The Eco-Challenge and Primal Quest races were multi-day events that included challenging physical activities and extreme conditions. Today, highly publicized adventure races like the Eco-Challenge and Amazing Race usually feature elite athletes or celebrities completing exotic tasks or globe-hopping to different parts of the world. But why should they have all the fun? An adventure race can be a fun, challenging event, hosted in the local community with local resources. This article discusses seven steps to setting up an adventure race, as well as variables such as route finding, teams, staff considerations, timing systems, risk management, evaluation, and tips for a successful race. The types of activities and team challenges are limited only by the creativity and imagination of the race coordinators. Careful thought and consideration of the variables of the race can help create an outstanding event that will draw participants for years to come.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"1 1","pages":"14 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83544141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These preconceived notions may be flawed or incomplete and, in order to be effective, PETE programs must help preservice teachers question and critique their prior experiences. Reflection is a key component of this process. Among other strategies, student autobiographical essays can help preservice teachers to better understand the effect of their own socialization on their current perspectives as aspiring teachers. This article elaborates on the use of autobiographies as a pedagogical tool within PETE. A sample student autobiography is presented, and the strategy is positioned within the framework of occupational socialization theory.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"9 1","pages":"34 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84184614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite using effective proactive management strategies, teachers may need to also use reactive techniques to reduce problem behaviors by applying suitable consequences. For these consequences to be effective, they must be aligned with the function, or cause, of the behavior. Otherwise, the consequences may be ineffective in reducing misbehavior or, in some cases, may actually make matters worse. Researchers in the field of behavior analysis propose four functions of misbehavior: (1) attention, (2) access, (3) escape, and (4) sensory stimulation. Once a teacher is able to determine the function of an inappropriate behavior, he or she will be able to implement consequences addressing that function. This article describes the functions of behavior, how to determine each behavior's function(s), and strategies to manage students' inappropriate behavior based on its function.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"40 1","pages":"22 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91227399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the authors noted, stress reactivity in children has been related to important health factors such as hypertension, future blood pressure status, levels of adiposity, and the ability to regulate emotions. While controlled studies have shown improved levels of stress in children who practice yoga, few studies have examined yoga within the context of school, and none have utilized physiological measures to gauge stress reactivity.","PeriodicalId":51628,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Education Recreation and Dance","volume":"5 1","pages":"54 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88543058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
