The purpose of this phenomenological case study was to examine the experiences of PETE pre-service teachers, physical education teachers, and teacher educators that have taught physical education in a non-traditional ...
Relationships Between Physical and Mental Health in Rural, Low-Income Adolescents
(2020-06-25)
Studies have consistently reported that environment (i.e., rural vs. urban) and socioeconomic status (SES) are moderating factors of physical health (i.e., obesity and/or physical activity) and mental health (i.e., stress, ...
The Effects of Body Composition on Female Softball Pitching Biomechanics
(2020-11-24)
Additional mass is often considered beneficial for softball pitching performance; however, there may be adverse effects of increased body mass and body fat on softball pitching biomechanics. The purpose of this project was ...
Effects of high-volume and high-intensity resistance training on skeletal muscle ultrastructure
(2020-06-19)
Background: Recently there has been enthusiasm surrounding the differential training adaptations that result from higher-load (HL) versus higher-volume (HV) resistance training. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ...
Secondary Physical Educators’ Grading Outcomes and the Influence of the Environment
(2020-07-21)
