NASPE/Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs
Speakers: | Lynn Housner, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV; and Han Chen, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV |
This session will benefit physical educators interested in research on the relationships among fitness, skill, and physical activity for junior high school students. Few studies have assessed these variables to determine if skill and fitness is predictive of levels of patterns of physical activity. The session will share research data and engage the audience in a discussion about how to design PE programs that facilitate children's participation in a physically active lifestyle.
