Portman, Robert M.; Levy, Andrew R.; Maher, Anthony J.; Fairclough, Stuart J. – Health Education Journal, 2022
Objective: Peer support interventions can be successful in enhancing physical activity (PA) in a variety of health-related contexts. However, the evidence base remains equivocal, and ways to integrate structured peer support within the context of exercise referral schemes (ERSs) remain unexplored. In this regard, few studies consider the…

Reading, Jean M.; LaRose, Jessica Gokee – Journal of American College Health, 2022
The purpose of this study was to examine exercise preferences of college students (CS), and explore potential gender differences to inform interventions. Participants (N = 187, 18-25 years) completed an online survey. Descriptive statistics were conducted to characterize preferences for exercise type and mode of delivery, followed by X[superscript…

Menting, Stein Gerrit Paul; Elferink-Gemser, Marije Titia; Edwards, Andrew Mark; Hettinga, Florentina Johanna – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
Purpose: To study the pacing behavior and performance of novice youth exercisers in a controlled laboratory setting. Method: Ten healthy participants (seven male, three female, 15.8±1.0 years) completed four, 2-km trials on a Velotron cycling ergometer. Visit 1 was a familiarization trial. Visits 2 to 4 involved the following conditions, in…

Anthony Dujmovic-Bracak; Alisa D. Blazek; Emily M. Post; Jacqueline D. Goodway; Carmen B. Swain – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2025
Introduction: Sedentary behaviour among individuals with intellectual disabilities, driven by barriers such as limited access to adapted programs and low self-efficacy, contributes to chronic health conditions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Valemee Visual System (VVS), a novel tool offering visual support and structured exercise…

Tadd Farmer; Michael C. Johnson; Jorin D. Larsen; Lance E. Davidson – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Team-based learning (TBL) is an active learning instructional strategy shown to improve student learning in large-enrollment courses. Although early implementations of TBL proved generally effective in an undergraduate exercise physiology course that delivered an online individual readiness assurance test (iRAT) before class, the instructor…

Sally B. Shepley; Amy D. Spriggs; Mark Samudre; Kai M. O'Neill – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Exercise is necessary for healthy living, yet individuals with intellectual disability (ID) remain strikingly inactive compared with nondisabled peers. To improve this outcome, individuals with ID can exercise independently by self-instructing. Self-instruction is considered a pivotal skill once it generalizes to untrained stimuli. This study used…
