Implementation of a PAP Index in High School and College: A Way to Foster Students' Physical Literacy
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v93 n8 p7-14 2022
One part of becoming physical-activity literate is for students to learn how to monitor and regulate their physical activity practice (PAP). Godbout and Nadeau (2021) have recently put forward a simple, yet useful and novel procedure for helping older students (high school and college) monitor their PAP level. In so doing, the student considers the intensity, frequency, duration (time) and type of activity performed, the four components of the FITT formula. According to the intensity of the activity, one of four correction factors is applied (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00). Based on data recorded in a log, a PAP index is computed using the Physical-Activity-Practice Corrected Hour (PAP-CH) as unit of measurement. Reflecting on their physical activity log and resulting PAP index over a few weeks, students can establish their physical activity profile and regulate it if necessary.
