Parrott, James Allen; Zhu, Xihe – Physical Educator, 2013
Stretching before activity has been a customary part of most physical education classes (PE), with static stretching typically the preferred method due to its ease of implementation. Historical and implicit support for its continued use is due in part to the sit-and-reach test and flexibility as one of the components of health-related fitness.…

Santiago, Jose A.; Roper, Emily A.; Disch, James G.; Morales, Julio – Physical Educator, 2013
Research has shown positive relationships between academic achievement and both physical activity and physical fitness. However, none of this research has focused on students from Hispanic backgrounds. Therefore, it is important to investigate the contributions of health-related fitness measures on Hispanic students' academic performance. The…

Williams, Skip M.; McGladrey, Brian W.; Silva, Andrea; Hannon, James C. – Physical Educator, 2013
Fitness for Life classes, in which a primary goal is for students to acquire health-related fitness knowledge, consist of a lecture session and an activity session. Unfortunately, devoting class time to a lecture reduces the time students are engaged in physical activity (PA). A potential solution to helping students develop cognitive skills…

Sheppard, Adam; Rubin, Daniela A.; Sherman, Clay P.; Patterson, Debra L. – Physical Educator, 2012
Currently, there is no standardized course configuration for the administration of the mile run/walk (MRW) test. This study assessed the effect of altering the MRW course configuration on student preference for configurations, student performance during the test, and perception of exertion after the test. Participants completed the MRW test under…

Wilkinson, Carol; Brown, Lanell; Graser, Sue Vincent; Pennington, Todd R. – Physical Educator, 2012
Many adolescent girls are not participating in the recommended levels of physical activity (PA) and are at risk for unhealthy lifestyles (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008). Helping girls understand the importance of PA and giving them positive experiences in physical education classes, including fitness testing, may help to…
