ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SCHOOL-BASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN LOW-INCOME URBAN STUDENTS

Abstract Details

2018, PHD, Kent State University, College of Public Health.
The title of this dissertation is “Assessing the Effectiveness of School-based Physical activity in Low-Income Urban Students.” The three manuscripts form a cohesive body of work that has investigated the effectiveness of physical education (PE) programs on physical activity (PA) among elementary school children in a low-income urban community. These three manuscripts are strongly connected to the theme of the dissertation and lead to finding a “collective meaning” of the projects. Each study investigates a particular study objective and finds significant evidence for school-based PA promotion. Each manuscript describes the research imperatives, knowledge gaps, and articulates future research. Here are these articles below: Physical Activity Levels of Inner-city Public Elementary Students during Regular Physical Education: An observational research study using SOFIT Using Structural Equation Modeling to Examine the Mediating Effects of Perceived Parent, Peer, and Teacher Support between Social Cognitive Variables and Physical Activity among Low-Income Primary students Investigating the Influence of Teacher’s Motivation Types and Resource Utilization in Physical Education on Elementary Students’ Leisure-Time Physical Activity: A Multilevel Analysis
