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
The 'traditional' sport-driven, performance obsessed and arguably elitist delivery of physical education (PE) has, for many years, remained resistant to change. Why is that? Across the globe, obesity levels are rising, mental health concerns are sky-rocketing and physical activity participation rates continue to fall far short of CMO guidelines for so many. Meanwhile, PE curriculum time is being further marginalised in schools. At a time when inspiring and instilling healthy active habits in all young people could not be more important, what responsibility can we take as current custodians of the subject? Has the true value of our subject been lost or failed to evolve with the needs and motivations of our students? Is PE recognised as anything more than a basket of sports that is loved by some and hated by others? In other words, is PE in crisis? In this book we challenge and support you to consider the following: Is your current PE curriculum provision meeting your personal philosophy or 'why' for PE? Does your day-to-day offer meet your departments curriculum intent? Do you fully understand and nurture physical literacy? Do you meet the needs of all students or just little versions of yourself? Does your offer genuinely prepare all students for their life beyond school? Is PE equally valued by all at your school? If the answer to any of the above questions is no, then surely it is time to change! PE has the potential to provide all students with the tools to live longer, feel happier and communicate more effectively. PE has the power to help you lead and be led, deal with stress, embrace failure and so much more. "This book encapsulates the journey of one head of PE in his pursuit of trying to design, implement and evaluate a more effective approach towards physical education curriculum design, promote inclusive pedagogies and a holistic approach to assessment. Lee is an inspirational practitioner who had, and continues to have, the courage to think differently in the best interests of his students. With a plethora of calls for the physical education community to adapt their approach from a game, skills-based and sport-techniques structure, but with little guidance on how this can be achieved, Lee has crafted a highly effective alternative approach. Lee provides an example here of how physical education can be re-designed to be more impactful, engaging, and meaningful in doing so it has also reinvigorated his and his student's enjoyment of physical education and physical activity."
