Abstract
The readability levels of 10 articles each from the Journal of Health Education, Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, Resear ch Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, and Strategies: A Journal for Phy sical and Sport Educators were estimated. On average, the 40 articles were written at the college junior level (M = 14.9, SD = 1.6); however , significant between-journal differences were found, with between-jou rnal effect sizes ranging from 0.36 to 3.64.
