“…The increasing importance of successful physical activity (PA) motives is unequivocal for a healthy lifestyle [ 1 ], mental and physical fitness [ 2 – 4 ], increased participation in organized and group-based PA [ 5 , 6 ], suitable climate for PA in physical education lessons [ 7 ], and children's and adolescents' well-being [ 8 , 9 ]. The number of interventions that use PA motives to support children's and adolescents' PA is similarly increasing [ 10 – 12 ].…”

Interventions aimed at motivation for physical activity (PA) are mostly beneficial, but the effects on preventing the decrease in PA are not entirely clear, especially in girls. The main aim of this study was to identify the differences and associations between PA motives and types of PA in boys and girls and between low and high motivated boys and girls. Another aim is to identify the types of motivation and PA that increase the likelihood of achieving PA recommendations and to propose ways of increasing PA among low motivated adolescents. The research carried out before the COVID-19 pandemic (2010–2019) and involved 2,149 Czech and 1,927 Polish adolescents aged 15–19 years. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form was used to identify the level of PA types, while PA motivation was examined through the Motives for Physical Activities Measure-Revised. During the ten years, a decline was observed in enjoyment, fitness, and social motives. An increase in appearance motives was observed in girls, while no significant changes were seen in boys. Boys showed a higher motivation for PA than girls in enjoyment, competence, fitness, and social motives, while girls were high motivated in appearance motives. The greatest statistically significant differences between low and high motivated individuals were found in the associations between recreation/vigorous PA and between all types of motivation in boys and girls in both countries. The strongest associations in both genders were observed between enjoyment/competence motives and recreation/vigorous PA. Respecting and using the associations between the types of PA motives and types of PA in low and high motivated boys and girls can support feelings of PA enjoyment, increase PA, support the achievement of PA recommendations, and positively affect adolescents’ healthy lifestyles.

“…This is particularly important as dance in music has been identified to contribute to enjoyment in performing a specific physical activity. To confirm this, Cadenas-Sanchez et al (2021) found that motivation was stronger when music is included in performing a cardiorespiratory fitness test. Therefore, performing practical lessons during physical education, music and dance may play a critical role in motivating learners to achieve their objectives.…”

“…More specifically, dance in music has been found to contribute to this enjoyment. For example, Cadenas-Sanchez et al (2021) in a study to examine the link between cardiorespiratory fitness and achievement motivation in Physical Education found that motivation was stronger when music is included in the test. The researchers concur that incorporating music into cardiorespiratory fitness activities could improve cardiorespiratory fitness performance and motivation, particularly in females.…”

The integration of courses (subjects) is currently trending in all facets of the educational curriculum. Therefore, studies must be done to holistically look into the impacts and perceptions of teachers and learners on the integration of courses in our educational systems. This paper examined students’ perception of the combination of Physical Education and Music and Dance as an integrated course in colleges of education in Ghana. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 10 purposively sampled students (five women and five men) in two strategically selected colleges of education in the Ashanti Region, Ghana. Content analysis was used as a tool for data analysis. Based on the results, the students found the PEMD course the most enjoyable, especially the practical aspects of PE and the dance drama aspect of the music. The students further envisaged that playing musical instruments was a challenge during the music course and the PE course was primarily full of classroom work (theory). In advance, the students recommended that, with the PEMD, the PE aspect should be separated from the music since both are comprehensive courses, and each can stand on its own as a course. Again, the participants asserted that the course should be more practically oriented than before. Therefore, the PEMD course should be more practical than theory and separated to allow PE and Music to stand on their own as a course since they have no apparent relationship.

“…Achievement motivation refers to the driving force of the individual pursuit of success as well as efforts and persistence in the face of challenges (Richter et al, 2021). Achievement motivation may be divided into two dimensions: motivation for success and motivation to avoid failure (Cadenas-Sanchez et al, 2021). Specifically, when an individual's behavior is dominated by the pursuit of success, it manifests as striving for progress and active efforts.…”

Background The shortage of nurses is a global problem. Increasing the level of work engagement is known to effectively reduce turnover rate among nursing staff. Strategies to improve work engagement based on the job demands–resources model may effectively improve nurses' job satisfaction and reduce staff turnover. Purpose A job demands–resources model was used in this study to test the hypothesis that work engagement is affected by both external resources (professional nursing practice environment) and internal resources (self-efficacy and achievement motivation). In addition, the mediating role of self-efficacy and achievement motivation in the relationship between professional nursing practice environment and work engagement was also verified. Methods A cross-sectional survey employing a convenience sampling design was implemented. Five hundred fifteen registered nurses were recruited from four tertiary hospitals in Chengdu, China, from January to June 2020. The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Achievement Motive Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used to measure the four variables. Results The results of the structural equation model showed that the degree of fit for each index model was good, indicating that all of the three variables, including professional nursing practice environment, self-efficacy, and achievement motivation, directly affected work engagement. In addition, the variable professional nursing practice environment was found to indirectly influence work engagement through the partial mediation of self-efficacy and achievement motivation. Conclusions The results may be used to guide health policymakers and nurse managers attempting to enhance the work engagement of nurses by providing a supportive working environment, improving the welfare mechanism, formulating a talent training plan, and fostering appropriate empowerment to improve the working environment, self-efficacy, and motivation in nurses.
