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.

Download or read book The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education written by Bonnie Blankenship and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book weaves together theory, research, and practical information related to the psychological aspects of physical education. Unlike other exercise/sport psychology books on the market, The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education is written especially for future and practicing physical educators and focuses on the psychological principles and strategies that are most relevant to them. The book covers the important topics of motivation, reinforcement, feedback, modeling, prosocial behaviors/moral development, and self-perception. In each chapter, narratives about real practicing teachers show how they apply the principles and theories of psychology to physical education, and particularly to actual situations that readers are likely to encounter professionally. Each chapter contains three main sections: following an opening scenario in which Blankenship captures the reader's attention with a real-life problem, the author then (1) highlights theories related to the subject matter of the chapter, (2) summarizes the research that has been conducted on the theories and the chapter topic, and (3) gives examples of practical applications of the theory and research to physical education. Throughout the chapter, as the theory, research, and application of the topic are discussed, Blankenship presents possible solutions to the challenge presented in the chapter-opening vignette. The classroom applications and real-world examples are relevant to many different physical education settings, including those at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, in both urban and rural schools representing various geographical regions of the country. These examples bring the theories to life and help readers envision how their own classes will benefit as they apply what theyÃve learned about the psychology of teaching physical education. Key Features of the Book A theory-to-research-to-practice approach. An author whose background in both sport psychology and physical education makes her uniquely qualified to write this book. Chapter-ending application exercises that encourage readers to go beyond rote memorization of concepts and principles to apply what they learned in various specific examples. Sample instructional models and guidelines to enable readers to incorporate concepts discussed in the chapter into their own classes. A comprehensive glossary.

Download or read book 6th Grade Elementary Students Attitudes Toward Running Activities in Physical Education a Preliminary Study written by Catherine D.. Jaureguy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical education starting at the elementary school level has the responsibility of giving our children a positive, motivational, and educational experience to foster their physical, emotional, and mental development (Grahm et al., 2007; Tharnett et al., 2007; CDC, 2009;Carlisle, 2009; & Siedentop, 1998) . Research shows that positive experiences, habits, and behaviors learned in elementary physical education help students to carry on those healthy habits and behaviors into adulthood (CDC, 2009). One predominate activity used in physical education is running and there is little to no research in elementary children's attitudes towards those running activities. The purpose of this study is to be a preliminary step in exploring the phenomenon of elementary children's attitudes towards running activities in physical education. The study will include 6th grade students at three elementary schools in California's central valley. The instrument that will be used to measure student attitudes is the Inventory for the Assessment of Children's Attitudes Toward Physical Activity (CATPA). Scoring was tallied by counting each subdomain's 5-point scale with five bipolar adjectives with the maximum score for each subdomain being 25 points. Descriptive statistics was calculated for each of the seven subdomains of the CATPA and mean values of scores on the subdomains will be ranked for each group. Separate mean values were calculated to see if there are any differences between girls and boys and between sport participants and non-sport participants. Across all groups, findings suggest that sixth grade participants understand the fitness and health value of running activities, yet do not find high levels of enjoyment in running activities. Social continuation and growth are highly appreciated throughout all sixth grade participating groups.
