Modification of aviary design reduces incidence of falls, collisions and keel bone damage in laying hens (2015, background): “moving behavior and thus the risk of falls, a fact that is reported in other animal species and humans as well (Sallis, 2000).”
Amount of time spent in sedentary behaviors in the United States, 2003-2004. (2008, background): “Previous studies have also reported that the rate of decline in physical activity levels is greater in adolescence than in adulthood (23).”
Perceived autonomy support, behavioural regulations in physical education and physical activity intention (2009, neutral): “This particular age group was chosen because research (e.g., Sallis, 2000 ) showed that physical activity declined with age, with the steepest decline occurring between the ages of 13 and 18 years and the majority of secondary schoolchildren fall within the ages 13–17”
Health-enhancing physical activity and sedentary behaviour in children and adolescents (2004, result): “Although it is often stated that the decline is more pronounced in girls, a recent symposium showed the opposite (Sallis, 2000; Telama and Yang, 2000; Van Mechelen et al., 2000).”
A Prospective Study of Participation in Optional School Physical Education Using a Self-Determination Theory Framework. (2005, methodology): “A motivational model of participation in optional PE classes was constructed on the basis of Vallerand’s (1997) model of motivation and previous work by Pelletier et al.”
Childhood motor skill proficiency as a predictor of adolescent physical activity. (2009, background): “These are important findings, as it is well established that physical levels generally decline during adolescence, with the most marked decrease taking place between the ages of 13 and 18 [31].”
