 FINDINGS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTSPAPERS REVIEWED.
Country Author Academic Level Sports/Physical Education Design Findings
USA Fredricks and Eccles (2008) 7th grade school clubs, an organised school sports team, and an out-of-school recreational activity analysis of covariance techniques Organised activity participation was associated with higher than expected grades, school value (i.e. perception of the importance of school for the future), self-esteem, resiliency, and prosocial peers, and lower than expected risky behaviour
USA Pellegrini et al. (1995) Kindergarten, Grade 2, and Grade 4. Recess Experimental inattention rates were higher before recess than after
Australia Dollman et al. (2006) All 450 South Australian government primary schools PE curriculum time Survey There was a strong positive relationship between SES and academic attainment. There was no evidence that schools with relatively high PE time are disadvantaged learners in traditional academic subjects.
USA Fredricks and Eccles (2006) 11th graders participation in school clubs and organised sports community-based longitudinal study In general, when some prior self-selection factors were controlled, 11th graders' participation in school clubs and organised Sports was associated with concurrent indicators of academic and psychological adjustment and with drug and alcohol use. In addition, participation in 11th-grade school clubs and prosocial activities was associated with educational status and civic engagement 1 year after high school.
USA Hawkins and Mulkey (2005) The data collected from the 24,599 eighth-grade learners in 1,052 participating schools Athletic participation It is a quasi-exploratory, multivariate analytical approach. These data offer evidence that athletic participation can and often does positively impact student motivation and engagement and that these positive benefits accrue to both male and female athletes.
USA Pellegrini et al. (2002) All of the first grade classrooms in the two schools agreed to participate. variety of boys’ games Longitudinal The study found that facilities with games forecast boys' social competence and both boys' and girls' adjustment to first grade.
USA Stephens and Schaben (2002) 136 eight graders Athletic Quantitative Scholastic Sports participation increases GPA
Sweden Ericsson (2006) The study comprised 251 pupils, 152 and 99 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. physical education and motor training Intervention study The results confirm the hypothesis that learners' motor skills improve with extended physical activity and motor training. However, the hypothesis that learners' attention will improve has yet to be confirmed. Although learners in the intervention groups have better attention in school year two than in the control group, the differences do not remain in school year 3. Several results in Swedish and Mathematics confirm the third hypothesis concerning academic achievements.
USA Maeda and Randall (2003) second-grade class in an elementary school (N=19) in Hawaii. Physical activity a multiple treatment reversal design First, although there was a small positive effect on math fluency, there was no adverse effect. Second, the classroom teacher noted positive changes in learners' behaviour.
USA Sallis et al. (1999). Seven public elementary schools (1,538 learners participated) Physical education Experimental design Despite devoting twice as many minutes per week to physical education as Controls, the health-related physical education program did not interfere with academic achievement. Health-related physical education may have favourable effects on learners' academic achievement.
USA Mahar et al. (2006) All kindergarten through fourth-grade learners (15 classes; three classes per grade level) at a public school a classroom-based physical activity program called Energizers A multiple baseline across-classroom design A classroom-based physical activity program was effective for increasing daily in-school physical activity and improving on-task behaviour during academic instruction.
USA Jarrett et al. (1998) The participants were learners from 2 fourth-grade classes, each having 25 to 30 learners. recess Quantitative A recess break appeared to have a renewing effect, decreasing their off-task and fidgety behaviours to below their prerecession levels.
USA Harrison and Narayan (2003). 50,168 ninth-grade public school learners School team sports Quantitative In summary, while participation in any activity generally appears to be better than nonparticipation, participation in Sports (alone or in conjunction with other activities) has a unique association with adequate exercise, milk consumption, healthy self-image, and a lower likelihood of emotional distress, suicidal behaviour, familial substance abuse, and physical and sexual abuse histories.
USA Uhrich and Swalm (2007) Grade 5 students from two classes in a K-8 parochial school in the mid-Atlantic region (N= 4 l) bimanual activity (sport stacking) Experimental participation in a bimanual coordination program, using sport stacking as the activity, may improve Grade 5 learners' reading comprehension skills, regardless of sex.
Israel Raviv and Low (1990) Ninety-six learners, who were between the ages of 11 and 12 yr. and from junior high school, physical education activities The research design was 2 x 2 x 2 factorial  
USA McNaughten and Gabbard (1993) 120 sixth-grade learners (60 boys and 60 girls; mean age 11.3 yr.) Physical education repeated-measures factorial analysis of variance design The present findings suggest that physical exertion affects the immediate arithmetic performance of sixth-grade learners.
UK Dexter (1999) the records and scripts for a sample of candidates for the 1995 GCSE examination in Physical Education administered by the Midland Examining Group, together with the candidates’ GCSE grades for English and Mathematics. Physical education a multilevel multivariate model Football, badminton, hockey, netball and athletics all had low but highly significant positive correlations with GCSE English and GCSE Mathematics grades; rounders were significant for GCSE Mathematics, but basketball was not.
Canada Ahamed et al. (2007) All grade 4 and 5 learners (aged 9–11) who normally participated in school PE and returned signed consent forms were eligible to participate in the study. At baseline, parental consent was obtained for 396 learners (N = 198 boys, 198 girls). Physical activity a cluster randomized, controlled, school-based intervention trial Despite dedicating approximately ten additional minutes of daily physical activity, we found that learners' academic performance was not compromised.

USA Wallhead et al. (2010) Participants were 192 learners (97 boys, 95 girls; age range 9–15 years, M age = 10.9 years) and five teachers from four elementary and one junior high school in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Sport Education A single group pre/post-test prospective design Physical Education Curriculum Model (SE) would increase autonomous motives in a Physical Education context, which would transfer in part into autonomous motivation to participate in the sports activity opportunity, especially when controlling for the effect of perceived support from other sources
Australia Spittle & Byrne (2009) Participants were 115 (male ¼ 97, female ¼ 18) Year-8 learners (aged 1314 years) in a Sport Education condition (n ¼ 41) and a Traditional condition (n ¼ 74). Sports Education is a non-equivalent control group design with pre-and post-test procedures. The Sport Education condition was more successful in maintaining high levels of intrinsic motivation, task orientation, and mastery climate than the Traditional condition. That is, the Traditional condition was associated with a decrease in adaptive aspects of motivation for learners, whereas the Sport Education condition maintained existing levels of motivation.
