time and has moved from the application of global leadership models to the development
and implementation specific models and approaches. Both sports and team activities
provide opportunities to the childhood sports to come up with strategies of winning.
Leaders always have specific goal in mind. They come up with policies that will ensure
that the work being done is effective and efficient. This paper looks at the role of sports
as far as the veritable tools for good leadership skill in gained from Childhood education
in Nigeria in context. There is a detailed introduction of the concept of sports and how it
significantly plays a role in developing leadership skills. It went on to have an overview
of a series of processes which a leader in sport has to design and realized. The necessity
of leadership presence (guidance) in sport can be found in the dynamic polyvalent and
multidisciplinary development of contemporary human society, with the added note that
management is more closely related to efficiency, and leadership with effectiveness and
change, when introduced into the childhood education curriculum. And some

Abstract The preschool age represents a critical period of rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial development in children. The
quality and intensity of the care, nutrition, and stimulation that children receive during this time largely determine the
level of physical and cognitive development they can achieve. This paper examines the potential challenges and learning
opportunities that self-directed learning environments offer teachers from the perspective of teaching safety education
in early childhood education. The challenges facing the early childhood education sector in the country today are the
lack of educational facilities in schools, the lack of a structured curriculum, inadequate funding and the quality of teacher
training and qualifications. This white paper addresses these challenges. Suggestions have been made to address these
issues.

Abstract Technology has influenced teaching, yet we know little about physical educators’
predispositions and use in Universal Basic Education (UBE). One of the goals for integrating
information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching physical education is to enhance
teaching and learning practices, thereby improving the quality of education at this level.
However, in most developing countries like Nigeria, the potential of ICT to support pedagogy
is yet to be fully realized. Up until now, most of the attention, both in policy and research, has
been on how the lack of infrastructure and access to technology affect the use of ICT in
Universal Basic Education (UBE). So this paper x-rays: how ICT in physical education is designed
as a tool for increasing instructional effectiveness in UBE, the impact of ICT use on classroom
teaching and learning in UBE, and the path towards effective implementation of ICT in Universal
Basic Education. Recommendations were made to effect the appropriate use of information
and communication technology in teaching physical education in the universal basic education
programme.

Abstract ABSTRACT
Sports play a crucial role in the holistic development of youth in the Sub-West African region, but there are numerous challenges that hinder their effective use. Infrastructure deficits, limited access to training grounds, and inadequate funding for sports programmes and infrastructure are some of the main obstacles. Cultural norms and gender disparities also pose significant challenges, particularly affecting girls' access to sports and creating an imbalance between male and female youth opportunities. Additionally, a lack of awareness and education about the holistic advantages of sports further hinders its integration into mainstream youth development agendas. However, there are several prospects for transformative change, including investment in infrastructure development, targeted funding from governments, NGOs, and corporate entities, gender-inclusive policies and programmes, community engagement strategies, and technological advancements. Gender-inclusive policies and programmes, coupled with community engagement strategies, can promote equal opportunities for girls and boys in sports. Awareness campaigns and educational programmes can help dispel misconceptions and promote the benefits of sports in youth development. Technological advancements, such as online coaching resources, virtual training modules, and mobile applications, can reach a wider youth demographic, even in remote areas. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including government bodies, non-profit organisations, educational institutions, sports federations, and private sector entities, are essential in addressing these challenges and capitalising on the identified prospects. A cohesive approach that integrates policy reforms, sustainable funding mechanisms, community involvement, and robust educational initiatives can unlock the transformative power of sports in fostering holistic youth development across the Sub-West African region.

Abstract The study explores the impact of the teacher’s role as a "map finder" on fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills in human kinetics and sports science education in the 21st century. It further examines how the integration of advanced teaching technologies moderates the effectiveness of this approach in promoting global competencies. Utilizing a descriptive survey design, data was collected from 100 students through a structured questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests, were employed to evaluate the hypotheses. Findings revealed that teachers acting as "map finders" significantly enhance students’ critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, as evidenced by high mean scores for statements related to understanding complex concepts (M=2.63, SD=0.36440) and exploring multiple solutions (M=2.55, SD=0.32454). The integration of advanced technologies, such as virtual reality and AI, was found to improve teachers’ effectiveness in fostering global competencies, including collaboration and adaptability (M=3.10, SD=0.79523). However, responses highlighted some variability, particularly in the use of specific tools like performance analysis technologies. Chi-square results (?²=23.876, p<0.05) confirmed the significant influence of the "map finder" role on student outcomes and the positive moderating effect of technology. The study concludes that the "map finder" teaching approach, coupled with innovative tools, is crucial for equipping students with critical skills required in a dynamic, globalized world. Recommendations include enhancing teacher training programs, investing in advanced technologies, standardizing their use, and revising curricula to emphasize global competencies.

Abstract The study aimed to examine the impact of a daily 45-minute physical road walking regimen on the blood pressure and blood sugar levels of 100 lecturers at the University of Delta. The study involved 100 lecturers divided into two groups: an experimental group engaged in daily 45-minute road walking and a control group maintaining their regular routines. The experimental group was exposed to a structured road walking program, while the control group continued their usual activities without any prescribed exercise regimen. Statistical analyses showed a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels in the experimental group compared to the control group. Additionally, the experimental group showed a notable decrease in fasting blood sugar levels and HbA1c levels compared to baseline measures. Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests and ANOVA, were conducted to evaluate changes within and between groups. Results indicated a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05).The findings suggest that implementing a daily 45-minute physical road walking routine among lecturers positively contributes to their cardiovascular health and glycemic control. The study emphasizes the potential benefits of incorporating moderate-intensity physical activity into daily routines, particularly in professions with sedentary work environments. The study advocates for the integration of exercise interventions into academic professionals' lifestyles to promote their overall health and well-being. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer intervention periods could provide deeper insights into the sustained benefits of physical activity in similar occupational settings when undertaken.

Abstract Enhancing human kinetics and sports science education through interactive virtual laboratories offers Nigerian universities a cost-effective way to overcome challenges like outdated infrastructure. This approach enables students to conduct experiments, analyze movement, and simulate real-world sports scenarios in a digital environment. By integrating virtual labs into human kinetics and epidemiology studies, students can master complex concepts, foster innovation, and apply knowledge practically. These technologies also encourage collaboration between students and teachers, promoting active learning. However, challenges such as the digital divide and the need for teacher training must be addressed. This paper outlines the educational, technical, and infrastructural requirements for successful implementation, drawing on global evidence where virtual labs have enhanced learning outcomes. Adopting virtual laboratories will not only improve academic performance but also position Nigerian universities as leaders in sports education reform, equipping graduates with a competitive edge in the global landscape.

Abstract The prevention of injuries is the most important component of sporting
development, in particular Nigeria, where the rapid growth of athletics, football
and other competitive sports requirements requires advanced strategies to
increase the efficiency of athletes and sustainability. The integration of genomic
data into the sports sciences presents a new approach to reduce the risk of
injury, using genetic ideas to adapt training patterns, optimize the restoration
and identification of predisposition to injuries associated with sports. This
article examines how genomic data can be included in the context of Nigeria's
sporting development as a prevention strategy. The genetic markers associated
with the strength of tendons and ligaments, muscle composition and
inflammatory reactions provide valuable information for the development of
personalized training programs. By identifying athletes with genetic
predisposition to injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (LCA), stress
fractures, and muscle strain lacerations, coaches and sports scientists develop
targeted interventions. It can reduce the injury rate. Furthermore, genomic
information enables personalization of nutrition, physical therapy and
