The feeling of pleasure during physical education (PE) could increase with physical activity participation and adherence for overweight children. While traditional games are known to have positive benefits on motor skill development, especially for children with poorer motor skills, and on the body mass of children, little is known about overweight children's feelings of enjoyment when playing these games. To identify a program of physical activity appreciated by overweight children, we tested the effect of different activities, namely soccer (SO), shot put (SP), and traditional motor games (TMGs), on the feelings of pleasure for 28 overweight male children (aged 12.11 ± 0.63 years, BMI 26.89 ± 0.15 kg·m) participating in a 3-month cross-over study. To measure affective responses to exercises, we applied a validated feeling scale. The data were collected during eight PE lessons, which were organized for each cycle taught. Post hoc pairwise comparisons revealed a significant difference (Z = -3.195, < 0.01) between the mean feeling score reported after the SO cycle (2.48 ± 0.41) and that after the TMGs (3.04 ± 0.32). A similar significant difference (Z = -3.304, < 0.01) was found between the mean feeling scores reported after the SP cycle (2.27 ± 0.32) and the TMGs (3.04 ± 0.32). There was no significant difference between the mean feeling scores reported after the SO (2.48 ± 0.41) and SP cycles (2.27 ± 0.32). In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest that TMGs may have beneficial effects on the feelings of pleasure for overweight children. Therefore, TMGs might potentially be considered as an alternative to conventional physical activities.
对于超重儿童而言，体育教育（PE）过程中的愉悦感可能会随着体育活动参与度和坚持度的提高而增强。虽然传统游戏对运动技能发展，尤其是对运动技能较差的儿童，以及对儿童的体重有积极益处，但对于超重儿童在玩这些游戏时的愉悦感受却知之甚少。为了确定一项受超重儿童喜爱的体育活动方案，我们对28名超重男童（年龄12.11±0.63岁，体重指数26.89±0.15kg·m²）进行了一项为期3个月的交叉研究，测试了不同活动，即足球（SO）、铅球（SP）和传统运动游戏（TMGs）对愉悦感的影响。为了测量对运动的情感反应，我们应用了一个经过验证的感受量表。数据是在为每个教学周期安排的八节体育课期间收集的。事后两两比较显示，在足球周期（2.48±0.41）后报告的平均感受得分与传统运动游戏周期（3.04±0.32）后报告的平均感受得分之间存在显著差异（Z = -3.195，P<0.01）。在铅球周期（2.27±0.32）后报告的平均感受得分与传统运动游戏周期（3.04±0.32）后报告的平均感受得分之间也发现了类似的显著差异（Z = -3.304，P<0.01）。在足球周期（2.48±0.41）和铅球周期（2.27±0.32）后报告的平均感受得分之间没有显著差异。总之，本研究结果表明，传统运动游戏可能对超重儿童的愉悦感有有益影响。因此，传统运动游戏可能有潜力被视为传统体育活动的替代选择。
