This research assessed the injuries encountered and injury management techniques employed by DanceSport competitors in Western Visayas region of the Philippines who had been competing for at least three years both locally and internationally. A checklist of common injuries and injury management techniques were formulated and validated by three experts. Injuries in different regions of the DanceSport competitors’ body were measured using a 3-point Likert Scale based on the experience of the competitor. A total of 25 Modern Standard and 25 Latin-American competitors were selected using a purposive sampling method. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the injuries encountered and the corresponding management techniques employed by the competitors. Moreover, Mann Whitney U test was utilized to see significant differences between Modern Standard and Latin-American competitors with respect to frequency of injuries encountered and management technique, and the relationship between injury and injury management was determined using 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that DanceSport competitors encountered stiff neck, herniated disc at cervical, hamstring muscle injury, and posterior tibial tendonitis injuries. During training and prior to actual competition, warming up before doing an activity, staying fit and exercising to keep the muscles stronger and more resistant to injury were the management techniques employed. Taking relative rest, maintaining the position that provides comfort and cooling down after the activity were also practiced. No significant difference in the injury management techniques among the competitors of the two DanceSport categories. However, injuries in the shoulder region encountered among the Latin- American competitors is significantly higher than Modern Standard counterparts (U = 226.0; p = 0.04). No significant relationship was noted between injuries encountered and injury management techniques. This study showed that the injuries encountered by both DanceSport competitors are similar. It is recommended that competitors assume self-responsibility and trainers to regularly upgrade their competencies to mitigate potential injuries due this highly strenuous activity.

The development of science and technology due to digital technology has influenced the overall culture and arts and has led to a focus on new media art utilizing new media. This study aims to study what video installation dance is, which makes dance into a video like a movie in this era so that it can be viewed anywhere like installation art. This is a qualitative study that infers the flow and advantages of video installation dance after analyzing digital videos installed in the Seoul area that are currently being used with digital technology. The results are as follows: First, video installation dance satisfies the five senses, which are human instincts, through digital video and can express emotional sympathy of joy in a wide variety of ways. Second, video installation dance can be a cultural phenomenon that the majority of ordinary citizens can view informally and a place for positive communication. Third, video installation dance can expand expression methods and establish the concept of artistic value as a new art form in the overall arts. Fourth, the content of a work of art can be effectively conveyed by installing a video with high visual impact to convey the message of the work. Fifth, it can provide a unique artistic experience to ordinary citizens who appreciate the work. The emergence of an art form that expresses a new world by combining the genres of video, dance, and installation art with the help of the latest scientific technology can be seen as a further development of dance performance. From the perspective of creative knowledge creation in 21st century art, research on today's art technology is expected to create new and diverse types of art.

As a school discipline in Quebec, dance is heir to the Modern Educational Dance (MED) movement, founded by Rudolf Laban (1948, 1976), better known in Quebec as creative dance (Raymond, 2014, p. 22). About ten years ago, Movement Observation-Analysis (MOA) (Harbonnier, Dussault, Ferri, 2021) was introduced into the artistic and pedagogical training of school dance teachers in Quebec. With the aim of revising ministerial programs for teaching dance in Quebec schools, which are over twenty years old, we wondered how MOA concepts were useful to dance teachers in Quebec schools. To this end, we asked ten school dance teachers to describe their use of OAM in their teaching, using the technique of the explicitation interview (Vermersch, 1994). With regard to the pedagogical function of school dance teachers, the results of our research, through the case study of teacher Suzie, show that MOA provides an enriched and clarified conceptual framework and lexicon to refine movement observation activities (diagnostic function), improve pedagogical communication (physical demonstration and verbal instructions), and provide knowledge about movement to share with students, fostering their autonomy in learning (learning support function).

The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment tool which is able to identify dance giftedness from an educational point of view. Questions were developed by a team of 6 experts with more than 10 years of experience in research on dance education as well as teaching experience. The developed questions were subjected to exploratory factor analysis 50 experts in the dance field. Subsequently, the following items were obtained: 16 items on body functional intelligence (physical, strength, kinesthetic, control ability), 16 on motion cognitive intelligence (movement accuracy, technique acceptance, sequence recognition, task concentration), 14 on image expression intelligence (synesthetic expression, musical harmony, emotional acting), 14 on creative fusion intelligence (choreography originality, choreography application, problem solving ability), and 14 on intrinsic motivation (dance self organization, dance competence, and dance immersion in dance), resulting in 74 items overall. Based on these results, we discussed whether giftedness in dance could be distinguished more precisely from a multifaceted perspective. It refers to the motivation that comes from one's own interest, curiosity, self-satisfaction, and sense of accomplishment while dancing. It was possible to confirm the potential of dance giftedness from an educational point of view, suggesting an expansion of educational opportunities for potential gifted children.

This study aimed to investigate the dance medicine and science subjects in the university curriculums of dance-affiliated departments in Korea and proposes a direction in Korea for the composition of the dance medicine and science curriculums by comparing it with other institutes. This study analyzed dance medicine and science curriculum from a total of 37 Korean 4-year dance-affiliated departments. Also, the curriculum proposed by the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS), and the dance medicine and science curriculum of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance were analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. First, as a result of analyzing the dance medicine and science curriculum operated in dance-affiliated departments in the universities of Korea, the courses consisted mainly of applied subjects rather than basic subjects, and practical subjects rather than theoretical subjects. Second, as a result of examining other institutes, the dance medicine and science curriculum was classified into basic stage, extended stage, and applied stage. In order to train dance medicine and science experts to perform various roles not only in the performance industry but also in the wellness and fitness fields, this study proposes a systematic step for the dance medicine and science curriculum; an introductory subject in dance medicine and science that provides a comprehensive understanding of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology (step 1), an applied subject of dance rehabilitation and body conditioning that comprehensively implements theory and practice (step 2), and an expanded subject of the develops dance programs based on scientific evidence (step 3).

This study examines the challenges facing regional dance in South Korea by drawing insights from the American arts and dance field. Reframing the issue within the broader context of art, culture, and policy, it shows that the American art field recognizes economic and sociopolitical crises and seeks to transcend traditional discipline-oriented approaches, focusing on community and social values. A central concept explored is creative placemaking, advocating a shift towards place-oriented, community-centered, and value- driven arts and culture. This reevaluation challenges long-standing assumptions and prompts the arts field to prioritize community needs over self- preservation. Though specific initiatives for dance or regional dance in the US may not be found, the dance field's willingness to transcend boundaries, emphasizing community value even at the expense of dance, provides a significant lesson for the revitalization of regional dance in Korea. Survival lies in enhancing community quality of life, necessitating a shift from a dance- centric

The purpose of this study was to explore the more effective content and methods of physical activity courses through investigating the phenomena that emerged in teaching and learning process. Participants in the study were second-year students who participate in physical activity course at the university of education located in the metropolitan area in the first semester of 2023. Five (3 females and 2 males) out of 35 students in the course were selected as participants for this study to collect qualitative data from formal interviews, memory notes, and evaluation results from the final written test and performance ability for motor skills. The constant comparison was used to analyze all coding data (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). The constant comparison using the open, axial, and selective coding is concerned with the inductive generation and suggestion of categories with comparison of all data collected. This study took a couple of steps such as triangulation, member check, prolonged engagement to increase the trustworthiness of data as reliable and valid during the process of data collection and interpretation. The results for this study revealed two primary themes such as ‘limitations for improving motor skills and improving teaching confidence and interest on PE. In terms of the first primary theme, three sub-themes were classified as ‘a lack of motivation’, ‘a low level of fundamental motor skills’, and ‘a limitation of class environment.’ In terms of the second primary theme, two sub-themes such as ‘developing pedagogical knowledge (PK)’ and ‘developing positive perception of physical education.’ In discussion, physical activity courses for pre-service elementary teachers need to provide contents and operate the course through not only practice lectures for developing motor skills but also theoretical lectures for developing PK and their interest in teaching physical education.

This study compares and analyzes the training programs of Korean Taekwondo and Chinese Wushu in the context of how martial arts, martial arts, and martial arts are used in recreation. The research methodology was based on interviews and training plans collected from 23 field instructors with an average of 14 years of experience. The comparison of Korean Taekwondo and Chinese Wushu, which are representative of their respective countries and are considered similar martial arts, revealed the following differences. Firstly, in terms of the objectives and duration of recreational programs, Taekwondo incorporates a dedicated recreational class at least once every two weeks, where recreational content constitutes approximately 85% of the class time. Additionally, other technical practice sessions also include some recreational elements, accounting for approximately 20% of the time. In contrast, Wushu does not have dedicated classes primarily focused on recreational content. Recreational activities are generally incorporated as part of the warm-up in training, constituting approximately 16% of the overall time. However, this may vary depending on the coach. Second, in terms of recreational programs and tools, Taekwondo dojang organized programs using sports games such as soccer, basketball, and baseball and various tools such as jump rope, gym ball, stacks, and new sports, while Chinese Wushu consisted of soccer and softball. The Chinese Wushu program differed from the Korean Taekwondo program in terms of the proportion and type of recreational activities used, as well as the emphasis on skill-based classes due to the traditional nature of the martial art.

The present study aimed to examine how playability attributes in various esports genres affect user satisfaction and loyalty and to investigate the moderating effect of sports involvement on the relationship between playability attributes and user satisfaction. The data (n = 500) of the current study were obtained based on a cross-sectional design targeting esports users in South Korea as the study population. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and measurement invariance test were performed to validate the measurement model. Additionally, a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis and a multigroup SEM were conducted to test the research hypotheses. The results indicated that the mechanical, interactive, intrinsic, and interpersonal playability of esports significantly enhanced user satisfaction, which in turn increases user loyalty. Furthermore, esports involvement was found to moderate the relationship between esports playability and user satisfaction. By investigating these dynamics in the context of esports and user experience, this study contributes to the knowledge in both the esports and the sport consumer behavior literature. The findings of the present study can also offer useful guidelines for practitioners in the esports industry to provide optimal experiences for esports users.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of rotator cuff syndrome and adhesive capsulitis, which are common shoulder diseases, and use them as basic data for the development of prevention and exercise treatment programs. The subjects of the study used data provided by the Health Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) for five years from 2018 to 2022 to investigate major shoulder diseases (adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff syndrome, bicipital tendinitis, calcific tendinitis, impingement syndrome, bursitis of shoulder, other shoulder lesions, shoulder lesions unspecified) in men and women aged 0 to 80 years or older and analyze the prevalence of frequent shoulder diseases. As a result of the study, it was found that rotator cuff syndrome and adhesive capsulitis are multiple shoulder diseases, and the prevalence of both musculoskeletal diseases was higher in people aged 40 to 79 compared to other age groups, and the prevalence was higher in people in their 80s or older compared to the small population. Additionally, the prevalence rate was found to be higher in women compared to men. Finally, the prevalence of multiple shoulder diseases will be analyzed and used as data for exercise methods and program development for prevention and treatment.
