Item Multidimensional role(s) of sports in community development in Nigeria(John Archers (Publishers) Ltd, 2021) Adisa, O.; Ifeta, O.; Adegbesan, O. AItem Preparedness and containment of Ebola virus during football competitions in the southwestern, Nigeria(Department of Physical and Health Education, University of Maiduguri, Nigeria, 2018) Adlsa O.; Ayeni, A.A.; Oyedlran B. A.Objective: The Ebola virus disease, formerly called the Ebola haemorrhagic fever, was first identified in rural Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1976, where it killed 280 people. The disease had mostly been confined to relatively small outbreaks in rural settings, until the 2014 outbreak, which hit urban areas in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Today, the African countries affected by the outbreak of Ebola in 2014 have been able to curtail it and have even come out strong out of its devastating effect. However, this disease has a tricky way of sneaking back, as it has demonstrated in the time past. So to what extent is our stadium equipped to screen, detect, prevent and contain Ebola spread during football competitions. This has been the major focus of this research Methods: Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. It was correlational type which explores the relationships that exists among variables on which predictions are made based on the relationships. A total of 75 (Seventy five) respondents were selected from among the Sport medical personnel, coaches, athletes, sport managers/administrators and sport journalist from each stadium to make a total of 150 (one hundred and fifty) respondents. A self-developed questionnaire which has reliability coefficient of 0.87 was used to collect data while the data were analysed using inferential statistics of chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Results: The findings of the study reveal that the selected stadia lack surveillance and detection capabilities for Ebola and other infectious diseases. It was also discovered that many personnel working in and around the stadia, athletes and spectators lack adequate knowledge about Ebola. The health facilities in around the complex too did not have functional diagnostic and containment capabilities for Ebola. Conclusions: It was concluded among others that adequate laboratory service and active surveillance capacity for Ebola detection during football competition should always be made available by the authority concern.Item Negativity of muscle drain in African sport development(2014) Adisa O.Item Underdevelopment of sport in Nigeria: A need for physical education curriculum diversification(2010) Adisa O.This paper focuses on the need for physical education curriculum diversification in order to achieve sustainable sport development in Nigeria. It compares level of sport development in Nigeria with other countries with the aim of bringing to limelight the reason why there is disparity. The paper also considered need for physical education curriculum diversification having compare physical education curriculum across many countries. It was concluded in the paper that education is a dynamic phenomenon that must recognize the changes in the environment and respond to the growing demands and challenges. Physical education is a large system and it is almost impossible to predict its behaviour over far too distant future since the system parameters show a high rate of change. In today's scenario, the sport business is changing so rapidly that other sport disciplines are fast appearing on the surface. Mobility of sport professionals across the national boundaries has changed the demand - supply perspective and this may eventually force the educational planners to take a global view. Physical education programs in Nigerian higher institutions are based in the school of education. This practice has dwarfed the scope of these programs and has made them unpopular. Because Nigerian teachers are so poorly paid, most young people do not choose teaching as a profession. Physical education programs, particularly teachers of physical education and recreation, sport coaches, administrators, technologists, journalists, trainers and consultants must receive proper training. An urgent need exists to develop programs outside the colleges of education that meet the needs of physical education students who do not want to become teachersItem Knowledge and abuse of psychoactive substances among commercial drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(Nigerian School Health Association (NSHA), 2018-06) Amao, O. Z. K.; Odelola, J. O.This study examined knowledge and abuse of psychoactive substances among commercial drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was used for this study. One hundred commercial drivers were sampled from commercial motor parks in Ibadan. The instrument used for the study was a self-developed questionnaire which was appropriately validated by experts and cronbach alpha was used to establish the reliability. Two research questions were raised to guide the study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. Results showed that commercial drivers in Ibadan do not have knowledge of psychoactive substance and they indulge in abuse of psychoactive substances. It was therefore recommended that drug education with greater emphasis on negative effects of psychoactive substances should be organized regularly for commercial drivers in Ibadan metropolis.Item Capacity building and material resources as determinants of practitioners’ effectiveness in delivering health education for poverty alleviation and sustainable development in Oyo State Knowledge and abuse of psychoactive substances among commercial drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(2018-06) Odelola, J. O.The study investigated capacity- building and material resources as determinants of practitioners' effectiveness in delivering health education for poverty> alleviation and sustainable development in Oyo state rural communities. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The study sampled 244 community health practitioners from fifteen local government areas of Oyo State in South Western Nigeria. Data were collected through questionnaire. Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The finding showed a significant joint effect of variables of capacity building (collaborative learning, knowledge management and technological support) and material resources equipment, facilities and fund) on practitioners' effectiveness in delivering health education (F(6.237= 17.732; P<0.05). It was concluded that effectiveness of community health practitioners in delivering health education is a function of technical exposure, motivation and provision of necessary materials. It was recommended that community health practitioners should be equipped with knowledge and skills through regular attendance of conferences, symposia, and seminars. Also, they should be given necessary motivation and materials with which to be effective in delivering health education.Item Impact of health education on awareness of sedentary lifestyle as predisposing factor to cardiovascular diseases among secondary school principals in zone 4, Nigeria(2018) Akinwusi, A. 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. In recent times, cardiovascular disease has led to a significant increase in deaths among administrators in Nigeria. 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.
