A phenomenology of the bodily experience of interactive flow adds to Csikszentmihalyi's flow theory.

Rink, Judith – Quest, 2007
Historically, physical education "birthed" the discipline areas and was the umbrella term for the studies now included in the term kinesiology. In many places, the relationship between pedagogy and the disciplines grew uneasy with the desire of the field to gain academic respectability. This paper explores the status of the relationship between…

Andrews, David L. – Quest, 2008
This article explicates the "inconvenient truth" that is at the core of the crisis currently facing the field of kinesiology. Namely, the instantiation of an epistemological hierarchy that privileges positivist over postpositivist, quantitative over qualitative, and predictive over interpretive ways of knowing. The discussion outlines…

Weiss, Maureen R. – Quest, 2008
A metaphor of "riding the wave" is used as a means of envisioning the future of sport and exercise psychology given what we know about past and present waves in the field. First, I review the waves of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s to understand critical issues in the field and to evaluate the waves as smooth, choppy, or turbulent today. Second,…

Johns, David P.; Tinning, Richard – Quest, 2006
While there is sufficient evidence to suggest that physical activity is inversely related to lifestyle diseases, researchers are far from being certain that this evidence extends to children. Nevertheless, the school physical education curriculum has been targeted as an institutional agency that could have a significant impact on health during…

Light, Richard; Wallian, Nathalie – Quest, 2008
Interest in constructivism has fueled enthusiasm for the development of games and team-sport pedagogy over the past decade, but individual sports have yet to receive the same attention. In this article we redress this oversight by suggesting that constructivist perspectives on learning can be used to develop student-centered, inquiry-based…

While the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) has outlined a number of learning outcomes for undergraduate biomechanics, there are a number of factors that can influence the curriculum in such courses. These factors create a situation that indeed can influence students and their attitude towards these classes.…

Sage, George H. – Quest, 1984
The current trend in colleges and universities has been to reduce or eliminate physical education programs. Possible reasons for this trend may be due to the identity crisis of the basic instructor program and failure to reorganize from wide-ranging fields of study to narrow disciplinary specialization.

Wrynn, Alison M. – Quest, 2003
How do we remember the past in the discipline of kinesiology? What is the connection between memory and history?

How do we locate our past in a field that has evolved in a number of ways in the past century?…
