Snyder, Natalie; Cinelli, Michael – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2020
Background: Balance control is an essential element of locomotion that enhances biomotor abilities and physical performance. Individuals with extensive soccer experience display superior static single leg balance control compared to athletes of other sports as well as non-athletes. However, during a match, players often encounter greater…

Chiu, Loren Z. F.; Daehlin, Torstein E. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Males (n = 29) and females (n = 34) performed vertical jumps. Jump height was estimated from force platform data using five numerical methods and compared using intraclass correlation ([rho]), and linear and rank regression standard error of estimate ("SEE"). Take-off velocity plus center of mass height at take-off and mechanical work…

Alt, Tobias; Knicker, Axel J.; Severin, Jannik; Horn, Dennis; Nodler, Yannick T.; Strüder, Heiko K. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Many sports demand high forces at high movement speeds. Joint power combines these two measures and is frequently analyzed by isokinetic tests. However, various concepts of assessing joint power lead to conflicting results. The aim was to examine different methods to calculate peak power during isokinetic knee tests of sixty-one healthy male…

Pili, Unofre B. – Physics Education, 2020
Using Tracker, a popular video-based physics modeling tool, the position-time data of magnetically damped oscillations of a simple pendulum are acquired. Eddy currents are generated on an aluminum sheet as the magnetic pendulum bob passes over it and the induced magnetic field opposes that of the magnetic bob. This causes the damping. A…

McGann, Jamie; Issartel, Johann; Hederman, Lucy; Conlan, Owen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
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.…

Alejandro Parra Cordova; Omar Israel González Peña – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A five day activity that involves the construction and characterization of a small car whose motion is controlled by the vitamin C clock reaction is presented. The purpose of the activity is to engage first-year Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students not majoring in the chemical sciences. Throughout the activity students…

Ramos, L. M.; Reis, C. R. N.; Calheiro, L. B.; Goncalves, A. M. B. – Physics Education, 2021
Using a joystick module, we followed the movement of a chaotic magnetic pendulum. The pendulum bar was attached to a joystick that served as a pivot point and biaxial angular motion sensor. Using an Arduino board, we could follow the position as a function of time along both the "x" and "y"-axis and draw a graph showing the…

Chon, HeeCheong; Jackson, Eric S.; Kraft, Shelly Jo; Ambrose, Nicoline G.; Loucks, Torrey M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test whether adults who stutter (AWS) display a different range of sensitivity to delayed auditory feedback (DAF). Two experiments were conducted to assess the fluency of AWS under long-latency DAF and to test the effect of short-latency DAF on speech kinematic variability in AWS. Method: In Experiment 1,…

Schott, Christian; Marshall, Stephen – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Virtual reality technology has made significant advances and is now widely recognised for its potential to provide fully immersive experiences that have relevance to many aspects of life, including education. This paper explores the effectiveness of VR technology for situated experiential education by adopting a user experience (UX) theoretical…

Rovšek, Barbara; Žigon, Sašo – Physics Teacher, 2021
This paper addresses a popular topic in science teaching and competitions for primary and secondary school students. Experiments with colliding coins are relatively easy to perform and therefore popular in science lessons. We used the idea in the science competition we organized for pupils aged 6 to 13 years.7 The science competition is based on a…

Schäfle, Claudia; Kautz, Christian – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
We report on an investigation of student thinking about steady-state pipe flow of an incompressible fluid. About 250 undergraduate engineering students were given a test consisting of two hydrodynamics questions, combining multiple-choice format with subsequent open-ended explanations. There is substantial evidence that students have difficulty…

Participants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (n = 121, mean [SD] age: 14.6 [8.0] years) and typically developing (TD) controls (n = 40, 16.4 [13.3] years) were presented with a series of videos representing biological motion on one side of a computer monitor screen and non-biological motion on the other, while their eye movements were…

Shafigh, Amir Abbas Eslami – Physics Education, 2021
In the transition from classical to modern physics, the idea of taking some certain quantities as distinct or bounded values and keeping the rest continuous has proved useful in dealing with many problems. In this paper we assume an upper bound on the velocity of classical particles and indicate that applying this assumption to electromagnetism…

De Luca, Roberto; Faella, Orazio; Vestuti, Barbara – Physics Education, 2021
The motion of a cylindrically or spherically symmetric body on an accelerated treadmill, inclined of an angle [theta] with respect to the horizontal, is described by means of Newtonian mechanics. By assuming that the conveyor belt has an acceleration "a[subscript O][superscript ']", not necessarily constant, and that the body rolls on…

Tél, Tamas – Physics Education, 2021
Chaotic phenomena are not part of standard curricula, although this subject offers several interesting aspects which can help students better understand basic features of science. A central observation is that even simple physical systems, if chaotic, are unpredictable, just like the weather. We present the principles applied when developing a…
