Jason David Stone – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The expanding opportunities to implement sport science frameworks in elite-level basketball environments coincide with the sport's increasing global prominence. Concomitant to these opportunities is the continual growth of the sport technology market (e.g., wearables, force plates) and computational power (e.g., data management tools, coding…

Viet, Nguyen My; Hanh, Nguyen Duc – Higher Education Studies, 2021
Physical exercise is good for health, both physical and morale for every human being, leading to a happy life. Sports training have an important place in schools activities. Higher education institutions usually have good human and facilities resources to support learners to increase physical exercise, athletes train, serve the community, thereby…

Williams, Suzanne E.; Greene, J. Leon; Fry, Andrew; Neuberger, John; Satinsky, Sonya – Physical Educator, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to determine whether university students who participated in conceptually based physical education (CPE) would achieve greater positive improvements in their physical fitness level, compared to students in traditional activity- and skills-based physical education (ASPE). Method: This was a pilot study…

Cohen, Jerome D.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1988
An elective course focusing on exercise physiology and cardiovascular fitness offered at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine consists of weekly lectures and student self-designed fitness programs. Student participation correlates with significantly increased levels of student maximum oxygen consumption, a moderate training effect.…

Boyll, Jeffery R. – 1985
Although positive physiological and psychological changes may occur as a result of exercise, many people do not exercise regularly. Either different methods to ensure exercise adherence must be examined or new ways of acquiring the desired changes must be found. The effectiveness of one alternative method, electronic muscle stimulation, was…

Shephard, Roy J. – Quest, 1995
The process of a 1992 consensus conference that examined relationships among physical activity, fitness, and health variables is described. The conference involved internationally known scientists with relevant expertise. The paper discusses potential sources of physical activity, the benefits of physical activity, the possible harmful effects of…

Dishman, Rod K. – Quest, 1995
Examines the effects of physical activity on depression and anxiety, discussing the scientific strength of studies on physical activity, depression, and anxiety against the standards of science accepted in epidemiology with a focus on the independence, consistency, dose-response gradient, and biological plausibility of the evidence. (Author/SM)

Meier, Klaus V. – Quest, 1994
Discusses the implications for professional practice and society of physical activity and stress, looking at the views of a series of papers that examined the issue of stress and exercise. The article focuses on what is missing in current research on stress and physical activity. (SM)

Iso-Ahola, Seppo E.; St. Clair, Brian – Quest, 2000
Examines motivational foundations of exercise behavior, presenting a theoretical model in which motivation is the proximal precursor of exercise, which is determined by perceived constraints and situational facilitators. The paper explores the role of cognition versus automaticity in exercise behavior and examines habit versus routine, presenting…

Pierce, Edgar F.; And Others – Journal of American College Health, 1992
Entering college students were evaluated for performance on maximal oxygen consumption, body composition, muscle endurance, muscle strength, and joint flexibility tests to determine the relationship of physical activity patterns to fitness levels. Results supported previous research indicating reduced fitness levels in young adults. (SM)

Schumann, Anja; Nigg, Claudio R.; Rossi, Joseph S.; Jordan, Patricia J.; Norman, Gregory J.; Garber, Carol Ewing; Riebe, Deborah; Benisovich, Sonya V. – American Journal of Health Promotion, 2002
Examined whether stages of change of exercise adoption appropriately addressed strenuous, moderate, and mild intensities of physical activity. Secondary analysis of four data sets (adolescents, college students, adults, and seniors) investigated transtheoretical model constructs for exercise adoption. Results supported the construct validity of…

Spirduso, Waneen W.; Asplund, Lesli A. – Quest, 1995
A relationship between physical fitness and cognition has been difficult to document. The paper describes cognition and examines the effects of aging on cognition, the fitness-cognition relationship hypothesis, difficulties in determining the fitness-cognition relationship, and the current status of the relationship. (SM)

Landers, Daniel M. – Quest, 1994
Reviews articles on stress and exercise. After defining stress, the paper analyzes competition as either eustress or distress, provides evidence for Berger's taxonomy of stress and exercise, examines Type A behavior, discusses multidimensional anxiety and stress management, describes the inverted-U hypothesis and task characteristics, and explains…
