Main benefits of sport Literacy

 Main Benefits of Sport Literacy   Prevents chronic diseases Teaching and learning sport literacy helps prevent chronic diseases promoting physical health and providing a variety of ways that physical activity can be competed, whether that’s by yourself, with a couple of friends or a team of players. Risks of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, infectious diseases and some cancers can be reduced by doing the minimum of 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity, and can be further prevented by doing regular physical activity (CDC, 2024). Many different psychological benefits The psychological benefits of physical health and literacy extend far, with systematic evaluations indicating that physical activity is helping provide better outcomes for different mental illnesses and diseases, as well as helping improve “numerous psychological effects, such as self esteem, cognitive function, mood, depression and quality of life” (Mahindru et al., 2023).

Practical strategies

 Practical strategies SEPEP SEPEP is a model of teaching physical education that mimics the structure of organized sport. It gives students the opportunity to take on varied roles beyond just being players, helping them develop leadership, teamwork, and organizational skills. The key roles in SEPEP include the Coach, Captain, Umpire, statistician, timekeeper/scorer, equipment manager, media/reporter and manager. These roles encourage student ownership of their learning, promote responsibility, and help develop a wide range of personal and social skills, not just athletic ability.   Game based approach The Game-Based Approach (GBA) is a teaching model in Physical Education that focuses on learning through playing games rather than just practicing isolated skills. It emphasizes understanding, decision-making, and tactical awareness within the context of the game. Some of the main benefits of the game based approach is the improved game sense, tactical thinking, development in te...

In, Through and About movement

In movement Learning in movement takes the integrated educational approach to physical activity with cognitive learning, like enhancing concentration, memory and comprehension, being the main focus’. This can be conducted through “thoughtful participation” in ‘applying tactics and strategies in a game, appraising the physical capacities and requirements of an activity (Brown & Penney, 2012). Not only this but it also strengthens other neural pathways related to decision making and sport literacy, with teamwork and social literacy also being big improvement areas in a practical sense.   About movement Learning about movement relates to the acquisition and application of skills, personal and social development and the understanding of physical activity. When learning about movement, students learn about fundamental motor skills like throwing catching, punting, kicking, through the use of different types of levers. Not only this but students improve their sport literacy and improv...

In what ways does optimal pitching technique affect pitch velocity and accuracy in baseball, considering the contributions of rotational velocity, whole-body mechanics, and ball release speed?

 This blog report investigates the question: In what ways does optimal pitching technique affect pitch velocity and accuracy in baseball, considering the contributions of rotational velocity, whole-body mechanics, and ball release speed?  These biomechanical components will be closely examined and explored into the relation of how they influence performance outcomes and data relating to a baseball pitch improvement.  This blog report will also explain how kinetics and kinematics relate to a baseball pitch and how they can affect variables in a pitch.
