The research consortium program of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance is comprised of free papers, posters, symposia, and invited lectures. Of the approximately 450 research abstracts submitted for the 1991 research symposium, those recommended for presentation are included in this volume. The topics covered include: motor processing during rapid voluntary human movement; history and sociology of sport; health; measurement and assessment; activities for special populations; pedagogy; physical education; exercise physiology; psychology, history, and sociology of sport; motor control; health behaviors and health promotion; drug education; cholesterol; drug use; leisure; dance; and physical fitness. The conference program is also included. (AMH)

The abstracts in this volume cover the following topics: (1) administration, (2) biomechanics, (3) body composition, (4) curriculum, (5) dance, (6) health, (7) history, (8) leisure, (9) measurement, (10) motor development, (11) motor learning and control, (12) pedagogy, (13) philosophy, (14) physical fitness, (15) physiology, (16) psychology, (17) sociology, and (18) special populations. The name and address of the presenter is included with each abstract. (JD)

Some studies state that teachers do not have sufficient knowledge for the implementation of the program, do not find the teaching and evaluation activities applicable, and have difficulty in implementing the program due to the lack of materials-tools and equipment. In this context, this research aims to determine the opinions of pre-service teachers about the Physical Education and Sports Education Program (5-8). In line with this purpose, we tried to find answers to the following questions: What are the teacher candidates' opinions in relation to their teaching programs gains, its content, learning-teaching processes, and measurement and evaluation practices. This research was carried out by utilizing the scanning model. In the study, quantitative research methods were used, and a questionnaire prepared by the researchers was used in order to determine the views of teacher candidates on the Physical Education and Sports Education Program. The universe of the research consists of 100 students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Bayburt University. When the research findings were examined, it was seen that the evaluations of the novice teachers toward the objectives of the education program were generally positive. On the other hand, it is seen that the novice teachers concentrate on the expression "I am undecided" about whether there are scientific errors in the outcome statements.

In these sessions an attempt was made to analyze the profession of physical education for identification of the elements and reasons for diversification and to synthesize through establishing relationships among various subdisciplines. Attention was focused on the relationships that exist among emerging subdisciplines in physical education and on what should comprise the basic programs of physical education for all students in schools and colleges. Fifteen papers on this subject are presented. (JD)

The twelve papers in this volume were presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Physical Education in 1980. The topics addressed were: (1) the position of the American Academy of Physical Education on its roles and responsibilities to those involved in physical education; (2) social influences on the ancient and modern Olympic Games; (3) future directions of athletic amateurism and the Olympic movement; (4) joint biomechanical filming project by the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1979-1980; (5) the growth of sport sociology; (6) values inherent in participating in sports; (7) play and sport as moral education; (8) research and use of sport psychology for the Olympics; (9) research findings on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and their application to sports performance; (10) implications of the Olympic games for physical education curricula; (11) the importance of competition and the breaking of athletic records; and (12) the spirit of the Olympics versus boycott. This last paper was the R. Tait McKenzie Memorial Lecture. An appendix provides lists of the members and fellows of the academy as of May, 1980 and of its presidents from 1926 to 1981. (FG)
