Bridge is an intellectual sport that helps to develop the ability to analyze logic and teamwork, and is well developed in Chinese colleges. This study aimed to explore the mental health level and influencing factors of Chinese college bridge athletes. This study was conducted on athletes who participated in the 2023 Chinese College Bridge Championships (N=210). The analysis showed that the lowest SCL-90 score of the athletes was 90, the highest score was 277, and the mean score was 125.76 ± 34.91. There were significant differences in the scores of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (p < 0.01), Depression (p < 0.05), and Phobic Anxiety (p < 0.05) factors of the athletes of different genders, and the findings showed males were better than females. Athletes of different ages showed significant differences in OCD factor scores (p < 0.05), with higher ages having better mental health. There was a significant difference between athletes with different levels of education in the OCD and In.....

Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP), which affects 80% to 90% of adults, presents symptoms without a clearly identifiable source. This review aimed to evaluate the effects of abdominal hollowing versus abdominal bracing exercises on balance and functional disability in NSCLBP patients. A systematic search was conducted using  the  Google  Scholar  and  PubMed  databases,  covering  literature  from  2006  to  2023.  Out  of  30  identified articles,  only  4  met  the  inclusion  criteria  for  this  review.  The  results  suggest  that  both  abdominal  bracing  and abdominal  hollowing  exercises  can  improve  balance  and functional  disability  in  NSCLBP  patients.  Functional disability improvements were associated with pain reduction, while dynamic balance was enhanced through core stability exercises, likely due to the preferential activation of core muscles following training adaptations, which reduces abnormal lumbar motion.....

A significant amount of research has been done on the benefits of consuming carbohydrates while exercising, especially for longer workouts when endogenous glucose levels are low. Consuming carbonated carbohydrates has the important effect of postponing exhaustion by preventing the body from using up its essential energy supply for activity. It is common knowledge among athletes that impact on the mouth's oral receptors by causing sharpness and acidity could give sensation to the mouthfeel. However, given the nature of the running, for example availability of fluids, it may be difficult for athletes to rehydrate in a true race situation. Carbohydrate mouth rinsing has been shown to improve extended exercise performance as an alternative to drinking. The fundamental process behind this enhancement has been linked to the stimulation of the brain behavioural centre and oral receptor, which both boost exercise performance and are related to rewards. The efficacy of carbohydrate mouth rinsin.....

Recovery nutrition play an important role in body adaptation towards exercise and sports performance. Combination of different saccharides and amino acid content fasten recovery result which promotes exercise adaptation and prepared athletes’ body for next session of exercise. There are abundant of recovery supplement available but most of it was milk base products which could contribute to lactose intolerance negative effect among consumers. Therefore, Zea mays which is plant based is propose as an alternative food supplement for exercise recovery choices. Zea mays kernel was grind for the juice and homogenized with sugar, fructose, xanthan gum and pectin. The mixture been cook for 20 minutes using double boiler at 95°C. The gel sample then fill in the gel pack and keep at room temperature for shelve live assessment. Proximate analysis showed the presence of sucrose (20.5g/100g), fructose (9.2g/100g) and total carbohydrate is 51.5g/100g. Essential amino acids that presence is argin.....

Bahan bantu mengajar (BBM) berasaskan Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (TMK) berupaya mencipta lingkungan pembelajaran yang interaktif di dalam kelas. Walau bagaimanapun, penggunaan TMK masih belum lagi dilaksanakan secara menyeluruh dalam proses Pembelajaran dan Pemudahcaraan (PdPc). Situasi ini turut dihadapi bagi mata pelajaran Pertanian berikutan terdapat guru-guru yang masih lagi tidak berminat dengan penggunaan BBM berasaskan teknologi. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan satu E-Modul yang dilengkapi dengan komponen gamifikasi bagi subtopik Pengiraan Baja yang diberi nama GamiE-Modul LaNr (Latihan asas Nota ringkas). Terdapat dua objektif kajian iaitu i) untuk membangun GamiE-Modul LaNr bagi subtopik Pengiraan Baja dan ii) untuk menentu kebolehgunaan GamiE-Modul LaNr bagi subtopik Pengiraan Baja. GamiE-Modul LaNr dibangunkan berdasarkan teori konstruktivisme dan Model ADDIE. Pendekatan kajian yang digunakan ialah penyelidikan kuantitatif dan kajian tinjauan keratan.....

Sistem kawalan merupakan salah satu subtopik yang terdapat dalam buku teks Reka Cipta tingkatan 5. Sistem kawalan merupakan satu set peranti yang mengawal sesuatu pergerakan dan fungsi sesebuah peralatan atau mesin. Ia merupakan gabungan beberapa komponen yang boleh beroperasi berdasarkan kepada kerja yang dilakukan setelah diprogramkan. Para guru menyatakan kesediaan peralatan dan alat bantu mengajar masih kurang memuaskan. Pihak sekolah masih lagi tidak mempunyai peralatan dan kelengkapan yang sepenuhnya bagi menghasilkan ABM untuk digunakan dalam PdPc. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk membangunkan Electro Learn Kit berasaskan Internet of Things (IoT) sebagai ABM bagi topik Sistem Kawalan. Pembangunan Electro Learn Kit ini menggunakan teori kognitivisme dan konstruktivisme berlandaskan model ADDIE, yang melibatkan lima peringkat utama iaitu analisis, reka bentuk, pembangunan, implementasi, dan penilaian. Kajian ini melibatkan tiga orang guru matapelajaran Reka Cipta yang ditemub.....
