This research was a research and development (R&D) model which aimed to 1) develop a tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students, 2) evaluate the quality of a tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students and 3) study user satisfaction of a tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students. The target groups consisted of 5 experts, 2 PE teachers, and 30 parents of early childhood students who studying at Kensington International Kindergarten Bangkok. The research tools were the tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students, suitability assessment form and satisfaction questionnaire and the statistics used to analyze the data were Mean and Standard Deviation. The results showed that; 1) a tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students had accuracy value was equal 0.93 and the 6 levels of swimming practice test for early childhood had total mean accuracy value was equal 0.97. 2) The quality averages of the suitability of PE teachers and parents on a tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students were at the highest level. 3) The satisfaction averages of PE teachers and parents on a tracking and evaluating application of basic swimming skills for early childhood students were at the highest level.

The study aimed 1) to compare the effects of the circuit training program on health-related physical fitness between the experimental group and the control group, 2) to compare the effects of the circuit training program on health-related physical fitness between males and females, and 3) to compare the effects of health-related physical fitness after week 4 and week 8. The samples in the study included 44 secondary school students from Watchotikaram School by Multi-Stage Sampling. Research instruments included 1) the circuit training program developed by the researcher 2) a physical fitness test by the Sport Science Bureau, Department of Physical Education, Ministry of Tourism and Sports. Regarding research methodology, the data were collected by the experimental group for 8 weeks and 3 days a week, which are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The practice began from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Health-related physical fitness was tested at 3-time intervals, namely before training, after week 4, and week 8. The results of the pre-training physical fitness test were used as a covariant in the research. Statistics for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, Three-way analysis of covariance with repeated measures, Two-way analysis of covariance with repeated measures, and Tukey’s Pairwise Mean Comparisons.

Results
1. Health-related physical fitness between the experimental group and the control group found that the body mass index: BMI, sit and reach, 30 seconds modified push ups, and 3 minutes step up and down had no difference while 60-second sit-up had a statistically significant difference of 0.05 2. Health-related physical fitness between males and females found that the body mass index: BMI, sit and reach, 30 seconds modified push ups, 60-second sit-ups, and 3 minutes step up and down had no difference. 3. Health-related physical fitness after week 4 and week 8 found that the body mass index: BMI had no difference sit and reach, 30 seconds modified push ups, 60-second sit-ups, and 3 minutes step up and down had a statistically significant difference of 0.05.

The purposes of this research were 1) to compare the effects of elastic band circuit training program on secondary school students’ health-related physical fitness before and after the experiment of the experimental group. and 2) to compare the health-related physical fitness of secondary school students between an experimental group and a control group after the
experiment. Forty students participated in the study. The students were divided equally into two groups of 20 students each: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received an elastic band circuit training program. and the control group exercised as normal. The experimental group program lasts for 60 minutes a session, 3 sessions a week for 8 weeks. Physical fitness tests related to health were performed before and after the experiment. The data was analyzed using the mean standard deviation (SD), and the t-test was run at a significance level of.05. The results of the research were as follows: 1) After the experiment, the experimental group had better health-related physical fitness than before the experiment. statistically at the significant .05 level. 2) After the experiment, the experimental group had better health-related physical fitness than the control group at the significance at .05 level.

Nuttanun Tummanont, Suppawan Vongsrangsap, Niromlee Makaje — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The objectives of this research were 1) to development of survival swimming practices to protect themselves from drowning for children aged 9 - 12 2) to compare survival swimming skills for self-defense from drowning in children aged 9 - 12 years before and after training. The sample were 30 children aged 9 - 12 years who had never learned to swim before obtained by a specific selection method. The research instrument was a development of survival swimming practices to protect themselves from drowning for children aged 9 - 12. Data from these tests was statistically analyzed by examining mean, S.D., and paired t-test with in groups testing for a difference in mean.

The research found that 1) the survival swimming practices to protect themselves from drowning for children aged 9 - 12 with content accuracy equal to 0.80 - 1.00 2) the results of comparison survival swimming skills for self-defense from drowning in children aged 9 - 12 years before and after training were significantly different at the .05 level.
