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.

A Comparison of Teaching Two Methods of Physical Education with Grade One Pupils

Book Description
Five groups of grade one boys and girls (29 pupils in each group) were compared in physical fitness, perceptual motor development and creative ability at the conclusion of a five month program. Each group followed a different program: (a) the informal method four times a week, (b) the formal method four times a week, (c) the informal method twice a week, (d) the formal method twice a week, and (e) no physical education at all. There were no significant differences among the five groups in physical fitness and perceptual motor development at the beginning of the study. The findings of this study would appear to warrant the conclusions that at the five percent level of significance the methods and frequencies followed in this study: (a) do not vary in their effect on perceptual motor development, (b) are equally better than no physical education at all in the development of physical fitness, (c) are less effective 1n the development of creative ability than no physical education at all, and (d) have the same effect on boys as they do on girls.
