T.; Odelola, J. O.Skeletal muscles contract to produce body movement Essentially, skeletal muscle activities affect the health of other organs such as heart, adipose tissue, brain. Engaging in physical exercise enhances proper functioning of body organs, thus promoting healthy living. Nigerian secondary school principals are not known to engage in physical exercise, probably due to poor awareness of its importance to their health. Meanwhile, a life of inactivity otherwise called sedentary lifestyle is a risk factor to cardiovascular disease.

Therefore, this study examined impact of Health Education on awareness of sedentary life style as predisposing factor to cardiovascular diseases among secondary school principals in zone 4, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted a single group pre-test-post-test quasi experimental research design. Participants were given Health education on sedentary lifestyle and related diseases as its resultant effect. A split plot analysis of variance (SPANOVA) was employed to find the difference in pre-test-post-test scores of the participants. The result showed that, health education given was effective. The participants’ awareness level increased, thus willing to refrain from sedentary lifestyle and adopt a sporting lifestyle. It was recommended that, the Ministry of Education should mandate school managements to create time during the school hours for principals and members of staff to engage in physical exercises. Also, health education in which disease prevention will feature prominently should form part of the agenda during meetings of school principals.Item Management practices as correlates of information and communication technology use for health education delivery among practitioners in Oyo State Nigeria(The Institut Bilingue Libre Du Togo, 2017-12) Odelola, J.

E.The rapid growth of the digital economy has created various opportunities for individuals, organisations and communities particularly in the Global South. High rates of poverty and wealth inequality plague many of the Global South nations such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, among others which has resulted in notable differences in the digital divide and restricted access to education. Education systems in the Global South often face challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient funding, and a shortage of qualified teachers. The digital economy’s disruptive effect can also be seen in a variety of sectors, including health, family life, financial services and communication networks. These problems require safeguarding individuals’ safety and security in the ever-changing contexts. This paper uses systematic literature and critical analysis to investigate the main significant benefits of an internet-based economy with improved access to information and markets, job prospects, and economic growth. It will then introduce the notion of safety education in a digital economy and its role in equipping individuals to traverse the digital landscape. Safety education can help to reduce the risks posed by digital economy.Item Reading habit and gender as predictors of adult learners’ performance in english language in literacy centers in Oyo state, Nigeria(2024-06) Akinyooye, F. E.; Popoola, D. I.Reading is an effort to understand the writer's message for development on a personal level and professional achievement. As a result, psychologists view it as a complex cognitive process where meanings are constructed from texts. The current study was carried out in literacy centres in Oyo State, Nigeria, to ascertain the associations between adult learners' academic accomplishment in English language, gender, and reading habits. A descriptive survey design was used in the study. The study employed a purposive sampling technique to choose 120 participants from literacy centers located in the city of Ibadan. Data were gathered using the Reading Habits Questionnaire (RHQ) and the English Language Achievement Test (ELAT). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the responses. The empirical findings indicated that reading habit (β = -0.097; t = -0.277; p 0.783 > 0.05) and gender (β = -0.526; t = -1.577; p 0.119 > 0.05) have negative and insignificant relationship with adult learners’ academic performance. The results also indicated reading habit and gender jointly accounted for 0.04% of the total variance in the dependent variable (adult learners’ performance in the English language) among adult learners in literacy centers in Oyo State. Lastly, the findings revealed that age significantly influences adult learners ’ performance in the English language (F3,17 = 2.46; P<0.05). It is implied that adult educators should design these kinds of projects and assignments with reflective thinking in mind, taking into account the importance of reading habits for academic success. In addition, facilitators could collaborate to develop schedules for library instruction to help adult learners develop a reading habit.Item Promoting digital technology for labour leaders training in Nigeria: issues and perspectives(2022-06) Akinyooye, F. E.Labour union leaders are very important to the success of any union activities. The labour leaders are expected to drive their members towards the achievement of the various goals set by the union. These leaders therefore need the necessary leadership skills to enable them lead effectively. Hence, the need for regular training programs to equip them with adequate skills such as. empathy, communication, problem solving, creativity, interpersonal and team work. However, such regular training programmes aimed at equipping, building and enhancing union leaders’ capacity may not be possible due to constraints like time and finance. The break out of COVID-19 which ravaged the whole world has also served as a deterrent to physical training or gathering of people in large numbers. In order to overcome these barriers, there is a call to promote digital industrial training programmes for the labour leaders through the principles of Adult Education. This paper examined the rationale and perspectives for promoting digital industrial training programmes among labour union leaders in Nigeria.Item Principal leadership styles and work climate on performance of public senior secondary schools’ teachers in Ibadan metropolis(2023-09) Akinyooye, F.
