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.

Schuldheisz and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an interdependent group-oriented contingency on the MVPA levels of middle school students during the fitness portion of physical education lessons. Participants were randomly selected target students from three intact eighth grade classes. A combination of a delayed multiple baseline and changing criterion design was implemented to determine the effects of the intervention on students' MVPA levels (dependent variable). MVPA levels were measured using momentary time sampling with definitions from the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time. The independent variable consisted of an interdependent group-oriented contingency program. When target students reached a physical activity level criterion, for a specified number of days, the whole group was rewarded with a choice of activities. Inter-observer agreement, using the scored-interval method (during 20% of the lessons), for students' MVPA levels was 95% (range 91-100%) and 86% (range 74-94%) for the teacher's instructional behaviors. Visual analysis of graphic data was used to demonstrate the functional relationship between the intervention and MVPA levels. The overlap of data points, mean level changes, trends, variability within and between conditions, and number of days that the criteria were attained by the target students were used to establish the experimental effects. A higher level of student MVPA was demonstrated in all classes, during all three units when the initial criterion level of the intervention was implemented. During the second level of intervention, higher MVPA levels were demonstrated in one of three units. Across all three units, when the intervention was in effect, target students attained the MVPA criteria 21 of the 27 days (78%). Post-checks, conducted three weeks after the withdrawal of the contingency program, revealed that MVPA levels decreased slightly while remaining above the level observed during baseline.

Book excerpt: "How students' experience and learning in an educational context influence their self-directed learning and behavior outside of school has always been an important question in education. Scholars have named the effects of physical education (PE) on students' out-of-school physical activity (PA) as the "PE effect". The purposes of this dissertation research were to first test a two-pathway model of the "PE effect" and then determine the extent to which a concept-based PE curriculum influenced middle-school students' PA behavior outside of the school. Specifically, the following research questions were addressed: (a) to what extent did eighth graders' knowledge and autonomous motivation for PE contribute to their autonomous motivation toward PA and, subsequently, influence their out-of-school PA? (b) Did eighth-grade students who had experienced the Science of Healthful Living (SHL) curriculum have higher levels of knowledge, autonomous motivation for PE, autonomous motivation toward PA, and out-of-school PA than those who had not? A total of 394 eighth-grade students from five schools participated in this study, in which 168 students studied the SHL curriculum when they were in sixth grade while 226 students only experienced traditional PE. Students' knowledge, out-of-school PA, and autonomous motivation toward PE and PA were measured using valid self-report instruments. Structural equation modelling was used to test the two-pathway model of the "PE effect". A static group comparison design was adopted to answer the second research question. Results showed that students' knowledge had a direct, positive relationship on their autonomous motivation toward PA and an indirect, positive relationship on out-of-school PA through influencing autonomous motivation toward PA. Students' autonomous motivation for PE had a direct, positive relationship on their autonomous motivation toward PA and an indirect, positive relationship on out-of-school PA through autonomous motivation toward PA. The results also showed that the students who had studied the SHL PE curriculum had significantly higher levels of knowledge, autonomous motivation toward PA, and out-of-school PA than the students who had experienced the traditional, multi-activity PE. No significant difference was found for autonomous motivation for PE. These results indicate that the two-pathway model is tenable in terms of knowledge learning and autonomous motivation in PE and imply that teaching knowledge in an autonomy-supportive PE environment can be an effective way to promote students' out-of-school PA behavior. The findings about the effects of the SHL curriculum further supported the knowledge learning pathway of the "PE effect" and indicate that the concept-based PE approach could be an effective model to promote students' PA behavior outside of the school."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Research on social skills in physical education has shown that students' fair play behaviors remain underdeveloped unless teachers include social skills development into curriculum and instruction (Giebink & McKenzie, 1985; Hellison, 2003; Patrick, Ward, & Crouch, 1998; Siedentop, Hastie, & van der Mars, 2004). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Fair Play Instruction on two 8th-grade middle school classes. A multiple baseline design across two behaviors was used to assess the effects of Fair Play Instruction on: (a) students' active participation, and (b) students' helpful, harmful, and missed opportunities to help someone during a tag rugby unit. The Fair Play Instruction consisted of: (a) students developing a chart with fair play cues to be accomplished during the lesson, (b) teacher's prompts and praise during the lesson related to fair play behaviors, and (c) positive pinpointing of fair play behaviors used by students during the lesson closure. Social validity questionnaires assessing the acceptability of the intervention's goals, procedures, and outcomes were completed by students, the teacher, and a panel of physical education professionals. The results showed that the Fair Play Instruction was consistently effective in increasing students' active participation, and in decreasing waiting time for all participants. The Fair Play Instruction for helpful behaviors was not implemented in the same manner as the instruction for effort, and there was little difference between baseline and intervention for helpful behaviors. There was, however, a decrease in the number of harmful behaviors. The primary explanation for the difference in effects between the effort behaviors and the helpful behaviors was attributed to the frequency of prompts and praise. During the intervention for effort behaviors the teacher increased her frequency of prompting and praising substantially over baseline. This was not the case for helpful behaviors. The social validity questionnaire showed that Fair Play Instruction was considered as an acceptable pedagogy among the students, teacher, and a panel of physical education professionals. Although further investigation is needed, this study shows that Fair Play Instruction is a promising path to pursue the teaching of social skills in physical education.
