National Biomechanics Day: A Novel and Collaborative Recruitment Tool
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v92 n6 p48-56 2021
As student enrollment numbers continue to drop within university Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) programs across the country, the importance of recruiting high school students into the fields of physical education has never been greater. The PETE and exercise science programs at a university in the Pacific Northwest collaborated using National Biomechanics Day as a recruitment tool to promote biomechanics (as a field of study) and highlight both PETE and exercise science degree programs to high school students.
