Abstract:
The aim of this study was to critically analyze the performance factors between Indian and foreign soccer players. According to the research method, 90 soccer players were selected for this study, 30 of them were from India and 60 soccer players from other foreign countries. All Indian soccer players who had participated only for the national soccer team and who have their own FIFA rankings were only selected for the study. Foreign soccer players who were selected for the study were from different countries and who also have their own FIFA rankings. Four performance factors were considered for this study, namely ball skills, defensive skills, passing abilities and Shooting abilities. Ball skills were measured with the help of ball control and dribbling skills. Defensive skills were measured using players' markings, slide tackles and stand tackles. The passing abilities were measured with the help of crossing pass, short pass and long pass. Shooting abilities were measured with the help of heading, shot power, finishing, long shot, curve shot, free kick assistance, penalties and volley skills. Secondary data has been used for this study. The Student ’t’ test statistics was applied to examine the existence of significant differences between the performance factors of Indian and foreign soccer players. In conclusion, significant differences were observed across all performance factors in respect of foreign soccer players.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between cognitive flexibility and happiness levels of university students who receive sports education. In this study, descriptive (scanning) research model based on quantitative observation has been used. The study group consisted of 374 students who received sports education at Selçuk University and Necmettin Erbakan University in 2021–2022 Academic Year in Turkey and were selected by random sampling method. In the study as a data collection tool Personal Information Form developed by researchers, Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) developed by Martin and Rubin (1995) and adapted into Turkish by Çelikkaleli (2014), Happiness Scale (HS) developed by Demirci and Ekşi (2018) have been used. In the data analysis of the study; independent sample t test, Pearson Correlation test, one-way analysis of variance (Anova) test have been applied. As a result of the research, it has been found that cognitive flexibility levels of university students who received sports education did not have a significant difference according to gender, age of starting sports and family total income status variable. While it has been determined that happiness levels of university students who received sports education were not a significant difference according to the age of starting sports and family total income status variables, it has been determined that there was a significant difference as regards the gender status variable. It has been found that there was a significant weak relationship between the cognitive flexibility and happiness level of university students who received sports education and that there was a significant weak relationship between the gender variable and cognitive flexibility and happiness levels of male and female students.

Abstract:
The ontology of Sports Science is well-defined with its various themes and subjects being studied and presented in various works such as journal articles and textbooks, as well as by being in the curriculum of the various university departments. However, there is much to discover when turning our gaze somewhere else, to Traditions and Great Schools that have been dealing for many centuries with the development of many aspects of what we now call “expertise”. On the spiritual side, the Traditions included in this study extend from Yoga to Taoism and from the various Tantras to Kabbalah. On the artistic side, Schools such as Iwama Aikido, Wing Tsun, and Russian piano School have been considered. Classic Epistemology is also taken into account. Be it out of ignorance or out of hesitance, seldom do we turn our gaze to discover the richness such Traditions have in so many aspects, no less in matters pertaining to Sports Science. This paper is a first effort to map some of the most important findings several such Traditions treasure and keep for their practitioners. The results of this exploration consist of insights about overlooked performance parameters such as breathing, slow practice, visualizations, sleep practices, basics, relaxation and psychotherapy.

Abstract:
It is widely presumed that young who study physical education at one of several universities of physical education (Sarajevo-BIH) could be characterized with proper physique and body composition (BC). Aim of the current study was to analyze the body composition of a male students Physical Education and Sport (PES), University in Sarajevo, by BIA and determine the significance of inter correlation coefficients (ICC). In study the participants consist 38 male students of Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of Sarajevo, the III year of study (Body height = 181.07 ± 6.15 cm; Body weight = 82.41 ± 13.69 kg; BMI = 25.07 ± 3.32 kg/m²). Results of the study showed that the body composition is within the healthy (allowed) values recommended for this population of students (Body Fat = 13.23 kg or 15.28 %; Body Muscle = 65.28 kg or 79.21 %; Body Water = 50.70 %; BMR = 1864.24 kCal and segmental …). ICC showed inverse and significantly high correlation (p = 0.000) between (ICC Fat-Muscle = -0.945), and while direct ICC was achieved (ICC Muscle vs. Water = 0.998; ICC Height vs. Muscle = 0.625; ICC Weight vs. Muscle = 0.919; ICC Weight vs. Water = 0.921; ICC Weight vs. Fat = 0.845). The obtained results of the study defined the appropriate body composition of the students, which is a consequence of their adequate physical activity and well-designed curricula at the home faculty. In parameters of body composition, students of physical education and sports in Sarajevo had good results of body composition in comparison with similar research on the student population of some European countries, which is the result of their somatotype, way of learning, teaching and extracurricular physical activities.
