Effect of attitudes toward Physical Education on motives to sport practice outside school hours
2016
[Resumen] La literatura especializada destaca la relación entre la participación de los adolescentes en actividades físicas y diversos beneficios físicos y psicosociales. Sin embargo, la actividad física de los adolescentes está por debajo de lo necesario para disfrutar de una buena salud física y psicológica. Existe consenso en que la Educación Física puede ayudar a los adolescentes a implicarse en actividades físicas y promover estilos de vida saludables. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la relación entre las actitudes hacia la Educación Física y los motivos para la práctica deportiva fuera del horario escolar. Han participado 428 alumnos de Educación Secundaria y 1º…
Self-efficacy and enjoyment of physical activity in children: factorial validity of two pictorial scales.
2019
BackgroundSelf-efficacy and enjoyment are two main constructs proposed within many motivational theories in any human endeavor, sport and physical activity included.MethodsThe purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of two pictorial scales measuring self-efficacy and enjoyment levels in a sample of 14,035 Italian schoolchildren (7,075 boys and 6,960 girls, 6- to 7-year-olds). An important feature of the two scales is that they are in a pictorial format in order to prompt a straightforward understanding in children. The whole sample was randomly split in two subsamples according to gender and age and the factor structure of the measures was examined across subsamples.Result…
One-year stability of physical education-centered physical literacy indicators on objectively measured physical activity
2021
One of the central goals of school physical education (PE) is to improve physical literacy in youth to nurture their ability, confidence, and desire to be physically active for life. The aim of this study was to examine the stability of the selected PE-centered physical literacy indicators on school students’ objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). This study was a follow-up study tracking a sample of 450 Finnish children ( M = 11.26[0.32]; nfemales = 194; nmales = 256) across upper elementary school from fifth (T1) to sixth (T2) grade. A set of independent variables (motor competence, health-related fitness, in-class PE MVPA, and PE motivation …

The present study aimed to examine effects of motivational and social cognition constructs on children’s leisure-time physical activity participation alongside constructs representing implicit processes using an extended trans-contextual model. The study adopted a correlational prospective design. Secondary-school students (N = 502) completed self-report measures of perceived autonomy support from physical education (PE) teachers, autonomous motivation in PE and leisure-time contexts, and social cognition constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control), intentions, trait self-control, habits, and past behavior in a leisure-time physical activity context. Five weeks la…
The teacher of physical education in primary textbooks
2019
El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar cómo se representa a la maestra de educación física en los libros de texto de esta área, en la etapa de Educación Primaria. Se realiza un estudio cuantitativo que muestra un número elevado de maestras con respecto al maestro de educación física, principalmente en el primer ciclo de Primaria y otro cualitativo, a través del análisis de contenido, identificando un tratamiento estereotipado en cuanto a las características físicas de la docente, al representar a una maestra eminentemente joven, de raza blanca, delgada, con ropa deportiva y sin discapacidad. Pero a la vez, aparece un tratamiento más abierto y participativo en cuanto al rol representad…
¿Qué representan las portadas de los libros de texto de Educación Física en Primaria?
2018
Resumen. Este estudio analiza la imagen del cuerpo representado en las portadas de los libros de texto de Educación Física vinculado a un tipo de actividad física, para comprobar si se ajustan a las directrices que marca la legislación actual con respecto a los materiales curriculares. El estudio es de tipo empírico, descriptivo y comparativo entre los libros de texto analizados. La muestra estuvo constituida por 12 portadas de dos editoriales, publicadas bajo la Ley Orgánica 8/2013 para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa (LOMCE). La técnica de investigación fue el análisis de contenido a través de la herramienta SAIMEF (Sistema de Análisis de Imágenes en Educación Física). Se realizó un aná…
Adolescents' postural control learning according to the frequency of knowledge of process
2019
Feedback is one of the most influential factors for motor skills learning. Physical Education teachers commonly use verbal cues to provide knowledge of process (KP) when teaching motor skills, but the ideal presentation frequency for KP in adolescents is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the frequency of KP (i.e., 100%, 67%, 0%) on dynamic balance. Thirty adolescents, age 14–15 years, participated in the study. Performance on a stabilometer platform was used to assess dynamic balance. Participants received feedback after each trial (100%), in two out of three trials (67%), or no feedback during 12 30-s trials of practice. Adolescents who received feedback (6…
Finnish interpretations of Creative Physical Education
2016
ABSTRACTWhen physical education (PE) teachers change their programs to incorporate something new, the process always involves some effort at interpretation and adaptation. The perceived benefits must outweigh the labour required to think through the possibilities and to then manage the political and logistical challenges that go hand in hand with achieving change of this magnitude. This paper tells the story of one such change process, which involved the interpretation by a small group of teachers in Finland of a set of pedagogical ideas and practices developed in Australia known as Creative Physical Education. The story involves a range of characters (including the authors) and conveys the…
A Pilot Study on Offensive Success in Soccer Based on Space and Ball Control – Key Performance Indicators and Key to Understand Game Dynamics
2017
Abstract The intention of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) is to map complex system-behaviour to single values for scaling, rating and ranking systems or system components. Very often, however, this mapping only reduces important information about tactical behaviour or playing dynamics without replacing it by useful ones. The presented approach tries to bridge the gap between complex dynamics and numerical indicators in the case of offensive effectiveness in soccer in two steps. First, a model is developed which visualises offensive actions in a process-oriented way by using information units to represent offensive performance – i.e. Key Performance Indicators. Second, this model is organis…
