: Although emerging research has explored the development of coach education curricula, coach learning and how a deep learning approach can be made accessible to aspiring coaches, the study of coach educators' scaffolding of micro-pedagogies in action remains a missing link in the field. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore scaffolding strategies adopted by an experienced coach educator to encourage aspiring coaches to adopt an active approach to learning. : A case-study was conducted for a full semester of twelve practical lessons in the unit "Sports Methodology I-Volleyball" of a renowned sport sciences coach education program.

A Process Evaluation of A UK Classroom-Based Physical Activity Intervention-'Busy Brain Breaks'.

Evaluations have been criticised for failing to report details of context, implementation, adoption and maintenance. 'Busy Brain Breaks' was an intervention designed to improve fundamental movement patterns whilst increasing physical activity within the classroom.

Double blind carbohydrate ingestion does not improve exercise duration in warm humid conditions.

The positive effects of carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation on endurance exercise are well documented but the placebo (PLA(c)) effect can make the ergogenic qualities of substances more difficult to determine. Therefore, this study tested the effect of double blind ingestion of PLA(c) and CHO(c) in capsules versus known capsule (CHO(k)) ingestion on prolonged exercise heat stress. Nine well trained male volunteers (mean+/-S.
