Title: The effects of a 3-week home convict conditioning on the fitness level to senior form students in Hong Kong

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 outbreak created the largest disruption of systems globally. In Hong Kong, the government announced class (face-to-face) suspension of all schools in response to the pandemic. As a result, online learning becomes a new platform for students to take part in lessons. However, there are a lot of restrictions that physical education class is facing as spaces and tools are insufficient at home. In order to maintain students’ physical activity (PA), a 3-weeks training program was conducted. The training program was based on the improvement of endurance, strength and cardiovascular function. Proposes: To investigate the possibility of a home fitness training program that increases the physical activity level of the senior form students and the effects of a modified home-based convict conditioning. Methodology: 30 F.4 to F.5 participants were recruited, participating in a 3-weeks online programme via zoom and videos. Three 30-minutes training sessions including online and self-practice per week were conducted. The research conducted as a pre-test and post-test design in the first session (week 0) and last session (week 4) with a 3-minutes burpee test(3MBT). Students’ enjoyment on PA and performance of the endurance, strength and cardiovascular function were measured at baseline and after the 3-weeks training practice. A modified version of Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) was adopted for measuring the self-efficacy of the participants. Results: There was a significant growth of the mean of 3MBT result after the intervention from 50.3 to 53.3. Furthermore, the participants enjoyed the intervention, showing a positive result generally.

Title: Compare the perspiration function and effect on long distance running between two sportswear products

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to compare the sports performance of 10 subjects by wearing 2 different brands of sweatshirt, respectively are HEAT.RDY and Tri-Knit. The age of subjects are from 19-24. The subjects are required to finish a 31 minutes running test (Treadmill) at a self selected speed. And, there are 6 parameters (body temperature, level of comfort, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate, weight change and blood lactate) will be recorded in this study and will be analyzed to find out the different efficacy between these two sweatshirts and how the sweatshirt can affect the performance of athletes. Results: In cloth x time, there were no significant differences at body temperature, level of comfort, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate, weight change and blood lactate. However, there were significant differences in body temperature, level of comfort, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate, weight change and blood lactate across time occasions.

Keywords: sweat, running, sportswear, heart rate, body temperature, weight change, level of comfort, RPE, blood lactate

Title: Investigating the general exercise participation of university students during the E-learning period

Abstract:

Purposes: Over a year, Hong Kong people have been influenced by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). There are huge impacts on their daily life, work, school or even the general exercise habit. People start changing their work mode and tends to prefer online mode as well. From the perspective of university students, they usually study through a E-learning platform, it might affect their living habits and exercise propensities during Covid-19. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the difference between the general health condition of people with and without exercise habits at the university in Hong Kong. Methodology: In order to comprehend the exercise habit of university students in Hong Kong under the pandemic. An online questionnaire was distributed (N=117) to university students in Hong Kong via email and mobile application to inspect their involvement of their general exercise during the E-learning period through a cross-sectional survey study. Results: According to the results of the questionnaire, there is a significant decrease in the number of exercises among university student during the pandemic. Furthermore, most of the interviewee have changed their exercise habits from 3-5 exercises to less than 1 time per week during the pandemic. In addition, the majority of interviewee believe that the sport venues were closed and need to wear mask to do exercise would be the major reason of not doing enough exercise. Conclusion: In conclusion, the pandemic of Covid-19 is reducing university student general exercise participation significantly.
