“…When students are taught various lessons that meet their interests and provide new experiences, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated in PE. Additionally, despite the popularity of team sports among adolescents, a study showed that only 13% of adults participate in team sports (Song et al, 2015). By teaching team sports exclusively, PE programs cannot help students prepare for future PA participation.…”

“…Although the preference of team sports participation varies based on the age group and gender (Harrison & Narayan, 2003), team sports attract many individuals. Song, Carroll, Lee, and Fulton (2015) found that team sports were listed as one of the most favorite physical activities among adolescents and second most popular for male adults. In secondary PE, team sports have been a predominant content area because they can easily accommodate large class sizes, promote social and cooperative behaviors, and develop cardiorespiratory endurance (Coakley, 2017).…”

Background/Purpose. K-12 students’ motivation levels have declined in physical education (PE) due to the lack of effective instructional practices, inappropriate class activities and gender inequities. Middle school students have shown low levels of motivation in physical education and lack of interest in its content. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine middle school students’ intrinsic motivation and expectancy value after participating in team sports units. Method. Participants consisted of 262 students (122 males; 140 females) from three middle schools located in the southwest region of the United States. After participating in team sport units during PE, the participants completed the expectancy-value questionnaire (Eccles & Wigfield, 1995) and motivation inventory (McAuley, Duncan, & Tammen, 1989). Analysis/Results. Data were analyzed by employing descriptive statistics, t-test, and analysis of variance. Results showed that 6th grade students perceived significantly higher expectancy-value and intrinsic value than 8th grade students in team sports. In addition, male students exhibited significantly higher expectancy-value and intrinsic value compare to female students. However, there was no statistically significant difference among ethnic groups. Conclusion. This study suggests that female students had lower levels of intrinsic motivation and expectancy value in team sports compared to male students. Furthermore, as students’ grade level increased from 6th to 8th grade, intrinsic motivation and expectancy value decreased.

“…La mayoría de niños sedentarios practican menos actividad física, considerándose el sedentarismo la antítesis de la actividad física debido a que las horas sedentarias están quitando horas de actividad física a lo largo del día y por tanto asociado a problemas de salud debido a la inactividad prolongada (Marshall, Biddle, Gorely, Cameron y Murdey, 2004). Sin embargo, con la introducción de los videojuegos activos como un método de entretenimiento alternativo, facilita que los niños no sean sedentarios cuando disfrutan de ellos, tal y como indican autores como Song, Carroll, Lee y Fulton (2015).…”

Los videojuegos son una de las nuevas tecnologías que más llama la atención sobre todo en el sector juvenil debido a su contenido llamativo y motivador. Así, se han convertido en los medios de entretenimiento más recurridos en las horas libres de los niños. Sin embargo, se han ligado al aumento de la práctica de actividades sedentarias y a la disminución de la actividad física semanal. En este estudio de carácter descriptivo, exploratorio y de corte transversal realizado sobre 315 alumnos de entre 10 y 12 años pertenecientes a la provincia de Granada se pretende definir y relacionar los parámetros de ocio-digital y físico deportivo de dichos estudiantes. Se realizó con una hoja de autorregistro y el test sobre videojuegos de Llorca Díez (2009). Los resultados arrojaron que en esta etapa los niños suelen realizar las horas de ejercicio recomendado semanal y que pasan menos de 2 horas diarias practicando actividades sedentarias. Además, los videojuegos no tenían influencia sobre las horas dedicadas a actividades sedentarias ni en la práctica de actividad física. Se concluyó la importancia y necesidad de realizar otros estudios que establezcan las causas del sedentarismo en pos de su disminución.AbstractVideogames are one of the most noteworthy new technologies in our society, especially within the youth sector due to their striking and motivational content. Thus, they are becoming the entertaining media mostly used by children on their free time. However, videogames have been closely linked with sedentary practices and decrease of weekly physical activity. This descriptive, exploratory and cross-sectional rehearsal has been done with 315 students from 10 to 12 year old from the province of Granada. It claims to know define and describe the relationship between digital leisure, physical and sporting variables of those children. A self registration test and Llorca Díez´s videogame test have been used. Results found that children within that age group usually meet the minimal physical activity recommendations, spending at the same time less than 2 hours per day practicing sedentary activities. Moreover, videogames did not influence on practice of neither physical activity hours not sedentary activities. In conclusion, results demonstrate the importance and necessity of performing about sedentary lifestyle causes toward its decrease.

Electronic sports, or esports, has a global audience of over 300 million fans and is increasing in popularity, resulting in projected revenue of over $1 billion by the end of this past year. The global pandemic of 2020 had little to no effect on these increasing numbers because athletes have been able to continue to engage in sports because of its electronic nature and fans have been able to follow them virtually. Esports has been recognized as an organized sport by the International Olympic Committee, the US National Collegiate Athletic Association, and several secondary school athletic associations within the United States. In addition, professional teams have been established in several major cities within the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. With the growth of esports, the necessity of incorporating esports medicine into the practice of sports medicine physicians has become paramount. Esports can be played on a monitor or screen and played using physical activity in what has become known as active video gaming. Within both of these platforms, there have emerged certain conditions unique to esports. There are also certain conditions seen in other sports applicable to esports athletes. This document will review the evaluation of the esports athlete, introduce conditions unique to these athletes and review common conditions seen in esports, discuss diagnostics used in the evaluation of esports athletes, introduce treatment options for conditions unique to esports and review those for commonly seen injuries in esports, discuss prevention of injuries in esports, and introduce a framework for the future development of esports medicine that can be introduced into the daily practice of the sports medicine physician.
