Readability analysis of health, physical education, recreation and dance journal articles

B J Cardinal. Percept Mot Skills. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

The readability levels of 10 articles each from the Journal of Health Education, Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, and Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators were estimated. On average, the 40 articles were written at the college junior level (M = 14.9, SD = 1.6); however, significant between-journal differences were found, with between-journal effect sizes ranging from 0.36 to 3.64.
