Effects of teaching games for understanding on game performance and understanding in middle school physical education

Creator:: Harvey, Stephen
Abstract:: Most students arrive at game-focused physical education (PE) with neither the skills nor the tactical knowledge to be successful (Metzler, 2000). Although the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) approach can enhance both on- and off-the-ball skills in game play performance (Griffin et al., 1995; Harvey et al., in review, Harvey...

Examining the role of relationship characteristics and dynamics on sexual risk behavior among gay male couples

Creator:: Mitchell, Jason W.
Abstract:: Recent estimates indicate that over 50% of gay men acquire HIV from their main sexual partners while in their relationship (Sullivan et al., 2009). Despite this statistic, the majority of research has focused on individual factors as predictors of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) and not on relationship factors. The few...
