The epidemiology of obesity among children and young people has become a source of concern regarding the future adult generation and professionals in physical education, leisure activities and health play a key role in formulating strategies addressed this problem through a holistic thinking and a multidisciplinary approach.Within the reform of Romanian Higher Education System there are also aimed the standards and curriculum for undergraduate and graduate studies in Physical Education and Sport area, starting from the identification of professional and transversal necessary skills (Barbu et al. 2010).The complex challenges posed by the adaptation of Physical Education to the modern realities must be viewed from multiple perspectives, and especially, in line with global perspectives that reflects successful methods, strategies and procedures worldwide. Pedagogy of Physical Education Global Forum 2010 (GoFPEP 2010) was established and structured to explore ways of rethinking, reform and restore the health and physical education pedagogy and physical education teacher preparation.

The study presents the level of the creative skills manifested in the Physical Education students, 20 from 1st year and 20 from 3rd year undergraduate students. The creative skills were assessed with the "Creative Skills Study Quantified Questionnaire" presented by Ion Moraru in 1998 (page 172). We used as methods: the observation, the bibliographical study, the test, the statistical-mathematical method. The data collected were analyzed separately for the 1st and 3rd year students, and then we compared them. The conclusions we could draw emphasize a better level in the 3rd year students. The 1st year students are 55% grouped in the average skill endowment category with a tendency towards good skill endowment, while only 15% of the 3rd year students are in this category. The 1st year students are 45% grouped in the average skill endowment category (over 114 points), being close to the good skill endowment category (171 points), as for the 3rd year students, 70% of them are in this category. 15% of the 3rd year students are in the good skill endowment stage, with a tendency towards very good skill endowment. The 3rd year students have better creative skills than the 1st year students, as a result of the creative formative process conducted during the professional formation. The hypothesis stating that the creative skills level is better in the 3rd year than the 1st, as a result of the professional formation activity, was confirmed.

Knowing the biorhythms has a strong effect on the individual’s optimal adaptation to the living conditions and the activities involved, a prerequisite for an active and prolonged life. For athletes, knowing the endogenous biorhythms from the physical, emotional and intellectual point of view is necessary in planning training and sporting shape, to what participating in great competitions is concerned. Thus, the purpose of the paper in question is to know the endogenous aspects of performance athletes, aspects that can influence this activity. The premise of this study is that a thorough knowing of the human biorhythms, as well as their applicability can have certain influences on the sporting performance. The total research includes 28 subjects, while the present study partially illustrates the representative situation of 3 subjects that is 12% of the entire researched group. The subjects are 3 students, performance athletes of 22 years old, with athletic achievements in handball, gymnastics and rugby. The performances that comprise the paper’s sample have been gathered not only from the positive phases of the three biorhythmic cycles, but also from the negative ones; nevertheless, the subjects found in the positive stages had a significant advantage than the ones found in the negative periods of the three cycles.

In this research was done on a short presentation of the client's case and his caretaker , based on previously develop interviews. In function of the results was passed to establish occupational needs of the client using a specific occupational therapy assessment model, namely PEO. By applying this model facilitated the identification of issues in occupational performance.

Constipation being today a highly encountered condition, with disagreeable symptoms and important consequences, we need to find the most effective and quick methods of treatment. I tried to identify, among the worldwide used, but not anymore in our country, massage methods, the ones that could be effective in treating constipation, and I concluded that the experimented reflex massage methods (Grossi, Teirich-Leube, Kohlrausch, vertebral reflexology) have proven their effectiveness.

Modern therapeutic approach of obstructive ventilatory disorder includes, apart from primary prophilaxy and pharmacological treatment, the methodology of respiratory recovery. The research group was made up of 10 patients aged between 22- 34 years, tested both in the beginning and in the end using the PEAK FLOW VOLUME apparatus. Following the research performed, we may state that identifying optimum schedule from a kinetic point of view in asthma and obstructive chronic bronhopneumopaty positively influence the symptomatology, which confirms the work hypothesis. Integration in school, family, society of persons suffering from respiratory disorders, especially for persons having asthma is very limited due to expressions very often seen in persons from sick persons’ habitat: “don’t run, don’t jump, don’t do sports, because it’s bad for you”. Thus, I shall try to prove that physical exercise, movement in general, is actually helpful.

Social perceptions of the teaching profession are particularly important. So, the social representations about the teaching profession are present in the prospective teachers’ minds before they begin to teach. These stereotypes can be changed following the contact with the social group members, with the company, during the initial training or the continuous process they are involved in. This study aims at identifying students’ perception on the teaching career. The conclusions present the methods to encourage the students in choosing teaching as a career and represent good points for the DPPD - UNEFS in building a strategy meant to support them and to facilitate their professional integration.

This paper presents a study performed on a number of three subjects with mixed median and cubital nerve paresis, study carried out over a period of 10 months and aiming at underlining the role of the proprioceptive and neuromuscular facilitation techniques, more exactly the repeated contractions and the active relaxation-opposition movement in facilitating the motor response on the level of the paretic muscles. The individualized recovery programme focused on: isometric contractions, analytical active mobilisations of the non-affected segments, Trendelenburg positions, cryotherapy with antialgic decontracting role, massage, manual lymphatic drainage, ultrasounds and ionizations with anti-inflammatory and anti-sclerotic effect, orthotic therapy, application of wet cataplasms with Mg sulphate, passive, auto-passive, active exercise and active exercise with resistance, as well as facilitation techniques. The results achieved confirm the hypotheses formulated, and in conclusion we can state that the facilitation techniques, more exactly the repeated contractions (RC) and the active relaxation-opposition movement (AROM) are the basic methods during the first stage of the recovery of the peripheral motor neuron injuries, since only by using them can we induce the voluntary motor activity, and later increase the muscular strength, which lead to the improvement of the sensorial and the vascular-motor parameters and finally the patient recovers the functionality during the daily activities.

The purpose of this study was to find out the sports students’ motives for participating in table tennis sport course at the Faculty of Sport in Ljubljana. The research aim was to provide findings for better planning of the programs. The subjects of this research were 135 students (70 males & 65 females), who took the course in table tennis at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sport (FS). The questionnaire used in this investigation to assess students’ motivation consisted of 30 items. It was designed by Gill, Gross & Huddleston (1983) and is called “Participation Motivation Questionnaire”. The PMQ was distributed to the subjects at the end of the semester. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, factor analysis and one way ANOVA. To analyse the motivational space the main component method was used and the number of factors was determined after Varimax rotation Method with Kaiser Normalization. The top two motives for choosing table tennis were: “I want to be physically fit” and “I Want to stay in a good shape”. It is interesting that females have the same top two motives as males and that the values are even higher than by males. For the sports students their intrinsic motivation is important and that’s why at the bottom of the results scale there are assertions about extrinsic factors such as: “My parents and friends want me to compete”, “I like to feel important” and “I want to be popular”. The obtained results also indicate students’ preference for a wider variety in table tennis, an increase in the challenge level in physical education classes and an increase in student motivation for participating in table tennis activities with higher demand of physical preparation.
