Employing the Health Related Fitness Model Improves Secondary Student Fitness Ooksang Cho Bonnie Tjeerdsma Blankenship Alan L.Smith Thomas J. Templin Purdue University
NASPE Standard for PE (Standard 4) Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness (NASPE 2004) Students’ Fitness Development Cardiovascular Condition, Muscle, Flexibility In-service PE Teachers Lack of HRF Knowledge – Fitness Component, Setting Goal, Design Program Healthy People 2020 School-based PE program (USDHHS, 2010) Background
Purpose of the study [Student] [HRF Model] Supports for Fitness Instruction Fitness Level Cardiovascular HRF Workshop Muscle Endurance Fitness Room Muscle Strength HRF Curriculum Flexibility
Research Questions • Are students’ fitness levels including cardiovascular fitness, • muscle endurance, muscle strength, and flexibility improved • by the application of the HRF curriculum? • 2) Does this impact differ by school/grade level?
Phases of the Study Students’ Fitness Development PEP Grant Ongoing Supports from PEP team Applying HRF Model Fitness Components Cardiovascular Condition Muscle Strength Muscle Endurance Flexibility HRF Professional Development 2-day Workshop Books & Academic Supports Curriculum Binder Lesson Script Fitness Rooms / Machines
Participants/School Setting Students (MS, N=431) PE Teachers (MS, N=4) Age: 23-58 Teaching Experience: 1-32 Yrs Grade: 6th – 8th 712 Boys & 711 Girls PE Teachers (JH, N=4) Students (JH, N=982)
Data Collection Pre- and Post- Test Data Management Teachers stored all data using FITNESSGRAM. Researchers created students’ fitness reports and printed them out. Selected Components of FITNESSGRAM 1. PACER (Cardio) 2. Sit-UP (Muscle Strength & Muscle Endurance) 3. Push-Up (Muscle Strength & Muscle Endurance) 4. Curl-Up (Muscle Strength & Muscle Endurance) 5. Sit & Reach (Flexibility) FITNESSGRAM HRF Model Muscle Strength Muscle Endurance Cardio- Vascular Flexibility
Data Analysis 2 (School) X 2 (Time) RM ANOVA (FITNESSGRAM) Muscle Strength Pre-Test Post-Test Muscle Endurance Cardiovascular Condition Flexibility Changes of Students’ Fitness Conditions
Results ■ 2 X 2 RM ANOVA (Output) **p < .01 Junior High School improved more than Middle School on 3 elements
Conclusion HRF Model Students’ Fitness Development Teacher PD
Discussion/Limitations 1) No control group HRF Model Students’ Fitness Condition Teachers’ HRF Knowledge
