Stockel, Tino; Weigelt, Matthias; Krug, Jurgen – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate order-of-practice effects for the acquisition of a complex basketball skill in a bilateral transfer paradigm. The task required participants to dribble as fast as possible in slalom-like movements across six javelins and return to the initial position. Fifty-two right-handed school children (M age =…

Chen, Ang; Martin, Robert; Ennis, Catherine D.; Sun, Haichun – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2008
The curriculum may superimpose a content-specific context that mediates motivation (Bong, 2001). This study examined content specificity of the expectancy-value motivation in elementary school physical education. Students' expectancy beliefs and perceived task values from a cardiorespiratory fitness unit, a muscular fitness unit, and a traditional…
