Cassondra M. Eng; Rachel M. Flynn; Erik D. Thiessen; Anna V. Fisher – Grantee Submission, 2023
Exergames (video games that promote cognitive and physical activity simultaneously) benefit executive function (EF) in elderly populations. It has been suggested that exergames may induce larger effects than cognitive or exercise training alone, but few reviews have synthesized the causal factors of exergames on EF from experimental research with…

Atencio, Matthew; Chow, Jia Yi; Tan, Wee Keat Clara; Lee, Chang Yi Miriam – European Physical Education Review, 2014
This paper describes several practical activities that reveal how complex and nonlinear pedagogies might underpin primary physical education and school sport lessons. These sample activities, involving track and field, tennis and netball components, are designed to incorporate states of stability and instability through the modification of task…

Chen, Ang; Martin, Robert; Sun, Haichun; Ennis, Catherine D. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2007
Constructivist physical education emphasizes cognitive engagement. This study examined the impact of a constructivist curriculum on in-class physical activity. Caloric expenditure in metabolic equivalents (MET) and vector magnitude count (VM) data from a random sample of 41 constructivist lessons were compared with those from a random sample of 35…

Agnew, Patricia N.; Young, Richard D. – 1979
In addition to the prominent characteristics of high activity level, three other criteria are often used in identifying and understanding the hyperactive child. These criteria are impulsivity and cognitive tempo, cognitive immaturity and verbal mediation, and self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that third, fourth and fifth…
