The physical effort, in its different aspects, has permanently conditioned the development of the human being. By means of doing physical exercise, the human beings expresses themselves and are trained. In the process of personality formation, the age of adolescence, including the prolonged adolescence, is very important. This age is characterized by the elan of the body, the elan of the heart, the birth of the personal thinking and the discovery of the world of values (after Debesse, M. quoted by Epuran, M., Horghidan, V., 1994), being the period when the personality affirms and confirms its value. Adolescence is an extremely demanding period both on the physical and psychical level. The study tackles female highschool adolescents and female students. The female adolescents, mainly those starting their student life, have to prove and also to prove to themselves the fact they are efficient, productive, well trained professionals, they have a good social image, allowing them to integrate in a different society groups. The present paper tries to set an existent connection between practising sports activities and becoming aware of the emotions by the female adolescents. The research starts from the premise stating that by means of these activities the female adolescents can increase their adaptive capacity and can control more efficiently the emotions emerging as a consequence of the harmful influences of a civilisation characterized by nervous exhaustion. Emotional intelligence includes 4 types of abilities: to perceive emotions, to use, to understand and manage emotions. According to Raven Bar-Ons opinion (Mihaela Roco, 2004), emotional intelligence refers to being aware of ones own emotions, optimism, respect/consideration for ones own person, self-making, independence.

This paper aims to highlight aspects regarding the body weight distribution on the inferior limbs so as to render objective the youth’s deficient attitudes. The study’s objective is to compare the plantar pressure parameters in static and dynamic balance for subjects with scoliosis and healthy subjects. It is considered that subjects with scoliosis attitude have a different map of the plantar pressure than healthy ones. The presented data in this study are initials, the research being underway. Research is conducted according to the schedule: pretest-kinetic application programs- posttest. Postural assessment is performed with the purpose of diagnosing the mechanical loads deviations from the pelvis and spine in order to optimize the kinetic programs by basketball specific means. The introduction of the basketball means in the kinetic programs was made in order to diversify the classic exercises for prevention /recovery of the deficient spine attitudes. The techniques process of the basketball game, seen as a associated means of physical therapy, represents an innovative approach to postural prevention. In this regard, PedarX system was used, which measures the interaction between the foot, shoe and ground through sensors. The data transmitted are observed in real time on the screen, followed by an analysis of the data. The Pedar X system adds dates regarding distribution of the foot pressures to kinematics analysis. These pieces of information are particularly useful in evaluation of the dynamics movement, also posture. The results obtained showed that the shape of the plantar surface and of the stability area size in scoliosis subjects is modified compared to the plantar pressure map for healthy subjects.
Given the orientation of the student-centered education, through our study, we aim to prove that the game of basketball can influence the development of the emotional intelligence in young people in order to achieve future professional performances and increase the quality of life. In order to carry out the research we used general research methods, particular methods and methods of analysis and interpretation of the data obtained: the scientific documentation, the pedagogical observation and the statistical-mathematical method. The research was carried out in the academic year 2017-2018, comprising a number of 22 weeks, respectively 22 lessons of physical education and sports, and brought together a number of 50 students aged between 19 and 26. The results obtained showed an improvement in the level of the emotional intelligence, the improvement of the self-esteem, the self-affirmation and self-identity; development of the communication capacity; development of the empathic capacity and the social networking capacity.
The restrictions due to COVID-19 have left their mark on the education of children with disabilities. Conducting physical therapy classes online was a necessity and at the same time a challenge for both teachers and parents. The purpose of this paper was to investigate spatio-temporal orientation, followed by the design and implementation of stimulation programs for education, by applying multisensory intervention programs conducted online. The study included 27 students with DS and associated conditions. The groups were established according to the kinetic diagnosis, motor and psychomotor disorders of each child. The statistical analysis was quantitative, with a significance level of 95%. The dependent test was used to highlight the significance of the rate of progress achieved by the children. Results obtained for the psychomotor component—spatial orientation registered an increase of 1.81 units, between the initial and the final test. The value of the Student-t test calculated t between the two tests is 6.20 so 6.20 > 2.056 (Table Fischer) and as a result the differences are significant (p < 0.05). Regarding the psychomotor component, for temporal orientation, the results registered an increase of 1.37 units between the initial and the final test. The value of the Student t test calculated between the two tests is 7.68 so 7.68 > 2.056 (Table Fischer), and as a result the differences are significant between the averages of the two tests (p < 0.05). Following the experiment, the results obtained by the subjects, at the final test, were superior to the initial ones, with differences between statistically significant arithmetic averages for all components of the investigated psychomotor ability: spatial orientation and temporal orientation.
The occupational profile in the technical field calls for the efficiency of the instructive-educational process by optimizing the psychomotor skills of the U.P.B. students. Through this study we aim to orientate the didactic process in the Physical Education and Sports lesson towards the specific of the engineering field. We consider it necessary to evaluate the students' simple reaction time, since this type of reaction is one of the dominant skills in this field. Consequently, we have to determine the students' current skills level, and depending on the results obtained, we will implement the operational motor structures specific to Physical Education and Sports to optimize the students' professional skills. The qualitative exploratory research aimed at identifying the reaction time to visual stimuli according to the dominant and non-dominant structure, by comparing the data obtained between genders. The number of subjects involved in the project was of 44 students (22 girls and 22 boys). The two experimental groups are randomized, made by random selection. Inquisit 5 computerized test (Computer Software) was used to evaluate the simple reaction time. Measuring the time of simple reaction to visual stimuli by computerized testing consisted of pressing the "spacebar" key at different time intervals, whenever a red circle appeared on the screen. Each subject repeated the test three times, keeping the best results. The significance test used to determine the plausibility of the hypothesis was the independent T-test (Student). The results obtained showed that there are no significant differences between the two groups with respect to the worst reaction time in the dominant and non-dominant hand (p=0.3336, t=0.9781; p=0.7646, t=0.3255). Significant differences between the girls and boys were noted for the fast reaction time in the dominant hand.
Motor education through basketball contributes to the development of manual coordination, balance and laterality, organization in space and time, the latter focusing on the body scheme that children are primarily concerned with at primary school. Practicing, by using the simple means of basketball, improves the primordial sensory skills; sophisticated and global motor activities improve the basic motor skills and facilitate the perceptual-motor integration, which is the starting point for the cognitive functions. This paper aims at designing and implementing a kinetic program of stimulation using simple means of basketball in order to improve the balance and laterality of children with intellectual disabilities. The results obtained revealed the efficientization of the fundamental motor skills (locomotion, handling and stability) of the research subjects.
