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.

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this research study was to examine levels of physical activity participation in elementary-aged school children who participated in at least a weekly 40-minute physical education class. In doing so, the contribution of physical education classes to daily accumulated physical activity levels among children was determined. More specifically, this research study examined the amount of time children were physically active within forty minute physical education class sessions. This research study also described the types of activities in which children were involved in during and after school. Finally, the link between BMI and physical activity levels were examined. In particular, this study was guided by the following questions: 1. How is instructional time used in third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade physical education classes across three schools? Specifically, what are the mean percentages of time spent in (a) performing activity, (b) receiving information, (c) giving information, (d) waiting, (e) relocating, and (f) other. 2. What are the mean grade, school, and gender differences in physical activity levels and body mass indices of third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students across three schools? 3. What are the various types of physical activities that third-, fourth-, and fifth grade students engage in outside of physical education classes across three schools? 4. What is the relationship between physical activity level and body mass index for third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade male and female students across three schools? The SBE form was used to describe the way that instructional time was used. Specifically, the SBE form was used to code what a student was doing during a physical education class. The student's behavior was coded according to six categories: (a) performs motor activity, (b) receives information, (c) gives information, (d) waits, (e) relocates, and (e) other (Anderson, 1980). The Yamax Digi Walker SW 200 (YX200) pedometers were utilized for this study to measure the number of steps that third, fourth-, and fifth-graders took during physical education classes on three separate class periods. The instrument used to identify the various types of "outside" activities that students were involved in was a modified form of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) (Kowalski, Croker, & Dosen, 2004). Lastly, the BMI served as indicator of obesity levels of students. BMI was determined by first obtaining a person's height and weight (Yauss, 2005). The height of each student using a standometer was recorded in centimeters and the weight was measured in kilograms using a digital scale (Health of Meter). The BMI was then determined by using the following formula: BMI=KM/M℗ø. Conclusions Based on this study's findings the following conclusions were made: 1. Overall, it was found that students spent less than half of their instructional time in being physically active. Much of the inactive time was spent listening to the teacher and waiting to engage in an activity. However, when grade level was considered the amount of motor activity somewhat increased. The increase was especially evident in the third- and fifth-graders. 2. Teachers differed in terms of the way they organized their instructional time. Woodson's teacher instructional time was organized in a way that more than half of the time was spent in non motor engaged activities. Students at Mercy and Richmond Elementary School spent the higher amounts of instructional time performing motor activity. 3. The third-graders at Richmond Elementary School spent the highest amount of instructional time in performing motor activity, while the fourth graders spent the least amount of time in performing motor activity. The third-graders and fifth-graders at Woodson Elementary School spent the highest amount of time in performing motor activity. The fifth-graders at Mercy Elementary School had the highest amount of time in performing motor activity. 4. Females at Richmond Elementary School spent the same amount of instructional time as males in performing motor activity. However, differences between male and females were more prevalent when examining individual schools. At Woodson Elementary School males spent a higher amount of instructional time in performing motor activity than females. Lastly, at Mercy Elementary School feales spent more instructional time than males and they both spent over half the instructional time in performing motor activity. s found that males took more average steps per minute than females. It was found that third graders took more steps per minute than the fourth- and fifthgraders. Lastly, it was found that students at Mercy received the highest among of steps per minute, while Richmond received the lowest. 6. It was found that a grade by school interaction was significant (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the relationship between students' physical education fitness norms and academic achievement measures in a suburban elementary school. Does high or low performance on physical fitness tests align with high or low academic achievement from standardized testing? The study sought to determine the importance of physical education and its role in promoting student physical fitness, as well as its possible influence on student academic achievement. School administrators, general education and special education teachers, special area teachers, and other support staff completed a survey to determine if there is a relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement. School administrators also completed a questionnaire regarding their opinion of the importance of physical education if it relates to academic achievement. Two focus groups, consisting of third and fourth grade teachers in the school district, openly discussed if physical education helps with academic achievement. The study sought to determine whether physical education is linked to student academic achievement. (ProQuest abstract).

This book was released on 2018 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this dissertation is "Assessing the Effectiveness of School-based Physical activity in Low-Income Urban Students." The three manuscripts form a cohesive body of work that has investigated the effectiveness of physical education (PE) programs on physical activity (PA) among elementary school children in a low-income urban community. These three manuscripts are strongly connected to the theme of the dissertation and lead to finding a "collective meaning" of the projects. Each study investigates a particular study objective and finds significant evidence for school-based PA promotion. Each manuscript describes the research imperatives, knowledge gaps, and articulates future research. Here are these articles below: Physical Activity Levels of Inner-city Public Elementary Students during Regular Physical Education: An observational research study using SOFIT; Using Structural Equation Modeling to Examine the Mediating Effects of Perceived Parent, Peer, and Teacher Support between Social Cognitive Variables and Physical Activity among Low-Income Primary students; Investigating the Influence of Teacher's Motivation Types and Resource Utilization in Physical Education on Elementary Students' Leisure-Time Physical Activity: A Multilevel Analysis.
