The Declining Profile of Physical Education Programme in Educational Institut...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Since the early days of Nigerian history, Physical Education has always been considered as an
integral part of educational system as obtained in several nations of the world. The awareness of the values of
physical activities and sports, gave a boost to the prominence given to the practical and pedagogical aspects of
physical education in all segments of educational system in Nigeria, between 1950s and 1980s. Physical
Education was a compulsory subject in the curriculum of primary and teacher education, while the National
Policy on Education of 1970s and 1980s accommodated the programme for secondary education. However, it is
rather disturbing to note that there has been a systematic decline in the fortune of physical education in
Nigerian schools since 1990 to date. This paper therefore, examines the acceptability and recognition of
physical education programmes in Nigerian schools, and the inherent factors responsible for the steady decline
of its profile over the years.

This document provides a biomechanical reassessment of the scientific foundations of Judo as conceived by its founder Jigorō Kanō. It analyzes the core concepts of Kuzushi (unbalancing), Tsukuri (positioning), and Kake (execution) that make up the triad of Judo throwing techniques. The author argues that while Kanō separated these concepts didactically, biomechanics shows they occur as one fluid motion. A reassessment is presented that expands on these concepts, identifies new biomechanical principles of throwing, and clarifies Judo's techniques while supporting Kanō's educational framework.

His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

Abstract
Nordic Walking is a physical activity developed in northern Europe that has expanded worldwide.
Its ability to influence a variety of areas makes it a transversal activity in relation to health, physical
conditioning and sports. This explains its projection in tourism, leisure activities, rehabilitation and,
why not, education. However, even with this potential, it remains unknown in some countries. We
will therefore attempt to summarize the key points of this activity and propose a way of
implementation within the educational community.
Keywords: Nordic Walking, education, health
1.- What’s Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking is a form of physical activity, where to regular natural walking there has been
added the active use of a pair of specially designed Nordic Walking poles. However, the
characteristics of natural, biomechanically correct walking and appropriate posture are maintained
in all aspects. It also means that the arm movements of the correct Nordic Walking technique
respect the range of movement of natural walking.
Technically correct use of poles actively involves the upper body into the work of walking, to propel
the body forward. The physical strain is distributed in a versatile, balanced and appropriate way to
various muscle groups of the whole body.
The correct pole technique gives an opportunity to significantly intensify the process of walking by
increasing the muscle work of the upper body. It also gives an opportunity to involve the muscles of
the rest of the body. Nordic Walking is a safe, natural, dynamic, efficient and suitable-for-all form of
a physical activity that trains the body in a holistic, symmetric and balanced way. The overall goal
of Nordic Walking is a general physical and mental well-being (INWA, 2010).
2.- Origins and development
The fist type of Nordic Walking dates back to the thirties, in Finland, when the national cross
country skiing team started training the skiing technique during the summer, walking and running
with poles. Since then this has been an important off-season training method for every cross
country skier in the world.
The first research about its health benefits date back to 1966 in Finland. Nordic Walking in its
present form was initiated in 1996 when three organizations joined efforts in order to develop it: the
Suomen Latu, the Sports Institute of Vierumäki and Exel, a finish manufacturer of poles. Exel
invents the name “Nordic Walking” in 1997 and introduces the first composite Nordic Walking pole,
giving birth to the international expansion of this new sport. The INWA (International Nordic
Walking Association) is established in Finland in 2000 first as an association and as a federation
later on, with Finland, Austria and Germany as its first members. It is not until 2005 that the
Asociación Deportiva Nordic Walking Catalunya introduces this physical activity in Spain, being
INWA´s representative in Spain. (INWA-Spain, 2011)
2. NORDIC WALKING (RE)EDUCATION 2
3.- The technique, correct teaching and benefits
The 10 step approach to teaching Nordic Walking is based on three principles: correct posture,
correct walking and correct pole technique. It is based on: posture, walking, carrying, dragging,
planting, pushing, extending, recovering, leaning and rotating (INWA, 2011)
A correct technique yields benefits for those who practice it. Among the latest research the
following are outlined:
• Marked improvement not only in their fitness but in their body composition as well. That
improvement could be attributed to the specificity of Nordic Walking, i.e. engagement of
almost all muscles that enabled a more intense workout at a lower perceived fatigue
(Piotrowska, 2011).
• Physiological benefits: improves maximal oxygen uptake, heart rate and energy
expenditure (Morgulec-Adamowicz, Marszalek & Jagustyn, 2011).
• Biomechanic benefits: improves posture, reduces stress on the foot joints (Pérez, Llana,
Encarnación & Fuster 2009) and load reduction effect on the lumbar vertebrae´s shear
force, the hip compression force and the knee shear force (Koizumi, Tsujiuchi, Takeda,
Fujikura, & Kojima, 2011).
• Psychological benefits: regular Nordic Walking in family practice could be used as a form of
rehabilitation for depressed patients (Suija, Pechter, Kalda, Tähepõld, Maaroos & Maaroos,
2009).
4.- Nordic Walking´s educational potential
The unhealthy environments and behaviours in our society led to different international institutions
and bodies to voice their concerns about obesity and overweight problems caused by a sedentary
lifestyle and inactivity, particularly in children (WHO, 2010). Educating via Nordic Walking
permanently communicates formal and informal areas. This means that it is not only used as an
educational tool but as a reeducational one, in a transveral way for most of the population,
integrating different ages, physical conditions and backgrounds. And here lies the true importance
of the professional´s specific training in this physical activity, in order to lead individuals or groups:
• At schools it is possible to implement it on Physical Education and extra-curricular activities.
But also for teachers and as a shared activity for students and their parents. Based on our
own experience with students participating in the activities of the Sports Educational Plan in
Catalunya, via the Sports Councils of Ripollès and Cerdanya, Physical Education classes
should be structured through games and ability circuits with poles and not through teaching
the walking technique. In this way the most boring aspects of learning are eliminated and
motivation is achieved by introducing the active elements. Regarding the teachers there are
two values to consider: on one hand the possibility of having a new innovative and healthy
educational resource, and on the other, knowing the technique, which will invite to its
practice. This will enable teachers to gain the benefits associated to the practice of Nordic
walking, minimising the effects of bad postural habits at work and muscular pain due to the
accumulated tension of the working day.
Examples: Nordic Walking seminar, aimed to teaching body, Sports Council of Baix
Llobregat, 2012 (http://nordicwalkingpirineus.blogspot.com); and the international project
“Walking Towars Health”, 2011-2013 (http://www.walkingtowardshealth.com) carried out by
four secondary schools from Poland, Italy, Portugal, and Catalonia-Spain (Comenius
Programme).
3. NORDIC WALKING (RE)EDUCATION 3
• At health centres, the use of Nordic Walking in prevention measures and as a therapeutic
option for different pathologies represents both an educational activity and a re-educational
action for our bodies in order to restore body balance.
• At sporting entities, introducing this physical activity and providing a continuous technical
improvement, not only focusing on Nordic Walking itself but also as a tool to improve
performance in other sporting activities.
• At the Public Administration, promoting healthy physical activity and coordinating all entities
involved in this matter
Certainly, it is not rare to find a hybrid blending of the mentioned points, thus, making the
transversality of Nordic Walking evident, as it is always linked to one or more attributes:
educational, sporting, touristic, familial, social, healthy, therapeutic, preventive…
5.- Conclusions
Nordic Walking is presented as a learning process of a new technique of adding poles to the
natural way of walking. But most of all, as an educational tool when promoting the health habit of
practicing physical activity. Its maximal potential is gained when practiced in a group.
Little by little we will have a population familiarised with this “kind” physical activity, undoubtedly
facilitating their adherence to it and contributing to breaking free from the social isolation a number
of them suffer. But there is another positive value to consider: thanks to the knowledge and
practice of Nordic Walking, the developed skills and aptitudes will be transferable to everyday life
during our lifetime.
