Is PE at Schools Enough?
Can Parents get Involve?
Is Funding the Barrier?
Can Fitness training be integrated into the
PE Program?

10. Integrating Fitness Training into the PE program
Vega and colleagues researched the Effects of a Circuit Training program on Muscular & Cardiovascular endurance in year olds
72 Children were recruited and randomly grouped into Control and
Experimental groups
The Experimental Group followed a circuit training program for 8 weeks
The Control Group maintained their normal PE and organised sport
lessons during the 8 week period
All participants were tested for Muscular & Cardiovascular endurance
prior to commencement of study
Vega and colleagues from Granada university and funded by the Spanish govt.
It is possible to develop muscular and cardiovascular endurance through a short term program in the PE setting
Results showed the Experimental Group significantly increased both
Muscular and Cardiovascular endurance than Control Group indicating the design proposed could be effective for PE classes
