Physical Activity Preferences of Elementary Children
Get PDFThe current study investigated activity preferences of elementary-age students. It was hypothesized that gender differences would exist, with boys preferring competitive activities and girls preferring more cooperative activities. The results proved a significant relationship did exist between male students and activity type, as nearly 80 % of male students preferred competitive or elimination games over fitness and cooperative games. There was no significant relationship, however, between female students and activity type, as females didn’t show a preference between the two activity types. The present study also provides practical information for those physical educators wishing to avoid being gender-biased when designing and implementing their physical education lessons and programs

Athletic Training and Sports Psychology: A Survey of Texas High School Athletic Trainers
Get PDFAs a result of their role in the athletes’ recovery, athletic trainers should have an understanding of the many aspects involved in the psychological effect of an injury, and how to assist an athlete in their psychological recovery. This includes the components of injury, factors affecting recovery, psychosocial intervention strategies, counseling, and referral. The purpose of this study was to survey licensed athletic trainers in Texas 5 A high schools relating to psychological issues and psychological techniques used in treating and rehabilitating injured athletes. 180 surveys were returned from 128 (51%) out of 250 Texas 5A high schools. Athletic trainers responded to referral information, athletes’ responses to injury, characteristics of athletes dealing with injuries, psychological techniques used, and those important to learn more about. The results of this study reflect the athletic trainers’ ability to recognize the psychological effects of an injury and the need for additional sports psychology training

An Examination of the Theoretical Orientation to Reading Profile (TORP): Results of Selected Graduate Students in a Literacy Course
Get PDFThis survey research study was utilized to explore participants’ views and knowledge of balanced literacy programs before and after a 45-hour graduate level literacy course and to document any changes using the Theoretical Orientation to Reading Profile (TORP; Deford, 1985) questionnaire. The TORP’s main purpose is to designate the philosophical position of individuals on their preferences to teaching reading. The TORP examines orientation to phonics, skills, and whole language. Twenty-seven participants who designated themselves either as established school administrators or graduate students pursuing Master’s degrees in Educational Leadership or Reading were surveyed at the beginning and end of the course to examine their philosophical inclinations to the teaching of reading instruction. The data collected reflected information that administrators will be able to consider when choosing effective reading programs for their educational institution

A Study of Menarche in Athletes Participating in Common Public School Sports
Get PDFThe number of women and young girls participating in sports has grown significantly since the passage of Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972. The female athlete derives many benefits from exercise; however, women are also a group that is at special risk because of the few negative effects of exercise on the reproductive and skeletal systems. Risks involved in increased physical activity include several forms of menstrual irregularities. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship existed between athletic training, at a less intense level than those in previous studies such as ballet dancers and gymnast, before menarche and age of menarche. Results showed that a relationship did exist between age of menarche of the common sport participation sample and the age of menarche of the national population. In addition, significant differences were found to exist within the sample between menarche and current weight, and between menarche and age at starting sports participation. A secondary analysis found that females in the current study, who started menarche on or before the age of 12.1 years, the national average, had a current mean weight higher than those individuals that started menarche after 12.1 years old. The results also showed that the athletes in this sample, who started playing sports before the age of 6, had a mean age of menarche of 13.1 which is significantly different from the national average, while the athletes who did not start participation until after the age of 6 had a mean menarche age of 11.85, which was not significantly different from the national average
