“…All participants described a development from predominantly egoistic to more balanced behaviour. These perceived changes in behaviour through sporting activities are accordance with recent studies, where sport was observed as beneficial for social behaviour in general [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The participants’ former predominantly egoistic behaviour in climbing may be rooted in their tendency towards self-centred behaviour at the time when they still went to school.…”

Background: For high performance in sport climbing, various factors must be taken into account, however, social interactions during climbing sessions have not yet been considered. Methods: For this study, four assumptions were made: (1) elite climbers share similar patterns of behaviour; (2) these behaviour patterns influence the climbing performance in a positive way; (3) the behaviour patterns had to be formed over time, and the process of changing behaviour was catalysed by formative experiences; and, (4) the social behaviour of elite climbers shows a tendency to be on their own rather than in the centre of social events, while their behavioural roots date back to their school life. Six male higher-elite-level climbers participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews. Results: In school, all participants perceived themselves as not being at the centre of social interactions. Moreover, all participants described a development from egoistic behaviour towards more supportive behaviour. Two participants were able to outline specific, formative experiences (crucibles), that drastically shaped their behaviour. Conclusion: All participants performed best in the absence of social tensions and when the atmosphere between the climbing partners was positive. Positive atmosphere was achieved by finding the optimal personal balance between supportive and egoistic behaviour.

“…It has been shown that regular and extensive training in adults is associated with changes in cardiac morphology, namely, increased left and right ventricular cavity dimension, wall thickness, and mass [ 82 , 83 , 84 ]. Cardiac adaptations to exercise also occur in children and adolescents, independent of the influence of growth and maturation [ 85 ]; a recent systematic review of echocardiographic studies concludes that these adaptations are more pronounced in structural left ventricular parameters, with the functional parameters being preserved or slightly improved by exercise [ 86 ].…”

Recreational Soccer Training Effects on Pediatric Populations Physical Fitness and Health: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This systematic review analyzed the effects of recreational soccer programs on physical fitness and health-related outcomes in youth populations. Studies were sought in the following databases: (i) PubMed, (ii) Scopus, (iii) SPORTDiscus, and (iv) Web of Science. The eligibility criteria included (1) population: youth (<18 years old) populations with no restrictions on sex or health condition; (2) intervention: exposure to a recreational soccer training program of at least four weeks duration; (3) comparator: a passive or active control group not exposed to a recreational soccer training program; (4) outcomes: physical fitness (e.g., aerobic, strength, speed, and change-of-direction) or health-related measures (e.g., body composition, blood pressure, heart rate variability, and biomarkers); (5) study design: a randomized parallel group design. The search was conducted on 6 September 2022 with no restrictions as to date or language. The risk of bias was assessed using the PEDro scale for randomized controlled studies. From a pool of 37,235 potentially relevant articles, 17 were eligible for inclusion in this review. Most of the experimental studies revealed the beneficial effects of recreational soccer for improving aerobic fitness and its benefits in terms of blood pressure and heart-rate markers. However, body composition was not significantly improved by recreational soccer. The main results revealed that recreational soccer training programs that are implemented twice a week could improve the generality of physical fitness parameters and beneficially impact cardiovascular health and biomarkers. Thus, recreational soccer meets the conditions for being included in the physical education curriculum as a good strategy for the benefit of the general health of children and young people.

“…According to the results of this research, the fact that there is no statistically significant difference in the nationality variable other than the general communication and behavioral communication subdimension can be interpreted as individuals either having similar feelings and thoughts or that the environment they are in should be diversified a little more. Just as physical activity (playable at any skill level, active recreational play and sports) improves the psychological variables of mental health and helps children and adolescents actively integrate into society, physical activity has also been shown to reduce aggressive behavior in children and adolescents (Li & Shao, 2022). Considering this aspect of sports, it is very important to evaluate the results by designing and implementing the programs well to meet the needs of disadvantageous young people (Tidmarsh et al, 2022).…”

“…In this regard, where families are ignorant for many reasons and children need to learn that cognitive, social, emotional, communication and language levels can be improved with movement, it is recommended to implement awareness programs, courses, even adult education and projects in children, especially for adults (Orhan, 2019). In addition, children and adolescents who actively participate in physical activities have better prosocial behaviors and fewer interpersonal problems (Li & Shao, 2022). For this reason, the Ministry of Youth and Sports supports the implementation of various projects in order to contribute to the personal and social development of individuals, to advance their existing potentials and to adapt to social life, taking into account the needs of society and young people (Yavuz, 2018).…”

In this study, it is aimed to examine the development of communication skills in the sports education project of Turkish and Syrian refugee students aged 09-15, who are considered to be disadvantaged with the "Young Together" project of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. In the study, the disadvantaged children living in the province of Kilis form the universe, while the students included in the project form the sample. In the study, the changes in the emotional and behavioral communication of the participants, which are included in the communication skills, were evaluated by giving training to the students in 5 different sports branches for 16 weeks, 2 days and 4 hours a week. In the study, the description was made in the scanning model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. In the study, the data obtained from 109 people determined by random method among 320 individuals who participated in the project voluntarily were evaluated. A questionnaire consisting of demographic information and communication skills inventory was used in the measurement tool of the study. In the analysis of the data, demographic variables were processed using the JASP statistical program, percentage and frequency, and other analyzes were processed with t-test, one-way analysis of variance and correlation tests at p
