It has been extremely difficult to find seminal people for and consistent research for my Driving question (What effect does physical education and knowledge of health science have a students ability to be strong learners and how can we utilize technology to promote healthy living?) especially because it is a broad question. I have found that when it comes to utilizing technology within a physical education classroom it seems to be easier said than done. I have found multiple articles which give ideas and suggestions but conclude that even though PE teachers are open to using technology there is little to know resources to make this happen. A name I did come across a couple of times while researching, in particular, using heart rate monitors in the class was Stewart Trost a professor of Physical Activity and Health, in the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences and Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Trost has conducted many studies and produced multiple publications surrounding sports, childhood obesity, physical education and more. In one study also linked below he found that there is a significant decrease in physical activity between childhood and adolecence years. IRB LinkFinal Two Articles

I wonder if other people are having the same issues that you and I have had when it comes to finding consistent names in our research. I guess not being able to find a ton of research on that particular topic is a good thing because it's going to allow you to hopefully find answers to questions that currently don't have any.

Oh yes, I am in the same boat as well! I'm not really concerned about who wrote it at the moment as I am about what information I am trying to find. Since I'm new to this type of research in particular, I'm still unaware of what I am looking for specifically so who wrote it, when I don't even recognize the name, does nothing for me at such a early stage in the game. I would hope that with experience these names start popping up and we start understanding where the importance in knowing who the "seminal researchers" are.

I'm glad you have found some research for your topic. I think that for certain topics, there are many people that have researched and written, that it becomes difficult to find a handful of people who's name come up more than once.
