posted on 2017-10-31, 11:03 authored by Melvin E. PalmerThe purpose of the study was to investigate boys’
attitudes towards physical activity and physical education;
to identify their likes and dislikes and to examine the
influences affecting boys perceptions of physical education;
highlighting differences between two academically different
ability sets. It became evident that the development of a
realistic questionnaire was necessary to collect accurate

boys aged between 11 and 13 years who attended a South
Yorkshire Comprehensive School. [Continues.]
