(1) Background: Blended learning (BL) models have attracted the attention of university teachers and students worldwide in recent years. However, systematic reviews related to the effectiveness of BL in university physical education are lacking. (2) Purpose: Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of BL in physical education among university students. (3) Methods: Searches were conducted in the following five databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and 18 articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected. The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the selected studies and the quality of this study was fair (range 4–5). (4) Results: All reported sports included basketball (n = 6), badminton (n = 3), dance (n = 3), volleyball (n = 1), yoga (n = 1), aerobics (n = 1), Taiji (n = 1), swimming (n = 1), and tennis (n = 1). Seventeen studies described the effect of BL on students’ motor skills, and the results showed that BL had a greater effect on basic skills, but the improvement was not significant for combination techniques. There were three studies related to physical fitness. Studies have observed significant effects on lung capacity (n = 1), sit and reach (n = 1), pull-ups (n = 1), 1000 m (n = 3), and 800 m (n = 1). However, there was no significant difference in body weight (n = 1) or standing long jump (n = 1). In addition, two articles examined the impact of BL on sitting up, but the findings were the opposite. Six studies reported on exercise attitude and the results demonstrated that BL can significantly improve students’ learning attitude, target attitude, behavioral cognition, and emotional experience. However, the two articles produced different results in behavioral habits. Other results, such as satisfaction and interest in learning, were also popular topics regarding BL and were found to have improved significantly.
A limited number of studies focus on the effect of core training on basketball players’ athletic performance and skills. This systematic reviewaimed to comprehensively and critically review the available studies in the literature that investigate the impact of core training on basketball players’ physical and skill performance, and then offer valuable recommendations for both coaches and researchers. Thedata collection, selection, and analysis adhered to the PRISMA protocol. English databases, including Ebscohost, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar,were searched until September 2022. A total of eight articles were included, with four studies comparing the effects of core training versus traditional strength training or usual basketball training. All studies investigated the impact of core training on athletic performance. The findings revealed that core training can help players improve their overall athletic and skill performance, particularly in the areas of strength, sprinting,jumping, balance, agility, shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and stepping. In addition, core training, particularly on unstable surfaces,as well as combining static and dynamic core training,improvebasketball players’ athletic and skill performance. Despite the relativelylittle evidence demonstrating the effect of core training on endurance, flexibility, and defensive skills, this review demonstrates that it should be incorporated into basketball training sessions.
Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are positively correlated with academic achievement, psychology, and participation in physical activities. However, many children's FMS are insufficient, which highlights the need for intervention. The study is aimed at investigating the influence of curriculum foundation intervention on the development of children's FMS and related influencing factors. We systematically reviewed the peer-reviewed articles published across 6 databases (Sport discus, Cochrane Library, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science) on curriculum-based interventions for fundamental movement skills, typically among developing children aged 3-6 years. The risk of bias within the study was assessed using the Quality Assessment and Validity Tool for Correlational Studies (QAVTCS). A total of 14 articles that met the criteria were included, with 1849 participants from across five countries. About 92.9% of the studies reported a significant improvement in the children's FMS after the intervention. Besides the research report on the instruction strategy, teacher experience, gender, and delivery quality influenced the intervention effect of the children's FMS. In future studies, a more rigorous control design, rich theoretical framework, multi-site study, and different perspectives are needed to identify more influencing factors with regards to intervention and an improvement in the efficacy of the intervention.
Condition being studied Sports ability refers to an individual's game performance, technical performance, and physical fitness in a particular sport or sport. It includes factors such as coordination, strength, agility, speed, and overall athleticism. Sports ability can vary widely among individuals, and it can be developed and improved through training, practice, and experience. METHODS Search strategyWe conducted an exhaustive and systematic search of four electronic databases: SCOPUS, PubMed, EBSCOhost (SPORT Discus and CINAHL Plus), and Web of Science. The search will be conducted from 2008 to 2023, with a final search deadline of mid-June 2023. Keywords were the citations and keywords reviewed by others' systematic literature (Llurda-almuzara & Muniz-pardos, 2020) and the names of indicators involved in the definition of sports ability (sports ability, physical skills, techniques, performance, coordination, strength, agility, speed, and athleticism). Use the English Boolean data types "AND" and "OR" to combine the following terms: "sports education," "direct instruction," "traditional teaching," "traditional instruction ", "multiactivity instruction", "traditional style", "teacher-centered teaching model", "skill-drill-game". During this meeting, the authors also consulted librarians in the field to ensure optimal search results. In addition to this, we read, searched, and screened INPLASY 1International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols
