LeAnne Petherick (University of Manitoba) Qualitative interviews with health and education professionals are used to examine school health environments. Findings suggest that inter-professional connections are paramount to successful comprehensive school health initiatives and the benefit to local professional and school communities are worthy of attention. From start to finish: lessons learned through two cycles of the MB Youth Health Survey Tannis Erickson & Kate McGarry (Cancer Care Manitoba) 2013 National Conference: Fields of Plenty, Fields of Play 57
Manitoba has implement two cycles of the Youth Health Survey which collects self report data on health behaviours of youth. Examples of data use and lessons learned in regards to data collection, knowledge exchange, policy/program development, changes in health behaviour and intersectoral collaboration will be explored. The effectiveness of Manitoba s PE policy on trajectories of physical activity among secondary students: a longitudinal analysis Dr. Erin Hobin (Public Health Ontario) Using a time-series design, this study investigates the impact of a secondary school PE policy in Manitoba on measured physical activity and the further influence of studentlevel factors on trajectories of physical activity levels of students in grades 9 through 12 compared to students from a control province. Session 1, Ambassador Room E Chair: Joannie Halas Facilitating knowledge transfer between recreation practitioners and kinesiology students Ashley Johnson, Dr. Nancy Francis, & Dr. Laura Cousens (Brock University) This research presents findings related to a partnership between kinesiology students and recreation practitioners (YMCA) designed to facilitate knowledge transfer among students and faculty at Brock, and practitioners who deliver an after school physical activity program for children ages 6 to 12 years. Ethics for child and youth physical activity and physical education research (Round Table) Dr. Nathan Hall, Dr. Catherine Taylor (University of Winnipeg), & Dr. Joannie Halas (University of Manitoba) Physical education research with children and youth is becoming more difficult. In this presentation experienced researchers and the chair of a university research ethics committee, will discuss the ethical issues related to conducting research with youth and children in physical education/physical activity settings. 10:00 am - 10:45 am Session 2, Ambassador Room A Chair: David Chorney Fighting the good fight? Obesity prevention, the subjective warrant, and physical education Dr. Tim Fletcher (Brock University) & Kellie Baker (Memorial University) We analyze the existence of obesity prevention as a subjective warrant for prospective physical education teachers. This approach has merits, however, there are also concerns about potentially damaging effects obesity messaging can have on children s overall health and the purposes of physical education. Direct and indirect teaching of games: Does epistemology matter? Dr. Ken Lodewyk (Brock University) Direct teaching, sport education, and teaching games for understanding are common and unique contemporary approaches to teaching games. This presentation will serve to highlight epistemological differences among university PE majors relative to their instructional preferences for the teaching of games. 10:00 am - 10:45 am Session 2 Ambassador Room E Chair: Michelle Kilborne 58 2013 National Conference: Fields of Plenty, Fields of Play
Transformational narratives in physical education Dr. Doug Gleddie (University of Alberta) & Dr. Lee Schaefer (University of Regina) Those of us in the field are very much aware of the transformational power of positive experiences in Physical Education. The outcome of this project is to gather a collection of narratives that highlight and illustrate transformational themes through physical education. Community sport and aboriginal youth: Stories from the field (Round Table) Dr. Heather McRae & Wendy Hallgrimson (University of Manitoba) We will share stories drawn from our collective experiences in the fields of community development, recreation and research to highlight key program planning and leadership processes that can enhance the physical and social benefits of community sport for Aboriginal youth. 11:00-12:00am Session 3, Ambassador Room A Chair: LeAnne Petherick 12:00-1:15 pm AGM & Lunch Effective measures of heart rate monitors on students motivation and interest in mandatory P.E. Dr. David Chorney & Stacey Hannay (University of Alberta) Does student motivation increase in mandatory P.E. classes from using heart rate monitors? Our findings have unearthed some exciting results for the P.E. classroom. Offering choices to increase student motivation in secondary physical education Dr. Amanda Campbell (Bridgewater College) Grounded in self-determination theory, this session presents qualitative findings from a larger study examining the impact of activity choice on student motivation in high school PE. I will share recommendations for offering meaningful choices that meet students needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Getting girls in the game: Action research in the gymnasium Dr. Daniel Robinson (St. Francis Xavier University) This paper presents an action research (AR) project focused on improving PE for adolescent females. One researcher, 3 PE teachers, and 13 of their most disengaged students participated in the one-year, two-cycle, AR project. The process/results are offered so that others might recognize the potential of AR within PE.

This study explored children s mental imagery use and ability in school-based physical education class. Mental imagery instruction was integrated into over-arm throwing lessons. Children s imagery ability and imagery use were positively correlated. Increased imagery use was associated with higher ratings of enjoyment. Implementing a telephone based imagery intervention with school children Dr. Craig Hall, Danielle Tobin (Western university), Dr. Krista Munroe-Chandler, & Michelle Guerrero (University of Windsor) The feasibility of implementing a 6 week school based telephone intervention to increase children s levels of active play was examined. Students were randomized into a mental imagery and a control group. Compliance with the study s guidelines for calling was adequate. Both groups scored high on use of imagery. Analyzing gaps in student-athletes understanding of doping in sport Dr. Sarah Teetzel (University of Manitoba) & Dr. Charlene Weaving (St. Francis Xavier University) This presentation discusses a study involving interviews with 38 student-athletes, which identified many inaccurate assumptions about doping in sport. This presentation analyzes the gaps in the participants understanding and suggests where in the high school curriculum this type of information might be included. A qualitative examination of knowledge of doping and anti-doping education among elite US and Canadian female triathletes Dr. Jay Johnson, Dr. Ted Butryn (University of Manitoba), & Dr. Matthew Masucci (San Jose State University) This study investigated the levels, types and sources of knowledge of doping in Canadian and US elite female triathletes, exploring the potential motivating factors to partake in illegal doping, to understand athletes reasons to refrain from doping practices and to inform anti-doping education programs. 1:30-2:45 pm Session 4, Ambassador Room E Chair: Tim Fletcher Dancing toward physical literacy from stage right and stage left: Pedagogical approaches from both physical education and arts teacher educators Dr. Joe Barrett & Dr. Kari-Lynn Winters (Brock University) This presentation aims to start a discussion between physical educators and arts educators.

Open discussion on the role of dance in PHE across Canada This will be an open discussion for all session attendees to weigh in on the topic of dance in PE programs across Canada. It will be a chance to share experiences and ideas regarding the role of dance in PE, and will make up the remainder of this session. 60 2013 National Conference: Fields of Plenty, Fields of Play
3:00-4:00 pm Open Formal Discussion Session This session is open to all CUPR attendees. Dr. Nathan Hall (U Winnipeg), Dr. Nancy Francis (Brock U), Dr. Nick Forsberg (U of Regina) and Michelle Kilborn (Memorial U) will lead a discussion that will focus on graduate student programs in PHE pedagogy across Canada and their importance for the future of CUPR. 4:00-6:00 pm Poster Session / Wine and Cheese This session is open to all CUPR attendees to come and enjoy some wine, cheese, good conversation, and check out some of the excellent research from the posters presented. Poster #1: Curriculum of tensions: Experiences of learning to teach physical education Shannon Funk (University of Regina) This narrative inquiry explores how learning to teach is experienced by pre-service Physical Education teachers during a 16-week internship at urban secondary schools. Stories bring forward significant insights related to learning to teach: personal and professional identity, mentoring, and workplace socialization. Poster #2: A review of physical education teacher socialization research in the 21st century. Stephen Pike (Memorial University) In this presentation I review the literature on PE teacher socialization from 2000-2012. Since 2000, there is evidence of a shift in physical education teachers socializing experiences and there is a need to identify new implications for PE and teacher education practice. Poster #3: Determinants of children s engagement in active free play: A review Lee Homan, Kim, Y., Anderson, S., Zarowny, S., & Dr. Holt, N. L. (University of Alberta) One of the major reasons Canadian children don t engage in sufficient physical activity is because their engagement in active free play has declined. We conducted a literature review and will present our findings related to the determinants of children s engagement in active free play. Poster #4: The aboriginal youth mentorship program Pinar Eskicioglu, Joannie Halas, Stephanie Villeneuve, Chris Monias, Elma McKay, Larry Wood, and Jonathan McGavock (University of Manitoba/Manitoba Institute of Child Health) AYMP was piloted in Garden Hill First Nation to test its efficacy for improving measures of healthy weights. AYMP was successful in attenuating waist circumference. The success of this pilot study provides the foundation for future peer-led school interventions among Aboriginal students in rural communities. Poster #5: Strategic planning for physical education in higher education Jenna Lorusso & Dr. Nancy Francis (Brock University) Despite the profound and widespread concern for the future of higher education physical education, there has been little systematic study on the topic. This research investigated the future by utilizing a two-round interview Delphi method. Five international experts were asked to project possible, probable, preferable and undesirable futures of the academic discipline in fifteen years time; specifically in regards to issues within the undergraduate degree programs, and the research sub-disciplines. Poster #6: Effectiveness of a choice-based whole-school model to increase students motivation towards physical activity and healthy eating Lauren Sulz (University of Victoria) 2013 National Conference: Fields of Plenty, Fields of Play 61
This presentation will share findings related to the impact of a whole-school health model on students motivation to engage in health behaviours. Recommendations for schools to address changes to the school environment, school policies and curriculum, to support healthy practices among students are presented. This presentation will share findings related to the impact of a whole-school health model on students motivation to engage in health behaviours. Recommendations for schools to address changes to the school environment, school policies and curriculum, to support healthy practices among students are presented. Poster #7: Reconceptualizing curriculum and pedagogy in physical education: A wellness-oriented approach Michelle Kilborn (University of Alberta) This presentation will highlight a study that focused on gaining a better understanding of what it means to teach a wellness-oriented physical education curriculum. Key findings demonstrate how non-traditional theoretical perspectives present an alternative approach to addressing the issue of PE curricular reform. Poster #8: Can pedometers really affect change in student s behaviours? A longitudinal study of fourth grade students Cheryl Shinkaruk & Dr. David Chorney (University of Alberta) This session will focus on a research project that attempted to increase physical activity levels and the overall wellness of grade four students with the use of pedometers through teacher and student engagement. Poster #9: Dancing as (re)learning identity Chantale Lussier (Elysian Insight) This presentation will focus on one of the result chapters from my doctoral dissertation on the role of emotion and the body in the creative experience in dance at the Canada Dance Festival. Results suggest that identity in dance is best understood as being subjective, fluid, a verb, and a life-long becoming pursuit. Poster #10: Household food insecurity, physical activity and obesity in Canadian Adolescents Anju Bajaj (Holy Cross School) & Dr. Pawan Singal (University of Manitoba) The rise in childhood obesity and its associated morbidity due to poor lifestyle choices poses a serious public health challenge. It is, therefore, important to identify predictive factors for obesity. We examined relationships among household income, physical activity, food insecurity, lifestyle and nutritional status in Canadian adolescents (12-19 Years). 6:00 pm Conclusion of the 2013 CUPR Forum 62 2013 National Conference: Fields of Plenty, Fields of Play
