Strategies used in physical education (PE) lessons are important to help students improve their fitness. Cardiovascular fitness, particular, is still the key area of fitness for children be developed during PE lessons. In general, there two main different strategies - games-concept approach (GCA) and skills-based (SKA). This study will provide educators insight into effectiveness approaches improving children’s cardiovascular PURPOSE: To compare GCA SKA METHODS: Twenty-four male participants...
