• Physical Education (PE)


  Develops students' competence and confidence to take part in a range of physical activities that become a central part of their lives, both in and out of school
• Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health outcomes across the life span
• Lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression, and other diseases
• The global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking and obesity
• Physical literacy


  Consist of movement, motor- and activity-specific skills
• Development of physical literacy

  1. Taught the 'what,' why' and 'how' of the movement

  2. Developing more mature movement patterns and motor skills in a wide range and variety of exercise, sports and dance activities to specifically enhance fitness parameters

  3. Building on knowledge and skills to plan, set goals and monitor participation in physical activities

  4. Practicing, creating, applying and evaluating the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to maintain and enhance fitness and health through participation in physical activities
• Physical Education curriculum


  • Inclusive approach that understands and respects the diverse range of learners
  • Emphasizes knowing the 'what', 'how' and 'why' of movement
  • Develops learners' understanding of how the body responds, adjusts and adapts to physical activities
  • Equips learners to become self-regulated and self-directed
• The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 years do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily
• Regular physical activity in children and adolescents promotes health and fitness, including higher levels of fitness, lower body fat, and stronger bones and muscles
• Physical activity has brain health benefits for school-aged children, including improved cognition (e.g., academic performance, memory) and reduced symptoms of depression
• Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence can also be important for promoting lifelong health and well-being and preventing risk factors for various health conditions like heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes
• Key Guidelines for School-Aged Children and Adolescents

  • Provide young people opportunities and encouragement to participate in physical activities that are appropriate for their age, that are enjoyable, and that offer variety
  • Most of the 60 minutes or more per day should be either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity and should include
• Physical activity recommendations for children and adolescents

  • Vigorous-intensity physical activity on at least 3 days a week
  • Muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week
  • Bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week
• Physical education


  Subject matter in schools (in the form of German and Swedish gymnastics) that emerged in the early 19th century
• The role of physical education in human health was quickly recognized
• By the turn of the 20th century, personal hygiene and exercise for bodily health were incorporated in the physical education curriculum as the major learning outcomes for students
• Thomas Wood's inclusive approach to physical education


  Incorporated fundamental movements and physical skills for games and sports as the major instructional content
• In the past 15 years, physical education has evolved to connect body movement to its consequences, teaching children the science of healthful living and skills needed for an active lifestyle
• Sallis and McKenzie's perspective on physical education

  Physical education is education content using a comprehensive but physically active approach that involves teaching social, cognitive, and physical skills, and achieving other goals through movement
• Goals of physical education

  • Prepare children and youth for a lifetime of physical activity
  • Engage them in physical activity during physical education
• Ways physical activities can be incorporated in schools

  • Separated from lessons
  • Combined with lessons
  • Integrated in lessons
• Physical education as part of education

  Provides the only opportunity for all children to learn about physical movement and engage in physical activity
• The education system in the United States does not operate with a centralized curriculum
• Learning standards are developed by national professional organizations and/or state education agencies rather than by the federal Department of Education
• All curricular decisions are made locally by school districts or individual schools in compliance with state standards
• The number of states that allow waivers/exemptions from or substitutions for physical education increased from 2008 to 2010
• Sport education curriculum


  Designed to "educate students to be players in the fullest sense and to help them develop as competent, literate, and enthusiastic sportspersons"
• Sport education unit


  1. Preseason activity/practice

  2. Regular season competition

  3. Playoffs and/or tournaments

  4. Championship competition

  5. Culminating event
• Fitness education


  Curriculum designed to engage students in physical activities that demonstrate relevant scientific knowledge, with the goal of developing and maintaining individual student fitness
• Physical education curricula that include fitness activities can significantly increase the amount of time spent in vigorous- or moderate-intensity physical activity
• Online physical education courses often focus more on cognitive knowledge than physical skill or physical activity, and many fail to meet national standards
• Whole-of-school approach


  Makes the school a resource to enable each child to attain the recommended 60 minutes or more per day of vigorous or moderate-intensity physical activity
• Multicomponent interventions based on a systems approach that encompasses both school and community strategies are the most thorough yet often most difficult to implement
• The evidence is most robust for interventions involving physical education in increasing physical activity
