Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to assess readiness to become or stay physically active according to the Stages of Change Model.Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted on 100 women working in the healthcare centres of Bandar Abbas, Iran. The sampling method is clustering in type. The subjects were assigned into two groups of intervention and control. The collected data were analysed by SPSS-16 software using descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent-sample t-test, paired-sample t-test and Chi-square test.Results: Before the educational intervention, 19 subjects (0.38%) from the intervention group showed to have regular physical activity (4-5 stages). This number changed to 29 (0.58%) and 25 (0.50%) after three months and six months of intervention. A statistically significant difference was found before the intervention and 3 and 6 months afterwards (P˂.001). In the control group, no statistically significant difference was found between the pre-intervention and post-intervention (three months (P=.351) and six months (P=.687).Conclusion: The educational intervention based on the stages of behaviour change model showed to be effective in promoting the physical activity of employed women. These findings may benefit health education researchers and practitioners who tend to develop innovative theory-based interventions and strategies to increase the level of physical activity in women.

Productive thinking is the cognitive ability to plan, reason logically, analyse, synthesize, evaluate, and make decision to reach at the solution of the problem or we can say that it is the ability by which one can refine their creative work with critical thinking to give strength and value to it. It is a way to solve problems creatively. For this research, a model has been developed called as FIESI (Foundation, Ideation, Evaluation, Stabilization and Implication) for fostering productive thinking. Researchers conducted an experiment to foster productive thinking among VIII standard students with the help of this model as elementary level is delimited to standard VIII. Quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design was used. Two Kendriya Vidyalayas (Central Schools) were selected purposively for experiment purpose. One section of standard VIII from each school was selected as the sample for the experiment and control groups. Students of both the classes were made equivalent on the basis of a science achievement test. The equivalent groups consist of 26 students each. Researchers taught Science to the experimental group for one academic year (2019-2020) using FIESI model and the control group was taught by their regular teachers. Researchers developed and validated a productivethinking test for data collection. Data were analysed using chi-square. The finding revealed that FIESI model was found significant in fostering productive thinking among standard VIII students.

Abstract Background Researchers found that manipulative skill competency in childhood not only help improve physical activity participation, but also help adolescent learn specialized sport skills. This study aimed at examining the effects of an 8-week bilateral-coordinated movement (BCM) intervention on manipulative skill competency in school-aged children.Methods Participants were 314 fourth-grade students in two elementary schools. This study used 2-arm quasi-experimental research design. For one elementary school, two fourth-grade classes were assigned to the BCM group, the other two fourth-grade classes were assigned to the control group. For another elementary school, one fourth-grade class was assigned to the BCM group and another fourth-grade class to the control group. The students in the BCM group received an 8-week, two 40-minute BCM lessons in soccer and another 8-week, two 40-minute BCM lessons in basketball, while the control group received an 8-week, two 40-minute regular PE lessons in soccer and basketball, respectively. Students’ manipulative skill competency in soccer and basketball skills were pre- and post-tested using the two PE Metric assessment rubrics. Data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, ANCOVA and ANOVA repeated measures.Results The results showed a significant main effect of time (pre-test vs. post-test) in soccer skills (F = 273.095, p = .000, 𝜂2 = .468) and in basketball skills (F = 74.619, p = .000, 𝜂2 = .193). Also, the results revealed a significant main effect of group (BCM group vs. control group) in soccer skills (F = 37.532, p = .000, 𝜂2 = .108), marginal significant main effect of group in basketball skills (F = 3.619, p = .058, 𝜂2 = .011). Further, there was significant interaction effect between the time and group in soccer skills (F = 37.532, p = .000, 𝜂2 = .108) and in basketball skills (F = 18.380, p = .000, 𝜂2 = .056).Conclusions It was concluded that after participated in the 8-week, 16 40-min lessons of BCM, the fourth-grade students had greater improvement in soccer and basketball dribbling, passing and receiving skills, compared to the control group.

Background: Modern-day technology is appealing to children. Few studies, however, have conducted longitudinal analyses of a school-based exergaming program’s effect on physical activity (PA) behaviors and fitness in children. Therefore, this study examined the longitudinal effect of an 8-month school-based exergaming intervention on children’s objectively-measured PA and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Materials and Methods: Eighty-one fourth grade students (X̅age = 9.23 ± 0.62; 39 girls; 54.3% African American, 30.9% Non-Hispanic White, 14.8% other) participated in this study from 2014–2015. The intervention school’s children participated in a once-weekly 50-minute exergaming intervention during recess throughout the school year, while the control school continued regular recess. Children’s in-school PA and sedentary behavior (SB) were measured with ActiGraphGT3X+ accelerometers, with CRF assessed via the half-mile run. All measurements were taken at baseline, mid-intervention (four months) and post-intervention (eight months). Repeated-measures two-way ANCOVAs using age and race as covariates were conducted to examine between-school differences over time for SB, light PA (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA), and CRF. Results: Significant time by group interactions were observed for LPA, F(1, 79) = 7.82, η2 = 0.09, p < 0.01, and MVPA, F(1, 79) = 4.58, η2 = 0.06, p < 0.05, as LPA increased among the control group, while MVPA increased among intervention group. Children in both groups experienced decreased SB during the intervention (intervention: −7.63 minutes; control: −17.59 minutes), but demonstrated lower CRF over time (intervention: +46.73 seconds; control: +61.60 seconds). Conclusions: Observations suggested that school-based exergaming implementation may be effective in increasing children’s MVPA and decreasing their SB over the course an academic year (i.e., ~eight months). More research is needed, however, to discern how modifications to school-based exergaming might also promote improved CRF in children.
