A Brave New World, Ai And Meta-Verse: A Guide And Framework For “User” Immersive Learning In A Digital Age, Khalfani Rice

Visions in Leisure and Business

The concept of meta-verse is receiving much attention as an alternative experience to turn learning and living in an alternative universe. With the development of artificial intelligence this is a greater possibility than in previous generations. Immersion has been an experience that has been possible as an experience based upon the nature of an individual’s cognitive and emotional involvement. The new aspect is the ability to be completely separated conscious and involved through the necessary computer-generated universe. This provides new opportunities to develop a lifestyle that has the potential to be a comprehensive learning experience and add a new meaning …

Journal of Sports Medicine and Allied Health Sciences: Official Journal of the Ohio Athletic Trainers Association

Introduction: The use of standardized patient (SP) encounters in athletic training education programs have become more common; however, due to time and space constraints, it is possible that not all athletic training students will be able to participate and some must be observers. The objective of this study was to determine if observers experience similar improvements in student learning outcomes as participants for SP encounters. Methods: A pretest/posttest, non-randomized controlled trial was utilized. Nine athletic training students volunteered to participate in the research study. All participants completed a pretest survey including a knowledge assessment and confidence rating scale, followed by …

Relationship Between Posterior Tibial Artery Blood Flow And Lower Leg Flexibility Among Collegiate Runners, Jeffrey Williams, Megan Battles, Rachel Bowden, Cameron Greene, Arbin Thapaliya, Justin Stanek

Journal of Sports Medicine and Allied Health Sciences: Official Journal of the Ohio Athletic Trainers Association

Purpose: Understanding relationships between blood flow and muscle inflexibility in the lower leg can support improved healthcare competency. Sports medicine practitioners might use the reference ranges and knowledge of relationships among these variables to support effective health screenings among their competitive runners. These variables have been linked in other areas of the body where inflexibility in the pectoralis minor and scalene muscles have been associated with diminished blood flow to the upper limb. No studies, however, have examined the relationship between vascular and mobility characteristics in the lower legs of runners. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine …

Athletic Trainer Emergency Management Skill Assessment Via Low Fidelity Simulation, Jaclyn B. Arduini, Jennifer L. Volberding

Journal of Sports Medicine and Allied Health Sciences: Official Journal of the Ohio Athletic Trainers Association

Introduction: Athletic training education requires the inclusion of emergency management (EM) best practices, however the Board of Certification (BOC) does not mandate any continuing education (CE) past Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC). With EM best practices continuing to change there is potential for a large knowledge gap to develop in practicing athletic trainers (ATs) who do not chose to engage in EM CE. The purpose of this study was to identify knowledge gaps in practicing ATs’ EM skills via low fidelity simulation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an educational laboratory setting involving twenty-two ATs (age 36.7±10.8 years; 13 males, …
