“…These studies advocate for an expansive view of pedagogy that not only enriches the academic discipline but also enhances the practical application of biomechanical principles [6]. Such an approach is particularly crucial for students who aim to become physical education teachers, highlighting the need for improved pedagogical strategies to enhance their understanding and application of biomechanical concepts [23].…”

“…Graduates from diverse sports backgrounds who enroll in the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Physical Education often face challenges in covering all areas of the National Curriculum for Physical Education. Specifically, there is a need for these student-teachers to improve their understanding and application of biomechanical principles within the PGCE program [23]. Addressing these educational gaps is crucial for equipping future physical education teachers with the necessary biomechanical expertise to enhance their teaching effectiveness and ensure comprehensive educational outcomes.…”

Background and Study Aim. Biomechanics is a fundamental component of Kinesiology, offering critical insights into the mechanics of human movement. As the demand for comprehensive educational programs in Kinesiology grows, understanding the role and effectiveness of biomechanics within these programs becomes increasingly important. The aim of the study is to investigate and highlight the role and importance of biomechanics in the context of higher education, with an emphasis on the discipline of Kinesiology. Material and Methods. This study involved 71 students from the Department of Physical Education and Sport at Pitești University Center. It included 43 students specializing in Physical Education and Sport (PES) and 28 in Sports and Motor Performance (SMP). The research utilized the university's e-learning platform to monitor teaching and evaluation activities within the Kinesiology discipline. The evaluation of fundamental Kinesiology knowledge was assessed through various indicators. Google Forms-Questionnaire sought to gauge student opinions on the thematic content of Biomechanics as applied to Kinesiology and to evaluate the teaching staff. The nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis Test was employed to analyze differences in means across the groups. Results. The study revealed a diverse interest in sports across the Physical Education and Sport (PES) and Sports and Motor Performance (SMP) programs. Soccer, basketball, and handball were the most popular among students. Comparative analysis of academic performance showed no significant differences between the groups in various assessments (p>0.05). The overall student feedback on the "Fundamentals of Biomechanics of Physical Activities and Sports" course was predominantly positive. Over 50% of the students rated it as very good. Areas for improvement in teaching methods were also identified to enhance the academic experience. Conclusions. This study highlights the effective integration of biomechanics within the Kinesiology discipline at the higher education level. Findings suggest that well-structured educational programs can enhance students' understanding and application of biomechanics. This contributes positively to their academic and professional development in sports sciences. Continuous curriculum assessment and refinement are crucial for maintaining the relevance and effectiveness of such programs.

“…The results of this study are only related to the level of validity, reliability, practicality, and effectiveness of the cybernetic-based badminton skills diagnostic model (BSDM) instrument model that has been formulated [34,35]. The results of this study, in addition to contributing to the assessment needs of test takers, also state that the instruments we have formulated can also be used to improve movement skills.…”

This research aims to observe the contribution of the cybernetic-based badminton skills diagnostic model (BSDM) instrument design formulation as an effective instrument for achieving good motion analysis. Technical and tactical actions are very decisive in competitive badminton players' terms. The use of cybernetic theory becomes the diagnosing basis and improving skills. Cybernetics regulates a goal-directed self-regulation system based on the stimulus process, and the response that occurs. This study uses the Research & Development method. This process is carried out in four distinct steps: first, review of the scientific literature; second, qualitative and quantitative assessments were carried out by 8 experts in the fields of motion theory, tests and measurements and badminton; third, content validity was estimated using the Aiken V Coefficient; Finally, the intra-observer reliability and inter-observer reliability were tested by two badminton-specific observers using the Kappa Cohen coefficient and the intraclass correlation coefficient. For practicality and effectiveness, testing was carried out on 95 badminton players. Footwork, Execution, Shuttlecock running, and Stroke are used as units of measure by observation instruments in badminton. The data analysis process uses SPSS 25 statistical software. Based on the results, an observation instrument designed to be valid, reliable, and effective to analyze the technical and tactical actions of badminton playing skills. It is possible to analyze players who are lower class and elite class. The result of the flagship project is to present the instrument design solution of cybernetic-based badminton skills diagnostic model (BSDM).

“…Teachers are expected to understand the basic elements of movement, often known as movement principles. Studies have supported the need for PE teachers to have adequate biomechanics knowledge (Hamill, 2007;Riskowski, 2015;Stiles & Katene, 2013). Donnelly (2017) refers to principles of movement or concepts as a special language to better understand movement.…”

One of the intended learning outcomes of Physical Education (PE) is for students to develop physical skills. Biomechanics can be used as a discipline to measure the level of physical skill. This study aimed to develop an assessment form to measure the level of physical skill. The movement principle of biomechanics was incorporated into an observation checklist form. The form is meant to help Physical Education Teachers (PET) qualitatively analyze students' physical skills using biomechanics. This study aligns with research and development model which conducted in three phases: need-analysis, development, and model efficiency test. The form was built with two main components: physical skill and biomechanical principles. Physical skill is related to standard movement patterns for a given sporting skill. The biomechanical principle lays the foundation for all movements. This research uses a qualitative approach. A total of 120 PET from 120 secondary schools were involved as subjects in this study. Interviews, observation, and questionnaire were used to collect the data. This research yielded the following result, first, there are problems with integrating biomechanics into an assessment of physical skill. Second, a biomechanics form is developed in the checklist-style observation form to help PET evaluate their students’ learning outcomes. Third, biomechanics form was practical to be used as a learning assessment tool because it met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness.
