Notes
- Abstract:
- The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular effects of activities associated with both health-related and sports-related physical education curriculums in eighth grade children following a twelve-week training period. Twenty-seven eighth grade children participated in a health-related physical education curriculum and 27 children participated in a sport-related physical education curriculum. A one-mile run test was performed before and after the 12-week training period. The sport-related curriculum consisted of activities and learning progressions associated with developing motor skill proficiency in sports. The health-related physical education curriculum consisted of activities such as running, aerobic dance, circuit training, and Fartlek training. Classes were 45 minutes. Prior to starting the formal activities, the children performed a 15-minute warm-up routine. Results revealed that there was a significant main effect (F= 1033.263, p < .001) for run times and curriculum. The one-mile run times improved significantly from pre-test (10.809 ± 2.352 min.) to post-test (9.725 ± 2.044 min.) for the health-related curriculum group.
