Yuhuan Zhang; Lidong Wang; Tian Li; Xiao Ma – SAGE Open, 2024
Previous studies have indicated a positive association between physical activity (PA) and mathematics achievement. The present study explored the association of PA outside school with math interest using longitudinal data from Kaifeng, a medium-sized city in Central China. A two-tier multilevel logistic model was conducted using 2,132 students'…

Powell, Sara M.; Bushman, Barbara A.; Goddard, Stacy E.; Scace, Delaney A.; Klabunde, Ryanne S. – International Journal of Kinesiology in Higher Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic presents many concerns, including stress. Physical activity (PA) can help decrease stress. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stress and PA levels of U.S. adults. Mixed-methods data were collected from adults (N = 464, 73.3% female, 87.5% white) examining levels of stress and…

Benitez, Tanya J.; Dunsiger, Shira; Marquez, Becky; Larsen, Britta; Pekmezi, Dori; Marcus, Bess H. – Health Education & Behavior, 2022
Background: Only 17% of Latinas meet national physical activity (PA) guidelines for both moderate-to-vigorous aerobic and muscle-strengthening PA. Additional health benefits are derived from the combination of aerobic and muscle-strengthening PA (vs. aerobic alone), yet there is paucity in research on muscle-strengthening activity in Latinas. The…

Godbout, Paul; Nadeau, Luc – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2022
One part of becoming physical-activity literate is for students to learn how to monitor and regulate their physical activity practice (PAP). Godbout and Nadeau (2021) have recently put forward a simple, yet useful and novel procedure for helping older students (high school and college) monitor their PAP level. In so doing, the student considers…

Vasilopoulos, Fotini; Jeffrey, Holly; Wu, Yanwen; Dumontheil, Iroise – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
There is evidence that physical activity positively influences cognition and academic outcomes in childhood. This systematic review used a three-level meta-analytic approach, which handles nested effect sizes, to assess the impact of physical activity interventions. Ninety-two randomised control trials in typically developing children (5-12 years…

Ladwig, Matthew A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Overweight and obesity rates continue to rise and appear unlikely to abate. While physical activity (PA) is an important contributor to health and successful weight maintenance, exercise science and health students (ESHS) often endorse negative weight status biases that could undermine PA promotion. This experiential learning activity was intended…
