This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
Download or read book Models based Practice in Physical Education written by Ashley Casey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice. Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term "pedagogical model" over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners’ cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are distinctive and unique to each model. It examines the core principles underpinning the pedagogical models that make up MbP, including pedagogical models as organising centres for program design and as design specifications for developing local programs. The book also explores how a common structure can be applied to analyse pedagogical models at macro, meso and micro levels of discourse. Having created a language through which to talk about pedagogical models and MbP, the book concludes by identifying the conditions - some existing and some aspirational - under which MbP can prosper in reforming physical education. An essential read for academics, doctoral and post-graduate students, and pre-service and in-service teachers, Models-based Practice in Physical Education is a vital point of reference for anyone who is interested in pedagogical models and wants to embrace this potential future of physical education.
Download or read book University Students Perceptions of the Influence of High School Physical Education on Current Levels of Physical Activity written by Jessica Kimball and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine students' perceptions of the influence of high school physical education experiences on current levels of PA. Participants included 464 undergraduate students. Data collection comprised of a questionnaire (n=464) and focus group interviews (n=27). Regression analysis examined the effect of physical education subscales (i.e., student learning, teacher-student interaction, or curriculum) and framework components on current levels of physical activity. Student learning significantly negatively predicted current level of PA, and student learning significantly negatively predicted individual cardiovascular activity for females only. Furthermore, lifetime activities were positively predicted by curriculum for females. Focus group results supported the questionnaire findings. It was concluded that males and females have different needs in physical education, males have been provided instruction in strength training that has enabled them to continue that PA, and instruction for both males and females may increase feelings of competency and engagement in PA.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was (a) to test a hypothesized model of motivation grounded in the Self-Determination Theory within the context of conceptual physical education (CPE), and (b) to explore the strength and directionality of perceived competence for physical activity as a possible mediator for health-related fitness knowledge and actual physical activity behaviors. Participants were 280 high school students who were at the end of a CPE course. Participants completed the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2, the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire, the Perceived Competence Scale, and a Health-Related Fitness Knowledge Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling analysis was used to explore the relationships between the variables of health-related fitness knowledge, perceived competence, motivation, and physical activity. The analysis resulted in a modified model that showed a relationship between perceived competence and physical activity, mediated by introjected and identified regulation. Implications and recommendations for physical education professionals are made.
Download or read book Reconceptualizing Physical Education written by Ang Chen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical education curricula evolved to emphasize physical training, personal hygiene, character development, fitness development, sports competency, and health. These emphases led to different ways to conceptualize the curricula for primary and secondary schools. This book raises a need to re-conceptualize the physical education curriculum and proposes a life-scan perspective for physical education curriculum conceptualization. Reconceptualizing Physical Education proposes a conceptual framework to focus on the life journey of physical activity, which is guided by the monist perspective and a lifelong approach to physical literacy. Section I of the book lays out important theoretical articulation for a two-dimensional framework with the goal of educating the learner to take a lifelong perspective to personal health and physically active lifestyles. Section II presents curriculum frameworks designed for primary schools and secondary schools. In each framework chapter, the details of content and learning tasks are discussed in terms of the two-dimensional functions. Each framework may be used directly for curriculum development. The book is intended for curriculum scholars and researchers in physical education, graduate students in health and physical education curriculum studies, and teachers in physical education and health education. It may also be of interest of researchers and graduate students in kinesiology fields and public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. Research indicates that increasing young people's levels of physical activity yields immediate and long-term health benefits, including weight control and the management of obesity (Raitakari, Porkka, Taimela et al., 1994). This health-related discourse regarding the prevention and treatment of obesity has created a renewed focus on physical education (PE) as a potential agent of change for increasing youth physical activity (NASPE, 2004). Unfortunately, research that has specifically examined the effect of PE curricula on the promotion of extra-curricular youth physical activity participation is lacking and warrants further attention (Shen, McCaughtry & Martin, 2007). Sport Education (SE) is a curriculum model which has been shown to increase student motivation in physical education (Wallhead, Garn & Vidoni, 2014). The Trans-Contextual Model of motivation (TCM) is a multi-theory model of motivation that specifies the processes by which motivation within PE context is transferred into a leisure-time physical activity context (Hagger et al., 2003). The model draws from two prominent theories of motivation; self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) and the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985). The purpose of this study was to use the TCM to examine the effect of SE in physical education on students' motivation to participate in a voluntary extra-curricular lunch recess sport club. Methodology. The study adopted a qualitative multiple case study design (Yin, 2009) using twelve 6th grade students and their teacher from two intact co-educational PE classes. The intervention lasted 10 weeks and was comprised of two consecutive sports-based physical education units (tag rugby and team handball). One class was randomly assigned to be taught using SE, whilst the other class was taught using a traditional skill-based teaching approach. All participants had the opportunity to participate in a twice weekly, voluntary lunch recess sport club which replicated the sports from the curriculum. Data sources for this study included semi-structured individual and focus group interviews as well as observation notes of the twelve students during the physical education curriculum and lunch recess sport club contexts. Strategies used to ensure trustworthiness of the data including constant comparison of different data sources and peer debriefing. Results. Deductive analysis of interviews from the SE intervention revealed that the model was effective in satisfying all three basic psychological needs. Both males and females from the SE group reported the model fostering increased perceptions of competence, autonomy and relatedness. Students from the traditional group, reported development of perceptions of competence, however, themes of autonomy and relatedness satisfaction were not apparent. The male students participated regularly in the lunch recess sport club, yet no females attended. Gender and subjective norm evaluation were powerful influences on participation in the lunch recess sport club context. Females highlighted the need to socialize with female friends at lunch recess and the sport-based activities offered were not viewed as a suitable modality to achieve these social goals. Females also viewed the team sport activities offered as more suitable for males and this attitude dimension seems to have been a contributory factor to their lack of participation. Discussion/Conclusions. These findings provide some support for the recommendation that PE teachers use autonomy-supportive curricular models, such as SE, when presenting sport-based physical activities to students (Hagger et al., 2003). Findings confirm previous research that SE is effective at satisfying many of basic psychological needs (Perlman & Goc Karp, 2010). The transfer of positive motivation to an aligned extra-curricular physical activity context is more complex. These extra-curricular contexts must be designed around activities that are viewed by participants as gender-inclusive and supportive of psychological needs.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public school physical educators have the opportunity to help students understand the importance of engaging in regular physical activity in order to combat America's obesity problem. However, students are often unmotivated to participate in their physical education classes. Providing students with an autonomy supportive environment increases intrinsic motivation. Self-determination theory states that higher levels of intrinsic motivation should lead to an increase in behavior, or higher activity levels in a physical education class.
