Research shows that fewer than half of American children meet fitness standards on fitness tests. Additional evidence indicates that physical education in schools is not meeting children's needs
What are some suggestions that you might make for improving physical education in schools?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will include the following key points:
+ Offer physical education more frequently each week (as opposed to once a week).
+ Offer a range of activities in which all children can participate and which can be the foundation for a lifelong program of physical fitness (e.g., walking, running, and swimming).
+ Emphasize these lifetime physical fitness activities (e.g., walking, running, swimming, and racquet sports) more than team sports (e.g., touch football).
+ Encourage families to promote fitness at home.
