Talent cultivation is the priority of China’s talent strategy, which necessitates the education of interdisciplinary innovative talents that meet social needs. This paper presents the possible participation of Anhui University undergraduates in various research training programs and discusses recent exploration of the implementation of Student Research Training Program. It deals with a program ...

Sprint interval training (SIT) can elicit improvements in aerobic and anaerobic capacity. While variations in SIT protocols have been investigated, the influence of social processes cannot be overlooked. As research supports the use of groups to influence individual cognitions and behaviours, the current project assessed the effectiveness of a group-based intervention with participants conducti...

The theory of affordances, a conceptual pillar of the ecological approach to perception and action, has the potential to become a guiding principle for research on perception and action in sport. Affordances are opportunities for action. They describe the environment in terms of behaviors that are possible at a given moment under a given set of conditions. Affordances capture the tight coupling...

The logistical and operational challenges to improve public health practice capacity across Africa are well documented. This report describes Kenya's Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program's (KFELTP) experience in implementing frontline public health worker training to transfer knowledge and practical skills that help strengthen their abilities to detect, document, respond to, and r...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a power training cycle on maximum strength, maximum power, vertical jump height and acceleration in seven high-level 400-meter hurdlers subjected to a specific training program twice a week for 10 weeks. Each training session consisted of five sets of eight jump-squats with the load at which each athlete produced his maximum power. The repet...

The objective of this study was to develop a psychoeducation practitioner training program (PPTP) and to evaluate its usefulness with regard to nursing competencies (knowledge, self-efficacy, attitude, motivation, skills). A mixed-method research design was applied in this study. Some of the quantitative data were a one-group pretest-posttest study. Forty nurses participated in the PPTP, of who...

computers in schools, the majority of students still write by hand rather than using a keyboard. Children spend 31 to 60 per cent of their school day engaged in handwriting tasks (McHale & Cermak, 1992) and consequently handwriting ability remains an important factor in learning and assessment. Handwriting is a complex perceptualmotor skill that is vulnerable to a wide variety of dysfunctions, ...

become one of the core components in survival and success of any organization. unfortunately, despite the importance of training evaluation, a small portion of resources are allocated to this matter. among many evaluation models, the cipp model or context, input, process, product model is a very useful approach to educational evaluation. so far, the evaluation of the training courses mostly pro...
