Verbal encouragement during strength and endurance assessments
Research supports using verbal encouragement (VE) to improve performance in strength and endurance exercises. However, there is still a gap in understanding how the gender of the coach or teacher affects the efficacy of VE. This study examines whether the teacher's gender influences performance in strength and endurance assessments among male and female student-athletes. In a crossover randomized controlled design, 16 male and 16 female student-a…
Disruptive behaviors in Tunisian physical education settings
The objective of this study was to investigate how the gender and school level factors relate to disruptive behaviors during physical education (PE) classes in Tunisian schools. The study sample consisted of 632 Tunisian students aged 12−19 years, with 43.2% of them being boys and 56.8% girls. Among the participants, 64.9% were middle school students, while 33.1% were secondary school students. Self‐reported data was collected using the 20‐item “…
Managing middle school students' disruptive behaviors during physical education classes using the color wheel system
This study investigated whether the use of the color wheel system (CWS) during physical education (PE) classes is associated with a significant decrease in disruptive behaviors among middle school students. Using a multiple‐baseline single‐case design, we investigated the effects of the CWS on disruptive behavior in nine middle school students with identified disruptive tendencies, aged 13.33 ± 1.1 years on average. Disruptive behaviors were trac…
Exploring the impact of verbal encouragement on strength, endurance, and psychophysiological responses
Introduction This study investigates the effects of teacher verbal encouragement (VE) on strength, endurance, and psychophysiological responses, aiming to enhance teaching strategies in sports science education. Methods Forty-eight sports science students, aged 21.3 ± 0.5 years, participated in this study. The sample was randomly divided into two groups, and a counterbalancing procedure was implemented. Participants completed strength and enduran…
The Good Behaviour Game
Background: Maintaining physical distancing is one of the most important steps to enforce in educational institutions to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. However, close proximity and physical contact between students are often considered 'normal' during physical education (PE) classes, making it challenging for PE teachers to ensure physical distancing. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the implementation o…
Peer Verbal Encouragement Enhances Offensive Performance Indicators in Handball Small-Sided Games
Objective: This study aimed at assessing the effects of two verbal encouragement modalities on the different offensive and defensive performance indicators in handball small-sided games practiced in physical education settings. Methods: A total of 14 untrained secondary school male students, aged 17 to 18, took part in a three-session practical intervention. Students were divided into two teams of seven players (four field players, a goalkeeper, …
Enhancing Time Reading and Recording Skills in First-Grade Children with Learning Difficulties Using the “Clock Motor Game”
This study aimed to explore the effect of the motor game, "Clock Motor Games", on the improvement of "Reading and Recording of Time" (RRT) in children with Grade 1 mathematical learning difficulties (MLDs). A within-school cluster-randomized intervention study was conducted with 232 children (aged 6-7 years) with limited physical education experience (0.7 ± 0.3 years). The participants were divided into two groups: a control group, which received…
Working Memory in Overweight Boys during Physical Education Classes
This study examined the effect of small-sided football games (SSFG) and small-sided Ultimate Frisbee games (SSUFG) on working memory, response times, and feeling mood of boys with overweight. Twenty-eight boys (age 12.23 ± 1.58 years) participated in two trials during physical education lessons (20-min SSFG and 20-min SSUFG) in a counterbalanced, randomized crossover design. The response times and feeling mood were measured for all participants p…
The Feeling of Pleasure for Overweight Children during Different Types of Physical Activity
The feeling of pleasure during physical education (PE) could increase with physical activity participation and adherence for overweight children. While traditional games are known to have positive benefits on motor skill development, especially for children with poorer motor skills, and on the body mass of children, little is known about overweight children's feelings of enjoyment when playing these games. To identify a program of physical activi…
Listening to Music and Playing Activities during Recreation between Lessons Regenerate Children’s Cognitive Performance at Different Times of Day
The interruption of learning processes by breaks filled with diverse activities is common in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the time of day (TOD) of playing with or without music during recess on cognitive performance regeneration among students aged between 11 and 12. Twenty-seven volunteer children (aged 12 ± 0.6 years) completed four trials at 09h45, 10h15, 14h45, and 15h15. Each test session was sep…
Distance Motor Learning during the Covid-19 Induced Confinement
The purpose of the present study was to investigate which of two strategies, Video Feedback with Pedagogical Activity (VF-PA) or Video Feedback (VF), would be more beneficial for the remote error correction of the snatch weightlifting technique during the confinement period. Thirty-five school aged children with at least three months of weightlifting experience were randomized to one of three training conditions: VF-PA, VF or the Control group (C…
Technology-mediated Physical Education teaching practices in Tunisian public schools
Despite the worldwide increase in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Physical Education (PE) over the past two decades, little is yet known about how these technological aids are being considered and used by PE teachers in developing countries. This study investigated Tunisian PE teachers’ technological competencies, the rate at which they use ICTs and their perspectives towards the integration of digital technologies…
Video modeling examples are effective tools for self-regulated learning in physical education
This study aimed at assessing the impact of video modeling examples (VMEs) on secondary school students’ self-regulated learning experiences in gymnastics in original physical education (PE) settings. A total of 56 students (28 males and 28 females), aged 16–17, took part in a seven-week gymnastics learning unit for the purpose of acquiring new motor skills and knowledge using VMEs, in the absence of teacher and peer assistance. Repeated measurem…
