　View Summary

<p>This study has examined the effects of a hybrid physical education program designed to enhance the physical activity self-management agency (PASMA) and physical activity levels among university students. The program was based on Karada-Tsukuri Undo (physical fitness–building activities in Japanese school physical education) and combined physical activity sessions, lectures, and homework assignments. The course design was grounded in the COM-B model, which posits that behavior is generated through the interaction of capability, opportunity, and motivation. Therefore, the program was structured to simultaneously promote these three components.The intervention included physical activities that were easy to incorporate into daily life, such as stretching, resistance training, and walking, as well as enjoyable group activities such as G-ball exercises and Rhönrad (wheel gymnastics). In addition, students participated in lectures and worksheet-based activities on exercise and health, completed homework using a monitoring sheet to record their goals, reflected on their progress, and adjusted their plans.The results showed that the intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in overall PASMA scores when compared to the control group. Notable improvements were observed, particularly in planning ability, emotional and behavioral control, and decision-making ability. Furthermore, the total physical activity levels and vigorous-intensity physical activity significantly increased.These findings have suggested that a hybrid program designed in accordance with the COM-B model can foster abilities related to physical activity planning for daily life within the Karada-Tsukuri Undo and lead to behavioral changes. In other words, the hybrid program in this study improved both the PASMA and physical activity levels, indicating its educational value in promoting exercise habits rooted in daily life within university physical education.</p>

Promoting proactive learning in motor tasks through video feedback

Midori Kahata, Miwako Homma, Yosuke Sakairi, Rei Amemiya, Ryo Matsuura

Journal of Gymnastics for All ( Japan Society of Gymnastics for All ) 18 ( 0 ) 77 - 90 2025.11 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

　View Summary

In recent years, video feedback has attracted attention as a component of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in physical education classes. However, comprehensive comparative studies remain limited. This study examines the effects of video feedback on task skills, voluntary practice, and reflective reports. For this, a juggling task was administered to undergraduate students in a health and physical education teacher training program. A comparison between the video feedback group (n = 31) and the non- video feedback group (n = 32) revealed significant improvements in skill performance (p < .01) and promotion of voluntary practice (p < .05) in the video feedback group. The findings suggest that video feedback enables learners to analytically identify technical issues, engage in deliberate practice, foster proactive learning, and develop fundamental motor skills. Conversely, in the absence of video feedback, technical task-setting and adjustment may be insufficient. Also, case-based observations indicated that video feedback may occasionally reduce learning efficiency, highlighting pedagogical implications such as the importance of providing stepwise observation points.

The effects of stretching that can be practiced in daily life behavior on mood

Ryo Matsuura, Atsushi Kiuchi, Takako Hiwa, Midori Kahata, Kiyonao Hasegawa

Journal of Gymnastics for All ( Japan Society of Gymnastics for All ) 18 ( 0 ) 62 - 76 2025.10 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

　View Summary

In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of stretching exercises, performed during daily activities, on mood. Therefore, we developed a stretching exercise called “Nagaraku exercise" that can be performed during daily activities, such as stair climbing, smartphone use, and sitting. Furthermore, we compared changes in mood between regular daily activities and those that included “Nagaraku exercise" using the two-dimensional mood scale among university students who studied physical education as part of the liberal arts. Our results showed that compared to regular daily activities, performed without stretching exercises, those that included “Nagaraku exercise" significantly improved vitality and pleasure during stair climbing, and vitality, pleasure, and arousal during smartphone use and sitting. These findings indicate that “Nagaraku exercise," which can be performed during daily activities, can improve mood. “Nagaraku exercise" can thus be incorporated as a new intervention for reducing sedentary behavior.
