The interrelationships of parent-child co-participation in physical activity, parent-child relationship, parenting behaviors, and parental stress among normal children and their parents of Hong Kong: As the most important relationships for children in the family system, parent-child relationship relates to the development and growth of children. According to the attachment theory, parenting efficacy (e.g., parenting behaviors and parental stress) have the confirmed impact on parent-child relationship. Therefore, the increase of positive parenting behaviors and the reduction of parental stress (i.e., enhanced parenting efficacy) may enhance the closeness and attachment in parent-child relationship. Parent-child co-participation in physical activity (Co-PA) is commonly considered to have effect singly on elevating the child’s physical activity (PA) level or sports engagement rate. However, recent studies found an extensive role of Co-PA in family relationships and child’s mental/physical development. This newly emerged research topic shifts the focus from a single/simple understanding of Co-PA to a comprehensive interpretation, that is, a developmental process in family. Previous findings show that Co-PA are advantaged in improving parent involvement, parent-child relationship, child’s self-efficacy, and child’s mental/physical well-being. This study will adopt a cross-sectional research design and collect behavioral data from normal children and their parents in Hong Kong to understand the current status of parent-child co-participation in physical activity in Hong Kong families, as well as its interaction between family relationships, parenting behavior and parental stress. The results of this study will contribute to the design of future interventions targeting parent-child co-participation in physical activity.

Balance Bike: An Evidenced Solution for Better Postural Stability and Control in Children Cycling independently is a foundational movement skills. However, 9.7% of people around the globe do not know how to ride a bicycle. This would be equivalent to approximately 65 thousand primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong. Learning to cycle relies heavily upon family, and younger cyclists with less than two years of experience are usually prone to accidents, especially single-bike crashes. Thus, it is vital to introduce children to cycling at an earlier stage of their lives. Unfortunately, at the family level, guardians do not usually prioritise children learning this skill, possibly due to financial status and/or the lack of expertise. Consequently, school programmes play an important role here. Cycling performance relies on controllable cycling stability to deal with various cycling scenarios. During a bicycle ride, lateral deviations tend to be the predominant perturbation. A recent new method to teach cycling is to adopt a balance bike, a conventional bike without pedals, which allows novel cyclists to experience controlling their centre of mass on the wheels so they can glide on a bike with their feet off the ground. Evidence has shown that using a balance bike could reduce the starting age and the duration of learning. Our pilot intervention study demonstrated the effectiveness of a novel balance bike training programme for adults. However, the causal relationship between cycling performance, postural control, and training efficiency among children is still unidentified.To date, wearable inertial measurement units allow researchers to quantify the postural sway during upright stance and cycling dynamic scenarios. In addition, it allows researchers to assess participants’ postural control in real-case scenarios. Therefore, this research aims: 1. to quantify the postural stability to compare the performances of school-aged children who can (cyclists) and cannot cycle independently (non-cyclists) during upright stance and riding on a balance bike, 2. to investigate the effectiveness of a novel balance bike intervention for improving the riding cycling stability on a balance bike in non-cyclists, 3. to investigate the effectiveness of the balance bike intervention for upskilling children’s motor skills and physical fitness as well as their cycling confidence on a two-wheel bike.

A Three Wave Longitudinal Study of Confinement-induced Stress and the Role of Coping Strategies among Secondary Students in Moderated Mediation between Eating Behaviours and Food Consumption As the Covid-19 pandemic persists, it looks likely that home confinement, whether voluntary or involuntary, will continue to be adopted as a measure to contain infection. The closure of schools in this pandemic has diminished social interaction among adolescents, the group most vulnerable to emotional eating. Considering the established relationship between stress and emotional eating, this study proposes the mediating effects of eating behaviours and the moderating effects of coping strategies between confinement-induced stress and food consumption. This 3-wave longitudinal study of 3 months lag allows time to elapse between the theoretical cause and its anticipated effect. This study aims to explore the effect of coping strategies on the food consumption caused by confinement-induced stress.

Pilot and Feasibility Studies of Applying Remote Assessment in Physical Education In response to the social distancing measures in Hong Kong during pandemic, Department of Health and Physical Education (HPE) of The Education University of Hong Kong, in collaboration with Hong Kong Physical Education Association, created a series of home exercise videos to encourage people to stay physically active at home. This was covered by numerous media in Hong Kong. However, without having any evaluating strategies, the effectiveness is in doubt. Consequently, the ultimate aim of the current project is to develop a low-cost, easy-to-use and attracting portable device which allows children to self-motivate to do exercise and self-administer assessments. Rope skipping can be done anytime and anywhere; therefore, this project will start with incorporating technology into this sport. The research team will cooperate with a technology company to invent a portable technological rope which incorporates heart rate monitor, pedometer and accelerometer to record exercise intensity, the number of steps/jumps taken and movement speed respectively. These can reflect energy expenditure and will be provided to the users instantly. Rewards, for example, badges, positive feedback and school ranking, will be offered as children seem to be keen to compete. As a result, the deliverables from the project will provide handy resources for teachers to guide the school children to do exercise at home and offer guidelines on how much exercise should be done with health benefits so as to promote an active lifestyle in the society.

Promotion of STEM in PE to the Schools in Hong Kong A research project together with a STEM competition to develop students’ sense of inquiry to enhance either sports performance or health promotion is proposed. A STEM-based approach in teaching PE with specific features will be proposed and identified. Data from both local schools for the STEM-based approach in teaching PE. Pedagogical cases on the approach will be developed with collaboration from local schools by July 2020. In order to develop this STEM based alternate teaching strategy in PE, a research-based project could be conducted in 2020 to develop some pedagogical cases and illuminate the features of the approach. At the same time, interest of students from local primary and secondary schools as well as general public could be aroused by promoting a STEM competition for sports performance enhancement and health promotion in June 2021.
