Physical activity and learning disability
British Journal of Nursing, 2012The inclusion of people with learning disabilities in sporting activities promotes a number of positive outcomes. These may include opportunities for social inclusion, the creation of positive role models for other people with learning disabilities, the opportunity to present people with learning disabilities in valued social roles to a global ...

Motoneurones "Learn" and "Forget" Physical Activity
Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005In spite of our knowledge of activity related adaptations in supraspinal neurones and skeletal muscles, very little is known concerning adaptations in α-motoneurones to alterations in chronic activity levels. Recent evidence shows that the biophysical properties of α-motoneurones are plastic and adapt to both increases and decreases in chronic ...

Learning Physical Activities in Immersive Virtual Environments
Fourth IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS'06), 2006This paper describes a framework for constructing a three-dimensional immersive environment that can be used for training physical activities. In the proposed system, an immersive environment is constructed through realistic reconstruction of a scene by applying a stereo algorithm on a set of images that is captured from multiple viewpoints ...

An active learning approach to the physics of medical imaging
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2007This paper describes an experimentally oriented medical imaging course where the students record, process and analyse 3D data of an unknown piece of formalin fixed porcine tissue hidden in agar in order to estimate the tissue types present in a selected 2D slice.

Active kids active minds: a physical activity intervention to promote learning?
Asia-Pacific Journal of Health, Sport and Physical Education, 2014This study assessed the feasibility and impact of introducing a programme of an additional 30 minutes per day of moderate physical activity within curriculum time on learning and readiness to learn in a large elementary school in south-east Queensland, Australia.

RealTime Physics: Active learning laboratory
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1997From the Publisher: This computer-based lab manual contains experiments in mechanics, thermodynamics, E&M, and optics using hardware and software designed to enhance readers' understanding of calculus-based physics concepts. It uses an active learning cycle, including concept overviews, hypothesis-testing, prediction-making, and investigations.

Characterizing active learning environments in physics
2021The vast majority of research involving active learning pedagogies uses passive lecture methods as a baseline. We propose to move beyond such comparisons to understand the mechanisms that make different active learning styles unique. This study uses social network analysis and the Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS) to ...
