Preface

I n the face of a growing obesity pandemic, physical educators confront a long-standing responsibility that has taken on even greater importancethe health and wellness of a diverse, increasingly sedentary population of children and adolescents. With this responsibility comes an opportunity to have a powerful and positive effect on hundreds of young people each year. By teaching them the skills and knowledge that they need to live physically active lives and by giving them the appreciation and confidence to do so, you are preparing them to avoid many major diseases and to live healthier, less stressful, and more productive lives.

The role that physical education plays in preparing students for lifelong health is clear; the link between participation in regular physical activity and good health and improved cognitive performance is increasingly well documented. Physical education in the schools affords the best opportunity to reach most of the population. But a physical education program that successfully prepares students for healthy lives must be far more than the roll-out-the-ball programs that are stereotyped in the media, that some adults remember from their experiences with physical education, and that, sadly, are still seen in some schools today.

Physical Best Content

This book was developed to provide a comprehensive guide to incorporating health-related fitness and lifetime physical activity into quality physical education programs. It provides a conceptual framework based on current research and includes a wealth of examples from experienced physical educators. It provides specific advice on integrating all aspects of a quality health-related fitness education program. Examples from the third edition include how to teach fitness concepts through enjoyable physical activity and how to use fitness assessment as an educational and motivational tool.

For veteran teachers, this book outlines strategies for emphasizing health-related fitness while still maintaining all the components of an existing program. For new teachers, this book details aspects of creating an effective fitness education program by illustrating details with specific examples from master teachers.

Part I introduces health-related fitness by providing an in-depth look at physical activity behavior and motivation. Basic training principles for fitness are also examined. Because nutrition is an essential component of body composition, part I concludes with an overview of nutrition that includes the foundations of a healthy diet, relating body composition to other health-related fitness components, and updated dietary tools.

An overview of health-related physical fitness concepts is provided in part II. Specifically, the third edition addresses aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition as they relate to the teaching of kindergarten through 12th-grade students. Because knowledge of fitness has been rapidly evolving and some disagreement still exists (even among exercise physiologists) about appropriate exercise protocols, discussions of controversial topics along with recommendations for addressing these issues in your program are provided. Suggestions are provided at the end of chapters 5, 6, and 7 for ways to address motor skills by using activities that deal with aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility.

In part III strategies are outlined for developing a health-related fitness education curriculum that will serve varying program needs. Effective teaching methods that encourage the inclusion of all studentsin the gymnasium, on the field, or in the classroomare examined in chapter 10.

Assessment is an important component of effective teaching, and part IV provides a detailed look at assessing health-related fitness. The discussion includes appropriate uses of fitness assessment results and ways in which to assess fitness concept knowledge, participation in physical activity, and evidence of growth in the affective domain.
