Smart Vest for Improving Behavioral Performance of School-aged Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral disorder. Patients usually have behavioral problems such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention, which cause learning and social difficulties and obstacles. At present, the prevalence of ADHD among school-age children worldwide is 6%-8%. According to a back-of-the-envelope calculation, Hong Kong would have about 70,000 school-age children suffering from ADHD. This project aims to develop an innovative intelligent perception vest that can effectively identify and treat school-aged children with ADHD from the perspective of behavioral intervention. There is no similar commercial product in the market. The smart vest is composed of a textile vest, a signal acquisition module, an intelligent analysis and perception module, and a feedback module. With the help of machine learning and information fusion technology, the vest can intelligently perceive and analyze the user’s behavioral data, and give a proper feedback to remind the user when there is abnormal behavior. By such doing, the user can carry out the state adjustment and emotional control, so that the behavior level can be maintained within the normal range. This project will also focus on the research and design of the textile materials, fabric structures and styles of the vest to achieve effective integration with related intelligent modules and units, and to achieve the comfort usage properties and the best effect of feedback behavior intervention for users. The behavioral data collected can also be stored and analyzed to provide objective data support for further adjustment of the treatment plan.

Effects of Marathon Participation Experience on Stride-to-stride Variability During Prolonged Running Distance running has become one of the most popular physical activities around the world. However, distance runners, in particular for novice runners, experience a remarkable incidence of running related injuries (RRIs). During running, there always exists small fluctuations between strides. The stride-to-stride variability has been considered a by-product of long-range dynamics, and reflects flexibility and adaptability of the locomotor system to ever-changing internal and external environments during running. Although there are numerous studies that have suggested that there is a connection between stride-to-stride variability and RRIs, the understanding of stride variability during prolonged running is very limited. Experience and progressive fatigue are two common risk factors connected with RRIs. Previous studies have found that stride variability was affected by progressive fatigue during running. However, in those studies, fatigue was induced by running a relative short distance and none of previous studies have yet investigated the effects of fatigue on the stride variability during a full marathon race. Experience in performing a full marathon race provides runners with greater understanding of extreme fatigue that their bodies have never experienced before. This kind of experience may enhance the capacity of runners in response to constraints due to ever-changing internal and external environments. This study aims to investigate the relationships between stride variability at both the execution (i.e. lower-limb coordination variability) and outcome levels (i.e. stride time variability) as a function of running experience during a full marathon race. Based on existing laboratory-based data, it is first hypothesised that the correlation between the stride time variability and lower-limb coordination variability can be replicated in a naturalistic setting. Moreover, it is also expected that stride time and lower-limb coordination variability will fluctuate less (i.e. be less adaptable) during the full marathon race in first-time marathon finishers than in the experienced marathon finishers. The long-term impact of the proposed project stems from the potential association between the stride-to-stride variability during running and RRIs. This correlation would bring about insights into how the stride variability could benefit different groups of running population, and help formulate interventions that are more effective and easier to implement for prevention of RRIs. The findings of the proposed study will serve as reference for understanding the stride-to-stride variability during a prolonged run, provide insights of marathon participation into the stride time variability during a full marathon run, and help predict RRIs.

A Randomised Controlled Trial Study Investigating the Effectiveness of Parent Training on Promoting Physical Activity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are typically less physically active and with lower exercise tolerance due to their limitation in social interaction and communication. They are therefore more prone to chronic diseases in adulthood, which may be avoidable by early intervention. Although exercise training is proven to improve not only physical health but also various behavioural outcomes in school-aged children with ASD, little has been done to study exercise training programmes that caters for their special needs and limitations. Parents play an important role in children’s participation of physical activities. However, parents of children with ASD often find it difficult to encourage their children to take part in physical activities due to lower parenting efficacy. It has been reported that Chinese mothers of children with ASD has high parenting stress, which is associated with negative perception of a child’s disability and low parental confidence. Parent training programs have been reported to have positive effects on children with disabilities and their parents. However, the effectiveness of parent training in an exercise training programme to promote physical activity in children with ASD, specially in the Chinese setting, is not known. Guided by Eccles’s (1998) expectancy-value theory, we propose testing the impact of parental involvement in an exercise training programme specially designed for children with ASD. Children in the experiment group (with parent training) and control group will receive an exercise training program for eight weeks. In the experiment group, parents of the children will be additionally equipped with knowledge of Sport Sciences, Developmental Pediatrics and Developmental Psychology, and will act as an observer and motivator to their child’s physical activity participation during the 8-week training period. They will also serve as the provider of physical activity opportunities to their child during the one-year follow up period, during which parents’ support group and reinforcement sessions will be arranged. Children’s outcomes and parents’ outcomes will be compared between the experiment and control group. The proposed work will provide unique data on the impact of parent involvement in an exercise training programme on physical and psychological well-being in children with ASD, as well as parenting stress and efficacy, with important implications on the health promotion in children of ASD and their families.

Action Research in Physical Education Despite of the fact that Action Research is a useful method for implementing changes through its spiral of plan, act, observe, and reflect for PE Teachers, there is increasing evidence showing the benefits of PE teachers who can reap from university-school collaborative action research. However there is less attention has been given to how university researchers collaborate with PE teachers, what challenges they might encounter, and how they navigate such challenges in Action Research. To fill the gap, this project examines the university teacher educators/ researchers' professional experiences in at least 8 Action Research studies in Hong Kong. Major challenges in Action Research will be explored from the research participants’ experiences. On the other hand, at least 8 local primary or secondary school teachers (4 from primary and secondary respectively) will be purposively invited to conduct the collaborative action research inquiring the philosophies, effectiveness, good practices and areas of improvement of their current practices for cultivating their students based on the themes namely “Nurturing Values and Attitudes through PE” in this project. It not only provides a way for the Department of Health and Physical Education to contribute to the PE teachers’ community, but also provides chances for PE teachers to contribute to academic knowledge. They will also be invited to practice-reference research projects putting on trial innovative PE curricular and pedagogical methods/models and looking for their feasibility and impacts. At least 3 training sessions will be arranged for the teachers involved in the project to develop their skills and knowledge to conduct the research studies. All research studies will be closely supervised by university teacher educators/researchers for enhancing participating teachers’ full understanding of the research process, effectively reflection on their practice, and demonstrating improvement in their work accordingly. The researchers and teachers engaged in continuous negotiation about each other’s needs. The researchers will also help the teachers to develop their reflective abilities and promote the influence of their Action Research. The participating teachers will be advised to conduct a thorough literature review relevant to their research theme. These research projects will undergo at least two action research cycles. The research result with insights on good practices/ learning points with solid evidences will be shared for sharing in the conference or seminar. The sub-theme on each of the studies will be further developed with the school teachers.
