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
One subject area that is often not a priority in elementary education in Pocatello, Idaho, is physical education. Currently in Pocatello, elementary students receive one thirty-minute session of physical education every two weeks. Questionnaires gathering data on curriculum standards and physical education requirements were sent to 40 randomly selected school districts in four states (ten questionnaires to each state) and followed by telephone interviews. There was a 20.0% return rate on the questionnaires, but the questionnaire was administered through telephone interviews to 32 of the 40 selected districts. Hence, the total response rate was 80.0%. The results indicated that the Pocatello, Idaho, District 25 physical education curriculum is comparable to that of the selected districts but the Pocatello District 25 allotted time for organized physical education is lacking.
