Abstract
Background and Objective Several reviews have summarised studies on secondary school students' moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in physical education (PE), but no systematic review with semiquantitative assessment has been conducted to specifically identify the correlates of their MVPA. This review aims to systematically summarise the existing literature, which investigated correlates of MVPA of secondary school students during their PE lessons. Methods A systematic search using ERIC, SPORTDiscus, PubMed, PsycINFO, Academic Search Premier, and Web of Science was conducted to identify the correlates of the MVPA of secondary school students in PE. Studies were eligible if they were English published articles and examined the association with MVPA during secondary school PE lessons and cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal quantitative studies. Two reviewers independently examined the articles, assessed their methodological quality, and performed data extraction. The correlates of MVPA were synthesised and further assessed semiquantitatively. Results Fifty-five studies were identified to correlate with secondary school students' MVPA in PE lessons. Further analysis only included 43 studies (78.2%) that were of medium and high quality by methodological quality assessment. Out of 54 variables identified from these medium and high-quality studies, 11 were consistently associated with the MVPA. Sex (boys), ethnicity (White), class gender (boys-only), PE activities (team games), lesson location (outdoors), expectancy beliefs, subjective task values, and enjoyment were consistently and positively associated with MVPA. Other variables, namely, class gender (girls-only), PE activities (movement activities), and lesson context (knowledge), were consistently and negatively related to MVPA. Conclusions Interventions focusing on the consistent variables are needed to build active lesson time in PE. This review also provides insights for future research.
Highlights
The data of specialists show the presence of negative deterioration dynamics of physical health and physical fitness of modern students starting from the beginning of their studies at universities (Kubieva, et al, 2019; Druz, et al, 2017)
As classes of Anti Gravity fitness are recommended for persons with a developed vestibular apparatus and those who do not have injuries and diseases of musculoskeletal system, girls with experience in fitness aerobics and good health were selected for research
Our studies have revealed a significant advantage in terms of maintaining a static body balance (Flamingo balance test) in favor of female students from group No2 who practiced Anti Gravity fitness
Summary
The data of specialists show the presence of negative deterioration dynamics of physical health and physical fitness of modern students starting from the beginning of their studies at universities (Kubieva, et al, 2019; Druz, et al, 2017). A. De Lion points out that there is no general consensus about effective and quick solutions to this problem along with the unanimous opinion of specialists about the lack of РА among young people and students. Experts recommend paying their attention to the needs and requirements of modern young people who visit fitness centers and clubs regularly (Farakhutdinov, & Sheregova, 2018). The use of data analysis of students' requests and practical experience of fitness trainers will modernize the process of physical education (PE) at universities significantly. It should be noted that experts recommend PE process should be upgraded in higher education institutions by developing and putting into practice PE effective fitness techniques that include various types of fitness (Shuba, & Shuba, 2017; Ilnitskaya, et al, 2014). The aim of using various fitness programs in PE practice is to declare: fighting obesity increasing cardiorespiratory fitness (Osipov, et al, 2018) developing strength and flexibility of body joints (Vashchuk, et al, 2018)
