INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAYFUL COMPETITION IN ADOLESCENT FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Views:226Games are one of the most effective educational methods. Thanks to the game and the competitive situation, we can avoid monotonous work and motivate the child. In our research, we were interested in how the players’ performance changes due to the competitive situation. We hypothesized that speed and agility would be more effective if the competitive method were used. U-16 football players took part in the study. Our results showed that in both cases, speed and agility improved when we used the playful method. In this case, the playful method was to create a competitive situation. When measuring speed, 81% of players achieved better results when we created a competitive situation. When testing agility, 75% of the players performed better with the player method.

Examining the Correlation Between Speed and Change of Direction Running Speed (CODS) in Football
Views:36The correlation between speed and change-of-direction running speed (CODS) remains unclear, as indicated by the results of previous research. One reason may be that researchers have used different tests to investigate the speed of running with a change of direction (CODS), where the number of direction changes, the angle, the total length of the running test, and the time required to complete the test vary. The researchers agree that agility is not the same as straight-line running speed, but suggest that further studies are needed to determine the relationship. Regarding the relationship between speed and agility, the results showed a consistent trend that faster players tend to perform better on the agility test. Still, we could only statistically confirm this at 20 and 30 metres. Only for the agility test in the right direction was there a significant correlation between 20 and 30 meters alone. Our results indicate that both agility and and CODS require different developmental stages.

THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN SUPPORTING THE PERSONALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF ITS APPLICATION IN EDUCATION
Views:304Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems are constantly expanding, so it is not surprising that it has now reached the field of education. From the teachers' perspective, they saw potential in supporting teaching, while from the students' perspective, they saw potential in helping learning. In our research, we tested two hypotheses. First, how important do the teachers surveyed consider the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in supporting the personalized development of students, and how much potential do they see in the application of AI in education? We used a questionnaire method in the research. Three hundred seventy-four teachers participated in the study (N=374). 67.37 percent of the sample were PE (Physical Education) teachers, and 32.62 percent were SEN (Special Educational Needs) teachers. The results showed that special education teachers generally consider AI more essential than physical education teachers and support personalized development and practical and theoretical curricula. The differences are statistically significant, supported by low p-values (<0.05) and high t-values. The results may indicate that SEN teachers are more aware of the possibilities of using AI in education, especially in adapting it to students' individual needs. In contrast, physical education teachers are less optimistic and homogeneous in this regard.
