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 2011 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With increased obesity rate and decreased physical activity among children and adolescents, it is crucial to provide ample opportunities for them to increase energy expenditure through moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. To help children and adolescents develop and sustain an energy-balanced living through healthy eating and physical activity, it is equally important to nurture their self-initiated motivation and essential knowledge about balancing energy intake and expenditure. Guided by the expectancy-value theory and the conceptual change learning perspective, this descriptive study was aimed to addressing three research questions: (a) To what extent did expectancy-value constructs affect energy-balance knowledge, in-class and after-school physical activity? (b) To what extent did ninth graders correctly construct their mental representations about energy-balance knowledge? And (c) To what extent did their mental representations developed in health education affect physical activity behavior in physical education and after-school hours? A total of 195 ninth grade students studied 14 energy-balance concepts in classroom-based health education classes and participated in daily physical education. Expectancy-value motivation, energy-balance knowledge, in-class physical activity and after-school physical activity were measured using the Expectancy-Value Questionnaire, concept-mapping, accelerometry, and Three-Day Physical Activity Recall Survey. The descriptive statistical analysis, structural equation modeling, and logistic regression analysis revealed that (a) the role of expectancy-value motivation is complex. Four alternative structural equation models differentiated the facilitating roles of expectancy beliefs and intrinsic value toward in-physical education physical activity from the detrimental role of cost perceived in physical education toward after-school physical activity. (b) The students learned the energy-balance knowledge from the same sources but constructed the knowledge in different mental representations. Most of the mental representations were found to be premature. Consistent with the constructivist theory, the finding suggests a low likelihood that the knowledge would play a guiding role in developing energy-balanced living behavior. (c) Energy-balance knowledge learned in health classes without experiencing physical activities was detached from physical activity in physical education and after-school leisure times. Separating energy-balance knowledge from physical activity in the learning process de-contextualized the learning experience. The findings call for change in teaching physical activity related health concepts by incorporating them in physical education classes. Overall the findings indicate a need for physical educators to strengthen students' expectancy beliefs for success and intrinsic value in tasks, but minimize their cost perceptions. In addition, curricular reform should target integrating concepts in health with meaningful physical activities to help students develop relational knowing structures that can be used to guide behavior change and/or enhancement."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
