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.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A low amount of physical activity paired with frequent consumption of fatty foods has been reported to increase childhood obesity in the United States to epidemic proportions. Researchers have further concluded that many of the problems associated with obesity continue into adulthood, leading to serious nationwide health problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a music exercise and educational program across 6 weeks on (a) BMI-for-age percentile, (b) waist circumference, and (c) attitudes about exercise in elementary school aged children in the normal, overweight and obese weight ranges. Changes in attitude about school, knowledge of nutritional education and off-task behavior were also explored. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured to aid monitoring for safety. A music-based curriculum designed to increase children's physical activities and to provide nutrition education was created for this study. The music intervention program met 3 times a week for 6 weeks. A pilot study was conducted to test the protocols for effectiveness. Upon completion of the pilot, twenty-nine 3rd and 4th grade students (Female=25 and Male=4) who attended a local elementary school consented to participate in the current study. The research used an ABA design and results were analyzed graphically. Dependent variables included: (a) physiological measures for BMI-for-age and waist circumference, (b) a researcher-created Likert-type scale assessing participant attitudes about school and the music intervention, (c) a researcher-created questionnaire assessing participants' nutritional knowledge, and (d) behavioral observations of off-task behavior.

Download or read book The Impact of Music on Human Development and Well Being written by Michele Biasutti and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is one of the most universal ways of expression and communication in human life and is present in the everyday lives of people of all ages and from all cultures around the world. Music represents an enjoyable activity in and of itself, but its influence goes beyond simple amusement. Listening to music, singing, playing, composing and improvising, individually and collectively, are common activities for many people: these activities not only allow the expression of personal inner states and feelings, but also can bring many positive effects to those who engage in them. There is an increasing wealth of literature concerning the wider benefits of musical activity, and research in the sciences associated with music suggests that there are many dimensions of human life (physical, social, psychological—including cognitive and emotional) which can be affected positively by music. The impact that musical activity has on human life can be found in different processes, including a transfer of learning from the musical to another cognitive domain. Abilities that have been developed through music education and training may also be effectively applied in other cognitive tasks. Engagement in successful music activity may also have a positive impact on social skills and social inclusion, thus supporting the participation of the individual in collective and collaborative musical events. The promotion of social participation through music can foster many kinds of inclusion, including intercultural, intergenerational, and support for those who are differently abled. The aim of this Research Topic is to present a diverse range of original articles that investigate and discuss, in different ways, the crucial role that musical activity can play in human development and well-being.

Download or read book Raising Happy Healthy Children written by Sally Goddard Blythe and published by Hawthorn Press. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With new information carefully added, this book examines the crucial early years from a child's perspective. It draws on the latest scientific research to show how the first few years determine the way children develop, body and mind, for the rest of their lives. The keys to this development are parents, and in particular mothers. Raising Happy Healthy Children presents convincing research to show how a baby's relationship with its mother has a lasting, deep impact. Recent social changes, such as delayed motherhood, juggling of work/life balance, limited uptake of breastfeeding, and use of parent-substitute baby equipment and electronic devices, are interfering with key developmental milestones that are essential for wellbeing in later life.
