective courses of 2015 revised high school physical education. Methods We surveyed the perceptions of physical education teachers through questionnaires and examined cases of the current status of 65 general high school programs, The results were analyzed by frequency. Results The results of the study are as follows: First, physical education teachers know the purpose of the course, but they know only about the nature of the subject for some subjects. Second, There was little need to open specialized subject courses for general high school students wishing to enter the physical education field. It should be helpful to cultivate 'basic skills for physical education' in selection of elective subject according to the course of physical education. Students in general high schools regarded ‘attention and interest’ as the most important factor when selecting physical education subjects. Third, the selection schedule of physical education elective courses was the highest in <physical education>, and in most schools, 10 to 12 units of physical education degree were organized. Conclusions The conclusion of this study is that the high school physical education elective subjects need to fully reflect the social needs of the physical education and students' preferences, and the physical education and elective courses for general high school students wishing to enter the physical education department should be reconstructed.
