Meaningful physical education versus autonomy support
Background The assessment of physical fitness (PF) has traditionally formed part of Physical Education (PE).

This study positions two pedagogical approaches within this debate: Meaningful PE…

A Cross-Sectional Study to Measure Physical Activity with Accelerometry in ADHD Children according to Presentations
(1) Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common mental disorder affecting 5-7% of school-aged children. Previous studies have looked at the effects of physical activity interventions on the symptoms of ADHD, although few have compared the motor behavior of children with ADHD versus those without. This exploratory study provides detailed information on the patterns and intensity of physical activity and sedentary behavi…
Self-made material in physical education
The COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic changes in education, which had to adapt to changing scenarios (online, face-to-face, hybrid teaching). Within physical education (PE), strategies such as 'do not use or share equipment' were proposed to avoid infections. These strategies fit with an emerging pedagogical model called the Self-made Material Model (SMM), which involves students creating their own PE equipment. The objectives of the present study…
