“…If physical education teachers in colleges and universities can personalize their physical education classes based on their own specialty and students' reality and rely on their own practical teaching experience, they will certainly form their own personalized classroom teaching style that students like and have their own characteristics [18]. Cloud computing-assisted physical education is to give full play to the advantages of computers and the Internet and effectively integrate excellent physical education teaching resources from various places and schools into the physical education teaching process to create an information-based teaching environment.…”

The emergence of cloud computing, the change of education methods, and the requirements of lifelong education make the traditional teaching platform face great challenges. With the rapid development of network technology and computer technology, the speed of updating knowledge is accelerating day by day, and the way of education is gradually changing. Facing the informationization of education, our physical education teaching methods and means are still stuck in the traditional words and deeds, which obviously cannot meet the needs of the development of physical education and health curriculum. In terms of the overall development of sports, school sports is the cornerstone of the country’s sports development. This research is based on cloud computing technology, breaks the framework of the traditional sports model, establishes a personalized sports teaching system according to the basic theory of physical education, and designs and discusses the future college sports model. The construction and application of digital teaching resources of physical education courses in colleges and universities can help solve the problems such as shortage of teachers and contradiction between learning and training. The construction of digital teaching resources of physical education courses in colleges and universities based on cloud computing can save costs and improve resource utilization efficiency.

“…The mission of the Healthy Diploma™ program is dedicated to promoting healthy behaviors and using the program as a marketing strategy to potential employers. The program, available to all students regardless of academic major, incorporates physical activity, education, wellness coaching, and assessment, to provide experiential opportunities for students to participate in regular physical activity, gain knowledge and self-awareness thus achieving meaningful student engagement (Stapleton et al, 2017).…”

“…A Constant Balancing Act: Delivering Sustainable University Instructional Physical Activity Programs Many higher education institutions offer physical activity, fitness, and sport-based courses to college students, most commonly referred to as Instructional Physical Activity Programs (IPAPs). Often, students are attracted to IPAP courses for a myriad of reasons including personal health, skill development, social opportunities, stress reduction, boosting grade point averages, or to meet university-based credit requirements (Ansari et al, 2014;Baghurst, & Kelley, 2014;Cardinal & Kim, 2017;Cardinal et al, 2012;Crawford et al, 2007;Stapleton et al, 2017). As the motivation for enrolling in these courses varies from a student perspective, so too does the composition and success of IPAPs by institution.…”

The goal of university instructional physical activity programs (IPAPs) is to provide quality instruction through best practices to encourage college students to lead healthy and physically active lifestyles. As IPAPs have continued to decline due to enrollment and budgetary concerns, the importance of quality and sustainability has become particularly paramount. Furthermore, it is imperative to the existence of IPAPs that we strive to learn and share with each other in order to independently survive, but more essentially to flourish collectively, as we are better together. In our varied experience, while some IPAPs face unique challenges, many obstacles are common, regardless of institution size and composition. This paper will offer the perspectives of four strikingly different colleges and universities in their quest to navigate challenges in delivery, maintain and support quality instruction, and advocate for IPAPs.

“…(Reeve et al, 2004) suggested future research exploring the possibility that autonomy-supportive teaching (e.g., offering more freedom of activity choice) in a PE setting may increase engagement in PA as well as motivation. In addition, Stapleton, Taliaferro, and Bulger (2017) suggested that college PA courses should consider moving away from traditional teacher-focused models of instruction and toward more learner-centered styles which can lead to self-directed learning. Combining adult learning and self-determination theories, one can hypothesize that allowing adults to choose physical activities during FFL classes may improve exercise motivation and PA levels.…”

Background: While research suggests that college courses contribute to significant health benefits, there is limited research on the effectiveness of these courses in increasing motivation and lifetime PA habits of college students. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of choice in a conceptually-based college health and wellness course on exercise motivation and physical activity of undergraduate students. Method: Participants included undergraduate students (N = 81) enrolled in a health and wellness course at a four-year liberal arts university located in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. Quantitative data from the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire and the Leisure Time in Exercise Questionnaire were collected over three time points from two groups (choice and non-choice). Qualitative data from semistructured interviews with course instructors (N = 4) and open-ended questions were also collected. Results: There was a significant increase in intrinsic regulation F(2, 158) = 10.13, p = .00, η p 2 =.114; identified regulation F(2, 158) = 7.35, p = .001, η p 2 = .085; introjected regulation F(2, 158) = 6.61, p = .002, η p 2 = .077; and PA F(2, 158) = 5.63, p = .004, η p 2 = .067 over time. No significant differences were found between groups. Conclusion: While there was no significant difference between instruction type, instructors and participants suggested that choice was the preferred method for adult learners.
