| The purpose of this study was to determine whether pedagogical serials published in the core serials that encompass adapted physical activity content from 1988 to 1998 adhere to the principles of a Bradford Distribution. Further, the question was asked whether Price's Law would substantiate the findings of the Bradford Distribution by identifying a nucleus of the most productive authors in adapted physical activity pedagogy. An analysis for the presence of a Bradford Distribution was conducted on the 770 articles in 259 serials accepted for this study from the 4,130 serials initially identified in the four databases. Results of this study support the use of the Bradford Distribution to describe and quantify the literature of adapted physical activity pedagogy from the period of 1988 to 1998. Based on the analyses of the data, the applicability of Price's Law to adapted physical activity pedagogy was not supported. Suggestions for future research are provided. |
