During the featured article “how to make your exercise high last,” the author, S. Angle, describes the high you receive during and after a workout. This high is a feeling that you can’t miss, it happens after a great workout is finished, this feeling puts one's self in an astounding mood, plus making you ready for your next workout. The only problem with this is that it simply lasts for about 20 to 30 minutes before the feeling begins to go away. Studies by Johannes Fuss, Ph.D., the lead research of this study, have recently proven that this high feeling that many people enjoy are from our levels of endocannabinoids, and endorphins being at high levels. Endocannabinoids tend to have a more powerful effect on how we feel. Firstly, Endocannabinoids

As an elective class, I have from gifted to LEP students; from native English speakers to ELLs (Beginning and Intermediate levels). Physical Education plays a critical role in educating the whole student. Like other academic courses, physical education is based upon rigorous national standards that define what students should know and be able to do as a result of participation. Physical education is unique to the school curriculum as it is the only program that provides students with opportunities to learn motor skills, develop fitness, and gain understanding about the importance of physical activity. My students are provided with an individualized, developmentally appropriate, and personally challenging instructional program that increases their knowledge, confidence, skills, and

Macbeth’s ambition develops into a cruel and evil passion after his murder of King Duncan and creates in him a desire to be, the ‘be all and end all’ of Scotland. Prior to murdering the King, Macbeth shows only a slight trend towards evilness. This is trivial compared to Lady Macbeth’s overriding evilness. In plotting to and finally succeeding in convincing Macbeth to kill the King, Lady Macbeth shows a vial evilness. This is first manifest when she appeals to the spirits to,

Currently the United States has the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. It’s plan is to help individuals have affordable health care coverage. However, it has raised some red flags. “ The AMA is against it, AARP is against it, the American Hospital Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Catholic Health Association of the United States and the Children's Hospital Association are all against it” (“Republican”). To replace Obamacare, many politicians in the democratic and liberal parties are pushing for Universal Health Care.

When the demands exceed a child’s cognitive and physical development, the child may develop feelings of failure, leading them to become more frustrated. Even if coaches are available to teach rules and skills, children may not be ready to learn or understand what is being taught. Furthermore, many coaches are not equipped to deal with the needs or abilities of children. Most youth sports coaches are volunteers with little to no formal training in development, although educational programs are available for youth sports coaches. Many basic motor skills, such as, catching, kicking, and hitting a ball, do not develop sooner simply as a result of introducing them to children at an earlier age. If these are taught or expected before the child is developmentally ready, it is more likely to create more frustration than success in the sport. Nonetheless, coaches may still try to teach what often cannot be learned and blame resulting failures on the athletes or themselves

This paper aims at evaluating a child-centered approach as an appropriate means of ensuring an adequate experience of learning within sport and physical education among young people. In her earlier work, Armour (2010, pp. 31-53) argues that sport pedagogy can be defined as a multi-disciplinary study and development of the intricate and teemed space where exercise, sport, education, physical activity, and science meet in practice. Narrowly, and according to Kirk (2012, pp. 29-31), physical education forms an integral part of the process of education which utilizes physical activity as the basic means to elevate psychomotor, cognitive, and socio-affective growth such that the quality of life is enhanced. In the past, the focus of physical education has been on the psychomotor or physical aspect of learning (Fellows, 2012, pp.

Millions of children engage in different types of physical activities and sports around the world. Being involved in these programs provides many health benefits and aids in life long physical skills. Through participation in sports and physical activities, children gain friendships and learn how to cooperate and interact with other children. Participating and sports also provides openings for children to develop characteristics and values that are beneficial to personal growth as they mature.

This idea aligns somewhat with the Self Determination Theory, which attempts to uncover the motivations that drive people to do what they do. A method of research involving the use of Self Determination Theory may help us to understand something such as maintaining motivation to better oneself through exercise, which can lead to various benefits not only for us physically, but psychologically as

One of the most important goals for educating the students of today is preparing them to live a successful life not only mentally but physically as well. Students ultimately have to understand and be experienced with many physical activities(e.g. running) in order to accomplish a physically healthy lifestyle. Both the National Physical Education Standards(AAHPERD) and the Mississippi Physical Education Frameworks assist educators in designing a curriculum that teaches students about the necessity and fundamentals of physical activity. There are obvious differences and similarities between both educational standards as far as their content and structure goes. However, both the purpose and function of both standards are still analogous. Both standards inform educators of what students should be able to know and do at specific grade levels like the College and Career Readiness/core standards. Similarly, like with all educational standard, both standards functions as a model and guide that includes suggestions of teaching strategies, learning objectives, and much more depending on which one educators choose to use when developing their curriculum. All in all, both standards were comprehensive in providing information on how to design a curriculum that disciplines students into healthy individuals with effective implementation.

Being involved with athletics at a young age is typically looked at as being a good activity that gets children involved and gets them out for their 60 minutes of play a day. Little do many people know, there are many benefits to youth sport than just a child’s daily exercise. Along with there being many positives and benefits to youth sport, there are also negatives that can come about. Many of the benefits include physical, psychological, intellectual, and social benefits. Some of the negatives that can occur from youth sport are the possibilities of loss of self-confidence, frustration, burnout, and injuries. There are many ways to try and make sure that the youth reap all of the benefits from sport at a young age and there are certain elements that coaches, parents, and teachers should take to maximize the befits of sport.

Besides, through sports many people can be reached and get attached to the school in a different way then with academics. Nowadays, students are less and less interested in learning new things and gaining knowledge, which is supposed to be the most powerful weapon. This phenomenon is shown in the high school dropout rates and less extracurricular participation during high school (Whitley, 1999). For many students physical activation is a more relatable field and helps them in developing confidence and a pride for and by the school (DeMeulenaere, 2010). The developed

When considering enjoyment, known factors that affect the participation for youth sport participants are motivational climate and coaching behaviors. . The very first coach that a child encounter plays a very important role in the child’s sports life. In fact, the first coach a child encounters can be the determinant if the child will return to participating in the sport or not. Coaches need to motivate the children to play and continue athletic involvement. However, there are numerous external factors that are involved in the child’s sports life such as: peers, academics, parents, anxiety, and of course the relationship between the coach and the athlete.

Motivation and theories -------------------------- 2.1. Definition and theory framework ------------------------------------ Motivation can be described as the driving force of individual behaviour to fulfill needs or achieve goals. Mitchell defines motivation as 'the degree to which an individual wants and chooses to engage in certain specified behaviours' (Mullins 2002:418). In terms of this definition, various theories have been developed around.

Physical education is defined nowadays as a “systematic instruction in sports, exercises, and hygiene given as part of a school or college program” (Park). When most people think of the term “physical education” they think of it as “a broad, inclusive term comprising the fields of physical education, health education, safety education, athletics, recreation, dance education, kinesiology and so on” (Zeigler 1). It may sometimes be referred to as physical training or gym class and mainly is taught in grades kindergarten all to the way up to your senior year in high-school in the United States. The history of physical education dates way back to the Greek and Roman times and has slowly evolved into what it is now today. There is a
