    The aim of the activity is to encourage children to participate in more physical activities to help them keep healthy. The activity should be very effective because all the activities included were chosen from the most frequently used items at play times. This will not only help the children to realise that physical activity can be fun but that there are various different things you can do to keep active. The activity will help to teach the children that healthy lifestyles are important because some of the children will noticeably become tired quicker than others. This will help to explain to the children that if they do not keep active they may not be as healthy as they need to be.…

    “Assessment of Physical Activity Levels of 3rd and 4th Grade Children Using Pedometers during Physical Education Class” 1. This research study was also found on the ERIC database. After reading and analyzing two studies that discussed strategies on encouraging physical activity and/or education in the schools, the importance of who is teaching the class, and then also the support the school gets for physical activity, I found this study interesting since it dealt with the actual physical education class and what the children were actually getting out of the class. A school may have physical education classes but if the students are not benefitting from the thirty to forty-five minutes spent in the class, then it does them no good. I searched…

    The self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) has been widely applied to physical activity highlighting that an individual’s levels of personal motivation can have quite a significant impact on their physical activity and psychological functioning. (Ntoumanis, Edmunds & Duda, 2009). The self-determination theory is a macro-theory that explores what regulates motivation and whether certain behaviours are autonomous or self-regulated. Three essential and universal psychological needs are established, these being autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and these needs are essential for development.

Luckily, we were able to catch up with measurements of the children the following day.…
