Complexity and the reframing of the school curriculum
This second paper in our series exploring how complexity thinking can help to reframe school physical education (PE) introduces ‘Physical Education is for Life’ (PEL): an innovative vision for school PE as the ‘connective catalyst’ for the life-wide and lifelong physical activity journeys of all young people. To set the case for PEL, we first consider how the school PE curriculum has evolved from its physical training beginnings to become a ‘wick…
The influence of physical education on the use of healthy lifestyle technologies
Background In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the integration of traditional digital media and/or healthy lifestyle technologies (HLT) into physical education/health and physical education (PE/HPE) to support teachers’ teaching and students’ learning. However, little attention has been paid to how digital PE experiences influence young people’s physical activity (PA) participation and health learning beyond formal education set…
Students’ experiences of fitness testing in secondary school physical education in England
The role of healthy lifestyle technologies in supporting young adults’ healthy active lifestyles
Young people are increasingly using healthy lifestyle technologies (HLT) to support their healthy active lifestyles, yet little is known about how they use their digital skills and/or health knowledge to regulate their healthy behaviours and engage with HLT critically. Moreover, there is a dearth of literature on young adults’ perspectives and experiences of HLT use in this regard. This is noteworthy as this age group is more likely to use HLT to…
‘Now we have gym, now we have to perform’
Assessment has become a routine feature of school life, internationally. Little is known, however, about the consequences for young people of assessment and grading in physical education (PE) – a subject often associated with physical recreation. This paper explores young Norwegian’s perceptions of assessment and grading in PE from a sociological perspective. In doing so, it contemplates the penetration of neo-liberal discourses as part of wider …
Physical Education
Whilst recognising and advocating for the role and importance of schools and whole school approaches to the promotion of physical activity in schools, this paper argues that physical education (PE) should be at the centre of and driving schools' efforts to promote physical activity. Various reasons are given for this, with these broadly centring on the unique goal, nature, and responsibilities of the subject with respect to promoting physically a…
Instead of Being on a Screen You Can Be More Out There and Enjoy Your Life”
It was suggested the findings could be partly attributed to limitations in students' learning and experiences with respect to physical activity and health in the PE curriculum
The if , why and how of fitness testing in secondary school physical education in the United Kingdom
Historically fitness testing has been identified as a common but controversial physical education (PE)-for-health practice across the globe. Despite this, little is known about the current prevalence and implementation of fitness testing. This paper therefore reports on findings from a survey which gathered both quantitative and qualitative data to explore the ‘if?’, ‘why?’ and ‘how?’ of fitness testing and provide new insights into teachers’ lea…
Not to judge by the looks but you can tell by the looks!’ Physical capital as symbolic capital in the individualization of health among young Norwegians
In this paper we explore how 15–16-year-old Norwegians experience social and cultural norms that shape their relationship with health and physical activity (PA) in a country where participation in PA is normative, in the sense that it is not only a widely shared practice but, in having significant cultural traction, is commonly understood as a ‘normal’ part of Norwegian daily life. The study draws upon qualitative data generated from 31 focus gro…
Exploring professional coach educators’ realities, challenges and workplace relationships
Despite scholarly interest in formal coach education, there is a paucity of research with professional coach educators (tutors). To date, and despite their crucial role in certifying and developing coaches, their perspectives have lacked consideration and/or have been limited to empirical enquiry in a specific team sport. Therefore, the aim of this research was to explore the realities, challenges, and workplace relationships of 16 coach educator…
Exploring professional coach educators’ journeys and perceptions and understandings of learning
Coach educators’ voices rarely feature in the coaching literature. To address this gap, this research explored the journeys and perceptions and understandings of learning of 16 coach educators (tutors) in the United Kingdom (UK). As such, the research enabled the voices of these coach educators to be heard and their socialisation processes to be investigated. Semi-structured interviews were used to gain exploratory insights and the data were anal…
An Evaluation of the Implementation of a UK School-Based Running Program
The adoption of school-based running programs has rapidly increased over the last five years in the UK and globally. However, there is currently a lack of information on how these initiatives are implemented, and whether they are generalizable and/or sustainable. This study evaluated the implementation (including reach, fidelity, and dose) of a school-based running program over seven months to inform future delivery. This observational study used…
Prompting Pedagogical Change through Promoting Active Lifestyles Paradoxes
This study explored approaches to promoting active lifestyles (PAL) in schools which aimed to inform and develop physical education (PE) trainees and teachers' health-related philosophies and pedagogies. Thirty-two secondary school PE trainees and teachers involved in a University-based Initial Teacher Education partnership in England participated in this study during the period 2015-2019. The participants were involved in professional developmen…

Get(ting) to the Start Line – the evaluation of an innovative intervention to address adolescents’ school-related stress and anxiety
There are growing concerns over young people’s mental health, the academic pressures they face, and the association between school-related stress and health. Given this, alongside the known benefits of physical activity for psychological health, the need for school-based interventions with a physical activity focus seems justified. This paper reports on findings from the evaluation of a pilot of ‘Get to the Start Line’, an innovative school-based…
A retrospective qualitative evaluation of barriers and facilitators to the implementation of a school-based running programme
Findings suggest that the barriers and facilitators to implementation are wide-ranging and include programme, organisational and system-level factors. Collectively pointing towards the need for a preparation period before implementation to understand schools' readiness to implement and context-specific factors, both regarding organisational capacity and programme specific capacity
Young people’s knowledge and understanding of health, fitness and physical activity
Critical discourse analysis was used to explore and discuss data on young people’s knowledge and understanding of health, fitness and physical activity, selected from a wider study which focused on the role of secondary schools in effectively promoting physical activity. A mixed methods approach was utilised, involving an online survey to teachers in all state secondary schools in the UK (n = 603 responding schools) and case studies centred on ei…
Promoting physical activity in secondary schools
There are growing expectations on schools to promote health and physical activity and helping schools to effectively do so is considered a priority. This paper reports on selected findings from a research project that was concerned with supporting secondary schools in the effective promotion of physical activity and establishing their needs in this regard. Specifically, the paper explores secondary school teachers’ experiences of and perspectives…
Monitoring health, activity and fitness in physical education
Various government policies, strategies and responses in England over the years have highlighted schools and physical education to be instrumental in addressing health and the focus on health has been strengthened within subsequent revisions of the National Curriculum. Whilst this might seem encouraging, concerns have been expressed that such policies and governmental regulation increasingly bear features of a ‘performative culture’ and that thes…
Physical education teachers’ continuing professional development in health-related exercise
This paper uses figurational sociology to explain why Secondary Physical Education teachers’ engagement with Health Related Exercise (HRE) is often limited. Historically-rooted concerns surround the teaching of HRE, and these have recently been linked to teachers’ limited continuing professional development (CPD) in HRE (HRE-CPD). A two-phase, mixed-method study involving a survey questionnaire ( n=124) and semi-structured interviews ( n=12) was …
Every child (of every size) matters’ in physical education! Physical education's role in childhood obesity
The role of schools and physical education in promoting health, producing a ‘healthy nation’ and in tackling obesity has been increasingly recognised in recent years. In England this is evidenced by various policies, strategies and responses from government that have highlighted schools to be instrumental in addressing health broadly and obesity specifically. In addition, individual schools and teachers at the local level appear to be responding …
School-based physical activity interventions
The promotion of physical activity within schools and physical education (PE) has attracted growing interest in recent years. Schools have been acknowledged as the primary institution with responsibility for promoting activity in young people and more specifically, school PE has been recognized as having a key role to play. Given this, and based on previous reviews of the findings of formally evaluated interventions, this paper considers the evid…
