Integrating Fractions into Physical Education classes can improve Mathematical Performance in 11–13-Year-Olds - The Basketball Mathematics project
Mathematical literacy, especially understanding fractions, predicts children’s academic success. Physical activity benefits cognitive and academic performance and integrating movement into mathematics education may enhance learning. This study examined whether a play-based basketball mathematics intervention improves children’s understanding of fractions. A secondary aim was to explore whether the approach enhances intrinsic motivation by fosteri…
Physical activity during education outside the classroom and its associations with pupils’ psychological need satisfaction and intrinsic school motivation
Pupils’ physical activity (PA) and motivation for learning decline through the school years, prompting interest in approaches that sustain engagement while supporting psychological and physical health. Education outside the classroom (EOtC) has been associated with higher intrinsic motivation and PA. However, it remains unclear whether improvements in motivation for school during EOtC associate with observed PA levels. This study examined whether…
Youth-led community street sport in practice
Peer-led sport programmes can provide supportive social relations and opportunities for role modelling and identification. These features can support the inclusion of groups who usually do not participate in sport activities and provide an environment that fosters personal and social development. However, it is important to assess the implementation of peer-led activities to understand whether such potentials are fulfilled. Therefore, we investig…
Implementation Outcomes and Recommendations of Two Physical Activity Interventions
Physical activity (PA) should be an essential part of all children's lives, as it can promote physical and mental health, enhance general well-being, and positively impact learning outcomes. Schools offer an ideal setting to encourage physical activity during the school day, as nearly all children attend school. However, schools present a complex environment for implementing PA, and sedentary behavior is common in classroom teaching. This study e…
Enabling six- to ten-year-old children to self-report their wellbeing and quality of life
Based on our results, the KIDSCREEN-VIDEO provides a promising self-reported measure for wellbeing among children aged six to ten
Cross-sectional associations between adolescents' physical literacy, sport and exercise participation, and wellbeing
Background: Adolescence is a significant period in one's development of positive emotional and social wellbeing. Physical literacy (PL) is considered a determinant of physical health and wellbeing and is thought to be the foundation for an individual's engagement in physical activities. Yet, limited evidence exists on PL's association with adolescents' health and physical activity behavior. This study aims to (1) explore the associations between …
Efficacy and mechanisms of an education outside the classroom intervention on pupils’ health and education
Registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (ID NCT05237674 ) [University of Copenhagen. MOVEOUT: a Cluster RCT of the Efficacy, Mechanisms, and Mediation of an Education Outside the Classroom Intervention on Adolescents' Physical Activity, 2023], February 14, 2022. Most recently updated on November 23, 2022 (Version 2)
Activating the ‘peerness’ of youth leaders in a community sports programme through techne and phronesis
Peer-to-peer approaches engage groups of people considered to share one or more characteristics that identify them as peers and draw on rationales of credibility, identification and role modelling in peer-to-peer interactions. Despite the popularity of the approach, the ways in which the peer leadership component specifically contributes to health promotion is not thoroughly understood. We suggest that a first step for making use of peer leader c…
Associations between children’s physical literacy and well-being
The study contributes to evidence on the link between PL, physical activity, and health outcomes. The study found beneficial relations between PL and physical and psychosocial well-being. MVPA mediated part of the relationship between PL and physical well-being but not psychosocial well-being
Exploring the importance of diversified physical activities in early childhood for later motor competence and physical activity level
The results of this study indicate that diversified physical activity at age six is important for the development of MC and PA in adolescence. Increasing the diversity of children's daily physical activities, not only the amount and intensity, seems important for future PA behavior and thereby health promotion in a life course perspective
Associations between previous sport and exercise experience and physical literacy elements among physically inactive Danes
Previous experience with sport and exercise is very important to consider when developing sport and exercise activities for currently inactive adults as individuals with low previous experience have lower competences and autonomous motivation and therefore need lower challenges and other important attention to the motivational climate in order to ensure that the activities are motivating enough to secure continued engagement
Translation and validation of the Canadian assessment of physical literacy-2 in a Danish sample
The translated and context-adapted Danish version of CAPL-2 is a valid and reliable measurement tool ready to use in Danish research studies
A Scoping Review of Peer-Led Physical Activity Interventions Involving Young People
The use of peer-to-peer approaches in health promotion interventions targeting youth seems to be a strategy with great potential. The aim of this study was to synthesize and assess the elements and conditions that contribute to the effectiveness of youth-led physical activity interventions. This was done using a scoping review addressing the following three research questions: What are the theoretical and intervention rationales behind peer-led p…
Sports-based recreation as a means to address social inequity in health
The rising global burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among people with low socioeconomic status (SES) has heightened awareness of the need for primary prevention programs in low-SES neighborhoods. Social inequity in health is apparent in mental, social and physical aspects of health among people living in low-SES neighborhoods. Viewing this problem from a life course perspective and adopting a vulnerable population approach points to the i…

No Structure without Culture? A Survey Study of 15–19 Year Olds’ Practices, Preferences and Perceptions of Physical Activity in a Danish Upper Secondary School
This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in a Danish upper secondary school where alternative options of physical activity have been provided to the students. The purpose of the study is to gain knowledge about the perspectives of the students concerning physical education (PE), sport and exercise. The study illustrates young people’s practices, preferences and perceptions when physical activity is a gender-integrated…
A quasi-experimental cross-disciplinary evaluation of the impacts of education outside the classroom on pupils’ physical activity, well-being and learning
The TEACHOUT study represents a holistic multidisciplinary approach to educational and school health-promotion research through its study design and combination of scientific disciplines and methods, as well as its focus on the interdependent relations between learning, PA, social relations, well-being, and motivation. This will result in a comprehensive picture of school health promotion and children's health and well-being, which will broaden t…
The influence of club football on children’s daily physical activity
Studies on the effects of organized club sports on children’s total amount of physical activity (PA) show varying results. This may be partly due to different sports having different activity levels, but also different possibilities for being played outside club settings. This study investigates how playing football as a club sport is associated to the total amount of daily PA among children and how increased school recess activity impacts on thi…
Gender differences in the daily physical activities of Danish school children
The purpose of this study was to explore the daily physical activities of Danish children with a focus on describing and explaining gender differences. Accelerometer measurements of physical activity in different contexts, as well as questionnaire data, were collected from more than 500 children at pre-school and later at third grade. The study showed that boys were generally more physically active than girls (18% at age 6—7, and 16% at age 9—10,…
