“…Different results were revealed in the research, which found that boys expressed higher mean scores in sport-specific attitudes towards IPE compared to girls, by integrating VI pupils (Cordente-Mesas, González-Vílora, Block, & Contreras-Jordán, 2016). Even though children with VI enjoy sports and physical activity as much as able-bodied children (Pashkevich & Kriventsova, 2017;Fyodorov, Erlikh, Khafizova, & Bendíková, 2019;Foley, Santarossa, Tindall, & Lieberman, 2020), boys of the present study express rather neutral or indifferent attitudes towards the inclusion of VI pupils in PE classes. Nemček (2016, 2018) and other authors found, that pupils with VI have a higher percentage of positive attitudes than students who are deaf or hard of hearing in indicators: popularity, importance, students' efforts, and their feelings towards PE classes (Změlíková & Kurková, 2021).…”

Study purpose. The study purpose was to investigate gender differences in children’s attitudes toward the inclusion of a student with visual impairment in physical education classes. Materials and methods. The study sample comprised 419 able-bodied primary school students in 6th to 9th grade (boys, n=204, mean age 13.23±1.17 years; girls, n=215, mean age 13.08±1.19 years). A modified version of the standardized attitudinal questionnaire CAIPE-R for the inclusion of visually impaired (VI) students was used as a research method. The internal reliability of CAIPE-R was measured using Cronbach’s α. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess the normality of sample distribution. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test was used to assess differences between boys and girls, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test assessed differences between general and sport-specific attitudes. Results. Boys presented rather neutral or indifferent (mean scores 3.19, 3.44 points) attitudes, and girls had slightly positive (mean scores 3.59, 3.74 points) attitudes toward inclusive physical education (PE). Girls, compared to boys, expressed more positive general (U=16786, p=0.000) as well as sport-specific (U=16586, p=0.003) attitudes towards the inclusion of the VI student in PE classes. Both groups of children declared more positive general attitudes than sport-specific attitudes towards the inclusion of VI students (boys, Z=-4.230, p=0.000; girls, Z=-3.015, p=0.003). Conclusions. Girls expressed more positive general and sport-specific attitudes towards the inclusion of VI students in PE classes than boys. Boys’ attitudes were only neutral or indifferent, and girls’ attitudes were only moderately positive. Both genders declared more positive general attitudes towards the inclusion of VI students in PE classes compared to sport-specific attitudes. Taking into consideration the above, to find the most appropriate solutions as regards the inclusion of students with different kinds of disabilities in PE classes, it is necessary to learn more about the attitudes towards inclusion from students, teachers, and school management.

“…They have less pronounced compensation reserves for the effects of negative factors and obstacles (Pryimakov et al, 2017). The implementation of a preventive program for students with a visual organ pathology has a positive effect on their subjective evaluation of their visual analyzer performance (Pashkevich & Kriventsova, 2017).…”

“…Fitness programs, basic gymnastics, swimming are viewed as the main means of physical education (Tcaregorodtceva & Tiunova, 2005;Serrano Ramon & Ferriz Valero, 2018). The peculiarities of conducting classes with special medical group students are outlined in the papers by Koryahin, Blavt and Tsiovkh (2018), Pashkevich and Kriventsova (2017), Osipov, Kudryavtsev, Markov, Kuzmin, Nikolaeva, Zemba and Yanova (2018). According to the authors, pedagogical control in physical education, preventive orientation of classes, as well as their various forms increase students' weekly level of physical activity and improve their health.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine pedagogical conditions for effective swimming training of students of pedagogical educational institutions.Materials and methods. The experimental group (EG) consisted of 45 first-year female students of the schools of foreign philology, physics and mathematics education, natural geography and ecology (special medical group) who had a sufficient physical fitness level and could not swim. The control group (CG) was composed of 40 first-year female students of the schools of foreign philology, physics and mathematics education, natural geography and ecology (special medical group) who had a sufficient physical fitness level, could float, swim short distances (3-5 meters).Results.After the experiment, there was a significant improvement in the test results. Specifically, the experimental group students showed increasein all parameters of the cardiorespiratory system functional state – an increase in breath-holding time in the Stange’s test and the Genci’s test (р= 0.001) and, accordingly, in the Harvard step test (р = 0.001). The results of the experimental group students improved in the Harvard step test by 13.56%; in the Stange’s test – by 9.26%; in the Genci’s test – by 13.15% (р= 0.001).The experimental group students showed a statistically significant improvement in the test results of physical fitness. Specifically, in the tests: “Standing long jump”, the result increased by 4.70%; “Sit-ups in 30 seconds” – by 10.59%; “Jumping rope” – by 6.91%; “Push-ups” – by 17.62% (p= 0.001).Conclusions.The study revealed a statistically significant effectiveness of the suggested methods of teaching swimming to special medical group students. On the basis of discriminant analysis, the researchers ascertained a statistically significant influence of the experimental methods on the dynamics of the students’ physical and functional fitness. Positive dynamics of change was found in the indicators of high level of anxiety during swimming training.

“…Unsocial engagements not only deteriorate the physical but also depreciate the intellectual capacities of the students, the real asset of the nation [18]. In this regard, a well-organized and properly planned program of life skills development can help students to deal with the growing pace and alteration of modern life [19,20]. Development of basic life skills strengthens the individuals' capabilities to meet the present day demands and helps in dealing with many emerging issues like poverty, famines, suicide, drug abuse, sexual harassment, juvenile delinquency and anti-social activities.…”

Purpose:It is generally believed that sports can play an important role in developing life skills and positive youth development. The purpose of this study was to determine the views of Gomal University students’ athletes on the role that sports played in developing the important life skill of decision making. The time management, planning, dealing with adversity and adapting new situation were taken as decision-making skills. Materials:A sample of n=375 (male=334, female=41 completed questionnaires. The researchers collected the required information with the help of self-administered structured questionnaire encompassing the selected variables of the study. The responses were tabulated and analyzed with the help of computer software. Results:The results showed participants attributed a significant role for sports in developing decision-making skills such as time management, planning, dealing with adversity and adapting new situation (603** at 0.01) and significant correlation between sports participation and the development of various decision-making skills among its participants (603** at 0.01). The results indicated that demographic characteristic such as gender, age, and level of sports participation of the athletes brings variations in the mean score of research variables (0.003, 0.004 & 0.001 < 0.05). conclusions:Results of the study indicated that sports provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn skills that can help them in taking positive as well as effective decision. The present exploration affirmed that students can acquire a) time management skill, b) proper planning, c) dealing with adversity, and d) the ability to adjust in a new situation through active participation in sports activities. However, some demographic characteristics of the sports participants such as gender, sports experience, and format of sports have an influence upon the development of these skills through sports.
