Yip, Pak Kwan; Cheng, Lee; Cheung, Peggy – European Physical Education Review, 2023
Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach that directs instruction from a group to an individual learning space. This approach can stimulate students' motivation, promote adequate physical activity levels, and reduce sedentary (SED) behaviour. Addressing the literature gap regarding the correlations among these factors in school physical…

Gråstén, Arto; Yli-Piipari, Sami; Huhtiniemi, Mikko; Salin, Kasper; Hakonen, Harto; Jaakkola, Timo – European Physical Education Review, 2021
This study examined basic psychological need satisfactions for competence, autonomy, and social relatedness in physical education (PE) and their contributions to accelerometer-based in-class and total moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) across a one-year follow-up (T1). Participants were 523 students (girls 280, boys 243; mean age =…

Watson, Amanda; Dumuid, Dorothea; Olds, Tim – Health Education & Behavior, 2020
Background: Previous research has examined associations between individual activity behaviors and academic achievement. Yet activity behaviors should be analyzed together because they are codependent parts of the 24-hour day. Aims: This study aims to explore the associations between all daily activity behaviors (sleep, sedentary time, light…

Gråstén, Arto; Watt, Anthony – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
The current article provides an important insight into measurement differences between two commonly used self-reports and accelerometer-determined moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) scores within matched samples across 1 school year. Participants were 998 fifth- through eighth-grade students who completed self-reports and 76 fifth- and…

Sauerwein, Markus; Theis, Désirée; Fischer, Natalie – International Journal for Research on Extended Education, 2016
Research has shown that participation in extracurricular activities has a positive effect on adolescents' social behaviour and academic performance; however, the reciprocal influence of extracurricular activities and leisure on the development of adolescents' academic performance and social behaviour is unclear. In our study, we investigate the…
