Summary: This study investigated the associations between teacher engagement behaviors and student physical activity outcomes during active classroom lessons, finding that teacher participation in physical activity and teacher feedback were positively correlated with student activity levels. It highlighted the importance of teacher involvement in successful implementation of school-based interventions and suggested opportunities for maximizing intervention delivery through strategies such as co-designing with teachers.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of physically active lessons (PAL) on the cognitive performance of children. The intervention group showed improved cognitive performance in all tasks over the two-year follow-up, except for visual search. PAL was found to have modest improvements on various cognitive functions in children.

Summary: Fraction Ball is a novel approach to engage children in fraction and decimal number learning through modifying the lines on a basketball court. The study showed that playing Fraction Ball games in physical education classes significantly improved students' understanding of rational numbers. This intervention represents a low-cost and scalable method to promote math learning in an engaging and fun way.

Summary: This study investigates how emotions and motivation influence the academic achievement of physical education students and their future intention to engage in physical activity. The results indicate that teacher support for students' basic psychological needs predicts their satisfaction with these needs, which in turn predicts their autonomous motivation and positive emotions, while negatively predicting negative emotions. Additionally, autonomous motivation is found to predict students' intention to participate in physical activity, and both autonomous motivation and emotions predict academic achievement.

Summary: A physically informed data-driven approach is used to construct a complete mathematical model of an active nematic from experimental data. Elastic effects are found to play no role in the system, with the dynamics controlled entirely by the balance between active stresses and friction stresses.

Summary: This study aimed to compare cognitive functions, cardiorespiratory fitness, and trophic biomarkers in physically active coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and healthy controls. The results showed that despite similar physical activity levels, CHD patients had lower cardiorespiratory fitness, cognitive performances, and BDNF concentrations compared to controls.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationships among achievement emotions, intention to be physically active, and academic achievement in physical education classes. The results showed that different emotions had different impacts on intention to be physically active and academic achievement. Boys had a better emotional experience than girls, and gender played a significant moderating role in enjoyment and pride in the intention to be physically active.

Summary: The study found that teachers adopt physically active learning (PAL) for three main reasons: to enhance teaching and student learning, to adhere to school policy, and because of positive personal experiences. These findings can be used to shape PAL teacher training programs and increase adoption rates.

Summary: The study found that school-based physical activity interventions have a modest positive effect on students' cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity levels, but the effects were not distributed equally across subpopulations. Girls and older students benefited less than boys and younger students. Targeted strategies are needed to address the needs of girls and older students in future interventions.

Summary: This study found associations between psychological difficulties in adolescents and changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and body mass index. Different moderators, such as sex, socioeconomic status, and immigrant status, influenced these associations. Further investigations should address these moderated associations.
