“…Other researchers also support that online games enhance several cognitive and health aspects of individuals, including reaction time, memory, attention, weight reduction and overall well-being [21,22]. However, the results were consistent with the studies of [23,24], who supported the positive impact of the sport training programs and electronic games on increasing perception and motivation, flexibility, information processing and regularity in practicing movement ( [41,42]. Games can have a significant role in the prevention of excessive weight gain.…”

Recently, technology has been suggested as an effective tool during COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study examines the physical training fitness activities using electronic simulation games on fostering psychological health among university students during COVID-19 pandemic. A quasi-experimental pre-post-test design was employed. Students were divided into two groups, one experimental and the other controlled. The research community included female students at the preparatory year and supporting studies deanship at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University in Saudi Arabia. The data were collected from a sample of 24 female students during the first semester of the academic year (2020)(2021). The results revealed that the experimental group attained higher mean scores than students in control group in the study variables. The result of this study evidenced that game simulation devices promote positive psychological health among students. The study concluded that technology devices can be used for exercises and can be very effective in the teaching and learning process of physical education courses.

“…The recent literature sources show that the main processes of cognitive and intellectual activity of athletes in most sports are the abilities of attention, memory, and thinking. It can be assumed that the logical thinking, as the functions of attention and memory (memorizing, information storage, and reproduction) is an active process [17,18,19], and therefore it can be changed under the influence of the training of different nature and direction. The studies by R. Ghildiyal [20] indicate the positive effect of sports on the body of athletes, which is observed not only on the physical level but also on the mental.…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different training activities on the development of the logical thinking of junior athletes who specialize in various sports. 131 students-athletes and 77 students-non-athletes aged 17-20 took part in the study. They were divided into two experimental groups (group A and group B) and one control group (group C). Group A included 69 students-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (boxing, freestyle wrestling, sprinting, hurdling, jumping, throwing). Group B included 62 students-athletes who were engaged in endurance sports (skiing, cycling, swimming). Group C included 77 students of higher education institutions who did not do sports. The study of the athletes' logical thinking was carried out according to the methodology of "Numerical series". It was found that the student-athletes who were engaged in endurance sports (group B) were registered to have significantly better (р<0.05-0.001) values of all three indicators of logical thinking (number of errors, speed of thinking and general assessment of the state of logical thinking) in comparison with the student-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (group A) and students-non-athletes (group C). Moreover, it was established that the students-non-athletes had a significant improvement in the indicators of logical thinking in comparison with the students-athletes who were engaged in speed and power sports (р<0.05-0.001).

“…This study also contributes to the literature by identifying several factors in the social and physical environment associated with physical fitness and pleasurable activities [37]. In the context of gender, the results of other studies indicate that female students are more interested in modern physical learning which is not included in the school program while male students prefer sports games [38]. Furthermore, with regard to physical exercise in handball, the performances of males in total reaction time were significantly higher than females, but no significant differences were noted in speed of treatment information and visual perception time.…”

This research is a pilot study aimed at analyzing the intensity of male and female students' learning movement comparison using a polar global positioning system (GPS). It is a comparative study, and participants in this study were junior high school students aged 12-13 years, totaling eight students (four males and four females). The research instruments used were Polar GPS RC3 and Polar Heart Rate Sensor H3 to measure the distance and heart rate of students during the learning process. All participants were given a tactical learning model and a technical learning model on different physical education learning days. After that, they were analyzed comparatively to find out the difference. The results showed differences in the intensity of movement in male and female students, with the tactical learning group had higher intensity of movement. Besides, the average male students had higher movement intensity than female students. This study's findings could be used as evaluation material for teachers to improve the physical education teaching and learning process quality. Furthermore, the use of technology, such as the Polar Global Positioning System (GPS), helps teachers monitor their students' level of physical activity. Since this research is a pilot study, further research is needed to determine the differences between the two learning models and gender-based student movement intensity more comprehensively. Besides, the comparison of giving feedback during the lesson is also suggested for further research.
