Indeed, adolescents with low BMI scores and high levels of vital capacity, muscular strength, and flexibility showed better well-being, motivation, and enjoyment. However, no association was observed between timed sit-ups and pull-ups and well-being, motivation, and enjoyment. CONCLUSIONS: This study produced preliminary findings on the relationship between PF and Chinese adolescents' perceived well-being, motivation, and enjoyment. To improve the health of adolescents, it is necessary to adopt prospective and experimental research designs for advocating for fitness education in school-based programs in future research.]]> Wed 12 Jul 2023 16:23:53 AEST ]]> The Fit-4-Fun study: promoting physical activity and physical fitness in primary school-aged children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15245 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:59:31 AEST ]]> A cluster-randomized controlled trial of strategies to increase adolescents' physical activity and motivation during physical education lessons: the Motivating Active Learning in Physical Education (MALP) trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15173 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:53:51 AEST ]]> A school-based rope skipping intervention for adolescents in Hong Kong: protocol of a matched-pair cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16762 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:04:57 AEST ]]> Mediators of change following a senior school physical activity intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6808 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:32:33 AEST ]]> Pre-service primary school teachers' experiences of physical education (letter) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24662 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:32:56 AEST ]]> Improving health-related fitness in adolescents: the CrossFit TeensTM randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23939 TM resistance training programme for improving health-related fitness and resistance training skill competency in adolescents. This assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial was conducted in one secondary school in the Hunter Region, Australia, from July to September 2013. Ninety-six (96) students (age = 15.4 (.5) years, 51.5% female) were randomised into intervention (n = 51) or control (n = 45) conditions for 8-weeks (60 min twice per week). Waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), BMI-Z score (primary outcomes), cardiorespiratory fitness (shuttle run test), muscular fitness (standing jump, push-up, handgrip, curl-up test), flexibility (sit and reach) and resistance training skill competency were measured at baseline and immediate post-intervention. Feasibility measures of recruitment, retention, adherence and satisfaction were assessed. Significant group-by-time intervention effects were found for waist circumference [-3.1 cm, P < 0.001], BMI [-1.38 kg · m-2, P < 0.001], BMI-Z [-0.5 z-scores, P < 0.001], sit and reach [+3.0 cm, P < 0.001], standing jump [+0.1 m, P = 0.021] and shuttle run [+10.3 laps, P = 0.019]. Retention rate was 82.3%. All programme sessions were delivered and participants' mean satisfaction scores ranged from 4.2 to 4.6 out of 5. The findings demonstrate that CrossFit TeensTM is a feasible and efficacious programme for improving health-related fitness in adolescents.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:26:55 AEST ]]> On the status and quality of physical education as school subject: an empirical study of classroom and assessment practice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9068 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:31:39 AEST ]]> An investigation of pre-service and primary school teachers' perspectives of PE teaching confidence and PE teacher education https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1531 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:51:20 AEST ]]> Increasing students' physical activity during school physical education: Rationale and protocol for the SELF-FIT cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29918 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:23:06 AEST ]]> Framework for the design and delivery of organized physical activity sessions for children and adolescents: rationale and description of the 'SAAFE' teaching principles https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29895 Wed 06 Nov 2019 12:48:57 AEDT ]]> Kick-Smart Education: promoting academic achievement, fitness and wellbeing in primary school-aged children through martial arts https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51098 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:33:40 AEDT ]]> Self-determined motivation and physical activity in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20821 Wed 04 Sep 2019 11:04:54 AEST ]]> Supporting public health priorities: recommendations for physical education and physical activity promotion in schools https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26815 Wed 04 Sep 2019 10:52:27 AEST ]]> Evaluating the impact of two dialogical feedback methods for improving pre-service teacher's perceived confidence and competence to teach physical education within authentic learning environments https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38159 Wed 04 Aug 2021 18:44:58 AEST ]]> School physical activity intervention effect on adolescents' performance in maths https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36330 Wed 01 Apr 2020 12:47:03 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the effectiveness of using peer-dialogue assessment (PDA) for improving pre-service teachers' perceived confidence and competence to teach physical education https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34565 Tue 30 Aug 2022 14:09:45 AEST ]]> Can a teacher-led RCT improve adolescent girls' physical self-perception and perceived motor competence? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42466 Tue 23 Aug 2022 13:42:17 AEST ]]> Physical education teachers' perceptions about the effectiveness and acceptability of strategies used to increase relevance and choice for students in physical education classes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31734 Tue 16 Oct 2018 12:00:37 AEDT ]]> A Historical Review of Physical Education in China (1949-2020) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45707 Tue 09 Apr 2024 14:26:05 AEST ]]> Development and evaluation of the perceived variety-support in physical education scale (PVSPES) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51186 Thu 24 Aug 2023 14:37:42 AEST ]]> Implementing resistance training in secondary schools: a cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36287 -1. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a school-based intervention focused on resistance training (RT) for adolescents. Methods: The "Resistance Training for Teens" intervention was evaluated using a cluster-randomized, controlled trial with 607 adolescents (50.1% girls; 14.1 T 0.5 yr) from 16 secondary schools. Teachers were trained to deliver the intervention, which included the following: (i) an interactive student seminar; (ii) a structured physical activity program, focused on RT; (iii) lunchtime fitness sessions; and (iv) Web-based smartphone apps. The primary outcome was muscular fitness (MF) and secondary outcomes included body mass index, RT skill competency, flexibility, physical activity, self-efficacy, and motivation. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 6 months (postprogram; primary end point), and 12 months (follow-up). Outcomes were assessed using linear mixed models, with three potential moderators tested using interaction terms (and subgroup analyses where appropriate). Results: For the primary outcome (MF), a group-time effect was observed at 6 months for the upper body (2.0 repetitions; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.8-3.2), but not the lower body (-1.4 cm; 95% CI, -4.7-1.9). At 6 months, there were intervention effects for RT skill competency and self-efficacy, but no other secondary outcomes. Effects for upper body MF and RT skill competency were sustained at 12 months. Despite overall no effect for body mass index, there was a group-time effect at 12 months among students whowere overweight/obese at baseline (-0.55 kg·m-2; 95% CI, -1.01 to -0.08). Conclusions: The school-based RT intervention resulted in immediate and sustained improvements in upper body MF and RT skill competency, demonstrating an effective and scalable approach to delivering RT within secondary schools.]]> Thu 19 Mar 2020 17:51:33 AEDT ]]> Tinkering through transition: on 'doctoring' as an early-career academic in physical education and sport pedagogy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31486 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:45:13 AEDT ]]> Recommendations to improve primary school physical education: classroom teachers' perspective https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6287 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:05 AEDT ]]> Physical education teachers' perspectives and experiences when teaching FMS to early adolescent girls https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30900 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:39 AEDT ]]> The reliability and validity of an authentic motor skill assessment tool for early adolescent girls in an Australian school setting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30897 rs = 0.68, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Both instruments were found to be reliable and valid. However, compared to the Victorian FMS instrument, the CAMSA has the advantage of both process and product assessment, less time needed to administer and higher authenticity, and so may be an attractive alternative to the more traditional forms of FMS assessment, for use with early adolescent girls, in school settings.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:38 AEDT ]]> Measuring up? The discursive construction of student subjectivities in the Global Children's Challenge https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25649 TM, a 50-day pedometer-monitored event, aimed at children and involving their parents and teachers. Our research problematises the effects of the GCC pedometer exercise regime. We demonstrate how the pedometer measurement imperative made available in the GCC not only enables exercise to be measured for potential health benefits but also makes available tools inextricably linked with antagonistic body relations that could propel some students into a self-monitoring world dominated by numbers. We illustrate how the emphasis on measurement allows for comparisons (dividing practices), self-surveillance and surveillance of others in the formation of particular kinds of subjectivities. This study of the discursive construction of student subjectivities in the GCC took place in one strategically chosen Australian primary school. In-depth interviews were conducted with one teacher, four Year-6 students and a parent of each child in order to produce rich contextual data. Foucauldian concepts of power, knowledge and 'technologies of self' underpinned the study and Gore's methodologies for analysing 'techniques of power' and 'regimes of truth' were used to explore the functioning of power and the formation of subjectivities in the GCC. Our analysis suggests a need to move away from the constraining construct of measurement in the primary physical education (PE) classroom and promote self-reflective mindful physical activity rather than telling students when, where and how to move their bodies.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:07 AEDT ]]> A monitoring system to provide feedback on student physical activity during physical education lessons https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36638 Mon 29 Aug 2022 13:38:28 AEST ]]> Physical education and numeracy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32616 Mon 25 Jun 2018 15:45:28 AEST ]]> Games centered approaches in teaching children & adolescents: systematic review of associated student outcomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24011 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:45:07 AEST ]]> Can physical education and physical activity outcomes be developed simultaneously using a game-centered approach? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27494 0.05) were observed for skills outcome during game play (d = -0.2) or student enjoyment (d = 0.1).
