A pre-longitudinal screen of performance in an integrated assessment of throwing and catching competence
Background: The ability to adapt motor skill performance to a variety of conditions is vital to success in physical activity settings. Valid and reliable measurements of motor competence (MC) are critical for understanding its impact on physical health. Many widely used MC assessments evaluate the performance of isolated motor skills, place performers in highly standardized environments, and limit opportunities to adapt performance. Consequently,…
Developing experiential signature pedagogies for integrating theory and practice in Pete: Teacher educator enactments and pre-service teachers’ engagement
Inclusion in Motion: Promoting Equitable Physical Activity and Health in Childhood and Adolescence
Inclusion in play, physical education, outdoor life, organized sports, and other movement-based activities can promote resilience and support physical, emotional, and social well-being. These arenas are particularly important for reducing health disparities and preventing social marginalization across the lifespan. Yet, children and adolescents from vulnerable or disadvantaged backgrounds encounter persistent barriers to participation, rooted in …

Developing pre-service teacher efficacy during Pete programmes: Helping pre-service teachers find their way
Physical education (PE) teacher efficacy describes the belief, skills, and competency to facilitate teaching and learning activities within a PE setting. This is important because highly efficacious teachers have a significant impact on learning outcomes for students. This makes teacher efficacy a significant factor in the development and retention of teachers. Yet, despite international consensus on its importance, practical strategies to develo…
Exploring young children's enjoyment of physical education using the Write, Draw, and Tell method
Although young children generally enjoy physical education (PE), little is known about what they enjoy and why. The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore what 5- to 6-year-old children like and dislike about PE. Seventy-seven children drew pictures of what they both liked and disliked about PE and were then interviewed to explore their reasons. Content analysis of the drawings and reflexive thematic analysis of their transcript data reve…
Teaching efficacy of undergraduate PE students; what are the key predictors and what can PE educators learn from this
Introduction Teaching efficacy describes the belief in a teacher's ability to promote learning and this belief is an invaluable asset for all teachers. This study examined the contextual influences that predict the teaching efficacy of first-year undergraduate PE students wishing to enter teacher training programs. Method Using a mixed methods study design, 168 PE students completed an online questionnaire and 16 of these participants took part i…
Assessing the motivational climates in early physical education curricula underpinned by motor learning theory: Sample-Pe
Background: Traditionally, Physical Education (PE) has adopted a multi-skills approach, where children generally engage in decontextualised practice of sport techniques to develop specific movement skills and facilitate sports participation. This approach has been critiqued for having a weak conceptual and philosophical justification, and a lack of empirical proof of its educational value. The SAMPLE-PE research project set out to challenge this …
Examining the validity, reliability and feasibility of capturing children's physical literacy through games-based assessment in physical education
Background Observational tools can help refine practice design and guide the creation of effective learning environments. The intention of this study was to design and validate an observational instrument for assessing physical literacy that remains more faithful to the philosophically complex and holistic nature of the concept. Methods Framed by concepts of ecological dynamics, the emergent games-based assessment tool enables capture of children…
Effects of a blended classroom-based intervention on aerobic fitness, motor skills, inhibition, and daytime sleepiness among Hong Kong children
In response to the all-round development of primary school children, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a blended intervention program on children's health-related outcomes of aerobic fitness, motor skills, inhibition and daytime sleepiness in classroom settings. Three experimental conditions include: (1) the “Stand + Move” group combining sit-stand desks and physical activity (PA) recess, (2) “Move” group with PA recess only, and …
The Physical Behaviour Intensity Spectrum and Body Mass Index in School-Aged Youth: A Compositional Analysis of Pooled Individual Participant Data
We examined the compositional associations between the intensity spectrum derived from incremental acceleration intensity bands and the body mass index (BMI) z-score in youth, and investigated the estimated differences in BMI z-score following time reallocations between intensity bands. School-aged youth from 63 schools wore wrist accelerometers, and data of 1453 participants (57.5% girls) were analysed. Nine acceleration intensity bands (range: …
An ecological dynamics conceptualisation of physical ‘education’: Where we have been and where we could go next
Background: In this paper, we explore physical education from a relational worldview. Theoretically guided by an ecological dynamics framework, this perspective calls us to conceptualise ‘education’ in its etymological roots – ex-ducere – meaning ‘to lead’ an individual ‘out’ into the world. In doing so, an educator would employ a ‘softer’ pedagogy, seeking to guide the attention and encourage exploration of a less experienced individual toward t…

PE interventions based on LP and NP alone might not be effective in improving habitual PA in children
Physical Education Pedagogies Built upon Theories of Movement Learning: How Can Environmental Constraints Be Manipulated to Improve Children’s Executive Function and Self-Regulation Skills
Physical education in schools has been marginalised across the globe, and as a result, children are missing out on opportunities to develop and acquire the foundation skills needed to lead a physically active life. The squeeze on physical education in schools, particularly in some western countries (United Kingdom, Australia and America), has been justified on the grounds that core subjects such as English and mathematics need more curriculum tim…
Marketing Strategy and Competitive Positioning (6th Edition)

Strategic Marketing
Strategic marketing is a process that allows organisation to align resources optimally, to create competitive advantage. This is achieved by capitalising on opportunities and countering threats in competitive environments.
Implementation
The implementation of strategy is generally regarded as being the third and fourth parts of a four‐stage process of strategic planning, involving the stages of analysis, planning implementation and control. Successful implementation plays a significant role in the achievement of strategic objectives. In service businesses customer facing employees have a vital role in the successful implementation of strategic plans.
Strategy
Strategy is derived from the Greek strategia , meaning generalship.
