Finnish students’ enjoyment and anxiety levels during fitness testing classes
2020
Background: Fitness testing is a commonly applied learning and teaching practice implemented in both secondary and elementary school physical education (PE). Many teachers believe that by using a variety of different tests, they are able to provide students with feedback regarding their fitness status, and furthermore, increase students’ willingness to be physically active later in their lives. However, empirical evidence concerning students’ affective responses during fitness testing classes is limited. Purpose: The primary aim of the study was to investigate whether students’ perceptions of enjoyment and anxiety differed between two different types of fitness testing classes and PE in gen…

Physical Education Teachers’ Perceived Sexual and Physical Violence and Work-related Stress
2020
This study investigated the relationships between sexual (verbal and non-verbal sexual harassment) and physical violence against physical education (PE) teachers and work-related stress. Participants were 175 (females 122, males 53) Finnish PE teachers aged between 27 and 62 years. The findings showed that 1) higher perceived physical violence was positively associated with higher perceived non-verbal sexual harassment and work-related stress; 2) teachers with a sport science degree perceived higher work-related stress mediated by physical violence than other teachers; 3) longer-serving PE teachers reported lower verbal sexual harassment than teachers with less teaching experience; and 4) f…
Physical education teacher educators: A 25-year scoping review of literature
2015
Abstract This paper presents a scoping review of literature on physical education teacher educators (1990–2014). The intent is to map research to date on this population and provide a useful context for the design and conduct of future scholarly inquiry. A total of 96 papers were included in the review. The included articles emerged from 15 countries and 25 journals. While much is known about US physical education teacher educators, there are many knowledge gaps regarding this population in other countries. The conclusions highlight a need for a co-ordinated approach to future research on physical education teacher educators.
Prevalence of relative energy deficiency in sport among well-trained male Norwegian cyclists and long-distance runners
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Introduction Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) links low and reduced energy availability (EA) with negative health and performance consequences, though not well investigated in male endurance athletes. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of RED-S and associated health consequences in well-trained male endurance athletes. Methods Forty-one subjects, cyclists (n=21) and runners (n=20) [age: 40 (31-45) years; BMI: 23.5 (21.4-24.0) kg/m2; body-fat: 14.0% (10.0-16.5%); training volume: 12 (9-16) h/week presented as median + interquartile range] were recruited. Protocol included assessment of bone health, …
Deliberate Play and Preparation Jointly Benefit Motor and Cognitive Development: Mediated and Moderated Effects
2016
In light of the interrelation between motor and cognitive development and the predictive value of the former for the latter, the secular decline observed in motor coordination ability as early as preschool urges identification of interventions that may jointly impact motor and cognitive efficiency. The aim of this study was twofold. It (1) explored the outcomes of enriched physical education, centered on deliberate play and cognitively challenging variability of practice, on motor coordination and cognitive processing; (2) examined whether motor coordination outcomes mediate intervention effects on children’s cognition, while controlling for moderation by lifestyle factors as outdoor play h…

La gestión en educación física. Dos modelos de gestión, el mismo individuo
2020
In the development of this writing, we intend to critically analyze the idea of management in Physical Education and problematize it with the issues of inclusion and inequality. To do this, first there is a brief etymological review of the concept of management, and then we analyze how Physical Education links management to economic and business Sciences. The analysis material used are books, manuals and articles on Physical Education management. From the analysis of this material, the second point of the work arises to explain two management models in Physical Education that we call: individual management and self-management. These models are presented as different and opposite, but in the…
"Se on semmosta arkipäivää" : liikunta esiopetusryhmän kuvaamana ja toteuttamana
2012
Tiivistelmä. Saastamoinen, Anna & Sirniö, Sanna. 2012. ”SE ON SEMMOSTA ARKIPÄIVÄÄ”. Liikunta esiopetusryhmän kuvaamana ja toteuttamana. Varhaiskasvatustieteen pro gradu -tutkielma. Kasvatustieteiden laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. 120 sivua + liitteet. Tämän tutkimuksen lähtökohtana oli liikunnan vankka asema suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa, ja siihen latautuvat positiiviset merkitykset. Yhteiskunnassamme puhutaan nykyään paljon lasten liikunnan vähentymisestä, liikuntamahdollisuuksien muuttumisesta sekä ohjatun liikunnan lisääntymisestä. Liikunta on käsitteenä monimuotoinen, ja sillä on sekä itseisarvoisia että välineellisiä tehtäviä. Esiopetuksessa toteutettavalla liikuntakasvatuksella on merk…
Liikuntatehtäviä kotiläksyinä : koulun ulkopuolella tapahtuva oppiminen opetuksen tukena tyttöjen liikunnassa
2017
Tässä liikuntaläksykokeilussa tutkittiin, miten erilaiset liikunnalliset kotitehtävät, liikuntaläksyt, toteutuivat koululiikunnan osana ja miten oppilaat kokivat liikuntaläksyt sekä oman osallisuutensa niiden tekemisessä. Liikuntaläksykokeilu toteutettiin lukuvuonna 2015–2016 keskisuomalaisessa koulussa 6.–9.-luokan tyttöjen kanssa, yhteensä 117 tyttöä. Liikuntaläksykokeilun päätteeksi tehdyn oppilaskyselyn vastaukset analysoitiin frekvenssien, ristiintaulukoiden (khiin neliötesti) ja keskiarvovertailujen avulla (varianssianalyysi ja t-testi). Kyselylomakkeen avoimet vastaukset järjestettiin luokkaasteittain ja läksytyypeittäin. Oppilaskyselyn vastausten mukaan liikuntaläksyjä tehtiin ahker…
