Abstract
This study examined the amount of PA (physical activity) students obtain during college PA class-es and reasons for enrolling in classes. Accelerometers measured PA levels of participants (n=66) in nineclasses (archery, flying-disc, jogging, karate, spinning, swing dance, weight-training, Tai Chi, yoga) acrosssix time points during one semester. Only one (flying-disc, period 3) of the 54 class periods accumulatedenough PA to meet PA recommendations. Participants indicated reasons (e.g., increase PA) for takingthe courses. Students did not obtain high levels of PA during course meeting times. College PA instructorsshould design courses to maximize time spent in PA.
