RESEARCH METHOD FOR ARCHITECTURE

PROPOSED "SPACES FOR CHAMPIONS : DESIGNING AN INTEGRATED ATHLETE
ACADEMY THROUGH MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

.CAPINA, ASHLEY M.

Introduction

Researchers (e.g., Blair & Morris, 2009; Taylor & Turek, 2009; Triggemann, 2007)

consistently document positive outcomes from engaging in athletics at all age levels.
Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence improves strength and endurance,
helps build healthy bones and muscles, helps control body weight, reduces anxiety and
stress, increases selfesteem, and may improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels
(U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008).

In order to modernize how men, women, and young people view human performance,
Sports Academy has developed a multi-platform environment that engages, teaches, and
gives people the chance to reach their full potential. We offer human performance training
that is efficient, secure, and open, helping athletes reach their full potential. In order to
serve youth, amateur, and elite athletes with a full-circle strategy that combines body,
performance, and cognitive training, the Academy recruits a variety of experts.

Sports leaders should scout and train their athletes early so they can develop and flourish
in international competitions such as the Southeast Asian Games, according to Philippine
Sports Commission

Numerous social skills that kids will require throughout their lives are developed through
team sports. They learn to cooperate, be less egotistical, and pay attention to other kids
through this activity. Furthermore, it fosters a sense of community in kids. Physical activity
has been demonstrated to boost brain chemicals (sometimes referred to as
neurotransmitters) that make you feel better, which enables them to meet new friends
and expand their social network outside of school. The overall emotional health of kids is
improved by regular physical participation.

According to research, children's self-esteem and participation in sports are related.

Children can get confidence from a variety of sources, including the team's support, a
coach's encouraging words, and accomplishing their personal best.
Background of the study

Sport adds value to all curriculum areas by demanding critical thinking abilities, decision
making, and moral reasoning. Sport in the school setting, particularly through team
activities, creates a social network for pupils based on mutual interests outside of the
classroom. Sport offers another avenue for reaching one's full potential. Sport also
provides opportunities for young people to assume leadership positions and
responsibilities. The benefits of school-based sports engagement in terms of physical
fitness, health benefits, cognitive development, personal well-being, and social
integration have been widely reported. Sport involvement in the education sector is so
tightly associated with PE, school sport, and other in-school physical activity options that
the reported advantages are frequently attributed to multiple sources. The school
environment can make a significant contribution to a child's daily physical activity through
sport and PE.

The Sports Academy is a talent development system that will assist you in becoming the
finest athlete possible in your chosen sport. This fantastic opportunity to stay engaged to
your sporting life has cemented our reputation as the number one college in the area for
sports development. The academy is tasked with implementing a high-quality secondary
education program that is blended with a sports-specific curriculum. Physical education
would start in just about 1820 when schools focused on gymnastics ,and hygiene training.

This covers the country's colonial history, when Americans popularized athletics as a
method of physical fitness, recreation, and entertainment. Filipino athletes on the
international scene have motivated young people to pursue sports careers and attain
personal and national glory. Filipinos have excelled in sports such as boxing and
swimming, and the country even has its own martial style known as Escrima or Kali.

The purpose of this study is to examine existing research on how school infrastructure
influences children's learning results and to identify crucial criteria .It can be used to
inform future design, implementation, and supervision educational infrastructure
initiatives. At the same time, the purpose of this paper is to identify places where the
evidence is currently weaker and where the potential for the subsequent exploratory work.
School infrastructure accounts for a significant portion of the World Bank's education
investment initiatives. The World Development Report 2018 of the World Bank is named

governmental resources in providing the greatest educational benefits to all children.

Significance of the study

"The purpose of this research is to determine how building design might help Multi-
functional Sports School Academy design aims at implementing different functions within
a single structure and offers potentials such as weight and cost reduction as well as a
reduced installation space. This performance was assessed using a combination of social
and functional criteria, including user views of comfort and satisfaction with their athletic
environment, environmental monitoring, direct observation of various architectural
aspects, and user assessments of comfort and contentment

Scope and Delimitation

The study's focus will be on designing School and incorporating Multi Disciplinary
environments into facility planning and design. It will also look at new architectural
designs, space planning, and the behavioral circulation of student and teachers..

Statement of the Problem

The current state of Philippine schools does not support the desire and love that Filipino
pupils already have for sports. Students who are interested in sports careers are further
deterred from doing so by the lack of good sports facilities. These issues prevent Filipino
students from using their sporting abilities and desire to improve their academic
performance. They are unable to benefit from the potential lifelong virtues that sports
could impart to their overall development. The Philippines' national progress,
international renown, and level of sporting prowess fall at the same time.

Since sports facilities have been so blatantly neglected and poorly managed, we see them
in practically every city in the Philippines. Lack of resources and full ignorance of
standards are the most frequent problems. In recent years, the Philippines has
consistently been excluded from the region's major sporting events, mostly due to a lack
of sports facilities that adhere to strict international requirements. The nation was the
indisputable epicenter of sports in the area some decades ago. not now. In terms of
sporting facilities, smaller ASEAN countries like Singapore and Vietnam have surpassed
us. The success of national athletes in international events has been impacted by a lack
of standardized sports facilities. To ensure that they can train in a suitable setting, we
must send our athletes to train abroad. However, doing so comes at a high expense, and
there isn't even a large guarantee that it would help them perform better or achieve their
objectives during actual play.

The problems/issues that needs to be solved are as follows

1. Design, organization and arrangement of spaces within the sports school academy
contribute to the development of sports excellence and encourage sports participation of
Filipinos.

2. Through an inventive building design that will honor the sporting prowess of the country
and transform the nation's architectural legacy, architecture will become an emblem of
sport.

Research Methodology

The range of architectural options and technologies used in today's Sports Facilities and
School constructions is outstanding. Due to the difficulty of the task, conducting an in-
depth analysis of the technological innovations utilized in these structures calls for a
special technique. Thus, the following components of a research methodology were
created:

Gathering information on the most recent technologies utilized in Sports Facilities and
school structures today and compiling images and documentation;

• An analysis of the collected data based on the literature, addressing the problem of
advanced technology used in finished constructions generally.

• Using technology that was significantly more advanced than that employed in earlier
projects, conducting architectural studies of selected Sports School Academy and
Facilities buildings in line with the building code.

Literature Review

The impact of competitive school sport on students’ performance in the sports they play
competitively and for developing future careers as elite athletes:

grow as athletes future as a competitive athlete Academic institutions began utilizing
competitive sport as a way of preparation more than 150 years ago boys in particular, for
the rigors of life (Sage et al., 1998). Since then, its usage has evolved into more prevalent,
and all schools now provide some sort of competitive sport as a component of their
curriculum.

There was a shift away from the direct "competitive" element of sport in the 1980s, notably
at primary level since it was deemed to be too harmful to the less capable kids (Green et
al., 2004). the previous years. As educators and parents recognize the benefits that
competitive sport may have for students, this trend has reversed fostering resilience in
children when they experience the emotions of victory and defeat in a game the presence
of peers.

The quality of school buildings is very important in creating an appropriate, attractive and
welcoming environment for teaching and learning. Greater community use of school
facilities can result in cost savings in terms of facility maintenance, repair, and upgrade,
allowing these tasks to be completed in a more timely and effective manner. The example
of England is noteworthy. Sport England reported in 2016 that about two-thirds (62%) of
school sports facilities are available for some sort of community usage, and 39% of
sporting facilities overall are on school grounds.

The presentation of competitive sport in schools has begun to shift during the past 20
years from the school's reputation is dependent on the somewhat traditional "first XI"
strategy, to a steady change in favor of employing competitive school athletics to boost
participation.
