Abstract: This research is motivated by the researcher's interest in seeing the selfie phenomenon and the widespread use of social media that has spread to every level of society, including sports students at Cenderawasih University, Papua. Researchers found that what they display on social media not only displays selfies, but also various forms of expression and the backgrounds they present to the audience. But behind this action, it is inseparable from their various desires and goals to present selfies with various forms of expressions and backgrounds that they want to display. This study aims to analyze the selfie phenomenon in social media among milleneal sports students. This research was analyzed by the theory of Phenomenology by Alfred Schutz. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach, with the type of research into the Phenomenology Study. The results showed that there were three main elements of the selfie phenomenon among sports students at Cenderawasih University, Papua: (1) Obtaining self-satisfaction and entertainment; (2) attracting the attention of others; and (3) Building self-image.

Keywords: Selfies, phenomenon, sports.

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of specific concentric, eccentric and combination training on leg strength. Sixty male students of age ranging between 12 to 14 years, studying in classes VII and VIII (day scholars) were randomly selected from a public school. Three experimental groups (A, B & C) and a control group (D), each consisted of 15 subjects. Group A trained with concentric training, Group B with eccentric training and Group C with combination training during experimental period of 8 weeks. Training was carried out thrice a week. All the groups were tested for leg strength before and after the experimental period for leg strength using standing broad jump. No significant differences were observed among the effectiveness of the said three types of training when compared with one another. All the three experimental treatments given in terms of concentric, eccentric and combination training are significantly effective in improving leg strength. But still the combination training resulted in a better mean gain as compared to other concentric and eccentric training.

ABSTRACT: Background: Motivation to engage in a sport and fully contribute toward team goals has been a basic subject in understanding the ways to success, achievement and sustainability. Motives have been studied long ago, however, the modern way of studying them needs to consider specific areas (Developing countries), level of practice (Amateur or professional), and a specific sport. This study focused on the role of players' participation motives in predicting success and achievements in Rwanda Handball league, a developing league with limited resources.
Method: The study participants were 165 players from 10 teams. The study applied a descriptive design of correlational type. A Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (2SPSS) software version 26.0 served as the basis for data analysis at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The data collection instruments were the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (3PALMS), and team success record sheet.
Results: Most respondents (47.3%) were between 21 and 25 years old, 90.3% not married and 62.4% from academic institutions. Regression revealed significant results F(8,164) = 4.422, p (.000) < a (.05) on the prediction of team success by Sports Participation......

ABSTRACT: Background: In India, about 80% of rural homes use biomass fuel as their cooking and heating energy source. Many women in rural homes use closed kitchen for cooking without exhaust. Biomass fuel contains hundreds of chemical compounds that include particles, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide2.Biomass fuel is one of the most important risk factor for developing airflow limitations and subsequent Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in women of rural area2.COPD is characterized by poorly reversible airflow obstruction secondary to an abnormal host response to noxious environmental stimuli like biomass fuel. COPD is important cause of mortality, it is fourth leading cause of death3.Early detection of airflow limitation is essential to prevent the continuous deterioration of lung function3.The peak flow meter is a simple, easy & portable tool that measures.......
