In addition to questions about physical activity participation, the APARQ includes questions about girls' attitudes towards physical activity. Respondents were asked to rate the importance of 10 different activities, which included school, club, household and family chores, and play. The girls were asked to rate the importance of physical activity for both themselves and other girls, using a 5-point Likert scale. Girls were also asked to rate the importance of physical activity on a 0 to 10 scale, with 10 being the most important. The APARQ also asked girls to rate the physical activity beliefs of themselves and other girls.
The first randomised, controlled trial was designed to investigate the question: Does school-based physical education (PE) lead to an increase in physical activity (PA) participation?. The trial took place in a large, urban, state school (N = 206), in a large New England city, over the course of three years, and had two groups of students: the intervention group and the control group. Baseline data were collected at the beginning of the first school term (Summer 2003). The intervention was a rigorous, 4-week PE lesson in small groups (maximum 8 students per group) with supervised, outdoor physical activity. The control group attended the same lessons as the intervention group, but were given a workshop on school-based health education instead of PE. The intervention group was followed-up in the Summer of 2004. The control group was followed-up in the Summer of 2005, when they received the workshop on school-based health education. This study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki [53] and the Good Clinical Practice guidelines [54], and received ethical approval from the institution of the Principal Investigator (PI). Data were collected from students who provided their informed consent and from their parents/guardians. The children received participation incentives and the parents received a letter to their home address, with follow-up phone calls if required. The baseline and follow-up data were collected at the beginning and end of the third school term, and the control group was followed up during the fourth school term. There were no serious adverse events. Data collection took place over a 12-month period. Over this 12-month period, the number of sports clubs offered at the school increased from 1 to 3. The Physical Education lessons were about 3.5 h long. The attendance for the PE lessons ranged from 80% to 99%, with a mean of 88%.
Rita F. Simone has written that a major goal of the girlhood ideal is to keep girls invisible, out of sight and out of mind. Consequently, girlhood is associated with the prison of home, where girls are expected to behave in a docile manner.
