Background: Interest in and debates around meaningful movement and embodiment in physical education (EPE) have grown over the last ten years. The quality of these discussions centre on a degree of conceptual clarity for talking pedagogically about embodiment, and consideration of ways of applying it in practice in meaningful ways. The aim of this…

The multimedia simulation teaching mode introduces students into virtual scenes for learning. Whether it is enhancing students' interest in learning or enhancing their physical fitness, it is a new teaching mode. This article discusses the establishment of a BP neural network model to study the prediction of students' physical fitness and conducts…

This study investigated whether the use of the color wheel system (CWS) during physical education (PE) classes is associated with a significant decrease in disruptive behaviors among middle school students. Using a multiple-baseline single-case design, we investigated the effects of the CWS on disruptive behavior in nine middle school students…

Context: Adopting diverse perspectives is increasingly important for athletic trainers (ATs) to provide care that fosters inclusion for all patients. Despite the NATA's commitment to diversity, NATA membership remains approximately 80% White. Additionally, although ATs work with people from ethnically diverse backgrounds with unique body…

Research and publications on differentiation instruction in various subjects have developed rapidly in the world. Unfortunately, this trend is not directly proportional to the subject of physical education, even though differentiation instruction is the latest learning trend that is based on student learning needs. This research aims to analyze…

The increased focus on preventing obesity in physical education spaces often leads to weight-centric ideology and anti-fat attitudes that subject fat students to weight stigma and can reduce their enjoyment of and engagement in physical activity. To promote lifelong physical activity and health among students, physical educators must reexamine…

Assessment in physical education (PE) is wrought with challenges ranging from time, cost and feasibility to validity, reliability and efficacy. This article describes the throw-catch assessment as just one example that may ease some of the burdens PE teachers face when assessing students' motor competence.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of a Pilates program in the context of the physical education course at school, on aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility of high school students. The voluntary participants were 42 high school students, aged 15 to 17 years, randomly divided into a…

Physical literacy (PL) was initially introduced during the first half of the 20th century in the United States. Since then, it has been gradually gaining in both usage and popularity in many physical education contexts worldwide. However, there has been limited discussion on the practical implication of facilitating PL. Thus, the purpose of this…

There is an extensive international literature on different forms of ability grouping in schools, much of which describes their impact on students' academic achievement, motivation, self-concept and/or attitudes towards learning. Comparatively little research has focused on students' perspectives of these practices, while the research that has…

The purpose of this article is to highlight the benefits of tennis while recognizing its adaptive nature and introducing the resources available through Net Generation.

Widely held traditional policy perspectives within physical education, and the linear and top-down assumptions about policy processes associated with them, arguably limit the perceivable scope of policy engagement possibilities, particularly for front-line policy actors. To illuminate this assertion, we utilised the revelatory incident technique.…

The aim of this article is to present Goubak® as an innovative sport for physical education classes. First, its content is defined, explaining its main exclusive elements (playing field, goal, and ball) and features. Second, it explains how to play a match of Goubak from start to finish, describing the rules that govern this sport.

According to SHAPE America, the goal of physical education "is to develop physically literate individuals." Whitehead suggests that physically literate is a process that can be enriched with the development of the cognitive and affective learning domains through academic conversations. Although common to other content areas, the…

This paper presents a heuristic tool that can be used to analyse and reflect on the inclusion of digital competences in Health and Physical Education Teacher Education (HPETE) programs. The tool is used to identify and compare how HPETE programs in three Southern Hemisphere countries address digital competency as an aspect of learning to teach…
