  • The relationship between sedentary behaviour and physical literacy in Canadian children

    Open AccessTravis J Saunders, Dany J Macdonald et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    These results highlight differences in the ways that screen and non-screen sedentary behaviours relate to physical literacy. Public health interventions should continue to target screen-based sedentary behaviours, given their potentially harmful associations with important aspects of physical literacy

  • A cross-sectional study exploring the relationship between age, gender, and physical measures with adequacy in and predilection for physical activity

    Open AccessDany J Macdonald, Travis J Saunders et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Results indicate an association between cardiorespiratory fitness and measures of physical activity adequacy and predilection. These findings suggest that practitioners should consider the physiological and psychological makeup of the child, and ways to enhance adequacy and predilection among children with limited cardiorespiratory fitness, in order to create the best possible environment for all children to participate in physical activity

  • Associations between teacher training and measures of physical literacy among Canadian 8- to 12-year-old students

    Open AccessBarbi Law, Brenda Bruner et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    While teacher training is hypothesized to contribute to the development of physical literacy among elementary school students, the observed effects in this study were either small or null. Children taught by PE specialists were more likely than those taught by generalists to demonstrate recommended levels of motivation and confidence, and to have better movement skills, which are hypothesized to be critical prerequisites for the development of a …

  • The relationship between physical literacy scores and adherence to Canadian physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines

    Open AccessKevin Belanger, Joel D Barnes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    These cross-sectional findings demonstrate important associations between physical literacy and guideline adherence for physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Future research should explore the causality of these associations

  • Physical literacy levels of Canadian children aged 8–12 years

    Open AccessMark S Tremblay, Patricia E Longmuir et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    These results provide the largest and most comprehensive assessment of physical literacy of Canadian children to date, providing a "state of the nation" baseline, and can be used to monitor changes and inform intervention strategies going forward

  • Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with physical literacy in a large sample of Canadian children aged 8 to 12 years

    Open AccessJustin J Lang, Jean‐philippe Chaput et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    This study identified strong favourable associations between CRF and physical literacy and its constituent components in children aged 8-12 years. Future research should investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the 20mSRT in screening those with low physical literacy levels

  • Moving online physical education from oxymoron to efficacy

    Brian J Kooiman, Dwayne P Sheehan et al.ARTICLESport Education and Society2015Cited by: 2References: 5

    The use of the Internet within education has created an urgent need for research into online learning models, delivery methods and curriculum content modifications especially in online physical education (OLPE). Most secondary OLPE courses focus on the cognitive pieces of the curriculum, and to a lesser degree, fitness for life due to a lack of research. The omission of the physical, social and emotional components of the OLPE curriculum has crea…

  • Interacting with the past, present, and future of exergames

    Brian J Kooiman, Dwayne P SheehanARTICLELoisir et Société / Society and…2015Cited by: 3References: 2

    Exergames are the result of changes in the games which preceded them. The last cycle of video game consoles arrived with add-on devices which allowed for this new genre of gaming. These devices allowed users to move their bodies to interact with the game. A new cycle of gaming consoles will offer increased device sensitivity and responsiveness, opening the door for improved game play. In the future, predicted improvements in game play will make e…

  • Intergenerational Remote Exergaming with Family and Friends for Health and Leisure

    Brian J Kooiman, Dwayne P SheehanARTICLEJournal of Intergenerational…2014Cited by: 2References: 31

    Global guidelines for physical activity are not being met by most of the world’s youths, adults, and older adults. Family and friends who engage in physical activity across generations derive emotional, social, cognitive, and physical benefits from their interaction. Youths depend on adult assistance to travel long distances, adults are encumbered with obligations to work, and older adults often live more than 200 miles from their extended famili…
