“…An innovative learning model is needed to meet the requirements of a future career and helps to build a dynamic, high-quality educational system (Zhang, 2019). Many authors emphasize the importance of information multimedia and virtual reality technologies for teaching various sports and physical training (Jenny et al, 2017;Yang, 2018). The positive effect of their use for teaching students is emphasized (Lubis et al, 2018).…”

At the present stage of education development, the requirements for professional training of future specialists are increasing. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficiency of the developed experimental program for the formation of professional readiness of future physical education teachers. Using the methods of mathematical statistics, a comparative analysis has been carried out of the efficiency of the developed program for assessing the professional readiness of physical education teachers. The study involved 49 future teachers of physical education. Also the experimental group was trained using an innovative training program developed by the authors. The sample size was determined by the standard size of the study group at Kazakhstan universities and the participants of both groups were volunteers from the stream of the 2nd year of study at one of the Kazakhstan universities. According to the results of the training, a survey was conducted, the results of which were subjected to mathematical analysis. According to the intellectual and creative componenta relatively average level is revealed of all antonymic pairs, except responsible-irresponsible.

“…Furthermore, within the last decade, with the field of e-sports another interesting area of application has emerged. Since 2006, when Nintendo released its Wii console, motion-controlled gaming systems have evolved so much that they are now used for therapeutic [7] and educational purposes [8]. Today, there are two application methods when dealing with human motion recognition: the vision-or video-based approach and the use of wearable sensor technology worn by the user.…”

The Gaitprint: Identifying Individuals by Their Running Style

Recognizing the characteristics of a well-developed running style is a central issue in athletic sub-disciplines. The development of portable micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) sensors within the last decades has made it possible to accurately quantify movements. This paper introduces an analysis method, based on limit-cycle attractors, to identify subjects by their specific running style. The movement data of 30 athletes were collected over 20 min. in three running sessions to create an individual gaitprint. A recognition algorithm was applied to identify each single individual as compared to other participants. The analyses resulted in a detection rate of 99% with a false identification probability of 0.28%, which demonstrates a very sensitive method for the recognition of athletes based solely on their running style. Further, it can be seen that these differentiations can be described as individual modifications of a general running pattern inherent in all participants. These findings open new perspectives for the assessment of running style, motion in general, and a person’s identification, in, for example, the growing e-sports movement.

“…A systematic analysis of the literature by Jenny et al . () reveals that only a small number of studies found commercial exergameplay to have a positive effect on FMS performance. Furthermore, studies that show positive findings typically refer to balance and/or object control skills (kick, catch, throw, etc).…”

Sedentary past‐times such as video gameplay are cited as having a negative effect on children's Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS) acquisition. Conversely, “exergames” utilise 3D sensor control systems (eg, Kinect®) to offer full body interactive user experiences in which FMS outputs are often part of the game “play” experience. This study evaluated the impact that participation in (1) commercial exergames and, (2) purpose‐built exergames had on user locomotor skill outcomes (run, hop, skip, jump and slide) when both sets of games were deployed with a “principled” human‐in‐the‐loop personalisation process. Typically developing children aged between 5 and 6 years were divided into two groups; a control group (n = 20; 45% girls) exposed to commercial exergames and, an experimental group (n = 20; 50% girls) exposed to purpose‐built exergames. Gameplay was delivered daily, in the classroom, over a period of 8 weeks. The Test of Gross Motor Development‐2 was utilised to assess children's locomotor skills at three time points (pre, interim and posttest). A mixed analysis of variance with repeated measures on time was conducted to evaluate results of the experimental group in comparison to the control group. A significant interaction effect was observed relating to Time × Group. Pairwise comparisons with a Bonferroni adjustment demonstrated that the experimental group made significant improvements for each locomotor skill (run, hop, skip, jump and slide) from pretest to posttest while the control group made significant improvements in only one locomotor skill (the slide) over the same timeframe. Results indicate that principled design and deployment of purpose‐built exergames support high quality locomotor outputs and, improved outcomes over time. What is already known about this topic A majority of modern children do not possess proficient locomotor skills and cannot hop, skip or even run properly Teachers typically target motor skills in the Physical Education setting but these skills require regular personalised practice to improve performance 3D sensor controlled exergames provide a potential platform to target locomotor skill acquisition in the classroom, but currently lack the necessary design principles to improve user locomotor skill outcomes What this paper adds A suite of “principled” exergames with adaptable features to target locomotor skills in the classroom A human‐in‐the‐loop deployment process that empowers the teacher to be a crucial component of the learning experience Empirical evidence to support the effectiveness of purpose‐built exergames for locomotor skill acquisition purposes in the classroom Implications for practice and/or policy Educators can work with a gaming system to effectively deploy “short bouts” of 3D sensor exergameplay in the classroom and facilitate significantly improved locomotor skills in children. Design and development of educational technology could consider the teacher as a valuable “human intelligent system” capable of making decisions about the user and user exper...
