Promising Strategy

Purpose: Our purpose was to investigate the effect of generalization of participation in parkour from physical education classes to organized parkour recess. Methods: A total of 143 (64 girls and 79 boys) third-grade elementary school children received a 12-lesson parkour sport education season in physical education. Voluntary participation in five organized parkour recess sessions was investigated. Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) data in physical education, organized parkour recess, and traditional recess were collected. Results: Girls participated significantly more in organized parkour recess compared with boys (53% vs. 35%, p = .034). Boys achieved significantly higher MVPA than girls in physical education (47% vs. 42%, p = .045), organized parkour recess (73% vs. 65%, p = .003), and traditional recess (56% vs. 36%, p < .001). Children generated on average 22% of MVPA through performing parkour-specific skills in organized parkour recess. Conclusion: Generalization of participation from physical education classes to organized recess programs is a promising strategy to increase children’s daily MVPA.

Interpersonal Distance

The grade level at which children become aware of the meaning of interpersonal distance was identified. Photographs showing pairs of adults at the intimate, personal, social, and public distances identified by Hall (1966) were shown to 80 elementary school children. The children, in kindergarten through third grade ( ns = 20), were asked which of four communications corresponding to the above distances were in progress: a secret, discussion of dinner, directions to a store, or a call to dinner. Success in identifying the type of communication was directly related to grade level. Kindergarteners performed at chance level, but success in identification increased thereafter through third grade. However, the meanings of the four distances are not learned en masse. Public distance is identified earliest, intimate distance next, with the intermediate distances being identified last.

Hearing Problems

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
