Benefits of Physical Activity Benefits of Physical Activity
Improved health & fitnessBetter behaviorImproved focus & time on taskReduced feelings of stress & anxietyImproved academic performance
There is no negative effect from daily physical activity/education on
academic performance.
A study of more than 200 6th grade students in Michigan, conducted in 2006, found that students enrolled in PE had similar grades and standardized test scores as students who were not enrolled in PE, despite receiving 55 fewer minutes of daily classroom instruction.
14 published studies analyzing data from approximately 58,000 students between 1967 and 2006 have investigated the link between overall participation in physical activity and academic performance.
11 of those studies found regular participation in physical activity is associated with improved academic performance.

Mahar MT, Murphy SK, et al. Effects of a classroom-based program on physical activity and on-task behavior. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise 2006; 38:2086-2094.
A study of elementary school students in North Carolina found students’ observed on-task classroom behavior improved with daily 10- minute physical activity breaks.
.
Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity EVERYDAY! Classroom teachers are encouraged to:
Start the day with a morning stretch or dance party 5 min
Provide brief bouts of physical activity before, during, or after sedentary classroom periods. When possible, have movement integrated into the academic content.
5-10 min
Incorporate short movements into transition times5-10 min
Provide at least one daily period of recess (not to replace the PE requirement, but an additional activity period of free play);
20 min
Total: 35 – 45 minutes
Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity EVERYDAY! Schools are encouraged to:
Provide intramural activities for all students, including those with particular physical activity needs and who are at high-risk for sedentary lifestyle.
30 - 60 min
Establish a Safe Routes to School program. 5-20 min
Set up a morning walk / jog program 10-20 min
Ensure that physical activity cannot be taken away from students nor can excessive exercise be used as a form of punishment.
Modify schedule to put PE before students’ most difficult classes.
Creating the Atmosphere•Engaging secondary students in physical activity throughout the school day can be a challenge. Students may be reluctant to participate due to feeling uncomfortable.
•If you participate in movement, your students are more likely to join you.
•Tell your students why physical activity throughout the day is necessary (it gets the blood flowing to the brain so they can think better and will feel more alert).
•Don’t be afraid to try new activities to get the students moving.

Managing Activity BurstsManaging Activity Burstsand theand the
Physically Active ClassroomPhysically Active Classroom
1. Explain the purpose for the breaks or physical activity
2. Establish routines and standards, then practice them
3. Start with short, low-intensity activities
4. Move to longer and higher intensity activities
5. Show your support for physical activity by exercising
with the students
More ideas…More ideas…1. Tell students that as long as there is a clear and quick
transition into and from PA breaks, then the breaks will keep coming.
2. Have the next classroom curriculum item ready to go immediately. If they are going to do a worksheet, then pass that out before the activity break so they can immediately sit down and start working.
“Break time”
Stop work, stand & push chairs in, and wait quietly
“Freeze”
Stop immediately in place
“Polite Walking”
Walking under control with respect for others
“Responsible”
Enjoying the activity without interrupting others
Practice starting and stopping over and over
