The Quarterly is divided into six sections, the first four of which include submitted papers. Viewpoint is an editorial section that contains commentary on current opinion, legislative and regulatory concerns, and trends in the profession. The Research section reports original and replicated research, using appropriate scientific methodology. The Application section contains applied investigations in settings often requiring unique methodologies, reports of case studies, programmatic developments involving strategies and techniques, and the design of equipment and facilities. The Review section contains papers that systematically and critically examine previous published literature. The Quarterly also contains a Digest of abstracts of recently published work from around the world, and a Books & Media review section.
The Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly publishes with person-first, non-sexist language according to standards of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (1994).
Not all sections will necessarily appear in each issue. Occasionally a thematic approach may be used to explore a range of issues on a topic. An author index will appear in the October issue.

Instructions to Authors
Submission Guidelines, Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly
When preparing manuscripts for publication in the Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, please adhere to the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition, 2001). Copies of the IAP manual are available in most university libraries or may be obtained through the APA Order Dept., P.O. Box 92984, Washington, DC 20090-2984. (www.apa.org/books). Tel: 800-374-2721.
Submit four copies of the manuscript to David L. Porretta, The Ohio State University, 202 Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue
Columbus, OH 43210. Include a cover letter stating that the manuscript is not being submitted to another journal. Send a title page with the following information: page header; running head; title; each author's name, affiliation, and full mailing address; phone, fax, and email information for the author who will review page proofs; and submission date. Each manuscript should contain the following: a full title page; an additional title page listing only the title; a separate page with an abstract of no more than 150 words; the text; references; author note, including anny acknowledgements; tables and figures.
Using the APA Manual as a guide, pay particular attention to manuscript content and organization (pp.1-22), APA editorial style (pp. 61-234), and manuscript preparation (pp. 235-272). Format papers with a 1-in. margin, 12-point font, and double spacing, including quotes. Papers should not exceed 30 pages inlcuding tables and figures. Check format against the APA sample paper (pp. 258-268). Note that Method is singular, and the heading, Participants, is preferred over Subjects. Insert line number 1-27 on the left margin of each page, beginning with the abstract page. This facilitates providing line-by-line feedback.
Indicate relevance by referring to theories, paradigms, or conceptual frameworks and briefly reviewing the existing knowledge base. Use person-first, non-sexist language in your writing, according to APA standards (pp. 46-60). Refer to disabled citizens as individuals with disabilities. Avoid using characteristic and attribute. Instead, use demographic data, diagnostic criteria met, behaviors, or indicators. Do not assume commonalties; base language on individual assessment. Avoid creating groups for statistical analysis that combine individuals representing different etiologies (e.g., people with and without Down syndrome), genders, or a wide range of age groups. APA Manual requires reporting both statistical significance and effect size. Carefully check the accuracy of citations and references. To enable blind reviews, verify that your manuscript does not indicate the author's identity.
Art must be professionally prepared and camera ready. Freehand and typewritten lettering will not be accepted. Dot patterns do not reproduce well during the printing process and should not be used to create shading in figures. You may submit figures on disk if they are created in Pagemaker, Freehand or Illustrator on the Macintosh Illustrator or saved in eps, tiff, or pict format.
You will receive a letter within 2 weeks indicating receipt of your manuscript. Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two editorial board members and other experts. This process requires at least 2 months. Inquire about manuscript status if you have not received reviews within 3 months.
