Qualitative Exploration

Resilience refers to findings that some individuals have good outcomes despite exposure to stressors, and protective factors are defined as influences that alter a person’s response to such stressors. Academic resilience research identifies factors that promote positive educational outcomes; however, no research to date investigates student resilience in the unique context of physical education. The current study sought to explore protective factors that alter secondary school students’ responses to the common stressors associated with physical education participation. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with six teachers and 54 students, and transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. In line with the conceptualisation of protective factors, higher-order themes of individual assets and environmental factors were identified. Individual assets included personality, cognitive factors (e.g. value of physical education activities) and behavioural factors (e.g. attending extra-curricular activities). Environmental factors included teacher and peer support and the relative importance of physical education promoted by the school and parents.

The purpose of this study was to assess trends in physical education and physical activity among U.S. high school students from 2011 to 2017, respectively, and to evaluate temporal trends in the relationship between physical education class participation and physical activity levels. Data from a total of 51,616 high school students who participated in the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed for this study. Physical education was measured as follows: In an average week when you are in school, on how many days do you go to physical education classes? Physical activity was measured as follows: During the past 7 days, on how many days were you physically active for a total of at least 60 min per day? Meeting physical activity guideline was defined as engaging in 7 days per week of at least 60 min per day. Across the 2011–2017 YRBSS, there were no linear (p = 0.44)/quadratic trends (p = 0.37) in physical education and linear (p = 0.27)/quadratic trends (p = 0.25) in physical activity, respectively. Regarding the trends in the association between physical education and physical activity, there were no statistically significant linear (unstandardized regression coefficient (b) = 0.013, p = 0.43) or quadratic (p = 0.75) trends; however, at the sample level, there was a slight increase in the odds ratio effect sizes from 2011 to 2017 (ES = 1.80–1.98). The pooled association between physical education participation and physical activity was statistically significant, OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.75–2.03, p < 0.001. That is, on average across the four YRBSS cycles, students who participated in physical education had 1.88 times higher odds of meeting physical activity guideline when compared to students who did not participate in physical education. The trends of physical education and physical activity did not change between 2011 and 2017. Overall, we observed a significant relationship between participation in physical education and physical activity. There was a non-significant yet stable trend of association between participation in physical education and physical activity over time.

In recent times, research that has traditionally concerned itself with children ‘at risk’ has been supplemented by studies which have concentrated on the characteristics of those children who display resilient behaviours despite the presence of negative individual, family or environmental factors. A range of internal and external ‘protective factors’ that contribute to childhood resilience has been identified in the literature.The research being presented here reports on one phase of a longitudinal study that is tracking children originally identified as displaying resilient or non-resilient behaviour. After one year, the persistence of resilient or non-resilient behaviours is noted among the 55 children in the study; the incidence of changed behaviour – either from resilience to non-resilience or vice versa – is low. Case studies of three children are used to illustrate the trends in the findings and to provide real examples of how the presence or absence of protective factors impact on the lives of real children.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.The purpose of this study was to collect preliminary physical activity data of Hong Kong secondary school students during their physical education lessons, extra-curricular activity, and the whole regular school days. Physical activity was measured in terms of the step count device - pedometer. Preliminary findings suggested that gender difference existed and diversified trends were observed. Further investigations were necessary to understand the underlying factors in order to promote physical activity in school settings.本文旨在收集本港中學生於體育課及課外活動時的身體活動量，作為初步的數據，以便日後進行全面性的研究。我們利用步數記錄儀量度身體的活動量，發現男生的活動量大大超越女生，而且觀察到不尋常的趨勢，值得我們關注。

Adolescents are at high risk of suicidal ideation and stress. This study aimed to investigate how physical education participation predicts suicidal ideation and stress in South Korean high school students. Data from the Twelfth Korea Youth Risk Behaviour Web-Based Survey 2016 (KYRBS) were used for analyses. Two multiple logistic regressions were performed to determine the influence of selected factors on suicidal ideation and stress (model 1: subjective health, social support, body mass index, academic achievement, perceived economic status of family, and physical education participation; model 2: adjusting for school type and year). Model 2 revealed negative associations between subjective health, academic achievement, perceived economic status of family, social support, physical education participation (≥2 times/weekly), and suicidal ideation for male students. Female students exhibited negative associations between subjective health, social support, and academic achievement, along with a positive association between body mass index and suicidal ideation. For both genders, stress was negatively associated with subjective health, social support, academic achievement, perceived economic status of family, and physical education participation (≥2 times/weekly). These findings suggest that participating in physical education can mitigate the risk of suicidal ideation and stress among high school students.

ABSTRACT Introduction: It is not unusual that students do not like physical education. It has become a common educational phenomenon in current school physical education. Students have become less participative in physical education, serious and cold, less enjoyable, and stressed. The emergence of this series of changes is not entirely a matter of student attitudes. Objective: Aiming at school students who like sports but do not fall in love with physical education, participation quality continues to decline, students do not exercise themselves, and have no concept of exercise load. This research aims to learn and master the knowledge and skills of physical exercise through a digital fitness teaching system, effectively improve students’ scientific exercise ability, mobilize students’ hobbies to actively participate in physical exercise, improve the unscientific physical exercise habits of students in the past, promote students’ physical and mental health, and lay the foundation for lifelong physical education. Methods: The methods studied in this article mainly include an experimental method, document method, expert interview method, questionnaire survey method, mathematical analysis method and other methods. Results: After two weeks of experimental preparation and ten weeks of teaching experiments to develop students’ physical exercise ability, the students’ aerobic exercise ability has been steadily improved. Through the digital fitness teaching system, students’ interest in participating in physical exercise is strengthened and the cultivation of sports emotions and physical habits, improving the school's physical exercise environment and meeting students’ physical exercise needs. Conclusions: The digital fitness teaching system is in the development and test stage. The first generation of digital fitness bikes has many problems with hardware and software. As an important supplementary form of school physical education under the new situation, this system greatly promotes students’ lifelong physical education and learning scientific physical exercise. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
