Physical Vs. Physical Education

Dear Mrs. Smith, Physical Education is good for use because that's the time we take we take out all are energy. So we can waist are energy so can get throw the rest of the day. Physical Education is for us to learn about are body's and how they work and how we watch what we are eating and doing in are lives. I want to know that I can have fun and do fun sports and learn about are body's parts and how they work.

First of all, students do not have much knowledge about the different fitness components; they do not understand the relation between the fitness components and health. If students acquire the background knowledge about fitness, it could improve the class engagement and motivation, and increase the independent drive to exercise. Second barrier to students’ achievement is the lack of motivation to be active, and even more difficult, to specific fitness activities, such as sit-ups and push-ups. In today’s society, students spend more time sitting in front a screen and less time moving. Parent and school today have more responsibility making sure the children get enough physical activity. According to the New York Times (2016), “early school physical education (PE) programs can make a significant difference, and the earlier these routines are learned the more likely they will be carried forth into a healthy adulthood”. Another barrier that prevents students’ success is the loss of instructional time due to discipline problems. The classes are too big, with many diverse students with individual problems, which are difficult to address when these issues are from very different backgrounds. Finally, there is not enough support from home affecting not only physical education, but

Physical education classes are not enjoyed by all, in fact, some students do their best to get out of the class each day, but without this class, students would sit in school for seven hours a day with the only exercise being walking from class to class. While changing clothes and possibly getting sweaty may not seem productive for students who have spent an hour doing their hair, or feel awkward changing in front of others, this class provides positive ways of fighting obesity, releasing energy, retaining more academically, and learning discipline. Thus, students should be required to take physical education courses in high school.

Not only do schools offer unhealthy foods for children, but most do not offer the required amount of physical activity. Most adolescents fall short of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommendation of at least one hour of aerobic activity every day. Only 18% of students in high school met that recommendation in 2007. All schools need to require some sort of a physical activity class. In 2009 only 33% took daily physical education classes. (CDC 2) Needless to say, schools play a very crucial role in the problem of childhood obesity. Physical Activity in schools could be a huge key in helping fix this problem.

Physical education has numerous psychological, sociological, and physiological benefits. At its core, proper physical education class helps children become more intelligent, learn cooperation and teamwork, reduce stress, improve self-confidence and develop self-esteem.

Requiring physical education does not mean that students will be spending more time exercising. According to a study done by John Cawley at Cornell University, an additional two hundred minutes of physical education a week only increases activity levels by seven minutes (Cawley). Expecting

I believe that physical education and health give a unique opportunity to the students to contribute to the overall well-being and student’s development. As a teacher I believe that the most important things that I can teach my students is a love to be physically active because i believe that physical ability will affect every aspect of student’s life including their mental health, academic achievement, self-esteem, social competency and ability to function well in any environment. The purpose of physical education and health class is to provide the concepts of health and skill related fitness in order to create the student with continuous physically active that can promote the development of life long movers. Physical education and health

Physical education can go beyond just working out. Physical education involves several different approaches for learning. High school students gain more than physical knowledge yet it can improve there approaches toward responsibility, their sportsmanship, and their overall community.

Physical Education is required in every high school in the United States and it is that way for a reason. Many people argue that P.E. classes are not important. Those are false statements when looking at the growing cases of obesity in teens in America. There are many reasons why physical education is required, its good for teens health, it teaches them about nutrition and exercise, it helps relieve stress, and it can help students develop good habits that they can use for the rest of their life.

The perspective of this paper is to develop a philosophy on physical education and then explain what kind of job we plan on having later on in life and relate physical education to that. The purpose for developing this philosophy is to try and get the most out of the people I’m working with on physical education, whether it is an adult or adolescent.

This country has a major health problem! According to the American Heart Organization, the obesity rate in children is 33 percent (Christopher Song). There have been many solutions to address this epidemic, but there hasn’t been a lasting one. Imagine walking into a first hour class actually feeling active, refreshed, and energetic because of the morning fitness class the school offered. Should students be able to skip physical education? All students would be able to stay awake and pay attention to their teacher if this fitness class was enforced. Although many students complain that P.E. class is downtime and not enjoyable, they do not understand the main idea of providing physical education. However, by increasing student participation and instructing units that are more significant to students’ interests, P.E. can be made both more amusing and viable as methods for exercise. Physical education should be a mandatory class for all four years of high school because it increases academic progress and reduces stress.

Obesity and health issues have affected our country immensely. 1 in 3 kids in America are overweight. Physical education can help to put a stop to this. Because students think they should be getting more classroom time or they are in a sport, they think they shouldn't have to take P.E. (Physical Education). They should take the class because exercise helps to reduce obesity issues, it boosts student self-esteem, and it helps in the classroom.

But physical education isn't only exercising. It can be sports too. Even if your school doesn't have a PE program, they will most likely have sports. Some school sports are football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, ECT... Sports keep you active and movind around so they give you exercise. So, whether you spiking a volleyball or shooting some hoops, you are staying active.

There is nothing more important than health, especially in this day and age. It’s concerning that only 29 percent of high school students surveyed by the CDC (2011) had participated in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on all seven days before the survey. The CDC also noted that only 31 percent of these high school students attended physical education class daily. Only 8 percent of elementary schools, 6.4 percent of middle schools, and 5.8 percent of high schools provide daily physical education to all of its students (SHPPS, 2000). The government is missing the fact that physical education can actually improve test scores, not the opposite.

In the modern schools, too many elementary schools are so centered academics and don’t focus on the well-being of the students. The school systems also don’t realize that physical activity can help students perform better in the classrooms. In the recent years, there has been a worldwide tendency to reduce school-based physical education in favor of academic subjects. Given the beneficial effects of exercise and the disadvantages of a sedentary lifestyle, cutbacks in physical education lessons are not near as productive as people think. Systematic reviews provide clear
