The Importance of the Proprioceptive Training and its Results in the Junior Category Sports Training

Author(s): Ştefan Alecu,Dragoş Ionescu - Bondoc,Alexandru Ionescu - Bondoc,Cristian Ionescu - Bondoc,Florentina Nechita / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In this study we aim to demonstrate the fundamental role of proprioceptive training as an integral part of the junior category sports training in the 110 m hurdles. For this we tested, before and after the training period, using proprioceptive techniques and exercises to influence the technique of the hurdle runner at the two subjects chosen for this experiment, and the results obtained revealed the progress achieved by them in within the parameters we considered relevant to the study. The objective of this study is to reveal the importance of proprioceptive training in correcting the technique of hurdle running, but also the parameters that change, and their values. The engine program applied between the initial test and the final test is based on a training optimization adjustment system, focusing on the balance of transition and reassessment of the kinetic sensations from the pushing to the landing, taking into account a series of transformations made during the two tests through which the athlete consciously correct the technical mistakes and improve them.

Intellectual Development and Learning at Early Age. A Theoretical Perspective

Author(s): Valerica Anghelache / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The intellectual development at early agesoccupies large spaces in the specialized literature. However, there are many issues that have remained unknown or insufficiently explained. In this sense, the present paper aims to illustrate the relation between the characteristics of the child's intellectual development and the learning process at early ages. It is about a theoretical approach by which we have tried to argue the necessity of knowing these particularities of the child's development, as well as the imperative necessity to reconsider the formal learning process. The analysis of the experimental research in the field indicates the existence of clear correlations between the changes that take place at this stage in the architecture of the intellectual development and variables such as: the previous experiences the child had to face with, the quality of the socio-family environment, the parents’ educational level, the way the child plays, the degree of leadership of the game-based activities.Moreover, by its content, the paper aims to draw attention upon the importance and complexity of this issue and can be considered a good starting point for the experimental investigation of the changes taking place at the age of intellectual development.

Curriculum References Regarding the Methodological Framework that the School Subject “Sports Training Theory” is Based On

Author(s): Mariana Ardelean / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The school subject “Sports Training Theory” (STT), which is present in the national curriculum at the fifth core curriculum –“Physical Education and Sports”, has the role to form and develop the cognitive competencies tools that students from sports program high schools shall be able to use, in order to make their actions efficient during the classes, as well as during training and competitions. The present research has intended to analyse the methodological framework on which the STT subject bases on, relating it with its curriculum products. There were outlined a series of non-complying aspects in regard to a modern and competent educational system. Using symbolically graphic operators (+) for positive notes that come out from this study and (-) for the negative notes or the ones that require remediation, the image of the school subject STT is presenting as followed: frame syllabus (+), subject syllabus (+, -), methodological guidance for the subject syllabus enforcing (-), specialized methodology (-), textbooks (+), alternative textbooks (-), teaching auxiliaries (-). The obtained results from this research play the prominent part of an “anamnesis”, in the way that appropriate institutions/ organizations that have competence in this field and hold the necessary tools to act, shall not remain still to the pointed issues which haven’t been solve up to present. Moreover, they have to make efforts to reorganize/ relocate the STT school subject on more accurate background, taking into consideration the fact that the curriculum structure and content shall be determined by task analysis, and shall include proficiency objectives including how those objectives shall be met.

Study on the Opinions of Teachers and Students from Sports Program High Schools, Regarding the School Subject “Sport Training Theory”

Author(s): Mariana Ardelean / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The initiated study was done to determine the opinions of a number of 33 teachers from Romanian sports program high schools, who teach the school subject “Sport Training Theory” (STT) from 9th to 12th graders, in order to outline the methodological coordinates according to which they do their activity. Due to the fact that all the efforts in the teaching activity are (and must remain!) centered on the students, in this research it was also considered relevant to know the opinions of a number of 103 students from vocational profile, interviewed at the end of 10th grade. It was chosen this level of study out of two considerations: after two years of intense studying of the analyzed school subject, the expressed opinions could have a higher degree of objectivity, and the expressed statements in this matter could constitute important themes and guiding points in the subsequent methodological measures to be taken, which have as target to shape up competences and to improve the teaching-learning-assessing strategies. Questioning the two categories of subjects (teachers and students) has led, on one hand, to the illustration of the teaching framework in which the STT school subject is quartered, in relation to the values and attitudes that it is expected to be achieved at the end of a learning cycle and graduating the high school sports sections, and on the other hand, to the identification of deficient/ disturbing aspects which leave their mark on the quality and efficiency of the teaching act in comparison with the real needs and expectations that the sports program high school students claim.

Effectiveness of Sportized Physical Education Based on the Correlation between Physical Qualities and Body Functions

Author(s): Evgeny Cherepov,Vitaliy Epishev,Ksenia Naumova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Modern challenges require improving the system of youth physical education and providing young people with a wide choice of physical activities. The article deals with the practical provisions for improving the system of physical education designed for young males. The study is based on both systems theory and a synergy approach. It also reveals that certain physical qualities and body functions possess a significant correlation. Therefore, a targeted influence on dominating qualities may indirectly improve associated qualities. The authors propose a method for individualizing training in young males taking into account the correlations existing between physical and functional preparedness and paying special attention to the most developed physical qualities. The experimental group practiced physical education incompliance with basic principles of a PE academic program and extra-curriculum activities making a special emphasis on certain physical activities and the most developed physical qualities. The following activities were proposed to young males: “Team sports”, “Track-and-field athletics”,“Fitness aerobics”, “Sambo”. The study justifies the effectiveness of the PE programs developed in compliance with the correlations between physical qualities and body functions. The authors registered a significant improvement in flexibility, coordination, strength endurance, and speed-strength qualities in the experimental group during a 9-month experiment.

Practicing Sports in Romania at the School Level

Author(s): Marian Chirazi / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

One of the peculiarities of the physical education and sports education in Romania is the existence of the sportive sports education: Sports High Schools (which have classes beginning with the gymnasium cycle), sports classes (grades I-XII) in different schools (in particular in the theoretical schools) and the additional sports education represented by the Scholar Sports Clubs (CSS) and the Children's Palace (PC). The statistical analysis, carried out as a result of attempts to optimize the education of physical education and sports, has highlighted the fact that the most practiced sports are athletics (in all counties - 42), football (41), handball (41) followed by volleyball (34) and basketball (31). Having a very large area of distribution, we could call them national sports although national and international results are far from justifying the large amounts of money allocated. But here's a list of funded sports and "exotic" sports such as yachting and softball, baseball, hockey on the grass, ski jumping.

Ways of Optimizing the Elementary Collective Attack Tactics by Using the Cooperative Learning Technique for the Girls' Basketball Team (U13)

Author(s): Dana Lucica Ciocoiu,Oana Tiron / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article is an excerpt from an experimental study which aimed at showing the practical use of the cooperative learning technique in the sports training session. The purpose of the research was focused on the need to find solutions to increase the efficiency of elementary collective tactics of attack by using the cooperative learning technique with the girls' basketball team (U 13) - Sports High School (L.P.S). Globally, the research program was focused on the initial and final testing of specific motricity (2016-2017 control tests/ season tests, according to RBF) and on the testing of elementary collective technical and tactical components of attack in women's basketball players in the U13 category by summarizing the observation forms. The tests proposed and performed by the players have completed the means used in the training sessions. The dynamics of the processed data highlights an evolution of the spostswomen' training recorded at the final tests in the 2016-2017 competition year. The obtained results confirm that the learning through cooperation technique can be used in the learning-consolidation stages for the assimilation of simple elementary tactical collective attack actions for basketball players from LPS Galaţi category U13 and thus the research hypothesis is confirmed. The learning through cooperation technique has also contributed to the formation of collaborative skills in players, during the game preparation and competition stages, but also the prerequisites of practising those social skills that will be needed later in one's personal life (family, career, etc.). This article summarizes a teaching model, comprising a theoretical presentation and the practical use of the learning through cooperation technique to acquire the elementary collective tactical combinations for attacking in the basketball game, in the U13 category.

Inclusive Education and Psycho-Pedagogical Counseling of Pupils with Educational Risk from Disadvantaged Backgrounds

Author(s): Mariana Constantinescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The risk behaviours of pupils in disadvantaged environments have an influence on the pupils' personality, causing school, educational and social dysfunctions. An inclusive education program, motivational techniques and psycho-pedagogical counselling for students with educational risk from disadvantaged backgrounds provide some clarifications of the concepts: risk behaviours, school dropout, pupils with special needs, school inaction, school and social inclusion. Knowing these characteristics is a prerequisite for achieving an effective educational act, an intervention program tailored to the educational needs of the beneficiaries. The approach of these problems is practically-applicative, by offering psycho-pedagogical intervention techniques. This module / program focuses on the dimension of prevention of behavioural disorders, change, problem solving and personal development, using an educational model and development model. The psycho-pedagogical counselling, motivational techniques and supportive strategies are the practical premise of diminishing deviant behaviours and school inclusion. Case studies, programs and intervention plans realized by teachers who participated in the training program provide paradigms for the analysis and interpretation of risk situations and groups as well as patterns of action on them to achieve attitudinal and behavioural change in order to optimize the development of pupils' personality and reintegration into the school environment.

Models of Moral Education in Some Romanian Language and Literature Textbooks for Secondary School

Author(s): Ana-Elena Costandache / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The contemporary Romanian society lays stress on the individuals’ problems, most specifically on the students who have to cope with the challenges of modern education, in both the home and school environment, in an attempt to gain an education according to relevant models of moral conduct.Education and self-education are closely related to the individuals’ needs and willingness to become educated, through school (during the school years), family or media. The last one, however, attracts and distracts students more, as compared to books, which seem to be losing more and more ground and which should remain only a means of discovering one’s own identity.Reading generally represents a means of discovering and becoming aware of language models used by certain writers and of written communication models which contribute significantly to the students’ shift from standardized, non-literary texts (which may be easily found in magazines, newspapers, etc.) to literary ones.The present paper aims at bringing to the fore the importance of literary texts in the Romanian Language and Literature textbooks for secondary students from the point of view of the moral education models they provide.

Canonical Authors and the Identity Values in the High School Curriculum

Author(s): Nicoleta Crînganu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The school literature is the most important object in transmittind, configurating and consolidating the value system of a people. The school curriculum is not anymore a simple list of authors and works, its’ structure is more complex keeping in mind the triple status of the Romanian Language and Literature in the Romanian school system – as official tongue of the state, as a school language and a school study subject. However, the list of canonical authors is significant for the curriculum’s authors vision about the value system that the community intends to develop at the future generations. In this respect, two visions are confronted about the Romanian Language and Literature curriculum: the traditional one, that insists on some literary values that cannot be repealed, and the other one, a (post)modern vision that emphasises the pleasure of the reading/of the text and on the student’s needs. Regardless of the position of the curriculum author, it is fundamental that the studied literary works propose not only aesthetic values, but also ethic and identity values. For this reason, the options cannot be random. Something that has been learnt as a human model, studied during literature classes stays as a mental program for the lifetime.This paper is aims to identify a series of ethic and identity values as the can be found in the texts studied by high school students through the list of canonical authors, showind as well how the disappearence or the insertion of some writers and literary works have an impact on collective mind.

Increasing Efficiency of Semifond Running by Improving Technical Aspects

Author(s): Andreea-Georgiana Dobre,Claudiu Mereuță,Dragoș Bondoc-Ionescu,Florin-Eduard Grigore / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Our analysis attempts to highlight some technical aspects that we believe can be exploited to increase the effectiveness of re-systematic injuries by detecting the non-synchronizations that occur between the body segments during effort on a fatigue background.We refer here to the different power released by the lower limbs, which generates deviations of the impulse vectors and which ultimately result in a lesser capitalization of the mechanical work actually performed.The level at which the performance in the 1500 m running on the world scale could be greatly improved by discovering those small details that could still be corrected.High-frequency video analyzes can serve this purpose, but the biomechanics of body movements must be properly controlled to know what we are reporting.The novelty consists in the fact that through this research we want to identify the technical faults occurring in the run distance competitions, in order to subsequently develop an intervention program with the main purpose of improving the frequently encountered technical errors. For this, we will use monitoring and video analysis, then interpreting the results with a program called Kinovea.Kinovea is a video analysis software that allows you to capture and play at different speeds a video recording with the ability to analyze kinematic parameters.

Visual Choice Reaction Time in Schoolchildren Aged 12-14 Years Old. Comparison between Trained and Untrained Children

Author(s): Diana Victoria Gidu,George Cosmin Muşat / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of the work was to study if there is any difference in visual choice reaction time [VCRT] between the children who practice sports and non-sporting children, and if the performance depends on the gender and design of the testing: continuous [50 and 100 trials] versus sequential [10 trials each sequence, with 30 sec. rest between sequences]. The 20 non-sporting children [10 girls and 10 boys] were tested only continuously but the 20 sporting ones [10 girls and 10 boys] were tested both continuously and sequentially. While testing the subjects were using their preferred hand. The results support the conclusion that while there is no difference between girls and boys, VCRT in sporting children is significantly better, than in non-sporting ones, both in girls [657.84 ± 70.02 vs 760.77 ± 112.82 ms; p<0.05 ] and boys [698.67 ± 65.27 vs 833.09 ± 102.36 ms; p<0.01]. On the other hand, in athletes the results obtained within the 100 trials sequential testing were significantly better than in the continuous testing.

Sociological Considerations on Social Inequalities and Disparity of Opportunities in Education

Author(s): Gabriela-Violeta Iordăchiță / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The studies on inequalities in educational opportunities have been conducted along studies on social mobility, social class stratification and forming or studies concerned with the evolution of modern democracies. Our theoretical approach represents a critical analysis of the education system in order to identify state policies or common practices which do not lead to a better operation of the state itself. Our goal is that of identifying such aspects and introduce them on the public agenda in order to create remedial public policies. Conclusions show that a decrease of income inequality distribution among social classes and a democratic, merit-based political system which is not subjected to legislation or procedure changes at short times would increase equity and social cohesion of a society, thus creating better work and life opportunities for a larger number of people.

Fitness or Optimal Physical Condition - Conceptual Delimitation

Author(s): Cristian Ștefan Liuşnea / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In the elaboration of the paper, we started from the hypothesis that the definition of the fitness concept is important in order to determine then t[he objectives of the activity based on the use of its specific means. Following the elaboration of the theoretical study, we found that there are several opinions regarding fitness, which are explained by the different perspectives of approaching the concept, by the particularities of the socio-cultural evolution of contemporary societies, by the practices and policies thought for each cultural space, determined by standards of living, standards, but also by economic, social and cultural interdependencies. In this context, we have also been interested in the perception of the term in the Romanian space In our approach we will go from the statements of some authors like Celeste Ulrich [48, 49] who defined Physical Fitness as: "the ability of the human body to function with force and liveliness, without exaggerated fatigue, with enough energy to enjoy leisure activities and to prevent physical stress. Muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance and vigor are the visible signs of physical condition”.

Methodological Aspects Concerning the Psychoeducational Intervention in the Case of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders of Children with Migrant Parents

Author(s): S. Mindu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The dynamics of family structure modifications in Romania is quite intense, on the background of economic, political, moral instability which manifests at national level. The number of families where the parents are separated from the children because they left the country for work and where the role of the parents is filled by the extended family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles or other relatives) is larger from year to year. Under these circumstances, the family is challenged to identify new resources and find new strategies so as to maintain each member’s relational balance and emotional health. The present research aims as a general objective to highlight a possible methodological structure for psychoeducational intervention in the case of emotional and behavioral disorders of children whose parents left to work in European countries. The practical-applicative objective is to identify the ways in which, within the psychoeducational intervention program, the resilience of children and parents can be increased in the context of family structure modification. Integrating the family into a psychoeducational approach focused on increasing the resilience of its members to separation, developing socio-emotional skills, flexibility and autonomy may be a solution to minimize the negative effects on the psychological development of children that might occur in this context of family structure modification.

Tax Optimization at the Level of Sports Clubs

Author(s): Florentina Moisescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the way in which sport clubs resort to tax optimization in order to avoid the fulfilment of their obligations towards the general budget, which is established by speculating, for their benefit, the content of the legal rules applicable in the matter, which allow the choice of a particular tax regime, advantageous to them. Tax optimization is an important point in effective asset management strategies. In tax law there is the principle that any company is free to organize its activity in order to optimize their tax and payments and, as a result, most companies try to find legal ways to pay lower taxes. However, it often happens that tax optimization is mistook for tax evasion and moralizing speeches appear in a field considered immoral from the start. However, tax optimization implies law enforcement and includes any immediate measure likely to reduce the tax costs associated with a specific operation/transaction. We can therefore conclude that tax optimization represents a thorough understanding of the business of the sports organization, its mechanisms and limitations, as well as finding those routes offered by both local and international tax laws that lead to the reduction of the amount and the postponement of the tax charge as much as possible, so that the company can reduce or better manage the impact of cash flow.

The Role of the Cash Flow Table in Substantiating Effective Management Decisions in Sports Organizations

Author(s): Florentina Moisescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the role of the treasury in financing the activity and ensuring the sustainability of a sports organisation, the importance of assessing its ability to generate liquidity and liquidity equivalents, as well as the funding needs of the organisation.At the level of managerial decision-making, the treasury gains more weight, the more the following question arises: How is it that we have high profit margins, but there is never enough money? Sport club managers can fall into the trap of believing that a consistent profit margin or a spectacular increase in turnover guarantees the sufficiency of cash resources. These positive aspects, however, may sometimes prove fatal to the cash resources. In this respect, the treasury represents the basis for determining short-term (solvency) and long-term (financing needs) financial analysis and management indicators, favouring the forecasting of the financial situation of the entity. From the analysis performed in this paper, we consider that the analysis of cash flow is useful for substantiating efficient management decisions by: correlating the profit (loss) with the cash; separating the activities involving cash from non-cash activities; assessing the ability of an enterprise to meet its cash payment obligations; cash flow assessment for future activities (cash-flow strategy).

Comparative Study on Effectiveness of Different Methodologies to Improve the Forehand and the Backhand to Tennis Players at the Age of 7-9 Years

Author(s): Petronel Moisescu,Răzvan-Marian Bucătaru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In classic tennis, learning process has been running for several years, being a long activity, the volume of skills and knowledge acquisition running for a longer period(6-8 years). Then,depending on the progress and differences between the children, their preparation will be individualized. Tennis 10s is a program that was created and implemented by the international tennis federation(ITF) in the early 2000s,as an integrated part of a campaign named „Tennis Play and Stay”, officially launched in February 2007,aiming to increase the practice of tennis all over the world. In the last period tennis has become more popular in Romania due to the exceptional international result of the athletes representing this sport. An important role is played by the integration of modern training methods,borrowed from abroad, in Romanian tennis clubs. Practically, coaches from Romania adopt the classical training methodology, the training methodology from”tennis 10s” or a mixture between them. Through this work I want to see by what method of training tactics are develop more pronounced, at 7-9 years-old tennis players, from the point of view of direction and amplitude in forehand and backhand. At the same time, through applied tests I will also discover if there are any substantial differences in the motion technique caused by balls having a different inner pressure.

Study on the Influence of Coordinative Capacities on Motor Performance of Primary School Students

Author(s): Petronel Cristian Moisescu,Raluca Mădălina Burlui / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

We can say with certainty about children’s coordinative capacities that they have a wide applicability in both daily and sporting activity, which means that they are native and perfectable qualities if subjects act on them selectively, continuously and as early as possible. Coordinative capacities represent a combination of complex qualities, which interfere with all other motor qualities. At the young school age, due to the maturation of the nervous system and as a result of the large number of organized motor skills, the level of coordination improves. The ease of learning the movements is benefited by a certain type of cognitive and sensory development recorded during this period and that materializes in the capacity of perception and observation. As far as the skill is concerned, the muscular strength increases and the ambidextrous character is emphasized, but also the extremities of the left and the right are highlighted. Ossification at this stage is intense at the level of the pelvis in the girls, as well as the calcification processes at the level of the hand, the joints strengthen and the volume of the muscles increases, the fine musculature of the hand develops. With all this in mind, it is important to work with care, as any kind of exaggeration or incorrect positions leads to persistent deformations. The morphofunctional maturity of the young children of school age implies the adaptation of the body to certain physical efforts, to the formation of awareness skills and to the relatively rational coordination of their movements.
