A Curriculum Design For The Incorporation Of Adventure Education Into Secondary School Health Education To Achieve Lifelong Wellness, Brenda J. Weis

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This Alternate Plan Paper is a curriculum design for the incorporation of adventure education into secondary school health education to achieve lifelong wellness. Several schools have already established adventure-based programs in courses other than health education which have proven to be highly effective and successful (Hopkins and Putnam, 1993; Moore, 1986; Siedentop, Mand, and Taggart, 1986). For example, many physical education classes include outdoor adventure activities as a curricular alternative for conventional sports and games. However, at this time, there is no conclusive evidence that an adventure education program has been integrated into a health education curriculum.

Therefore, the intent …

A Comparison Of Measures In Physical Fitness And Biological Maturity Between Female Gymnasts And Females Not Involved In Organized Sport, Cara Kokenes

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in physical fitness and biological development between two groups of twelve year old females. One group consisted of idividuals who had been involved in competitive sport for at least two years while the other group was not involved in organized sport. Two groups of 20 subjects were examined in terms of height, weight, flexibility, strength, body composition, maturation, eating attitudes, and cardiorespiratory endurance. The results indicated that the gymnasts were significantly (p<.05) shorter, lighter, stronger in regard to left hand grip strength, lower in percent body fat, less biologically mature, and had greater cardiorespiratory fitness than the non-gymnasts. No significant differences were observed in right hand grip strength or eating attitudes. It was concluded that maturation level as well as gymnastic training played a major role in influencing values obtained through measurements of physical fitness.

Motivational Levels Of School-Aged Children After Participation In An Outdoor Education Experience, Timothy Eugene Speicher

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

How can we motivate our children to be active? This question has received significant attention in the past 20 years in our society and throughout the world. In days past, this question was not one of concern, as the children were working hard to help their families sustain their farms or businesses. Children often looked at their time away from family responsibilities as time to escape outdoors to play and have fun. Unfortunately, there has been a shift in our culture within the past 20 years towards a more sedentary type of lifestyle, embracing technology with all its time saving …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Domestic violence is receiving increasing attention in the media, communities, and classrooms across the country. It is suggested a minimum of from 2 to 3 million women are assaulted by male partners each year in the United States. More than 3 out of every 100 or 1.8 million women were severely assaulted as they were kicked, punched, choked, beaten, threatened with a knife or gun, or had a knife or gun used on them. The contribution of alcohol or drugs to this phenomena is frequently acknowledged but rarely examined in detail. This paper reports the incidence of domestic violence among …
