physical activity breaks.
hi dear,
can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?
I just need to 2 responses to the Discussions, and about 100 words for each responses.
1) According to the Youth Physical Activity: The Role of Schools, what schools can do to promote physical activity describes various activities that schools can practice to encourage students to be physically active for example: policies that support physical activity, educate parents on the importance of physical activity, motivate school staff to be physically active to be role models for students, and collaborate and invite families and local groups to participate in school-base physical activity and events that promote physical activity (Youth Physical Activity:The Role of Schools, 2009). As I reflect on my experience in elementary school we didn’t have a physical activity policy or physical activity programs. Our teacher would take all the class out to play a sport once a week and that was considered our P.E. time. Teachers didn’t get involved, they usually just watched students. I don’t remember ever having an event that promoted physical activity. I also remember that students couldn’t join a sport team until they reached 5th or 6thgrade and lower grades couldn’t participate until they reached 5th grade. I remember complaining to my parents about this, I wanted to participate and wasn’t allowed until I was in 5th grade. I felt my school did a horrible job in promoting physical activity. We did have recess but didn’t have a quality physical education class nor physical activity breaks.
2) The CDC recommends that children, aged 6-17, get at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity activity daily which includes aerobic, muscle strengthening, and bone strengthening at least 3 times per week. (CDC, 2018). This recommendation is actually doable, but I feel when not influenced by parents/caregivers and school officials, this is easy to be dismissed in this day of increased technology use and indoor activities.
