An Updated View of University-based Service-learning in Adapted Physical Activity: Instructor-reported use of Best Practices, Challenges and Supports

Creator:: Case, Layne K.
Abstract:: Adapted physical activity and education (APA/APE) service-learning has received considerable attention as a training tool to prepare undergraduate students, including preservice physical education teachers, to work with people with disabilities (Hodge, 1998; Rowe & Stutts, 1987; Taliaferro et al., 2015).

The Effect of Zumbini® on Physical Activity of Young Children with and without Disabilities

Creator:: Chang, Chun-Wei
Abstract:: Physical activity is important for young children with and without disabilities. However, recent investigations have found that young children with and without disabilities spend less time in physical activity than is recommended. Family and music factors have been shown to positively affect physical activity of this population in previous studies....

Disparities in Physical Activity Experienced by Children with Disabilities: Secondary Analysis of the National Survey of Children’s Health 2016-2017

Creator:: Ross, Samantha Mae
Abstract:: Children with disabilities report some of the lowest physical activity (PA) levels among U.S. children. Estimating the magnitude of PA disparities has been previously challenged by underreporting and variability in subsampling of children with disabilities. The present research leverages the redesigned National Survey of Children’s Health to estimate population-level disparities...

The Role that Parents Play in the Development of Physical Activity Behaviors and Motor Skill Development in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Ku, Byungmo
Abstract:: Young children with developmental disabilities (< 12 years old) participate less in physical activity (PA) and experience motor skill deficits compared to young children without disabilities (Jung, Leung, Schram, & Yun, 2018; Liu, Hamilton, Davis, & ElGarhy, 2014; Whyatt & Craig, 2012). When taking account of a bi-directional relationship between...

Driving Towards Independence : Total Dosage and Daily Usage of a Progressive Modified Ride-On Car Intervention for Young Children with Down Syndrome

Creator:: Hospodar, Christina M.
Abstract:: Purpose: Children with Down syndrome (DS) may have limited opportunities to engage in independent mobility at the same age as their typically developing peers due to motor delays. The primary purpose of this study was to examine two activity-oriented outcomes - (1) onset of independent driving, and (2) onset of...

The Development and Evaluation of the Tennis Shirt Pattern for a Wheelchair Tennis Player in a CAD Program

Creator:: Jin, HeeJae
Abstract:: This study was to develop and evaluate a shirt pattern for a wheelchair tennis player to improve comfort using reducing garment strain using a CAD program. For that, seven body movements related to garment strain during play were analyzed. In order to develop a pattern, a morphological matrix was used...

Differences in University Students' Self-Determined Motivation, Perceived Competence, and Physical Activity Behavior at Institutions with Either a Required or an Elective Physical Activity Education Policy

Creator:: Kim, MooSong
Abstract:: The overarching premise of this dissertation is to understand how different college and university physical activity education policies affect college and university students. Fundamentally, some American colleges and universities require their students to complete a physical activity education requirement whereas others do not.

Predicting School Readiness Using Motor Skill Proficiency of At-Risk Preschoolers

Creator:: Tepfer, Amanda Taek Soon
Abstract:: Background: Early childhood is filled with incredible growth in all areas of development and offers a critical period for optimal learning (Lerner, 2002). During this critical period both motor skills (Bouffard, Watkinson, Thompson, Causgrove Dunn, & Romanow, 1996; Clark & Metcalfe, 2002; Lubans, Morgan, Cliff, Barnett, & Okely, 2010; Stodden...
