Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8-week health related physical education course (HRFPEC) intervention on 9th grade students’ health related fitness knowledge (HRFK) level, physical activity level (PAL) and physical fitness levels. An experimental research design with two groups as HRFPEC and skill based physical education course with 154 students from conveniently assigned classes were measured before and after intervention. While experimental group attended the HRFPEC intervention, comparison group attended skill based physical education course intervention. Quantitative data were gathered from Health Related Fitness Knowledge Test (HRFKT), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Fitnessgram tests (Left & right leg Flexibility, Push-up, Pacer, Curl-up and BMI). Data gathered from HRFKT and IPAQ were analyzed by mixed design multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and data gathered from Fitnessgram testes were analyzed by mixed design analysis of variance (ANOVA). The knowledge test results revealed significant effect of HRFPEC intervention on students’ cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance, training principles and general health knowledge parameters of HRFKT. Intervention was also significantly effective for increasing the low and vigorous PAL of participants. Lastly the HRFPE intervention significantly affected right leg flexibility, pacer cardiovascular, curl-up muscular endurance, and BMI positively. All these results demonstrated the effect of HRFPE intervention on developing students HRFK level, physical activity behavior and physical fitness tests performances. This study revealed that HRFPE course interventions could be designed and implemented by physical education teacher in real school settings. Further recommendations were discussed regarding the content and implementation of intervention for physical education teachers, curriculum specialists, and national ministry of education and for future studies.

Doğan, Uğur; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2016)
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical activity level and academic achievement in high school students. This study is limited with grade 9-12 high school students in Kastamonu. There are 16 high schools and 8244 students in Kastamonu. The schools have divided into four randomly. Four of them have chosen for grade 9, four of them have chosen for grade 10, four of them have chosen for grade 11 and four of them have chosen for grades 12. Two classes were chosen randomly...
Analysis of academic learning time in physical education classes of prospective and inservice teachers
Yıldırım, Ahmet; Kirazcı, Sadettin; Çiçek, Şeref; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2003)
One of the important characteristics of effective teaching is to devote sufficient time to appropriate physical activity in physical education classes. The purpose of this study was to compare teaching effectiveness of prospective and in-service teachers in relation to student behaviors, course content activities and Academic Learning Time in Physical Education (ALT-PE) scores. Participants were 26 prospective and 28 in-service physical education teachers. Forty-minute regular lessons (n=54) of each teacher...
Impact of Social-Ecologic Intervention on Physical Activity Knowledge and Behaviors of Rural Students
CENGİZ, CEVDET; İnce, Mustafa Levent (Human Kinetics, 2014-11-01)
Background: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a social-ecologic intervention on health-related fitness (HRF) knowledge and behaviors of students (n = 62) living in rural areas. Methods: A prepost test control group design was constructed. In addition, qualitative data were collected by focus group discussions in the experimental group. Physical activity environment of a middle school was changed based on the social-ecologic model (SEM) with a focus on intrapersonal, interpersonal, com...
Effects of swiss ball training on knee joint reposition sense, core strength and dynamic balance in sedentary collegiate students
Cuğ, Mutlu; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Swiss ball training on (1) knee joint reposition sense (knee proprioception), (2) core muscle strength and (3) dynamic balance in sedentary collegiate students. In this thesis, two different participant groups and two different training methods were used. In order to evaluate the effect of Swiss ball training on knee proprioception and core strength, 3 days per week training was conducted throughout 10 weeks (Study 1). In order to evaluate the effe...
