秀色短视频 research team seeks children 8-12 for physical literacy study
秀色短视频's Physical Activity Research Centre is seeking children aged 8-12 to participate in the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL) study. The CAPL is a national study coordinated by the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute designed to assess physical literacy (the skills and abilities necessary for engagement in lifelong physical activity).
The study tests children in a number of different areas, such as fitness level, sedentary behaviour, motor skills, body composition, and knowledge and understanding of physical activity. The data collected will be used by researchers across the country, and will be included the ParticipACTION Report Card.
Testing can take anywhere from two to four hours, depending on the number of participants in the group. Children will complete activities in a number of stations.
Data collected in this study is confidential, however, parents will receive their child's results.
The CAPL study is made possible, in part, by the RBC Learn to Play Project. The RBC Learn to Play Project is funded by RBC and the Public Health Agency of Canada and delivered by ParticipACTION to help children develop the confidence and skills they need to enable them to become active for life.
For more information, or to participate in the study, contact capl@upei.ca.
