Informal mealtime pedagogies: Exploring the influence of family structure on young people's healthy eating dispositions
Families are increasingly recognised as informal sites of learning, especially with regard to healthy eating.

How they help to construct young people's healthy eating beliefs, values and dispositions, together with what influences their ability to conduct healthy lif…
Young People’s Embodiment of Physical Activity: The Role of the ‘Pedagogized’ Family
Drawing from Bourdieu, this study investigated the multifaceted influences that operate in and through combinations of family and social class with regard to the embodiment of physical activity in young adolescents in the UK.

The results illustrate that the family operates as a …

As an exploratory study, the aim was to elicit children's subjective views of their engagement in leisure time physical activity settings. Adopting an interpretive perspective, six 11‐ to 14‐year‐old children from intact couple famil…

The study suggests that involvement in…
Young Muslim women's experiences of Islam and physical education in Greece and Britain: A comparative study
Previous research suggests that Muslim women can experience particular problems when taking physical education (PE) lessons, for example with dress codes, mixed-teaching and exercise during Ramadan; and they can face restrictions in extra-curricular activities for cultural and religious reasons. The area is under-researched and there is little evidence of comparative studies that explore similarities and differences in cross-national experiences,…

Physical education has a firm place in teacher training in England because of its status as a National Curriculum foundation subject which guarantees entitlement for all children. The recruitment and retention of ethnic minority teachers have been a national concern for many years and yet remain an under-res…
