Murray, Melissa; Tenenbaum, Gerson – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
Physical activity participation rates in the United States have been in steady decline for the last 25 years, so much so that 60% of youth ages 9-13 years get no physical activity outside of school. This state of inactivity indicates that promoting participation in physical activity at a young age is of importance. For the present study, a…
