Triadic Games: Students’ Views on a Novel Game Modification to Teach Invasion Games within the Tactical Games Approach in Physical Education
Modified games used in student-centered models like the Tactical Games Model (TGM) have followed dyadic structures (1vs1), and triadic games represent a step forward. They include the uncertain relationship between three players/teams that play the game. This modification increases complexity on the players’ decision making. The aim of the study was to assess the use of triadic games in secondary education students’ perceptions during a TGM learn…
Reconciling model fidelity and teaching agency: How preservice teachers’ implementation of a hybrid Sport Education-Step Game Approach relates to student learning
This study examined how different levels of implementation fidelity to critical elements of a hybrid Sport Education–Step Game Approach (SE-SGA) were associated with students’ game performance during volleyball teaching. Within a master's-level physical education teacher education program in Northern Portugal, nine preservice teachers (PSTs) and 189 10th-grade students across nine classes participated. Prior to school placement, the PSTs complete…
Walking Soccer: An Early Step Toward Tactical Literacy
Walking soccer, a modified version of traditional soccer designed for individuals with limited mobility, offers an innovative approach to teaching tactical and technical skills in physical education (PE). This non-contact sport, which prohibits running and physical contact, makes it accessible and safe for a wide range of participants, including older adults and children. The sport has been widely used in various settings since its establishment …
Inclusive Education and Physical Education in Spain: A Qualitative Analysis of Teachers’ Perspectives
This study examined the perceptions of physical education teachers regarding inclusive education in their classes. A qualitative, cross-sectional design was employed, using a digital survey with an open-ended question designed to explore barriers and needs in implementing inclusive practices. Thematic content analysis was conducted to identify key themes from the responses. Seventy-five in-service physical education teachers from diverse educatio…
Quantitative insights into meaningful physical education in Spain: Students’ perceptions across gender and grade levels
Background: Over the last few years, the Meaningful Physical Education (PE) approach has emerged as a framework aimed at transforming PE experiences into relevant and positive for all students. To date, most of the existing research on Meaningful PE has been conducted in English-speaking contexts, using qualitative research designs and mainly on teachers. This focus has left three notable gaps that the present study tried to address: the use of q…

Physical Activity and Quality of Life in High School Students: Proposals for Improving the Self-Concept in Physical Education
Adolescence is a critical period for the acquisition of health-related behaviors that will transcend later psychological well-being in adulthood. The present study presents a theoretical model whose objective is to analyze how physical activity predicts an adequate quality of life through self-concept and subjective happiness among adolescents. A total of 452 students aged 12 to 15 (M = 13.8; SD = 0.77) from four Compulsory Secondary Education in…
Hybridizing pedagogical models: A systematic review
The goal of this study was to assess hybridizations conducted among pedagogical models (PMs) from 1st to 12th grade (six–18 years) in physical education (PE). Research articles selected were found through Web of Science, Medline, Scopus, SportDiscus (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest) and Google Scholar databases. The keywords associated with PMs (e.g. models-based practice and sport education (SE)), hybridization (e.g. hybrid), PE and educational levels (e…
