Physical Education
Overview: According to the U.S. National Standards for Physical Education, physical activity is an important goal for physical education majors and will significantly influence their health. However, the physical activity levels of physical education majors are largely unknown as are the motivational reasons and beliefs that may influence their activity. The purpose of this research is to expand by examining the interrelationships between motivation, beliefs, physical activity and fitness in physical education majors. Findings will be presented at SRU and national conferences, and for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. This project will bolster collaboration between investigators on similar research projects within the university and will provide pilot data for future grant support for prospective physical activity studies and physical activity interventions in this population.
