Smart childhood Obesity CARing solution using IoT potential

Child obesity is the major paediatric public health concern affecting around 224 million school-aged children in the world. Its prevalence has tripled in many European countries since 1980, still increasing in an alarming rate. More than one in three school-aged children in Brazil, Greece and Spain are overweight or are affected by obesity.

Thus, the main goal of OCARIoT (i.e. smart childhood Obesity CARing solution using IoT potential) is to promote the improvement of eating and physical behaviours and the prevention of the obesity onset for children between 9 and 12 years old.

For doing so, OCARIoT develops an Internet of Things (IoT)-based personalised coaching solutions based on a Decision Support System (DSS) guiding children to improve healthy eating and physically active lifestyles. The IoT network will allow observing child activity patterns of daily living, health evolution, physiological and behavioural parameters as well as environmental data. OCARIoT offers an open Dashboard for educators and parents systematically compiling information from various self-reflection tools and IoT sources and an interactive App for children to motivate and encourage children in order to commit them to follow-up their personalised coaching plans.

The workshop will explore first the underlying visions and aims of OCARIoT, second gives an hands- and brains-on experience of the technical solutions of the project, third describes the implementation of OCARIoT in real school settings and finally describes state-of-the-art methods to assess and evaluate physical activities of children and teenagers.

“Mission X: Train Like an Astronaut”, created by NASA, is an international educational challenge that focuses on the physical fitness and nutrition of students by encouraging them to “train like an astronaut”. It is a modern, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to teaching physical education, in which targeted activities are organized with a focus on exercise as a means of improving and promoting a healthy way of living. During the implementation of this program, teams of students from all over the world learn about the principles of healthy eating and sports by competing with each other. At the same time they complete activities and they get enthusiastic about exploring space as well as with their own educational future prospects in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM). In addition, students practice in scientific reasoning and team work by participating in specific assignments, which have the same aims as the analytic teaching programmes and the interdisciplinary unified curriculum framework of compulsory education. The purpose of this workshop is to present the implementation of this project and to promote it to the broader educational and scientific community.

NEW “TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS” FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETITIVE TAEKWONDO IN TRAINING AREAS.
New means are becoming more and more useful in the hands of modern competitive Taekwondo Coaches. The purpose of their use is to maximize the performance of Taekwondo athletes is racing areas, but also to prevent injuries. The technological means used in Taekwondo training spaces, include mainly equipment for the evaluation of athletes’ performance, as well as, wireless telemetry systems and GPS systems (Global Positioning System). In this way, there is a continuous available update for the coaching team, containing recording data related to the training overhead of the athletes, which are later used to create customized training programs for each athlete. In conclusion, the use of new means led Taekwondo training to a more scientific base, compared to the previous decades, contributing to the development of the sport.

CRANIOCEREBRAL INJURIES IN MODERN TAEKWONDO COMPETITION
This section will be covering the following subjects: (a) occurrence of craniocerebral injuries in modern competition Taekwondo; (b) mechanisms that cause cerebral injuries; (c) effects on patient’s health; (d) identification of severity of a cerebral concussion and its immediate treatment; and (e) criteria for returning to athletic activity following one or more cerebral concussions.

SUPPORTING TAEKWONDO ATHLETES IN LABORATORY SETTINGS
There is an otion for techique analysis using high frequency cameras in 2 and 3 dimensions inside and outside the laboratory. We are able to examine and correct the technique of all kicks and give scentific directions to athletes and coaches. There is also the option for recording the motion in three dimensions with 9 opto-electronic cameras.
We can record isometric strength at various angles in the knee joint (90ο -170ο degrees), eccentric force and concentric force in a sitting position and apply a lower limb muscle strengthening program based on eccentric training, which is controlled by both the athlete and the coach watching simultaneously,the computer screen. We can also detect differences in strength between the two limbs as well as, between antagonist muscle groups.
We can record and analyze strength and power during the performance of jumping and kicking and draw conclusions about the athlete’s fitness features that are directly related to his/her performance. Especially for kicking, we can watchin detail the forces applied to the support leg during a kicking on three axes, i.e., shifting the strength of the support foot etc.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LATERAL FRONT KICK (YEOP CHAGI) DURING THE ANNUAL PROGRAMMING
In modern coaching, the improvement of athletes’ technique is recommended to be pursued during the competition movement, in various ways, such as the results of dynamic characteristics. The purpose of this research is to examine the results of the dynamic characteristics of the lateral front kick (Yeop Chagi), to compare the dynamics and efficacy of the technique (Yeop-Chagi) on the electronic chest guard during the annual programming with emphasis on maximizing the performance of high-level athletes. The side kick or Yeop chagi is used to make an attack or a counterattack to win a point

The round table will try to answer the following questions:
a) What abilities and skills should the physical education graduates should have  (major Sport Management, Sport Tourism, and Recreation)?
b) What are the needs of the “sport market” and how the graduates can be more competitive in the job searching ?
c) What are the conclusions of the Erasmus Plus project: Curriculum Building, the Future of Sport Management in Europe?

InALMH Project: Implementation and expected results

The European Network for Active Living and Mental Health (ENALMH) was created as a result of the MENS Project (www.mensproject.eu) as part of the ERASMUS+ program. The main purpose of the Network is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle for people suffering from various mental illnesses through their involvement in sports, and organized physical activity.
In this context, ENALMH has submitted and received the approval of the European Commission to carry out and deliver the InALMH research project. The main objective of this project is to fill the gap between the general policies of Sports and Physical Integration in the broader context of Mental Health, through the active participation of people with mental illness in organized sports and physical activities. through the implementation of upgraded recommendations and directives of the European Commission.

ENalMH Network, its goals, members and actions will be presented in detail. At the same time it will be presented the InALMH Project, its design, the partners of the Program, its methodology, its final goals and the expected results of its implementation.
