• Implementation of rubric-based performance assessment in university practical physical education: Focusing on team sports

  Teraoka, E., Higashihara, A., Murayama, M., Nagata, N., Fukushi, N., Inami, T., Okuyama, S., Sasaki, R., Shimizu, K.

  　View Summary

  The aim of the present study was to qualitatively analyze the implementation of rubric-based performance assessment within university practical physical education, highlighting its advantages and challenges. In higher education, the need for visible learning outcomes has drawn attention to rubrics as a tool for ensuring transparency and consistency in performance assessment. In particular, the grading of practical physical education has often been subject to individual teacher discretion, raising concerns over the lack of clarity in assessment criteria. On the other hand, rubrics are considered effective for ensuring the quality of learning outcomes by offering a multifaceted assessment of student performance and achievements. This study employed the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product) as a theoretical framework to analyze the responses of both students and teachers to the introduction of rubrics in practical physical education classes. Semi-structured interviews with the authors and focus group interviews with students were conducted at one university, focusing on 3 different forms of practical physical education, and the data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings indicated that rubrics had a key advantage of clarifying grading criteria, enabling students to understand the course objectives better and offering them more opportunities to improve their learning outcomes through selfassessment. Additionally, rubrics served as an effective tool for teachers, allowing them to adjust their teaching in line with the evaluation criteria and provide structured feedback to students. On the other hand, challenges were identified, such as the abstract nature of some of the rubric criteria, which made them difficult for certain students to understand. In particular, assessment of skills such as followership and collaboration was considered complex. Furthermore, instructors reported that they had limited time to offer sufficient feedback during the course, leading to a lack of mutual understanding of the assessment criteria between teachers and students. The present study findings are significant in demonstrating that rubric-based performance assessment can promote active learning and enhance fairness and transparency in the grading process of practical physical education. Future challenges include the need to establish a more robust feedback system to ensure that both instructors and students fully understand and effectively utilize the rubric criteria. Additionally, it is important to create a flexible rubric framework that accommodates diverse learning styles and encourages creativity in student performance.

• The Effect of Prior Creatine Intake for 28 Days on Accelerated Recovery from Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

  Yamaguchi S., Inami T., Ishida H., Morito A., Yamada S., Nagata N., Murayama M.

  Nutrients (Nutrients)  16 ( 6 )  2024

  Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted,  ISSN  20726643

  　View Summary

  Despite the known beneficial effects of creatine in treating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), its effectiveness remains unclear. This study investigates the recovery effect of creatine monohydrate (CrM) on EIMD. Twenty healthy men (21–36 years) were subjected to stratified, randomized, double-blind assignments. The creatine (CRE) and placebo (PLA) groups ingested creatine and crystalline cellulose, respectively, for 28 days. They subsequently performed dumbbell exercises while emphasizing eccentric contraction of the elbow flexors. The EIMD was evaluated before and after exercise. The range of motion was significantly higher in the CRE group than in the PLA group 24 h (h) post exercise. A similar difference was detected in maximum voluntary contraction at 0, 48, 96, and 168 h post exercise (p = 0.017–0.047). The upper arm circumference was significantly lower in the CRE group than in the PLA group at 48, 72, 96, and 168 h post exercise (p = 0.002–0.030). Similar variation was observed in the shear modulus of the biceps brachii muscle at 96 and 168 h post exercise (p = 0.003–0.021) and in muscle fatigue at 0 and 168 h post exercise (p = 0.012–0.032). These findings demonstrate CrM-mediated accelerated recovery from EIMD, suggesting that CrM is an effective supplement for EIMD recovery.

• Bioimpedance analysis for identifying new indicators of exercise-induced muscle damage

  Scientific Reports 14 ( 1 )  2024

  Research paper (scientific journal), Accepted

  　View Summary

  A noninvasive, immediate, and convenient method for assessing muscle tissue status during exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) has not been established. This study was designed to assess and determine parameters suitable for measuring EIMD after eccentric exercise, using multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Thirty-five young male participants performed dumbbell exercises with their left arm, and their BIA parameters were measured at various time points up to 168 h post exercise using a multi-frequency BIA device. At all-time points, intra and extracellular water content was greater in the left arm than in the right arm, whereas the impedance, reactance, resistance, and phase angle were lower in the left arm than in the right arm. Established EIMD indices, such as maximal isometric voluntary contraction, were measured and used in correlational analyses. Only reactance was correlated with biomarkers, indicating muscle damage (r = − 0.56 to − 0.49). Furthermore, reactance was found to correlate well with indirect indicators of EIMD, suggesting that it may be a suitable marker for evaluating EIMD. However, the relationship with the limited evaluation indices employed in this study is constrained. Future studies should investigate the correlation between reactance and direct damage indicators, such as structural damage, observed in biopsies.

• Relationships between Changes in Muscle Shear Modulus, Urinary Titin N- Terminal Fragment, and Maximum Voluntary Contraction Torque after Eccentric Exercise of the Elbow Flexors

  　View Summary

  The study aimed to investigate the relationships between the shear modulus of the biceps brachii (BB) and brachialis muscle (BA) and the total of the two (BB+BA), and urinary titin N-terminal fragment (UTF), maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVC), and other indirect markers. Fifteen healthy men performed five sets of 10 eccentric contractions using a dumbbell corresponding to 50% of MVC at 90° measured at baseline. The elbow joint of the left arm was extended from 90° to 180° (180° = full extension) in 5 s in the exercise, and was returned with support from the examiner to prevent concentric contraction. Shear modulus of BB and BA were measured by ultrasound shear wave elastography, and UTF, MVC, and range of motion of the elbow joint (ROM) were recorded before; immediately after; and 1, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 168 h after the exercise. After calculating the shear modulus of BB and BA, two values were added (BB+BA). The shear modulus peaked at 48 h, UTF peaked at 96 h, MVC and ROM changed largest at immediately, and muscle soreness peaked at 48 h post-exercise. Significant (p < 0.05) relationships were found between changes in BB shear modulus and BA shear modulus (r = 0.874), BB+BA shear modulus (r = 0.977), UTF (r = 0.681), and MVC (r = -0.538). Significant (p < 0.05) relationships were also observed between changes in BA shear modulus and BB+BA shear modulus (r = 0.957), UTF (r = 0.682), MVC (r = -0.522), and ROM (r = -0.600). Moreover, significant (p < 0.05) relationships were observed between changes in BB+BA shear modulus and UTF (r = 0.703), MVC (r = -0.549), and ROM (r = -0.547). These results indicate that shear modulus of each muscle (i.e., BB and BA) provide more precise information about muscle damage than UTF, MVC and ROM.

  　View Summary

  This research was examined the relationship between the behavioral consistency of pre-performance routine and task performances. The first stage of the study examined the influence on experts. As a result, task behavior was less variable on the consistent preparatory behavior than not consistent behavior. The second stage examined the influences of PPR in the learning stage. Experimental results showed that there was influence on the reproducibility of task behavior.
