- The Influence of Physical Education Lesson Context and Teacher Behaviour on Student Physical Activity in Mexico Hoda Gharib Karla I. Galavíz Rebecca E. Lee Margarita Safdie Lizbeth Tolentino Símon Barquera Lucie Lévesque Salud MVPA SOFIT youth policies Abstract. Objective: To explore the influence of physical education (PE) lesson context and teacher behaviour on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in Mexican children during PE class. Methods: Trained observers rated the physical activity intensity (lying do wn, sitting, standing, walking, vigorous movement) of 232 students from grades 3 to 5, PE lesson context (management, general knowledge, fitness knowl edge, fitness, skill practice, game play, free play), and teacher behaviour (promoting fitness, demonstrating, instructing, observing, managing, oth er task) during PE class in 20 public elementary schools in Mexico City using the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT). Regressions wit h backward elimination were conducted. Results: Class duration was on average 33.6 minutes (SD=7.9 ). Boys (M =14.8 min, SD =6.8) spent more time in MVPA than girls (M =12.6 min, SD =6.1; p <.01). For boys, a model including game play ( β = 1.04, p <.001), skill practice ( β =.54, p <.01), and fitness ( β =.53, p <.05) explained 45% of the variance in MVPA ( p <.05). For girls, a model including fitness ( β = .49, p <.05), fitness knowledge ( β = .19, p <.05), and other task ( β =.35, p <.05) explained 38% of the variance in MVPA ( p <.05). Conclusion: Strategies and policies aimed at improving child physical activity levels during PE class should endorse the effective instruction and execution of fitness, game play, skill practice an d PE lesson contexts. 2015 artículo científico 1579-1726 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=345741428029 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3457 RETOS.
