research to support the need for Physical
Activity.
Why is
Physical Education Important?
![Page 4: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Americans become increasingly less active with each year of age.
•Inactivity among children has now been linked to sedentary living among adults.
![Page 5: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Evidence now exists to show that inactive children and youth are likely to become inactive adults.
![Page 6: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Most chronic illnesses, such as
heart diseases, are a result of cumulative unhealthy lifestyles.
•What is done in childhood and youth
affects health later in life.

STATUS OF THE
NATION – A NEED
FOR CHANGE
• The percentage of young people who are overweight has more than doubled in the past 30 years.
•Inactivity and poor diet cause at least 300,000 deaths a year in the U.S.
•Fewer than 1 in 4 children get 20 minutes of vigorous activity every day of the week.
•About 1 in 4 children did not play on any sports teams, either at school or through community programs.

STATUS OF THE NATION –
A NEED FOR CHANGE
• Nearly half of young people aged 12-21 are not vigorously active on a regular basis.
• Physical activity declines dramatically with age during adolescence.
• Female adolescents are much less physically active than males.
![Page 9: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
STATUS OF THE NATION –
A NEED FOR CHANGE
• Enrollment in daily physical education classes dropped from 42% in 1991 to 25% in 1995.
•Only 19% of all high school students are physically active for 20 minutes or
more in physical education classes every day during the school week.

STATUS OF THE NATION –
A NEED FOR CHANGE
• More than 60% of adults do not achieve the recommended amount of regular physical activity.
• In fact, 25% of all adults are not active at all.• Inactivity increases with age.• Inactivity is more common among women
than men.• Inactivity is also more common among those
with lower income and less education.

PROMOTES BRAIN GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
Research Indicates that
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
WHICH LEADS TO IMPROVED COGNITIVE
PERFORMANCE
![Page 17: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Brain Development
Research Indicates that Physical
Activity• Improves Short-Term Memory.
•Builds Heavier, More Synaptic Rich Brains.
![Page 18: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
by increasing the number of brain capillaries.
This happens with regular aerobic exercise.
This is a great
day for a
jog.
Activity improves cognitive performance
Regular exercise helps provide more glucose and oxygen to the brain.
Regular exercise also helps remove waste products like carbon dioxide.
Aerobic activity 3-4 days per week optimizes brain performance!
![Page 19: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Preschool through Elementary
Examples are: Walking Running Jumping Changing speed of movement Changing direction of movement Maintaining balance while the body is in motion
Focus on developing basic motor skills needed for human movement.
To Increase Brain Growth & Development
![Page 20: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Before the age of 10 years…
• Motor skills and pathways need to be
continually developed and reinforced.
At about age 10, the brain begins
prioritization. Only the most practiced
skills are kept and preserved.
Physical Activity will reinforce and
strengthen connections through sensory and motor experiences.
In order to promote brain growth and development
![Page 21: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Through middle and High School
Require the learner to develop new motor skills.
Challenge the learner beyond the basic motor skills they should already possess.
Variety is the key!
People continue to develop
motor pathways in the brain.
After 10 years of age and
How do they do that?
![Page 22: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
NEW VIEW OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Greater health benefits can be achieved by gradually increasing the amount of physical activity in regard to these areas.
Frequency – how often physical activity is done (Measured by number of days active per week)
Intensity – how hard a person performs physical activity (Measured by heart rate)
Time – how long a person engages in physical activity (Measured by the clock)
![Page 23: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Brain research clearly suggests:
Physical Education improves academic performance.
Why is Physical Education Important?
that sensory and motor experiences are imperative to reinforcing and strengthening brain connections.
![Page 24: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Quality, Daily Physical Education Well-designed programs in schools
to increase physical activity in physical education classes have been shown to be effective.
A promising way to help people include more physical activity in their daily lives is…….
![Page 25: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How much activity for Elementary ages?
At least 30-60 minutes on all or most days of the week.More than 60 minutes, up to several hours per day, is encouraged.There should be a balance of moderate to vigorous activity with rest period variation.Children should not have extended periods of inactivity.
The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) offers these guidelines:
Note: All activity should be developmentally
and age appropriate.
![Page 26: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Children and youth will only learn skills through continued participation in
physical activity.
Continued participation in physical activity provides children with the skills and confidence they need to participate
throughout their lifetime.
![Page 27: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How much activity is needed for adolescents?
Daily physical activity is bestalmost daily is OK.
Surgeon General suggests
Activity can be part of play, games, sports, work,
transportation, recreation, physical education, or
planned exercise.The activity can be
performed in the context of the family, school or
community.
![Page 28: Importance of Physical Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/54b65dc54a795953018b4684/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How much activity is needed for adults?
• Perform 20-30 minutes of aerobic activity 3-5 times per week.
• Incorporate lifelong wellness activities almost daily.
• Follow appropriate active lifestyle diet.
