“…Therefore, future research should consider using more appropriate session intervals and an overall longer intervention to obtain significant results. They may also want to consider a small enrolment fee to help create accountability for attendance [45,50].…”

This study evaluated a leadership-based physical activity program, Girls Organizing and Learning Sport (GOALS), by assessing changes in health behaviours, physical competence, self-esteem, and leadership. Of the 466 participants who enrolled in the program, 102 (22%) completed a pre-and post-program survey containing questions concerning demographics, physical activity, physical competence, self-esteem, and leadership. The GOALS program was held twice (fall 2022/winter 2023) and consisted of two-hour weekly sessions over four weeks at nine different locations. Paired-sample t-tests, Chi-squares, and one-way ANOVA tests were utilized to analyze differences before and after the GOALS program. Results revealed that more participants were involved in school sports, community sports, and regular physical activity post-program (all p’s < 0.05). A significant difference was also observed between pre-and post-test scores for physical competence and self-esteem (p’s < 0.05). However, the program did not elicit changes in health behaviours or total leadership scores (all p’s > 0.05). Moreover, significant results were observed between physical competence difference scores and those who care for their health by exercising (p = 0.025), leadership difference scores and those who take care of their health by exercising (p = 0.044), self-esteem difference scores by program location (p = 0.001), and physical competence difference scores by ethnicity (p = 0.003). Overall, further research into the design, administration, and targeted outcomes is recommended for future sessions.

“…Campus recreation can now make fitness and wellness a priority to integrate into the lives of students and create an education framework for fitness and wellness learning outcomes. The research serves as a stepping stone for campus recreation to continue to build fitness and wellness programs that will support its purpose and enhances the lives of students on a college or university campus similar to what was proposed in the Vansickle et al (2010) study on Indiana University's faculty and staff.…”

“…Related research conducted by Vansickle, Hancher-Rauch, and Hicks (2010) reported that fitness programs were an effective way of implementing fitness pedagogy and creating an interaction between faculty and staff members. In this study, Vansickle et al (2010) created a fitness program model that increased the knowledge about fitness and wellness of the faculty and staff on the Indiana University campus. Certain campus recreation fitness and wellness programs had a positive impact on student learning.…”

What actions are permissible to an employer in a case of a labormanagement dispute? This article addresses the variety of options available to an employer in the context of a labor dispute, in general, and, in particular, in professional sports. Considered will be actions ranging from the hiring of replacement workers during a strike, the imposition of a full or partial lockout by the employer, the refusal of the employer to rehire workers who had been replaced during a strike, and whether the rules established for replacement workers equally apply where management has engaged in a lockout of its workers. A discussion of the importance of NLRB v. Mackay Radio and Telegraph Co. in the context of professional sports will be undertaken.
