Purpose
This study compared existing Oregon elementary school physical
education facilities and equipment with those facilities and equipment
items perceived to be essential for a quality physical education program
by nationally selected physical education specialists.
Procedures
A survey form was mailed to 110 national educators proposed by
state directors of...
Field tests are often the most practical method to assess aerobic fitness, but
demonstrate greater error variability than laboratory tests. Researchers can improve
field tests by identifying factors that contribute to systematic error in VO₂max
estimation. PURPOSE: To examine the validity and reliability evidence of two field
tests of aerobic...
The determination of the number and locations of optimal supply
points in centralized distribution systems is considered from both
theoretical and institutional aspects.
The Euclidean distance problems that typify the theoretical
school of location search are discussed and seven different solution
techniques are investigated: the Torricelli, linear programming,
exhaustive search,...
The failure of cutbanks is a major problem encountered by those
who construct low-cost roads in naturally forested residual soils.
Attempts have been made to lessen the severity of failures by classifying
certain soil areas as to their susceptibility to failure, in
addition to bringing past design experience into play...
In Part I the environment of the coastal dunes of Oregon and Washington is analyzed. Most of the substratum is a narrow foreland or terrace, in part submerged, that borders the mountain front. Temperature is relatively low in summer and rarely reaches the freezing point in winter. Winter precipitation is...
The promotion of out of school physical activity during physical education has received increasing attention as a tool for combating increasing sedentary time among youth. Qualitative work has shown that physical education teachers feel they lack the knowledge necessary to include physical activity promotion in their lessons and unprepared by...
Physical Activity (PA) has been shown to significantly improve the overall health of adolescents. The health dimensions that are positively influenced by a consistent level of PA are multiple and range from body composition, chronic diseases management (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.), chronic pain, and mental health (depression, anxiety, etc.). The...
Ninety-two physicians from six different medical specialty
areas were participants in an opinion survey concerning corporate
executive fitness. The survey was comprised of 21 statements
related to such areas as fitness, nutrition, implementation
of specific programs and cost effectiveness. Descriptive
research methods were utilized to analyze results.
Physicians surveyed were...
The physical framework or matrix in which the biological processes of aquatic ecosystems occur is currently under investigation at the Castle Lake Research Station. Special attention has been given these physical parameters in view of their close interrelationship with important biological properties within the lake (as exemplified by the rate...
