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.
Download or read book Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs written by Russell Carson and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools are the ideal place to promote and apply the recommended accumulation of 60 minutes of daily physical activity. But until now, it has been difficult to bridge the gap between research in this area and day-to-day practice in order to establish solid programs. That’s where Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs: Putting Research Into Evidence-Based Practice comes in. CSPAP Model Brought to Life The comprehensive school physical activity program (CSPAP) model, originally outlined as a 2008 position statement by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education to promote physical activity throughout K-12, is brought to life through this comprehensive, all-in-one resource. In the decade since that position statement, CSPAP has been spreading through numerous initiatives, which have mobilized a CSPAP field of study and a national framework for physical activity and physical education. CSPAP acts as a hub, supporting physical activity through multiple components that can include physical education; physical activity before, during, and after school; staff involvement; and family and community engagement. Moreover, each CSPAP component can serve to strengthen and reinforce the academic goals of physical education. Accommodates Needs of Diverse Audiences Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs, published in association with SHAPE America, accommodates the growing needs of academic researchers, school practitioners, district coordinators, educators, advocates, organizations, university faculty, and students who want to learn more about CSPAP or undertake ways to increase daily physical activity opportunities in and around schools. The Text’s Strengths This text does all of the following and more: Synthesizes all the foundational and emerging research, theory, and practice on CSPAP Synthesizes all the foundational and emerging research, theory, and practice on CSPAP Provides a higher- and deeper-level look at the CSPAP model, as opposed to short reports and position papers, which contain limited strategies for schools Offers much more in-depth coverage of the CSPAP model by delving into assessment, evaluation, advocacy, policy, partnerships, international perspectives, technology, and more Diverse and Renowned Team of Contributors Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs was written by a diverse team of pioneers and leaders in the CSPAP field. This team brings national and international perspectives on all aspects related to implementing and maintaining CSPAP in K-12 schools. These recognized experts provide incisive guidance in, and understanding of, the most prominent concepts, issues, and developments in the field. Book Organization The text is organized into six sections: Part I provides the historical and foundational perspectives and policy landscapes of the CSPAP approach. Part II outlines internal, external, and psychological factors to consider in program design, implementation, and sustainability. In part III, the contributors examine and interpret the research on the effectiveness of established programs and previous interventions. Part IV highlights special considerations for effective programming within urban and rural settings, reviews current and ongoing international CSPAP initiatives, and addresses the application of the model to alternative contexts beyond the K-12 school setting. In part V, the contributors focus on using assessments to determine the physical activity promotion needs of a school community, on the instruments and procedures for measuring school-wide programming, and on the processes for evaluating and advocating for CSPAPs. Part VI examines current reform efforts within preprofessional programs in teacher education, reviews the tools and future potential for using technology to deliver and assess CSPAP efforts, and looks at future directions for the disciplines of study that inform the CSPAP knowledge base. Each chapter uses a format that opens with a review of current research, offers knowledge claims based on the research, notes knowledge gaps and directions for future research, offers evidence-based recommendations and applications, and concludes with questions to consider for discussion and case examples to demonstrate the practical recommendations. An Invaluable Resource The rapid growth of the field and the increasing number of diverse and exceptional scholars (many of whom are contributors to this book) are indications of the need for this resource. Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs offers unique perspectives about how to generate and sustain successful initiatives to increase youth physical activity and promote long-term engagement in active behavior. It provides access to leading thought, invaluable tools, and challenging questions that will propel the CSPAP field to its next level of depth and clarity.

Book excerpt: It is always a daunting process to start a physical fitness regime. Many people get overwhelmed with what to do or what not to do and quit before they even get started. We understand that this process is just as much mental as it is physical and we wanted to build a roadmap that made it simple and easy for you to achieve your physical fitness goals without the added stress of trying to figure out where to start. In this training program, you will receive 16 weeks of physical fitness training. The training you receive in this book will start out slow and simple while progressively getting more difficult as you improve your personal fitness. Each day is planned out for you from what to do in your warm up and what exercises you are doing each day. Here are the comments from the women who participated in this training: "Here was the problem, I've never been confident in the gym. I've looked everywhere for training guides or workout templates and have found nothing that made a difference in my life. I was just going to the gym and performing exercises thinking I was making progress. When, in reality, I was just wasting time. Until FemFit arrived in my life, I was frustrated with my "results."This book was everything I needed in a workout guide. It allowed me to plan out every workout ahead of time. I am now able to confidently workout knowing which movement is coming next rather than looking lost wondering what to do. Having six, pre-designed, workouts a week make everything much easier. It is like having your own personal trainer in the gym with you!FemFit works! Within the first two weeks, I saw distinctive definition in my shoulders and my stamina was unbelievably high. On the fifth week, I saw immense results with my gluteus maximus, which had me walking around with the most confidence I've ever had! I'm still surprised by what I'm able to accomplish in the gym now. This book has built my body, my self-esteem, and my confidence stronger."-Mrs. Raushi"FemFit is for any female wanting to actively work towards very attainable goals. It's not a "get-fit-quick" program it's a 16-week program developed to help females build muscle and lose fat with correct form and active recovery at the highest consideration. I found that any previous injuries I had were not an issue when training properly. And best of all, is all incredible results. I lost 7 percent body fat in just 12 weeks. If you're a beginner you will feel committed because the results are addicting. If you're coming back from a long break like me, you will feel energized with the way the program builds intensity over time. And if you're an old pro, this program will shake up your routine. Josh and Nick did a phenomenal job understanding the female body and the proper amount of recovery to training. I have never felt so good in my life! "-Alison CapraAt the end of the day what makes the difference is the consistency of work you put in. If you are willing to make the commitment to better your mind, body, and spirit then FemFit will give you the roadmap you need to be successful. But you will be the one that puts in the work and gets all the credit for the success in the end.
