Subclaims¶

q1 i? The authors interpret the control groups' lack of improvement as showing that standard Malaysian PE meets duration and frequency requirements but not the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular endurance. → Rengasamy et al. 2011

q1 · i? · causal · r2

Authors' interpretation (type e) of the control groups' results in the discussion; no effect size is printed for the control groups' change, so the claim is an untested author interpretation.

"This may have fulfilled the minimum duration and the frequency levels required, but lack the sufficient intensity level to accomplish the total training volume to enhance cardiovascular endurance as shown by the control group of boys and girls."

Learner Variables¶

• Physical Well-Being — outcome: instruction changes it
