Year 8 Health And Physical Education Case Study

The Margaret Eaton School (MES) played an important role in Canadian physical education during a period of time known as the “golden age” for women’s sport in Canada. This essay will discuss how Margaret Eaton School came to be and why it is considered one of the leading schools in the development of women’s physical education in Canada in 1901, with the help of Emma Scott Raff and Margaret Eaton. The school started out as “The School of Expression” focusing on theatre and physical culture, and later (1925) shifted its views to focus solely on physical education. I plan to argue that from 1901 to 1942, the Margaret Eaton School played an innovative role in Canada in the development of physical education by offering women a comprehensive

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.

What impact has the 2008 National Curriculum for Physical Education, had in schools? How well does it equip children to want to take part in physical activity outside of school hours?

Goal: Patients will demonstrate a daily exercise routine or some type of physical activity in 2 weeks as evidence by performing the routine or activity. “Overall 36.2% of adults 18 years and older report no leisure-time physical activity.” (Edelman, 265) By applying some type of physical activity the family will burn calories and increase their metabolic rate. “Recommended ACSM guidelines for exercise include, a program of low-impact aerobic exercise, increase in daily activities, and resistance training, a frequency of 5 to 7 times a week, and a length of 40 to 60 minutes a day or 20 to 30 minutes twice daily.” (Edelman

This study is unique in that it examined burnout in athletic training students by using stress reducing strategies and techniques to assist with stress the athletic training students were experiencing. The intent was to determine whether or not specific stress reducing strategies and tools that were provided to assisted athletic training students to reduce stress. The Athletic Training Student Burnout Inventory (ATSBI) was developed by combining a modified version Athletic Training Burnout Inventory (ATBI) and the Gallup Student Poll (GSP). The survey consisted of 55 questions, 35 from the modified version of the ATBI and 20 from the GSP.

(p=0.037) from baseline (p = 0.046), physical activity (TM > UC), and daily weight at 90 days (TM > UC, p = 0.0332).

This family has a very sedentary lifestyle. Their only exercise is walking with the exception of Jordan. He loves to go outside and play. He also loves playing Xbox Kinect and the Wii. By trade Howard leads a very sedentary lifestyle, driving trucks for a living. Family fun time is also sedentary which consist of going to the movies, watching television and playing games. The family was encouraged to try and eat together at least two nights per week and to continue trying to incorporate vegetables in the meal plan. The family was also encouraged to grocery shop and cook together when possible. The family was also encouraged to increase their activity level for example riding bikes and going to the gym.

For example, a person may choose not to walk or bike to the store or to work because of a lack of sidewalks or safe bike trails. Community, home, child care, school, health care, and workplace settings can all influence people's daily behaviors and it’s hard for people to be physically active. Moreover, work schedules of people often say that they don't have time to be physically active because of long work hours and time spent commuting. Genes and family history, diseases, drugs, emotional factors, smoking, and lack of sleep also lead to obesity.

Client is sedentary, has put on weight, and being severely obese has high risk factors for the development of several chronic diseases and secondary health conditions.

A. Peter is a thirty-five year old single male with no children, who works at a sedentary work place five to six days a week. Peter lives at home with his elder parents and is responsible for their health and safety and seems to give less attention to his own health. Peter is overweight and has been diagnosed with obesity. Peter has a lifestyle that makes it difficult for him to commit to changing his bad food choices but tries to compensate by attending a fitness boot camp three times a week. Since he works five to six days a week as a billing agent his job places a lot of stress on him, so he spends his days off on the weekends to release some stress. Peter’s way of releasing stress is excessively drinking alcohol with his friends and going

BMI is recognized and acceptable measure for determining and evaluating childhood obesity especially those who are above two years. It is calculated by determining the ratio of weight to height. It is noteworthy that BMI range in children usually varies with sex and age. The body mass index that is above 80th percent is normally termed as overweight. However, the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” defines the BMI that is higher or equal to 90th percent as obesity. A published table is in place that determines and computes this in children of all ages. According to a report by the “US Preventive Service Task Force”, it is not a requirement for all children recording higher body mass index to consider losing weight. Although higher body mass index can be an indication of weight issues, it does not provide good differentiation between lean tissue and fat. In addition, the body mass index may mistake children with adipose tissue for

Michael, 14 years old, 4’10” tall, weighing in at 143 pounds, was unnecessary for his physical attributes. One could see the extra weight around his waist. His body mass index, (BMI) was in the obese range. Therefore, a talk was needed to improve his lifestyle. He spent six to eight hours daily on the computer, watching television, playing video games, or talking on his cell phone. After his doctor’s visit, he was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic with a blood sugar

Imagine growing up in a home where physical activity has never been a priority. You never once saw your parents exercise or make an effort to go for a walk. Even though your family is slim and eats a balanced diet, exercise wasn’t a priority. You never learned how to exercise or was never pushed to play sports. That was how it was for Jason. Pate et al., showed in a study how important the surrounds of the child are for whether they exercise when young and how it affects their future. Pate et al., showed that children who don’t have that influence when younger are less likely to exercise in adulthood. Jason is now 25 working a desk job from 9-6 Monday through Friday. Jason has begun to feel sluggish and a little depressed from being in a cubital all day and not once has exercised.

Pediatricians across the nation remind the parents that prevention is the key. It is easier to prevent the obesity than fight it. The goal of many national prevention programs is to identify environmental features that impact whether a child has access to healthy food and physical activity (Mahshid, Noori, and Merchant 4). American Academy of Pediatrics called on every provider to calculate BMI at every well-visit for children over the age of two. BMI is a simple, but an important tool in starting a conversation with parents about their children’s health and well-being. Pediatricians are promising to take their time in explaining and making sure that families understand what it means to have a healthy weight (Rabbitt, and Coyne 734).

The topic of obesity and its increasing prevalence has captured much attention in the course of several decades. With over 36 percent of the American adult population considered obese between 2011-2014, speculations about its cause, contribution to chronic health conditions, and economic burdens have received considerable awareness (Ogden, Carroll, Fryar and Flegal, 2015). Commonly in research, obesity levels are measured through the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. A BMI of 25-30 is considered overweight, and a BMI of greater than 30 is considered obese (Stommel and Schoenborn, 2009). The risk of death increases with higher BMI (due to obesity related comorbidities) accounting for nearly 300,000 deaths annually. These trends have been observed across all age groups, both genders, all educational levels, races, and smoking statuses (Aronne, 2001). While diet and energy intake have been on the forerunner when explaining weight gain, another recent trend which has been gaining notice is the shift towards a sedentary lifestyle among the US population (Blair & Brodney, 1999). In 2000, the CDC approximated that less than 30 percent of the American population gets the adequate amount of physical activity (Caballero, 2007). Physical inactivity was associated with 54% higher odds of obesity, while socioeconomic status and societal conditions further influenced its prevalence (Singh, Siahpush, Hiatt, and Timsina, 2011). As a result, in addition to weight-related diseases, obesity
