It is a lack of in-depth study on the comprehensive information services and assessment in the national physical fitness and the National Fitness Program. A WebGIS-based interactive platform was designed to collect and analyze national physical fitness-related indicators such as data from the National Fitness Program and the geographical and humanistic environments. Seven functional modules were designed...
Rapid Recovery is a novel engaging exergame intended to facilitate shoulder rehabilitation and physical fitness through a kayak simulation across several courses/scenarios. Here we present the results of alpha testing that was conducted to examine initial functionality of Rapid Recovery and to gauge the game's clarity of content, ease of use, and the user interface. Preliminary results have provided...
This chapter focuses on adult development and aging, successful aging, and the individual practices that contribute to aging well. Several theories of adult development have been postulated. Counselors can use these theories to obtain insight or guidance in the counseling process. There are many perspectives about what constitutes successful aging. Some of these perspectives include: having good health,...
We present an overview of episodic memory development from childhood to old age that integrates behavioral and neural evidence. The overview is informed by the two‐component framework (Shing et al. 2010), which conceives of lifespan changes in episodic memory as the interplay of two separable but interacting components, one associative and the other strategic. We note that normative age gradients...
We present Rapid Recovery, a novel engaging exergame intended to facilitate shoulder rehabilitation, and physical fitness through a kayak simulation across several courses/scenarios. Central to Rapid Recovery is the Spincore Inc. Helium 6 baton, a unique stand-alone fitness and rehabilitation device. Using a Microsoft Kinect stereo vision sensor, the player’s kayak paddling motions of the Helium 6...
Accompanying the reform and opening up of economic construction and social development of democracy in China, Grassroots' annual income is increased significantly, but Physical fitness is declining. Controlling Population and improving the quality of the population are China's basic national policies. To solve the problems of low per capita health care resources and space and time limitation of sports...
Exergames enable players to interact with games through body movement. With various positive effects of exergaming such as physical, psychosocial and cognitive benefits, exergames are regarded as a desirable tool for promoting physical education. However, there is little research about exergaming experience with flow state, enjoyment, and physical fitness. In this study, The Exergames Flow State Questionnaire...
Firstly, this paper expounds the basic physical theory from the players, the sports technology aspects, and the quality of physical addresses is in the kinetic theory of the status. The role on the discussion of the physical and technical theory as well as the practice for the sport is in existence. Thus, with the practice of modern sports training, it gives a set of basic theory.
Through utilization of research results from the related literature of the physical health researches, after mathematical and technical process of data, from various analysis researches of psychological health test methods, we sought out an approach to comprehensively evaluate mental health that suited to the college students' “Physical Fitness and Health Criteria”, and thus achieving all-around and...
A physical fitness condition measurement system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is proposed in this paper. The system includes a RFID tag, a RFID reader, a main control board, and several peripherals such as blood pressure meter, ear-temperature meter, height-weight meter, balance measurement, and speed test for running back-forth measurement. The RFID tag and reader are...
In badminton, it demands excellent physical fitness and good motor coordination for the development of sophisticated racquet movement. This project aims at identifying the difference of forehand overhead smash performed by male and female players. The parameters to study were focused on upper arm, forearm and wrist segments. Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) software and five Oqus camera system were used...
Every cyclist responds individually to a certain training intensity. This response can influence the effectiveness of predefined training schedules. In this study, real-time measurements of physiological responses that cyclist already use (e.g. heart rate, power measurements), were used in an algorithm that could accurately monitor different individual heart rate responses to training intensities...
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are in need of effective physical fitness training programs, leisure time opportunities and strategies to improve their participation. The overall objective was to gather ldquolessons learnedrdquo towards the formulation of a best practices model for the application of VR intervention for adults with IDD. During study 1 a group of...
With critical data gathered during the battlefields, commanders are able to generate more plans and make better decisions more swiftly. Providing up-to-minute medical information such as physical and psychological fitness of each soldier can significantly help these decisions. The most of current medical information gathering system is in a format of speech or text. To collect this data with mobile...
This research uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and analysis level procedural law to assess adolescent golf player's skills and inform the coaches of the training they should take. The adolescent golf player's attributes are analyzed-through an interview of famous teachers Lu Xijun, Gao Chunde, Song Dingheng, and Coaches Lu Jiaqi, Ye Xingqun, Chen Zhihong to determine their ability level....
We present the design and implementation of a system that monitors physical activities of a human user wearing a portable device equipped with inertial sensors. This system uses inertial sensor data to automatically classify human activities using a trained classifier. The portable device is used both as a sensing as well as an application platform with user interface. The software application includes...
This study analyzes the heart rate and voice response of young students while walking or listening to sounds based on 1/f (f = frequency) fluctuation using FFT spectral analysis. There was more positive 1/f fluctuation in heart rate response in normal walking or while listening to comfortable sounds than under stressful conditions, whereas the response was negatively influenced by walking with a heavy...
This study analyzes the walking balance of young students based on 1/f fluctuations using auto-regressive (AR) modeling. There was more good walking balance than bad, influenced positively or negatively by the students' shoes. After the subjects understood their own walking condition, based on 1/f fluctuation, and had received suitable rehabilitation and shoes, their walking balance became better...
