Book Description
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.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of experiencing success in a physical activity on fifth-grade boys' self concept and behavior. A unique guidance approach to learning water skiing was implemented. The water skiing intervention provided an opportunity for the children to develop awareness of the relationship between self-control and success. The setting for the intervention was at a nearby ski school located on a lake. This environment was new to the child and one in which he had no previous success or failure. A total of 30 boys were identified as the lowest 25% of the population who took the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale from the three participating elementary schools in Alachua County, Florida. The boys were randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group. Each group consisted of 15 boys. The experimental group received the three experiences in water skiing and self-control. The control group participated in the regular school curriculum. The first dependent variable, self-concept, was measured pre- and post-test by the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale . The second dependent variable, behavior, was pre- and post-tested by classroom teachers using the Burks' Behavior Rating Scales . The results of this study indicate that self-concept was significantly improved in fifth-grade boys following participation in the water skiing intervention. Data analysis showed significant differences in self-concept between the experimental and the control group. Analysis of covariance resulted in a p value of .0002. An analysis of the teacher ratings of behavior showed that the intervention had the greatest effect on the boys who exhibited the most severe behaviors. Because analysis of covariance was not appropriate for these data, separate regression lines were plotted to help interpret the interaction. The treatment had the greatest effect on those boys who were rated as exhibiting the most negative behavior on the pre-test. Less treatment effect was found among the boys who were rated as exhibiting few negative behaviors. Although other studies give results suggesting a significant positive relationship between behavior and self-concept, the correlation coefficient analysis indicated that no relationship existed between these variables in this study for subjects receiving the treatment. The implications of this study are that success in a non-school related physical activity can improve children's feelings about themselves and alter behavior patterns in a positive way.
