Nowadays, a descending trend concerning physical activity levels among youth has been recorded, as well as differences between males and females; more than half recorded a low level of the physical activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the social and educational sustainability of physical education and to determine the level of physical activity by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form for Romanian undergraduate and graduate students. In our study, we included students and applied the IPAQ short form anonymously. They gave their consent to use these personal data only for scientific purposes. Overall, two thirds of the subjects (according to the IPAQ scoring protocol) and more than half (according to the World Health Organization recommendation for physical activity) consider themselves to be active. The present study showed that there is a prevalence of insufficient physical activity among Romanian University students (around 40%). The situation seems to be better than in other countries, but in self-evaluation, many people tend to overestimate their potential. To avoid this aspect and gain some objectivity, it is better to use a gadget in order to measure the level of their physical activity.
Oina is a sports game with a limited spread, especially in the rural areas and particularly around some centers with tradition throughout the country. The most recent articles and studies attempt to crystallize their own methodology, oriented towards the modern, global way, but without denying the opportunity to use the analytical method in certain situations, moments or stages of the training process. Studying the specialty literature, we deduce that the oina game is based on a limited number of research and the learning methodology is based on studies and research done in other sports games. The opinion of the people in the oina field, unanimously accepted, is that at present, the literature regarding this field is incomplete and in fact, it is clearly outrun by the practical side of the problem. At the level of school education for both physical education classes and the classes in sports circles, we do not find many published studies although, in the schools where the oina game is practiced, there is an intense practical training activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
