Teachers (N = 44; 48% female/52% male; mean ± SD years teaching experience = 10.6 ± 8.0) from 16 secondary schools were assessed at baseline. Intervention group teachers (i.e. from eight schools) delivered a structured school-based physical activity program over 10-weeks. Teacher outcomes included confidence to teach health-related fitness (HRF) activities, perceived barriers to teaching HRF activities, and perceived fitness. Detailed process evaluation data were also collected. Assessments were conducted at baseline and 6-months (post-program), and outcomes were assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: There was a positive group-by-time effect for the confidence composite score (p = .010, partial eta squared = 0.29), but no effects for the two (contextual, interpersonal) barrier composite scores. Also, there was a significant effect for perceived ‘general fitness’ (p = 0.044, partial eta squared = 0.13), but not for specific fitness subdomains. Teachers were highly satisfied with both the training and the program, believing it was beneficial for students. Resource usage and adherence to the SAAFE (Supportive, Active, Autonomous, Fair, Enjoyable) delivery principles was high. Conclusion: RT for Teens improved teachers’ confidence and perceived fitness. These findings highlight the potential for high-quality teacher training and program delivery to positively influence teacher-level outcomes. This may provide support for the use of teacher professional development to improve HRF-related pedagogy.]]> Wed 31 Aug 2022 08:19:25 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55716 Wed 19 Jun 2024 08:37:08 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16091 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:48:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4314 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:41:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44499 Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:04:47 AEDT ]]>
