Unlike other sports such as soccer, boxing, and rugby, it is observed that none of the studies in the literature have examined the injuries resulting from the impact of the sepak takraw ball on the players’ heads during a game. This study was initiated following the incidents of the 24th SEA Games in Korat, Thailand, in year 2007, whereby a number of players from the Malaysian Sepak Takraw Association (PSM) had to withdraw themselves from the championship. These players suffered from headaches which were believed to be caused by the impact of the sepak takraw ball, considering the fact that heading is one of the basic movements used to hit the ball.

  • THE BENEFITS of LEARNING to JUGGLE for CHILDREN Written by Dave Finnigan
    THE BENEFITS OF LEARNING TO JUGGLE FOR CHILDREN Written by Dave Finnigan Fitness, Motor Skills, Rhythm, Balance, Coordination Benefits . Students can start acquiring pre-juggling skills in pre-school and kindergarten by learning to toss and catch one big, colorful, slow-moving nylon scarf. Once tossing and catching becomes routine, you can use one nylon scarf anywhere that you would normally use a ball or beanbag for most games and many individual challenges. Just think of the scarf as a "ball with training wheels." Scarf juggling and scarf play progresses in a step-by-step manner from one, to two, and on to three. Scarf play and scarf juggling requires big, flowing movements. Children get a great cardio-vascular and pulmonary work-out when they juggle scarves, exercising the big muscles close to the head and close to the heart. They will find scarf juggling to be a great deal of work and lots of fun at the same time. Once they move on to beanbags or other faster moving equipment, they get exercise not only from tossing, but from bending over to pick up errant objects as well. Once a student can juggle continuously, they can "workout" with heavy or bulky objects such as heavyweight beanbags, basketballs, or other items which provide strenuous exercise while they improve focus and dexterity. Because all of this tossing and catching activity can be done to music, you can use different types of music to help children acquire a sense of rhythm and a natural "beat." By working together, students can participate in a group activity requiring concentration and attention to task and reinforcing rhythm.

Maja Bučar Pajek RECEZENTKA: prof. dr. Maja Pori AVTOR: Blaž Slanič Ljubljana, 2015 ZAHVALA Zahvaljujem se vsem žonglerjem, brez njih diplomskega dela ne bi mogel izpeljati. Zahvala gre tudi mentorju, profesorju dr. Ivanu Čuku, ki mi je pomagal pri sami izvedbi diplomskega dela. Hvala partnerki in staršem, ki me pri mojih žonglersko-akrobatskih podvigih podpirate in mi stojite ob strani. HVALA. Ključne besede: žongliranje, gibalne sposobnosti, učinkovitost Vpliv gibalnih sposobnosti na žongliranje IZVLEČEK: Ker je žongliranje v Sloveniji zelo malo poznano, smo naredili raziskavo o vplivu gibalnih sposobnosti na unčikovitost v žongliranju. V raziskavi smo testirali gibalne sposobnosti slovenskih žonglerjev vseh starosti. Raziskava je vsebovala teste hitrosti, moči, ravnotežja, preciznosti, reakcijskega časa in ritma. Vse teste smo izvedli z levo in desno roko. Pogoj za sodelovanje na raziskavi je bil, da posameznik zna žonglirati s petimi žonglerskimi žogicami. Sodelovalo nas je 16 žonglerjev, starih med 13 in 40 let, in sicer 15 moških in 1 ženska. Na podlagi rezultatov smo ugotavljali, katere od gibalnih sposobnosti so tiste ključne, ki pripomorejo k lažjemu in bolj kontroliranemu žonglerskemu udejstvovanju. Podatki so bili obdelani v programu Excel 2010 in SPSS 16.0. Iz naših rezultatov je razvidno, da imata na učinkovitost v žongliranju največji vpliv bobnanje leva roka (ritem in tempo leve roke) in starost posameznika. Keywords: Juggling, motor skills, efficiency Effects of motor skills on juggling Because of the lesser known nature of jugging in Slovenia, we made our research on the effects of motor skills on it.

  • Outside the Box: Creative Ideas for Common Equipment
    Outside the Box: Creative Ideas for Common Equipment Dr. Scott Klungseth, Director Beresford PRCE Thinking Outside-the-Box for Standards: Creative Ideas, Common Equipment Session is designed to help elementary/middle school classroom and PE teachers, and recreation professionals to experience “Out of the Box” activities to integrate hula hoops, scooters, and bean bags in meeting national/state standards. This equipment is common in programs – but many lack experience on how versatile this equipment is. Each activity is designed to help students succeed in all three learning domains. Each lesson has the potential for math, science, or language arts interaction. Many times in conducting professional development sessions for pre-school and elementary teachers, recreation leaders, and physical education teachers they indicate that they have many many hula hoops but do not know how to teach hula hooping or know other activities to use the hoops for. Additionally, they indicate that they have many scooters and noodles available to them but lack activities to integrate them. Below is a series of activities that can be created for general physical activity or specific physical education lessons. Many of which include standards, spelling, reading, and math lesson integrations. These are only basic descriptions. If you would like further lesson ideas please feel free to contact us at: [email protected] Hula Hoop Ring Toss With or without distance math integration This is an oversized ring toss game.
