Book Description
Context: The ability of practitioners to engage in critically appraising patient information, making clinical judgements, assessing treatment efficacy and effectiveness, and ultimately seeking improvement of clinical practices are paramount to ensuring quality health care. Objective: To evaluate the effects of two computer-based instructional modalities, computer simulation (SIM) or case study (CS), on critical thinking skills and self-efficacy of undergraduate athletic training students. Design: Pretest-Posttest Study. Setting: University Computer Classroom. Patients or Other Participants: Subjects included 49 pre-clinical level students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training from a CAATE-accredited undergraduate athletic training education program. Intervention: Subject received an 8-week computer-based instructional interventions consisting of either 5 written simulations or 5 traditional case studies covering the Acute Care and Assessment and Evaluation of Athletic Injuries and Illnesses Injuries and Illness content areas. Main Outcome: Subjects' critical thinking skills were measured using the Health Science Reasoning Test (HSRT). A Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ) was utlized to assess the subjects' perceptions of their ability to learn and perform clinical problem solving. Results: There was no significant change measured in critical thinking or self-efficacy for either the SIM or CS groups over the 8-week study. There were no statistical differences in HSRT Total Score or SEQ scores found between groups. Conclusion: The 8-week stand-alone computer-based interventions assessed in this study did not yield statistically significant improvements in critical thinking of self efficacy as measured by the HSRT and SEQ. However, these interventions may be a valuable mechanism for providing students with multiple context-rich experiences in which to practice connecting basic content knowledge in higher cognitive applications. Furthermore, these simulations may provide guided opportunities for students to collect and reflect on clinical data, practice core critical thinking skills, and receive feedback on their performances in preparation for clinical field experiences.

Educating the Student Body

Book Description
Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Book Description
Written for both the undergraduate/graduate level student as well as practitioners in the field, this text incorporates all programming aspects of strength and conditioning including training methods to develop muscular strength and power, flexibility, and the development of effective warm-up regimens. Performance analysis techniques in sport are introduced while the constraints-led approach to motor skills acquisition is presented as a framework that can guide the development of practices for the strength and conditioning practitioner. The biomechanical and motor skill acquisition concepts introduced in the text are then applied to fundamental movements including jumping, landing, and sprint running. Key Features: - Provides a solid introduction to biomechanics pertinent to the study of human movements - Discusses the performance analysis techniques in sport that can be used by the strength and conditioning practitioner to determine the physiological, mechanical, and technical demands of specific sports, and also the assessment of the techniques used in the execution of sport-specific skills - Includes a critical review of the different approaches to motor skill acquisition - Incorporates clear learning objectives and worked examples in each chapter that allow readers to apply the concepts to real-life situations - Discusses the application of the most recent research pertinent to concepts in each chapter - Includes appendices to expand on some of the more complex mathematical techniques required to perform biomechanical analyses and useful resources to aid the student in locating and evaluating scientific evidence.
