“…Changes in activities of daily living and health behaviors due to COVID-19 restrictions may explain the observed 38.0% decrease in sports-related tSCI between 2019 and 2020 despite the stable overall pediatric tSCI incidence during the same period (13). This is consistent with the reported 15% decrease in the total number of ED visits in the United States from 2019 to 2020.…”

“…One study found that while motor vehicle crashes were the most common documented external cause of injury code, sportsrelated pediatric tSCI were more common among older children (9). Given the impact of sports on tSCI, it may also be important to understand the relationship between tSCI incidence and the reported reduction in physical activity globally during the COVID-19 pandemic (12,13). Addressing these knowledge gaps is key in injury prevention, as sport-related SCIs are a potential target area for public health education and interventions to improve knowledge and awareness of sports safety.…”

IntroductionTraumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is a debilitating neurological condition resulting in lifelong disability for many individuals. The primary objectives of our study were to describe national trends in incident emergency department (ED) visits for tSCI among children (less than 21 years) in the United States, and to determine the proportion of visits that resulted in immediate hospitalization each year, including stratified by age and sex. Secondary objectives were to examine associations between select characteristics and hospitalization following tSCI, as well as to assess sports-related tSCIs over time, including by individual sport and geographic region.MethodsWe used the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Emergency Department Sample to identify ED visits among children between January 2016 and December 2020 for incident tSCI. Diagnosis codes were used to identify tSCI and sports-related injury etiologies. Census Bureau data were used to approximate annual rates of pediatric ED visits for tSCI per 100,000 children. Unconditional logistic regression modeling assessed whether select factors were associated with hospital admission.ResultsWe found that the annual ED visit rate for tSCI remained relatively stable between 2016 and 2020, with approximately 2,200 new all-cause pediatric ED visits for tSCI annually. Roughly 70% of ED visits for tSCI resulted in hospitalization; most ED visits for tSCI were by older children (15–20 years) and males, who were also more often admitted to the hospital. Notable secondary findings included: (a) compared with older children (15–20 years), younger children (10–14 years) were less likely to be hospitalized immediately following an ED visit for tSCI; (b) patient sex and race were not associated with hospital admission; and (c) American tackle football was the leading cause of sports-related ED visits for tSCI among children. Our findings also suggest that the proportion of sports-related tSCI ED visits may have increased in recent years.DiscussionFuture research should further examine trends in the underlying etiologies of pediatric tSCI, while assessing the effectiveness of new and existing interventions aimed at tSCI prevention.

“…The interaction between sports students and lecturers happens directly in the classroom (Kapasia et al, 2020;Mukhtar et al, 2020). On the other side, blended learning utilizes digital technologies such as computers, the internet, and mobile devices to facilitate the learning process (Johnson et al, 2023). Sports students can access learning materials online, participate in online discussions, and use various digital resources to support their understanding.…”

Changes in learning methods cause a crucial decrease in physical education needs and time of involvement in physical activity, which can affect individual stress levels. The objective of this study was to find out the comparison of physical activity patterns and stress levels between blended versus conventional learning methods. This study used quasi-experimental with a posttest-only approach with a control group design. The total subjects were 160 sports students from Universitas Jambi, who were divided into two groups (Experiment and Control) with average age of 21.69 ± 1.33 years, weight of 55.74 ± 6.48 kg, height of 170.10 ± 5.51 cm, and BMI of 21.06 ± 2.77 kg/m2. The results showed that the blended learning group had a lower level of physical activity when compared to their respective conventional groups. Furthermore, the stress level in the blended learning group had a moderate stress while the conventional group had a low-stress. Thus, the research findings have answered the question that physical activity can affect an individual’s stress level, and conventional learning methods are still the best method compared to blended learning methods. This finding can be used as a reference, especially for educators, both lecturers and teachers in schools, to be able to take a spiritual approach and invite students to do activities they like, such as exercise and recreation, to trigger a sense of enthusiasm in students to continue to improve their fitness degree. Therefore, this will have an impact on mental health, which can affect student stress levels much lower.

“…The potential social skills of the child would be negatively impacted as a result. Based on the research conducted, it was discovered that students who participated in both online and inperson aspects of a sports course demonstrated significantly elevated levels of moderate to intense physical activity in comparison to individuals who pursued a mixed format [25,26]. These data suggest that the facetoface component of the course offers more benefits in terms of learning outcomes in comparison to the online component.…”

“…Prior research has mostly concentrated on the examination of student perceptions regarding the use of a blended instructional strategy [29]. Additionally, investigations have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of this approach [30,31], as well as to explore student engagement levels [26] and motivation [27,28]. Given the urgency of this matter, it is imperative that this investigation be expeditiously undertaken.…”

Examining the impacts of blended and online learning settings on children’s fitness and body mass index in a sample of public elementary school pupils in the Philippines is the main objective of this study. A 16-week pre-test and post-test control group in a quasi-experimental approach. The experimental group received blended education, whereas the control group exclusively took classes online. The experimental and control groups consisted of 2 classes from an elementary school in Angeles and Mabalacat City. Anthropometrical characteristics were compared between groups using ANOVA. Pre-test and post-treatment body mass index percentiles and PA levels were compared using a paired t-test. First, there were no significant variance in the individuals’ anthropometrical characteristics between the two groups before intervention. Additionally, the blended learning group outperformed the online learning group on the post-test in terms of physical activity. After intervention, the mean BMI of the blended learning group decreased, but online students showed no improvement. Last but not least, when compared to the online learning group, the BMI percentile of the students in the blended learning group is within the usual range. The benefit of blended learning on the pupils’ physical composition was highlighted. Pupils’ levels of physical activity and body composition have improved as an outcome of the adjustment from traditional to online and blended learning settings. For the benefit of the students, it is advisable to make the most of a blended learning strategy and, if at all possible, return to the full face-to-face method.
