Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025): USFD Journal of Physical Education Pedagogy and Sports Performance
Volume 1, Issue 1 of the USFD Journal of Physical Education Pedagogy and Sports Performance marks the journal’s inaugural release—an ambitious step forward in redefining the landscape of academic publishing in Physical Education, Sports Science, and Inclusive Fitness Education. This issue features a collection of rigorously reviewed, context-responsive, and practitioner-driven research that speaks to both global academic standards and local pedagogical realities.
Rooted in the Unified System Fitness Design (USFD) framework, the articles in this volume address diverse themes—from volleyball ball control and sprint power validation to instructional manual development and the integration of Southeast Asian cultural practices in skill enhancement. Collectively, these works reflect the journal’s commitment to glocal publication: the intersection of global research excellence and local relevance.
This issue also responds to the growing call for Filipino graduate students and educators to publish their work in refereed journals, as mandated by CHED CMO No. 15, s. 2019. In support of this shift, the journal offers an inclusive platform for disseminating empirical findings, instructional innovations, and methodological contributions.
Whether you are a researcher, educator, coach, or policy advocate, this inaugural issue provides valuable insights and models for evidence-based teaching, inclusive practice, and performance optimization in physical education and sports.
Explore this volume and join us in building a scholarly movement that bridges research, relevance, and regional empowerment.
