Get Kids Moving

In K-12 Physical Education programs, the main focus is to get kids moving.

95% of the time they spend in class they should be physically active.

Great channel for energized kids to exert energy.

Lifetime Activity

A way to get kids to enjoy physical activity is to teach them a lifetime activity.

This could be a team or individual sport.

If a child finds an activity they enjoy, they are more likely to continue this activity as an adult.

Increase Health

Burns body fat

Increase in muscular strength

Increase in muscular endurance

Provides a better body composition

Increase in cardiovascular endurance

Good for your heart

Kids

I enjoy working with kids of all ages. I currently coach football at the 9 th grade level. I receive great joy when I can teach them something, see them learn it, and apply it to their life.

Click the picture below to view a video of a drill sergeant classroom. This is not the teacher that I would want to be, but rather an example of what not to do.

I am interested in all of the components of Physical Education.

Active

I am an active person. I enjoy being active whenever I can. I like to play both individual and team sports. I also enjoy playing games than involve me to be active.

Need for Increase

There is a need for increase in Physical Education in the K-12 educational system today more than ever.

Obesity

Time

Health Concerns

Obesity

Over the past three decades, the childhood obesity rate has

more than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5 years and adolescents aged 12-19 years

tripled for children aged 6-11 years.

At present, approximately nine million children over 6 years of age are considered obese.

Time

60 minutes per day of physical activity that is developmentally appropriate, enjoyable, and involves a variety of activities

Can be accumulated throughout the day in school, during PE and recess, during intramural sports, and in before-school and after-school programs.

Health Concerns

Getting the proper mount of physical activity along with the proper diet can prevent these illnesses/diseases:

coronary heart disease

heart attack

type 2 diabetes
