Time-motion analysis and heart rate telemetry of rock wall and ropes course activities in childrenSwatton, Rodney M. January 1994 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to describe, using time motion analysis and heart rate telemetry, the intensity and movement characteristics in rock wall and ropes course activities. Twenty elementary school children were divided into high and low strength groups based on their performance of a 1 repetition maximal (1 RM) bench press test. Each student was required to complete the rock wall and ropes course circuit which consisted of 12 climbing related segments. Results revealed that the mean heart rate intensity for the entire circuit was 80.6% over a mean duration of 36 minutes 20 seconds. The high strength group had a lower mean heart rate and a shorter duration for the entire circuit. The correlation between predicted V02 max and total duration was moderate (r = $-$0.39), suggesting that aerobic fitness level influenced performance.

Validation of The Physical Activity Interview With Third and Fifth Grade ChildrenSchultes, S. Sloan (Susan Sloan) 05 1900 (has links)
This study investigated the validity of the Physical Activity Interview (PAI) for assessing children's self-reported physical activity. Third and fifth graders wore an accelerometer and were interviewed using the PAI to determine 12-hour recall accuracy for activity expressed as energy expenditure (EE). Caltrac estimates of EE for the 12-hour day (12-HEE) and activity EE were the validation criteria. 12-HEE correlations were significant (p<.001) between Caltrac and PAI for third (r=.79) and fifth grade (r=.80). Caltrac and PAI Total Activity were significant for fifth grade (r=.82, p<.001) but not for third grade (r=.36, p<.021). Analysis of tertiles based on the Caltrac demonstrated that the PAI significantly (p<.002) discriminated between activity levels for fifth graders but not for third. The use of PAI may be age-dependent.

The Relationship Between Urban Middle School Physical Education Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Fitness Testing and Student Performance on Fitness TestsFredrick, Ray Noble January 2019 (has links)
Quality physical education is important to adolescent health and physical well-being. For urban schools, contextual and environmental constraints often make school-based physical education challenging. A good fitness testing program has the potential to promote physical activity and fitness. Attitude theory posits that attitude influences how teachers do their work. The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of urban middle school physical education teachers toward physical fitness tests and their relationship with student performance on fitness tests.
Middle school teachers (N = 124) were recruited from urban school districts on the east and west coasts of the United States. They completed the Physical Education Teacher Attitudes toward Fitness Tests instrument (Keating & Silverman, 2004) whose scores have been validated and also provided demographic information. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for overall teacher attitude and teacher attitude subdomains and correlational statistics to examine the relationship between each component of teacher attitude (overall, affective, and cognitive) and the percentage of students in the Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) on various components of the FITNESSGRAM. Correlations also were examined by various teacher demographic variables and for boys and girls. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the differences in fitness tests performance variables by demographic and profession-related variables.
Teachers’ overall attitudes toward fitness testing were just higher than neutral, signaling positive attitudes. Among the findings, the affective subdomain of teachers’ attitude on the enjoyment of using fitness tests results was found to have a significant positive relationship with the percentage of students in the HFZ for the push-up test. Additional significant positive relationships between the percentage of students in the HFZ on the tests and various components of attitude were also found for girls.
The findings suggest that teachers’ affective attitude may have a relationship with students’ performance on fitness tests and that relationships may be different for boys and girls. The relationships for teachers’ attitude toward enjoyment of using fitness tests results suggests teachers may use them to design activities and lessons that lead students to engage in more physical activity and thus improve their levels of fitness.
