Development of territories through the construction of sports facilities

The current trend of deteriorating health of young people is largely due to the lack of physical activity. Therefore, in order to preserve the health of students, it is necessary to pay increased attention to physical culture. At the same time, health care education involves the achievement of parity between the preservation of the health of students and ensuring their academic achievement. Thus, the process of physical education in high school should be focused on the solution of the corresponding problem.

В статье на основании авторских эмпирических исследований, проведенных в 2017 г. и 2021 г., рассматривается динамика удовлетворенности молодежи г. Казани экологическими и социальными аспектами качества городской среды. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о том, что экологическая обстановка и состояние городской инфраструктуры сохраняют для молодого поколения свою значимость. При сохранении позитивных тенденций относительно большинства показателей, характеризующих экологическую ситуацию, выявлено снижение доли удовлетворенных состоянием водных объектов и санитарным состоянием города. Что касается городской инфраструктуры, то выявлено снижение удовлетворенности ее общим состоянием, а также такими составляющими как количество организованных автостоянок и количество спортивных объектов. Кроме того, в работе анализируются факторы, определяющие привлекательность для молодежи районов города, и выделяются наиболее важные мероприятия, направленные на улучшение качества городской среды. Based on the author's empirical research carried out in 2017 and 2021, the article examines the dynamics of satisfaction of young people in Kazan with the ecological and social aspects of the quality of the urban environment. The data obtained indicate that the ecological situation and the state of the urban infrastructure retain their importance for the younger generation. While maintaining positive trends in relation to most of the indicators characterizing the ecological situation, a decrease in the share of those satisfied with the state of water bodies and the sanitary state of the city was revealed. As for the state of the urban infrastructure, a decrease in satisfaction with its general state, as well as with such components as the number of organized parking lots and the number of sports facilities, was revealed. The work also analyzes the factors that determine the attractiveness of city districts for young people and highlights the most important measures aimed at improving the quality of the urban environment.

Physical education focuses on the development of sports skills as well as fitness for health. In Central European countries there has been a shift in these focuses since the fall of Communism to follow internationally-recognised health-related physical activity recommendations, similar to Western European countries. In this study we investigated the extent to which motivation from school physical education transfers to leisure-time physical activity providing autonomy support by three social agents: school (physical education teachers), family and peers. Our study utilised the Aetological Approach (AA), Ecological Model (EM) and the Trans-Contextual Model (TCM) that consists of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to explore how autonomous motivation is transferred between contexts (physical education, leisure-time and current behaviour). Nine-hundred and seventy-four students aged 11–18 (55% girls) participated in our study from four countries: Hungary, United Kingdom, Romania and Slovakia. A prospective research design was employed, and questionnaires were administered at three time points. Using 7-point Likert scales, attitude, usefulness, and affectiveness were measured. Furthermore, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control (PBC) were tested within TPB. Autonomous and controlling motivation were measured within SDT by administering the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise questionnaires (BREQ and BREQ-2). Finally, past physical activity, intention and current physical activity behaviours were tested. Results indicated that perceived autonomy support from family and friends predicted autonomous motivation towards leisure-time physical activity in all four countries. However, teachers’ behaviour in some Eastern European countries did not predict this transfer. In general, in line with previous literature, boys reported more physical activity than girls. A strong influencing factor in the path model was that past behaviour predicted current behaviour, and according to that factor, boys reported being more active than girls.Boys also perceived more support from PE teachers than girls which was likely to have influenced their autonomous motivation in PE, which in turn transferred to leisure time. We discuss these results in the context of theories exploring the role of motivation and social environment on children’s choices related to physical activity. In conclusion, we suggest providing more autonomy support, especially by schools, for the enhancement of autonomous motivation of young people to promote their leisure time physical activity.

ABSTRACT Introduction The increase in chronic diseases and physical inactivity are major public health problems among elderly populations worldwide. Objective This article aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with the practice of physical activity (PA) among elderly people living in urban environment. Methods A cross-population-based study was conducted in 2014, with 196 elderly people aged ≥ 60 years of age living in urban environment in the city of Passo Fundo, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Gross and multivariable analyses were conducted using Poisson regression, estimating the ratios of gross and adjusted prevalence and calculating their respective 95% confidence intervals. Results The mean age was 71.3 (± 8.4). The gross prevalence for the practice of PA was 56.1%. After adjusted analysis, only the variable independent in activities of daily living (ADLs) remained significant (95% CI 1.05 to 4.83) (p = 0.037). Conclusions This research showed an association between the practice of PA and independence in ADLs. Level of Evidence II, Economic and decision analysis - Development of economic model or decision.

The article analyzes the mechanisms of adaptation of the organism of students to physical activity. It has been determined that the process of adaptation of the organism to the action of physical activity has a phase character. Revealed dependence on the morphological and functional state of various systems of the body. The essence of the concept of physical performance and its importance in adapting the body to physical activity are revealed. In the modern world, the state of health of the population is considered as an indicator of the level of development of civilized society. Physical education and sports occupy a special place in human life and formation, as they are the main means of organizing physical activity, which from birth determines the basis of its socio-biological existence and development. This is due to the fact that without movement, both socio-biological development and human life in society are impossible. According to the International Charter of Physical Education and Sport, physical culture and sport are important components of continuing education for citizens, especially the younger generation. Thus physical education is considered as an educational component, a basic component of system and process of education, and sports as branch of development and realization of physical abilities and possibilities of a human body. Physical education and sports are the most accessible and natural area of human life. Based on the use of natural, biologically necessary, non-drug, widely available means and methods of physical education.

Purpose: on the basis of a review of modern special literature, develop a questionnaire and analyze the attitude of students to physical education. Material and Methods: the study was conducted on the basis of the Department of Physical Education, Sports and Human Health, Mariupol State University. The study involved 78 students of the 1st year of study, of which 38 students (Gr. 1) and 40 students (Gr. 2). Everyone was asked to answer the question of the developed questionnaire. Results: despite the fact that only 39% of girls and 52% of boys tolerate physical activity, according to the answers, only 21% of female students and 30% of students attend sports sections 2-3 times a week, the rest consider it sufficient to attend physical education classes at the University. At the same time, 44% of female students and 35% of students suffer from colds 3-4 times a year, which in the future, against the background of a decrease in immunity, can lead to chronic diseases. There is also a tendency towards the abuse of low alcohol drinks. Only 31% of female students and 25% of students are fully satisfied with physical culture at the University. According to many students, physical culture should take into account the interests of the students themselves in the form of sectional classes. According to our survey, 63% of girls want to go in for fitness, 37% - power sports, 2 times a week instead of physical education lessons. Conclusions: there is a problem in the current system of physical education, it is necessary to develop and implement innovative directions for improving the process of physical education.

Purpose Sports facilities can play a vital role in encouraging physical activity and sport. Also, just the distribution of sports facilities is very important for better access to these facilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate spatial justice in the distribution of built outdoor sports facilities in the city of Isfahan, Iran and provide insight for planning in terms of equitable accessibility. Design/methodology/approach All facilities located in the 15 areas of the city, whether private or public, built for the purpose of physical activity and sports programs were considered in this study (107 cases). To obtain information on the locations of the outdoor sports facilities, Isfahan Atlas data, which has been compiled by Isfahan Municipality was used. Arc geographic information systems environment and its different algorithms were also used to perform different calculations and prepare maps. Findings The results indicated the unfair distribution of built outdoor sports facilities in the city of Isfahan in terms of spatial justice based on the number of built outdoor sports facilities in each area, the population, land area, population density and the spatial pattern of the facilities. Practical implications In this regard, urban authorities and sport managers should make an effort to decrease or obviate inequity in access to outdoor sports facilities for the purpose of promoting participation in physical activity and sport and providing residents with numerous other benefits. Originality/value This paper has concluded that spatial justice in the distribution of built outdoor sports facilities for the improvement of access to these facilities is very important.

A Site

Popular physical culture serves as a site, subject and medium for young people’s learning (Sandford & Rich, 2006) and impacts their relationship with physical education, physical activity and the construction of their embodied identities. This paper addresses the potential of scrapbooking as a pedagogical and methodological tool to facilitate physical education researchers and teachers to listen to, and better understand and respond to extend students’ existing knowledge of, and critical engagement with popular physical culture. The data draws from a three year Participatory Action Research project that was undertaken in an urban, secondary school and was designed to engage 41 girls (aged 15–19) in understanding, critiquing and transforming aspects of their lives that influenced their perspectives of their bodies and their physical activity and physical education engagement. In this paper the focus is on the engagement of eleven of these girls in a five week popular physical culture unit. The students’ scrapbooks, audio-recordings of classes, a guided conversation, and field notes constitute the data sources. Findings suggest scrapbooking has the potential to allow researchers access, understand and respond to students’ perspectives on popular physical culture and their lives in a way that other methods may not. Pedagogically, scrapbooking supported students in critically appraising and making meaning of “scraps” of popular physical culture.
