Physical Education Resources

Interested in some free physical and health education professional reading but don’t really know where to look?  Below will help get you started:

JOURNALS

More journals than ever before offer free articles. Some of the ones below include publications on both Physical Education and Health Education. Here’s how to find the “open access” (i.e., free) articles:

• Revue phénEPS / PHEnex Journal
  • All are open access
• Curriculum Studies in Health and Physical Education; or Journal of Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance; or Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy
  • Click on one of the three journals above and follow the path below (tabs):
    • “Browse all articles and issues”
    • “Open Access Articles”
  • Journal of Teaching in Physical Education
    • Tabs such as “Featured Content”, “Latest Issue”, and “All Content” will display what is “Free access” and “Restricted access”
  • Health Education Journal
    • Scroll down to what’s unlocked (i.e., open access/free)

• Helpful Hint
  • You don’t need to read all the methods and data collection (unless that interests you). You might get the information you need by simply reading sections such as the Introduction, Discussion, Conclusion (and perhaps Findings).
