Purpose: The purpose of this article was to systematically review studies that explored associations between specific curricular models, as an essential component of physical education, and to assess how the student outcomes identified in the models aligned with the national standards. Methods: Using the PRISMA guidelines to identify, screen, determine eligibility, and include relevant ones, studies were extracted by a search of six databases using terms related to physical education-specific curricular models and student outcome measures. After screening, 23 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: Students included in these studies ranged from 3rd-12th grade, although the majority of studies used students from 3rd-8th grade. A total of 58 associations between eight physical education curricular models and student outcomes were assessed, with 41 (70.6%) of those associations being beneficial. Student outcomes included measures of physical activity and fitness, psychosocial variables, classroom behavior, and knowledge. Aligning the national standards to these studies revealed that specific standards were underrepresented compared to others. Conclusions: Results of this systematic review suggest that there is some association between curricular models and student outcomes, although results reported for specific student populations, particularly K-2nd grade, were lacking. Furthermore, specific student outcomes related to the national standards were underrepresented compared to others. Researchers should take a standards-based approach when deciding which student outcomes to measure and should further explore the associations between curricular models and student outcomes across grade levels.
