Parents play an important role in the development of healthy lifestyle behaviors in their children. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between parenting style and physical activity participation.

The implications of online learning versus face-to-face learning have been discussed for several years in higher education. Hence, this study's objective was to assess the learning satisfaction towards Online Distance Learning (ODL) and its relationship with ODL readiness in the context of Physical Education setting. This quantitative research adopted an online survey method that measure the ODL readiness and learning satisfaction among 172 Physical and Health Education students who are practicing ODL due to Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The results indicate that ODL readiness is more likely to affect the learning satisfaction among students while having ODL session and it led to low satisfaction level in learning. The results of learning satisfaction level showed a small effect in accordance to gender; male students are anticipated to have slightly higher than female students due to dissimilarity of skill possessed. On this basis, it is recommended the ODL readiness among students should be considered when performing ODL classes in order to achieve high learning satisfaction towards ODL.
One of the benefits from students exchange program is to learn a foreign language. In the Faculty of Sports Science, UNNES, most students going abroad all-around Southeast Asia which English is the medium of instruction between countries. Thus, the exchange program were likely helped to motivate them to learn English. However, limited studies have discussed the English learning motivation of students who have been studying abroad. This study aims to explain the students’ motivation to learn English after being exposed to the exchange experience. The study explains their motivation in two domains: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It is descriptive quantitative research with a set of questionnaires as the primary source of data supported by interviews as the secondary data. The subjects of this study are 37 students from 4 majors; sports science (12), public health (11), physical education (7), and coaching education (7) which consisted of 20 females and 17 males, under the Faculty of Sports Science, UNNES who experienced the exchange programs between 2018-2019. The study found that personal belief on the importance of English to upgrade self-capacity, followed by practical practice of independent study to upgrade English performance, are the intrinsic motivational factors embraced by the exchange students. Furthermore, the exchange students’ view of the importance of English for their future career and the positive opinion from their environment on the people who can speak English have extrinsically motivated them to learn English. Future study needs to involve bigger participants by comparing those exchange and non-exchange students and examine the role of motivation toward the student's learning performance.
