The aim of the study was to determine whether obstacle course and circuit training areefficient teaching methods as forms of exercise in terms of their intensity, monitored by usingenergy expenditure measuring devices. The key differences in energy expenditure between thetwo teaching methods were examined. The BodyMedia SenseWear equipment for measuringenergy expenditure was used to acquire data from two practice sessions. A sample ofparticipants included 24 five-year-old children from one kindergarten in Ljubljana, althoughcomplete data from both afternoon practice sessions was obtained only from 12 children. Thestudy has shown that obstacle course and circuit training are adequate teaching methods, asmoderate to vigorous intensity was achieved with both methods when practicing the ABCs ofgymnastics. The average energy expenditure has exceeded 7 MET in the main part of twopractice sessions for both obstacle course and circuit training. The results showed nostatistically significant differences in energy expenditure between genders or the specificteaching method used.

The choice of college major is one of the most important decisions students make. In this paper we study the impact of ability on college major choice, using a data set for full-time students enrolled in four-year business and economics programs o¤ered by the Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor mayWe distinguish between general and major-speci…c ability, which measure di¤er-ent dimensions of cognitive ability. We show that both measures are important in explaining individual decisions and that misleading results can follow from observing only commonly employed general ability. We also …nd important gender di¤erences as males are more likely to base their major choice on the ability to complete the coursework, while females are more likely to decide according to unobserved preferences.
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.
