Perreault, Melanie; Haibach-Beach, Pamela; Lieberman, Lauren; Foster, Elizabeth – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2020
Introduction: Children with CHARGE syndrome often show delays in balance and motor skills due to multisensory impairments. Research also suggests that children with CHARGE syndrome have fewer opportunities to engage in physical activity. However, little research has examined the relationship among all of these variables. Thus, the purpose of this…

Donovan, Corinne Baron; Mercier, Kevin; Phillips, Sharon R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
The Centers for Disease Control have suggested that physical education plays a role in promoting healthy lifestyles. Prior research suggests a link between attitudes toward physical education and physical activity outside school. The current study provides additional evidence of construct validity through a validation across two instruments…
