Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project analysis is to identify lessons learned from the policy revision process as well as lessons to enhance the anticipated outcomes of physical education (PE) in future for the purpose of sharing these experiences with UNESCO Member States. The findings show that - besides specific results in the pilot countries, which also have implications for PE globally - the quality physical education (QPE) initiative was successful in bringing a policy focus to PE in other countries where other priorities have overshadowed the rightful place of PE in the curricula. In the opinion of the evaluators, therefore, the QPE project and the QPE policy guidelines have played a major role in advocating PE and ensuring that PE has been placed on the agenda of decision makers worldwide.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 20 years the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) has been conducting the Shape of the Nation Report every few years to summarize information for the profession and the public regarding the status of physical education in the American educational system. The preeminent national authority on physical education and a recognized leader in sport and physical activity, NASPE is partnering on the 2006 Shape of the Nation Report with the American Heart Association (AHA), a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. This joint project is important to both organizations because, in a time of increasing health risks and health care costs in America, prevention is key and exemplary physical education programs must be part of the solution for inactivity, obesity, and related chronic diseases. The challenge of the first "Shape of the Nation" Report in 1987 continues in this latest survey. That is, typically state mandates are broad and general, leaving many specifics open to interpretation. The purpose of this "Shape of the Nation" Report is to provide current information about the status of physical education in each state and the District of Columbia. This report will not only bring attention to the importance of quality, daily physical education programs for all school age children; it will also provide information that can be used as a basis for expanding and improving physical education programs in those states that need assistance. The vision is that every student will become physically educated and thus possess the knowledge, skills, and confidence to be physically active and healthy for a lifetime. Appended are: (1) National Standards and Guidelines for K-12 Physical Education; (2) Federal Legislation Impacting Physical Education; (3) The Fight for Physical Education in the States; and (4) Public Policy Agenda for Physical Education Research. [This project was also sponsored by the volunteers and leaders of the American Heart Association.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research confirms that the switch from traditional physical education to a higher quality of physical education program is a must in order to give students the knowledge they need to live a physically active and healthy lifestyle. This project explores the history of physical education and how important teaching quality physical education is to students in the school system today. Traditional physical education lessons do nothing to help students to stay active or healthy whereas quality physical education lessons will keep students moving throughout the entire lesson and will keep students motivated while participating in and outside of P.E. The proposed quality elementary physical education lessons will give a starting point to help both certified and uncertified teachers of P.E. and will be based on skills that will serve as a foundation to learning more advanced skills later on in life. These model lessons will show how to keep students moving throughout the lesson and will give motivational tips to help keep students motivated both in and outside of the class.

Book excerpt: Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease stroke diabetes and breast and colon cancer. It also helps to prevent hypertension overweight and obesity and can improve mental health quality of life and well-being. In addition to the multiple health benefits of physical activity societies that are more active can generate additional returns on investment including a reduced use of fossil fuels cleaner air and less congested safer roads. These outcomes are interconnected with achieving the shared goals political priorities and ambition of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. The new WHO global action plan to promote physical activity responds to the requests by countries for updated guidance and a framework of effective and feasible policy actions to increase physical activity at all levels. It also responds to requests for global leadership and stronger regional and national coordination and the need for a whole-of-society response to achieve a paradigm shift in both supporting and valuing all people being regularly active according to ability and across the life course. The action plan was developed through a worldwide consultation process involving governments and key stakeholders across multiple sectors including health sports transport urban design civil society academia and the private sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically evaluates the complex relations between physical activity, health imperatives and cultural and social opportunities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The book explores the uncertainty of knowledge around physical activity behavior and its distinctive meanings in LMIC contexts, the factors influencing physical activity, and how populations across the world understand and live the concept of physical activity. It discusses the key challenges and opportunities for sustaining physical activity within geographically and culturally diverse contexts of LMICs; introduces the reader to contemporary global physical activity approaches, models and policies; and presents case studies from around the world, including Asia, Africa, South America, the Pacific and Europe. Overall, the text relates theory to practical examples to facilitate a better understanding of physical activity in context, emphasizes the need for targeted, context-specific and locally relevant interventions to create PA-enabling environments in LMICs, and highlights the role of a range of stakeholders, including policy makers and urban planners, sport and recreation services, mass media, educators and the civil society in shaping population physical activity levels. Taken together, this edited volume brings together the latest research on PA in LMICs from around the world, informs and directs future research and necessary policy change towards the sustainable integration of PA opportunities, and seeks to ultimately foster and promote population-based PA in LMIC settings. By presenting empirical data and policy recommendations, this text will appeal to scholars, researchers and practitioners with an interest in physical activity research, public health, health promotion, sociology of sport, and sports sciences in LMICs, as well as policy makers and experts working in health promotion, public health, sports and fitness, but also in the urban planning and infrastructure and governmental industries.
