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 2012 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Physical activity (PA) levels among youth in our nation continue to decline. The federal government has issued PA guidelines to improve health statistics. The purpose of this study was to analyze the amount and intensity of PA 6th grade middle school students engaged in over a seven-day period while enrolled in daily Physical Education (PE) class (DPE), alternate day PE class (APE), or no PE class (NPE). Thirty subjects were randomly selected for this study, 29 subjects participated; 14 male and 15 female 6th grade middle school students 11-12 years old. The students were grouped and tested by their PE schedule. All participants wore an Actigraph 7164 accelerometer or Actigraph GT3X accelerometer and a pedometer over their hip on an elasticized belt for a seven-day period. Data for this test was recorded in one-min epochs for one week. Data was shown as total minutes spent in moderate intensity and vigorous intensity throughout the seven-day test period. The subjects also completed a daily PA checklist. No significant differences were found in the characteristics of the boys and girls, (14 males and 15 females) ages 11-12 (M=11.21 ± 0.43 years, F=11.26 ± 0.46 years; height, M=59.44 ± 3.13 inches, F=59.33 ± 2.25 inches; weight, M=101.63 ± 21.69 lbs., F=102.16 ± 30.33 lbs.). There were no significant differences among groups for Body Mass Index (BMI) (20.16 ± 4.22), BMI percentiles (65.09 ± 25.54), total minutes of PA (484.03 ± 235.13), total minutes in moderate PA (434.41 ± 198.93), total minutes in vigorous PA (49.62 ± 40.86), pedometer step measurements in one week (67,135 ± 19,241.87), and accelerometer step measurements in one week (63,544.34 ± 18728.66). Although all subjects did not meet PA recommendations, and no significant differences were found, DPE recorded the greatest amount of PA for moderate and vigorous levels"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevalence of physical inactivity in children and adolescents and the associated epidemic of obesity are increasing concerns. U.S. national health statistics indicate early adolescence (i.e., 10-14 years) appears to be a period of importance regarding physical activity, sedentary behavior, health-related physical fitness, and obesity trends. Considering a significant portion of their waking hours are spent in school, it is widely held that schools' should play a significant role in increasing students' physical activity and health-related physical fitness. To do this, physical education in schools focus on providing quality physical education programs that produce physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of health-producing physical activity. In effect, a call for developing a comprehensive and valid measure of physical literacy has been aptly expressed. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation was to test the psychometric properties of proposed models of physical literacy, examine correlates of the physical literacy factor, and investigate the significance of the relationship between physical literacy and interscholastic sport intention via structural equation modeling. Participants were 400 (231 female, 169 male) sixth-grade physical education students who completed three brief surveys assessing maturation, self-efficacy, self-esteem, knowledge and understanding, motivation, physical activity and sport participation, and interscholastic sport intention. In addition, students completed a sedentary behavior log, a health-related physical fitness assessment, and an overhand throwing skill assessment. Analyses offered overall support for the proposed physical literacy measurement models. Results also supported positive relationship Physical literacy was statistically significantly positively related physical activity and sport team participation, and significantly negatively related and screen-time sedentary behavior. Results also supported a positive path between physical literacy and interscholastic sport intention. The implications of promoting physical literacy within physical education are discussed in light of the three higher-order underlying factors of physical literacy.
