Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport Survey

Many changes have taken place in the format and operation of the Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (RQES) in recent years. The purpose of this study was to survey the section editors, reviewers, authors, and subscribers of the RQES to determine their perceptions of its quality. An inventory was developed for each of the four groups. The content validity of the instrument was established in three stages, the last stage occurring during a pilot study. The return rate for the four groups ranged from 61% to 80%. In many respects, the RQES was rated positively. However, several problem areas were identified. One was the difficulty in adequately representing all areas of specialization in physical education. Another was the perception of the quality of research published in the journal. In some areas, the best research was viewed as being published in other journals. The new section editor format has been well-received, as have many other changes made over the past decade. The issue of primary concern is whether the journal can maintain academic respectability by attempting to represent all subdisciplines in the field.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in cognition between acute bouts of resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, and a nonexercise control in an untrained youth sample. Method: Ninety-four participants performed 30 min of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, or nonexercise separated by 7 days each in a randomized crossover design. After each exercise intervention, participants were assessed using 2 cognitive tests. The Dot, Word, and Color elements of the Stroop Test (Victoria version) and Parts A and B of the Trail-Making Test were used to measure cognition. Results: Acute resistance and aerobic exercise resulted in similar improvements over nonexercise in all forms of the Stroop Test. Acute aerobic exercise led to improved performance over nonexercise and resistance exercise in Part B of the Trail-Making Test. Neither exercise intervention showed significant changes in time to complete Part A of the Trail-Making Test. Boys outperformed girls on the Stroop Dot and Color Test following acute aerobic exercise, in the Stroop Dot, Word, and Color Test following acute resistance exercise, and in the Stroop Color Test and Trail-Making Test Part B following nonexercise. Conclusions: Both acute resistance and aerobic exercise increased measures of cognition over a nonexercise control in untrained high school youth. These findings suggest the merits of acute resistance exercise as an alternative or complement to aerobic activity for educators aiming to increase youth physical activity and cognitive function concurrently.     

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport Lecture Statewide Physical Fitness Testing

Statewide physical fitness testing is gaining popularity in the United States because of increased childhood obesity levels, the relations between physical fitness and academic performance, and the hypothesized relations between adult characteristics and childhood physical activity, physical fitness, and health behaviors. Large-scale physical fitness testing can be fraught with problems unless properly planned and conducted. Legislators, administrators, teachers, and parents should consider the following 10 essential issues when conducting large-scale physical fitness testing: purpose of testing, proper planning, training, quality of the data, reporting, support, costs, interpretation, programmatic matters, and policies and politics.
