Book excerpt: Abstract: The present inspiration catalogue is compiled as a follow-up to the Nordic Plan of Action on Better Health and Quality of Life Through Food and Physical Activity. The catalogue is the first of a series planned for release every other year. The catalogue deals with initiatives for children and young people with a focus on Best Practice. The joint Nordic Plan of Action sets a number of objectives for what we in the Nordic region shall achieve in the fields of diet and physical activity before 2001, in addition to visions for status in 2021. These goals and visions are described in the catalogue. The overall goals are all about getting more people to eat healthily and to increase the physical activity level of the general population. As a background for the initiatives, the catalogue contains a short description of the individual countries' legislation and action plans in the areas of healthy food and physical activity. For each Nordic country, initiatives are described that have the purpose of promoting children's and/or young people's health through diet and physical activity. At the same time, 2-3 initiatives are pointed out as Best Practices for the individual countries, which are marked in the catalogue under separate sections. These Best Practices are deemed by the countries as being projects that have or have had particularly good effects on dietary habits and/or physical activity levels. The Nordic countries are well on the way with good projects and we can learn much from each other. Thus, the catalogue is expected to be followed-up later with Best Practices on other themes, such as common monitoring methods for development within the fields of healthy food and physical activity

Download or read book Educating the Student Body written by Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

The statistics of childhood obesity are getting to be rather scary because they have tripled in the last 40 years! When we were young, there was rarely a youngster who was fat. That is because we ate just enough of food to fill our bellies, and never over ate because that would make us sleepy and lethargic, during our lunch hour play session. Also, at that time, our parents were interested in making sure that we had good nourishing food to eat at regular times. We never skipped a meal.
