Meet Andrea. A very intelligent brown haired, green eyed ten year old
|
|
girl. Like many Canadian children, Andrea spends twenty-five to thirty
|
|
hours in school each week- sitting. Andrea's school kept her mind active.
|
|
Too bad they forgot about her body. She is just one of the thousands of
|
|
Canadian children who can't even run around the block. According to recent
|
|
studies, children who participate in daily physical activities are more
|
|
fit, have better health habits, and perform better academically. Therefore
|
|
it is my belief that all Canadian schools should balance academics with
|
|
quality, daily physical education.
|
|
|
|
School children who participate in daily physical activities are more
|
|
fit. In North America, forty percent of all five to eight year olds can be
|
|
classified as obese, and beyond the age of twelve only ten percent of
|
|
Canadian youth are active enough to receive any kind of health benefit. I
|
|
am proud to be among this minority, however; I recognize that our nation is
|
|
experiencing a health crisis. What we need to do (both parents and
|
|
students) is encourage the introduction of a new school program, which
|
|
develops and maintains cardio-respiratory efficiency, muscular strength,
|
|
muscular endurance and flexibility. This program must be for everyone, not
|
|
just the elite athlete. We need a program that encourages a positive
|
|
attitude towards personal fitness by meeting the needs and interests of all
|
|
students. Most importantly, the program must be fun. By providing a
|
|
series of planned activities on a daily basis, we can be sure to see a
|
|
dramatic increase in physical fitness.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, active children will develop better health habits. If
|
|
students become more aware of their bodies, they will appreciate the
|
|
relationship between exercise and health. They will take an interest in
|
|
this relationship and become responsible for their personal health care.
|
|
In turn, active children will shy away from smoking, alcohol, and substance
|
|
abuse. Students will be reluctant to take part in such activities because
|
|
they will be fully aware of the negative effects on the body. These
|
|
children will also develop a positive attitude towards an active lifestyle.
|
|
Continual physical education will instill in the child the desire to
|
|
participate and the ability to use leisure time wisely. A child's eating
|
|
habits will also improve. The active child will choose their foods more
|
|
carefully to reflect their new, healthy lifestyle. They will feast on the
|
|
natural sugars in apples and oranges, rather than on the sugar of a Twix
|
|
bar. And water will be the most refreshing drink on the market. Patterns
|
|
developed early in life are likely to be carried on through to adulthood.
|
|
What a wonderful life!
|
|
|
|
A third advantage to vigorous physical activity for the student is
|
|
enhanced academic performance. Exercise increases alertness as well as
|
|
energy levels; therefore the active child comes to school ready to learn.
|
|
A study done by Taylor & Taylor in 1989 states: "An individual enjoys
|
|
improved concentration, enhanced memory and learning, enhanced creativity,
|
|
better problem-solving ability, and improved mood state for up to two hours
|
|
following exercise." Students who are comfortable with their bodies tend
|
|
to show a general boost in confidence. They become more willing to take
|
|
risks in other areas of school life, including academics. Self-confidence
|
|
allows a child to participate more freely in the classroom. A child
|
|
who exhibits low self-esteem will take fewer risks and undoubtedly miss out
|
|
on many opportunities in life. Sports also allows the student to practice
|
|
social skills in an informal environment. Skills such as; co-operation,
|
|
responsibility, leadership, communication and self-control. Not only are
|
|
these skills essential in the classroom, but they are also essential for a
|
|
rewarding and successful life.
|
|
|
|
Quality, daily physical education means a planned program of
|
|
instruction and activity. This program is for all students, to be
|
|
exercised on a daily basis, throughout the entire school year. The benefits
|
|
are known and the need is obvious. What could be more important? Now,
|
|
just imagine what Andrea could achieve if her mind and body were both
|
|
active!
