value and benefits of participating in moderate and vigorous PAs to achieve and develop overall wellness should be provided to university students. Additionally, more initiatives to raise the PA of university students should be made available, such as participation in online physical education classes

Online interventions have become more popular in recent years (due to the growing ubiquity of smartphones and computers) and have the potential to help cancer patients/survivors overcome barriers to in-person interventions, as they can be
Role of Limb and Target Vision in the Online Control of Memory-Guided Reaches
Matthew Heath
This investigation tested the proposal that a “highly accurate” and temporally unstable stored target representation is available to the motor system for the online control of memory-guided reaches. Participants reached to a target that was: (a) visible during the response, (b) extinguished at movement onset, and (c) occluded for 0, 500, 1500 and 2,500 ms in advance of response cueing. Additionally, trials were performed with (i.e., limb visible) and without (i.e., limb occluded) vision of the reaching limb. Results showed that limb occluded trials undershot the target location in each target condition, and were characterized by a primarily offline mode of control. In contrast, limb visible trials showed a consistent level of endpoint accuracy for each target condition and elicited more online reaching corrections than limb occluded trials. It is therefore proposed that a reasonably accurate and temporally stable stored target representation can be combined with vision of the moving limb for the online control of memory-guided reaches.

Public health concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic drove a majority of university instruction from traditional, face-to-face delivery to hybrid and online delivery in early 2020. This likely slowed the spread of the disease and sparked a reexamination of university instruction; however, it may have
Use of Animated Pedagogical Agent in Sport Management Education: Effect on Students’ Situational Interest
Gi-Yong Koo, Sara Shoffner, and Jeeheon Ryu
The purpose of this study was to investigate how an animated pedagogical agent (APA) affected an individual’s level of situational interest (SI) using a case study in online education. Although online learning has become popular, the lack of social cues for students in distance-learning contexts has been suggested as problematic. APA has been conceptualized to support social agency theory between students and learning contents. SI has been considered to activate student’s immediate affective response to engage in an authentic learning context. The study examined the effect of APA in a case study on triggered-SI and maintained-SI to determine the benefits of multimedia-based instruction in online learning. A three-factor model including triggered-SI, maintained-SI-feeling, and maintained-SI-value was tested. Results revealed that the use of APA in a case study more positively stimulated students’ SI specific to triggered-SI and maintained-SI-value. Therefore, the implementation of the APA in a distance education setting could benefit students’ learning and also help educators to more effectively deliver a variety of sport management content areas.
