Physically active learning (PAL) has been advocated as a strategy for enhancing young people's movement and learning. To understand how PAL is accepted, adapted, used by teachers, this study interviewed 16 teachers. The concept of sensemaking thematic analysis was in the study. findings illustrate that teachers made sense through lens professional identity, using to vary their teaching include students varying abilities We conclude may be more likely interact with if primacy given its...
Abstract Background Studies indicate that health-related components of physical fitness are associated with mental health outcomes. However, research is scarce concerning this relationship in young adolescents general and non-existent Norwegian populations specifically. The aim the study was to examine whether body composition, muscular strength cardiorespiratory were self-reported adolescents. Methods Adolescents from four regions Norway ( n = 1486; mean age 13.9; girls 50.6%) participated....
In 2018, the Centre for Physical Active Learning (SEFAL) designed a comprehensive one-year workplace-based continuous professional development (CPD) program in-service teachers in Norway. The CPD aimed to enhance pedagogical feasibility of integrating physically active learning (PAL) within all theoretical subjects by advancing teachers’ competence. This article provides an overview SEFAL program’s conceptual framework and design. Although does not provide independent evaluation framework,...
This paper explores why teachers adopt physically active learning (PAL). Data were collected through 'go-alongs' supplemented by individual interviews with 13 in seven Norwegian lower secondary schools. then analysed thematically. Results indicated that as well to enhance their teaching and pupils' learning, PAL adhere school policy (The Conforming Teacher), be an innovative educator Innovating and, because it matches past positive personal experiences Connecting Teacher). The findings can...
Abstract Background School-based physical activity interventions evaluating the effect on academic performance usually includes children. We aimed to investigate of a nine-month, school-based intervention titled School in Motion (ScIM) adolescents. Methods Thirty secondary schools Norway were cluster-randomized into three groups: Physically active learning (PAL) group ( n = 10), Don’t worry – Be Happy (DWBH) 10) or control 10). Target dose both groups was 120 min/week additional PA during...
ABSTRACT The Active Smarter Kids (ASK) study evaluated the effect of a 7-month curriculum-prescribed physical activity intervention on academic performance in fifth-grade Norwegian students. However, there is also need to examine teachers’ perception and maintenance ASK intervention. We conducted prospective, mixed methods descriptive across 1 yr Data were collected via self-report questionnaire, administered online, at two time points, immediately after postintervention. first questionnaire...
This paper explores teachers' educational values and how they shape their judgements about physically active learning (PAL). Twenty one teachers from four primary schools in Norway participated focus groups. By conceptualising PAL as a didaktikk approach, the findings indicated that engaged with way reflected professional identity previous experiences curriculum. Teachers valued of getting to know pupils situations were different those when sedentary. These insights illustrate PAL, approach...
Purpose This paper evaluates the implementation of a school-based physical activity intervention and discusses how outcomes can be influenced by implementation. Design/methodology/approach In four nine lower secondary schools in which was conducted, authors examined fidelity, adaptation, quality, responsiveness dose received. The conducted focus group interviews with teachers ( n = 8) students 46) made observations. Dose delivered quantitatively, weekly registrations. Findings Results showed...
Measurement of aerobic fitness by determining peak oxygen consumption ( VO 2peak ) is often not feasible in children and adolescents, thus field tests such as the Andersen test are required many settings, for example most school‐based studies. This study provides cross‐validated prediction equations based on 10 16‐year‐old children. We included 235 (n = 113 10‐year olds 122 16‐year olds) who performed a progressive treadmill to exhaustion determine . Joint sex‐specific were derived tested 20...

There is increasing evidence of a positive association between physical activity (PA) and academic performance. However, few studies include adolescents. PURPOSE: To investigate the effect nine-month, school-based PA cluster-randomized controlled trial, School in Motion (ScIM), on performance 14-year-old METHODS: 29 secondary schools (N=2084) Norway were into three groups A) Physical active learning (PAL) intervention group (n= 10), B) Don't worry - Be Happy (DWBH) (n = 9) or C) control 10)....
Abstract Background: Studies indicate that cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and body composition are associated with mental health. However, research is scarce concerning this relationship in young adolescents general non-existent Norwegian populations specifically. The aim of the study was to examine between different health-related aspects physical fitness self-reported health adolescents. Methods: Participants from four regions Norway (n = 1486; mean age 13.9; girls 50.6%)...
