Physical Education provides physical activity to
all children and teaches them the skills and
knowledge needed to establish and sustain an
active lifestyle.Physical Activity is bodily
movement of any type and may include
recreational, fitness and sport activities as
well as daily activities such as raking the
leaves.

• Physical Education
• Physical Activity
• Are they important enough to be
• included in the educational system?

8

• The Journal of Pediatrics, Vol 146, No 6, June
  2005

Children need 60 minutes of daily physical
activity.
9
Physical Activity Research Rationale

• Research shows that school-based physical
  activity programs can help students increase
  concentration, reduce disruptive behaviors, and
  improve scores in mathematics, reading and
  writing.
• Research also suggests a critical link among
  movement attention, spatial perception, and
  learning memory in youth and adults, including
  those with special needs.

10
Physical Activity Impact on Learning

• Improves self image
• Stimulates chemicals within the brain that
  improve mood
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Can significantly improve behavior
• A study at the State University of New York at
  Buffalo showed that exercise significantly
  improved behavior. Children ages 5-12 diagnosed
  with ADHD participated in 40 minutes of exercise,
  five days per week. Significant behavior was
  evident in as few as 3 weeks.

11
What Constitutes A Quality Physical Education
Program?
12

• Policy On Quality Physical Education
• Passed by the State Board of Education in October
  2003 and recommends that all public schools
• offer physical education opportunities that
  include components of a quality physical
  education program.
• offer physical education 150 minutes per week in
  Elementary and 225 minutes per week in Middle and
  High School.

13

• Elements of Quality Physical Education
