ePhyLi digital tools improve student-teachers' physical literacy knowledge
Introduction Physical Literacy (PL) is widely recognized as an essential focus for promoting active lifestyles and lifelong healthy habits. Equipping teachers and student-teachers, particularly those in primary and physical education, with significant PL-related knowledge is essential for fostering lifelong healthy behaviors from childhood. This study aimed to present the ePhyLi Erasmus + Sport project contents and to evaluate the effectiveness, …
Compatibility of physical education curricula with physical literacy across 40 European countries
Although the student-centred concept of physical literacy (PL) has been emphasized by UNESCO, knowledge about its adoption/implementation into PE remains scant. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate and compare the compatibility of PE curricula with PL in Europe. We collaboratively gathered a panel of experts encompassing 40 European countries. In the first step, the experts were invited to freely specify the compatibility of country’…
Mapping Physical Literacy in Czech Future Physical Education Teachers – a Time Trend Study
To facilitate the dissemination of physical literacy (PL), prioritizing its integration in the education of future physical education (PE) teachers is imperative. This study focuses on assessing the PL levels of university students enrolled in PE programs who have participated in a dedicated workshop on PL to understand its significance and its attributes. Utilizing the Czech version of the PLAYself questionnaire administered in a pencil-and-pape…
How Czech Adolescents Perceive Their Physical Activity
Adolescence is a critical stage in the development of an individual's physical activity (PA) habits and preferences. Adolescents' perceptions of PA can influence their motivation to engage in PA and, consequently, their overall level of PA. Thus, our primary aim was to investigate whether Czech adolescents misperceive their peers' PA. Our dataset comprised cross-sectional data on 1289 adolescents aged 11-15 years. PA was measured using self-repor…
Different Perception of Health Status and Importance of Physical Activity among Croatian, Slovak and Czech Youth
The main aim of the study was to compare self-perception of health status and importance of physical activity in students in Croatia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. We used a self-designed questionnaire originally prepared in the Slovak language that was translated in mother languages for Czech and Croatian students. The questionnaire consists of five parts (we focused only on one part – physical activity and health) and basic demographical dat…
Physical Activity Recommendations in the Context of New Calls for Change in Physical Education
The current social, health, and educational changes in society require an adequate response in school-based physical activity (PA), including physical education (PE) lessons. The objective of this study was to identify the real average step counts of Czech and Polish adolescents during PE lessons, and propose recommendations for improving PE programs. This research was carried out in 143 Czech and 99 Polish schools. In the research, a total of 49…
Adolescent Health Literacy and Neighbourhood Features
The role of supportive environments on health, wellbeing, and longevity has been widely recognized. However, there is no strong empirical evidence on the association between health literacy (HL) as a particular health-related competence and neighbourhoods. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the association between the features of neighbourhoods and the level of HL competencies of young people from three countries (Czech Republic, Polan…
How Czech Adolescents Perceive Active Commuting to School
To achieve a healthy lifestyle, adolescents must be physically active and meet physical activity (PA) guidelines. One of the most natural ways of increasing the amount of PA is active commuting (AC) to school. Recent reviews suggest that peer norms have the potential to shape PA during adolescence in particular. Thus, our primary aim was to investigate whether Czech adolescents misperceive their peers' AC behaviors and attitudes towards AC. Our d…
The Influence of Monitoring Interval on Data Measurement
The pedometer is a widely used research tool for measuring the level and extent of physical activity (PA) within population subgroups. The sample used in this study was drawn from a population of university students to examine the influence of the monitoring interval and alternate starting days on step-count activity patterns. The study was part of a national project during 2008-2010. Eligible subjects (641) were selected from a sample of 906 uni…
Secular trends in pupils’ assessments of physical education lessons in regard to their self-perception of physical fitness across the educational systems of Czech Republic and Poland
Observation of trends in physical education plays an integral role in motor-development diagnostics and in encouraging physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. This study aims to elucidate the current state of and trends in pupils’ assessments of physical education lessons (PELs) in different education systems in the context of self-perception of physical fitness. The research was conducted during PELs taught by student teachers at primary scho…
Is Participation in After-School Physical Activity Associated with Increased Total Physical Activity? A Study of High School Pupils in the Czech Republic
This study assessed the physical activity (PA) levels and its variability across days, months and seasons of two groups of high school pupils: those who did and those who did not participate in regular organized after-school physical activity (ASPA). Thirteen pupils wore pedometers continuously for one school-year, logged their step counts into record sheets and were then interviewed for information as regards their participation in any ASPA. Rep…
