“…Our participants emphasised a desire to attend lifestyle sport CPD opportunities, due to the inadequate content within their PE ITE programmes. Despite this, research exploring PE-CPD has suggested that overall, much provision lacks coherence, relevance, and struggles to impact upon practice [46][47][48]. To maximise its effectiveness, CPD needs to be tailored towards the preferences of PE teachers.…”

“…For PE teachers, the importance of continuing professional development (CPD) cannot be overstated and is a key factor behind improved teaching practice and ultimately meaningful student learning [46]. PE-CPD incorporates a wide variety of specialised training, formal or informal education, and advanced professional learning, each intended to support teachers to improve their professional knowledge, competence, skills, and delivery of high-quality PE [47]. Despite this, there remains limited evidence towards what constitutes effective PE-CPD, with it being argued that "CPD is widely regarded as worthy, but finding a design/process that is optimally efficient and effective remains elusive" [48] (p. 800).…”

“…While increased research into lifestyle sports is more broadly required [56], we currently know very little about PE teachers' understanding of lifestyle sports and their experiences of attending or engaging with lifestyle sports CPD. For example, little is still known about PE teachers' preferences and perceptions towards their professional learning requirements [47,51,52]. Therefore, in exploring the factors which are impacting upon PE teachers' engagement with lifestyle sport CPD and their perceived learning needs to embed theory into practice, it is hoped recommendations can be made to PE teachers, schools, and CPD providers, to help design more effective forms of CPD to enhance PE teachers' knowledge, understanding, and confidence to embed lifestyle sports within the PE curriculum.…”

Lifestyle sports can contribute to national sport and physical activity agendas. However, schools in the United Kingdom (UK) have generally resisted the implementation of such activities within the physical education (PE) curriculum. This may stem from PE teachers’ limited knowledge and restricted engagement with lifestyle sports continuing professional development (CPD), coupled with the dominance of traditional team sports within the PE curriculum. Consequently, the aim of this research was to explore the opportunities and challenges PE teachers in the UK encounter when delivering lifestyle sports, in addition to understanding their current professional development needs to enhance their practice. Data were collected via an online qualitative survey involving 53 UK-based PE teachers. Following a reflexive thematic analysis process, three themes were developed: (1) PE teachers’ understanding, conceptualisation, and delivery of lifestyle sports; (2) challenges to delivering lifestyle sports within the PE curriculum; and (3) the learning needs and CPD preferences of PE teachers. Findings indicated that the participants possessed diverse conceptualisations of lifestyle sports, while faced with logistical, contextual, and personal factors which impacted their practice. Furthermore, the participants outlined their preferences towards lifestyle sports CPD and the challenges restricting their engagement with learning opportunities. Recommendations for future research are discussed.

“…Blinov, M.V. Dulinov and others have developed and are being implemented in practice the didactic concept of digital professional education and training [2] , models of multi-level training of teachers for professional activity in the context of digital learning [7,8,9]. Thus digital training entails a change in the professional activity of teaching staff and the formation of new professional skills that provide the ability of the teachers' potential to work effectively with mediacontent.…”

The article discusses and describes theoretical research and practical results of using digital technologies in formation of values of physical culture in the medical university. The experiment involved 1569 young men and women of full-time education form of the Orenburg State Medical University. To collect statistics in the context of a pandemic were used the online questionnaire and interview method. The respondents developed basic digital skills in use of various digital tools that allow them to monitor the physiological indicators. There was observed an increase in the level of motor activity in groups of students during online classes using educational platforms. There was discovered a positive dynamics in the orientation of the student's personality to health as a value. Thus the systematic implementation of digital technologies in the teaching of disciplines (modules) in physical culture and sports contributed personification of the learning process, visualization of environments for the training process, enlargement of forms of physical and recreation activities, introduction of platform solutions as a space for pedagogical innovations.

The popularisation of an active lifestyle and sports is a hot topic today. The countries activate the interest of the population in physical culture introducing creative training activities in sports. The research highlights that it is important to develop creative thinking in physical education teachers. Thus, the main research goal is to analyse the influence of interactive technologies used to develop creativity among physical education teachers. The researchers use tablet computers with a video communication function for the experiment. All training sessions were conducted on the Zoom conferencing platform. The training took 6 months. The proposed training included power training, yoga, dance and gymnastics. At every third lesson, three respondents developed and presented their training programme for the rest of the group. Torrens creative thinking test was used to assess the results. The comparison of the training dynamics in men and women (P-value = 0.019 and 0.003, respectively ( p ≤ 0.05)) proves the effectiveness of the proposed training techniques. It means that this technique is effective for sports activities and can be introduced in educational institutions. The scholars recommend using it in schools, universities and other educational institutions.
