520 $a The analyses used for analyzing the questionnaire responses as well as the scores on the examination included t-tests and Chi-Square analysis. All statistics were calculated using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS).
520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of humor in learning fitness concepts and to investigate students' perceptions of teachers who use relevant humor in the learning environment. Therefore, two research questions guided the study. Is there a significant relationship between humor usage and the learning of fitness concepts? What perceptions do Personal Fitness students have of teachers who use humor in the classroom?
520 $a Subjects for the study included 543 ninth grade Personal Fitness students from the State of Florida. For generalization purposes the subjects were selected from a northern, central and southern region of the state. Subjects were divided into groups; one group was shown a fitness and weight control lecture via videotape while the second group received the same lecture with humor included in the presentation. Immediately following the lecture, subjects were asked to complete a 15 item exam over the content presented in the lecture and a 5 item questionnaire which asked questions regarding the lecturer's likability, credibility, and effectiveness.
520 $a Results of the study indicated that students were more receptive toward the instructor who incorporated humor into her lecture. In addition, students who viewed the humorous video indicated that they were more motivated to improve their present fitness levels. Findings did not show significant differences in the learning of fitness concepts with humor.
