THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT, HEALTH AND PHYSICAL
EDUCATION WITHIN PRIMARY SCHOOLS
GET Active with PDHPE!
Jesse Bruce - 17529495
WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT?
Teaching PDHPE is so important because it is
making people aware of the effect that their
lifestyle choices have on their bodies. With
appropriate education our students will be
able to make the necessary changes in their
lives to become healthy.
Being Healthy is not about just being fit. It is a
state where you are mentally, physically and
spiritually grounded.
PHYSICAL INACTIVITY: A GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH
PROBLEM
According to the World Health Organisation people
are adopting increasingly more sedentary lifestyles.
What is the real problem with this?
Physical inactivity
Globally, around 31% of adults aged 15 and over
were insufficiently active in 2008 (men 28% and
women 34%). Approximately 3.2 million deaths each
year are attributable to insufficient physical activity.
http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/factsheet_inactivity/en/
HOW MUCH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SHOULD WE DO?
The recommended amount of activity for a child
between the age of five and seventeen is sixty
minutes per day and there are also benefits for doing
more than this each day.
Everyone can do exercise of some sort or another.
Those who are less able can start by doing short
amounts of activity and building up as they can.
IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WORTH IT?
 According to WHO (World Health Organisation)
Regular and adequate levels of physical activity
reduce the risk of hypertension, coronary heart
disease, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon
cancer, depression and the risk of falls;
 improve bone and functional health; and are a key
determinant of energy expenditure, and thus
fundamental to energy balance and weight control.
 Of course its worth it!
http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/pa/en/
OVERALL BENEFITS
An active lifestyle has been proven to improve the
quality of ones life. PDHPE helps to increase
awareness about the issues with a sedentary lifestyle
however it is also much more than that.
PDHPE looks at growth, physical, social and
emotional. It helps us to develop our communication
skills, influences the choices that we make, teaches
us road safety as well as safe environments and
much more.
