Students' self-determined motivation in physical education and intention to be physically active after graduation : the role of perceived competence …
2014
Purpose: This study examined whether high school students' degree of self-determined motivation in school physical education predicted their intentions to be physically active after graduation, and whether perceived physical competence and physical activity identity mediated this hypothesized cross-sectional relationship. Additionally, the possibility of conditional effects of gender on these associations was considered. Method: A cross sectional study involving 1650 high-school students allowed for the examination of indirect effects using a bias-corrected bootstrapping technique. Results: Results showed that self-determination in PE may positively affect adolescents' intentions to be phys…
El pensamiento del alumnado inactivo sobre sus experiencias negativas en educación física: los discursos del rendimiento, salutismo y masculinidad he…
2019
El propósito de este estudio es el análisis del pensamiento de los estudiantes inactivos sobre sus experiencias negativas en educación física y los discursos sociales asociados a ellas. Siete estudiantes de Bachillerato, cuatro chicos y tres chicas, clasificados como inactivos en una fase de investigación cuantitativa previa, participaron en entrevistas semiestructuradas. Cuatro temas resultaron del análisis temático de las experiencias negativas contadas por el alumnado. El primero mostraba cómo los estudiantes inactivos sufren las consecuencias de unas clases y evaluación orientadas por el profesorado hacia el rendimiento físico, especialmente los chicos obesos y las chicas con baja compe…
Motor competence, perceived physical competence, physical fitness, and physical activity within Finnish children
2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate reciprocal relationships among students’ motor competence (MC) (leaping, throwing, catching, jumping skills), perceived physical competence, health‐related fitness (HRF) (20 m shuttle run, push‐up, abdominal muscles endurance tests) and objectively measured moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Participants included 422 Grade 5 Finnish children (246 girls). Two separate structural equation models investigated paths (a) from MC through both perceived physical competence and HRF to MVPA, and (b) from MVPA through both perceived physical competence and HRF to MC. Model 1 demonstrated an indirect path from MC through HRF to MVPA and a direct…
Identifying childhood movement profiles and tracking physical activity and sedentary time across 1 year
2020
This study identified movement profiles in childhood and tracked longitudinal changes in moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity and sedentary time across identified profiles. A sample consisted of 491 Finnish 5th Grade children (girls 275, boys 216; Mage = 11.27 ± .32). A latent profile analysis strategy was used to identify homogenous movement profiles that included measures of motor competence, perceived competence, and cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness. To examine a one‐year changes in moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity and sedentary time among movement profiles, a mixed between‐within subjects analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc ‐tests was conducted. Results revealed thr…
