As most physical education teacher programs provide little preparatory coursework on disabilities, it is unsurprising preservice educators often struggle to effectively include students with disabilities. Given upwards of 95% disabilities are taught in integrated classes, imperative teachers prepared for this inevitability. Though moderately understood that receive preparation, what remains unknown those courses and the rationale behind their construction. The purpose study, therefore, was...
Physical education college preparation programs continue to require only one adapted physical (APE) course. Due the importance of APE course often provided preservice education, this study investigated status introductory courses across United States. A content analysis descriptions and objectives was completed on 30 syllabi from courses, descriptive information collected. The most common topics covered included intellectual disability (n = 21), assessment 20). revealed four area emphasis:...
Abstract Background Most physical activity (PA) during school occurs at recess; however, recess PA may be influenced by children’s thermal comfort and interaction with nature, neither of which have concurrently been measured reliably in previous studies. This study tests the reliability SOPLAY-SN, an adaption validated System for Observing Play Leisure Activity Youth (SOPLAY) to measure Shade Nature (SN) alongside PA, associations between shade nature highlight utility tool.

Consequently, sufficient adapted physical education (APE) training pre-service teachers is critical to ensure meaningful experiences all students. Few studies on how teacher (PETE) programs are preparing future educators teach exist. purposes this study were preliminarily describe current undergraduate APE introductory courses, including: (a) instructor...
Programs implemented in afterschool settings can support children’s health; however, their effectiveness may depend on the degree of implementation which vary by school. In this cluster-randomized controlled trial, we assessed effect a play-based curricular intervention physical activity (PA) levels among children (N=133) attending seven and comparison programs Arizona (U.S.) using general linear mixed models, examined how impacted PA regression models. was measured wrist-worn accelerometers...
Abstract Recess is a critical source of physical, social and emotional health well-being for children, but generally not prioritized during online learning.

We used embedded mixed method with prospective pre-/post-design measure change student-reported emotion qualities engagement an setting. Students...
