1. Editor's Note
If you're looking for your morning chuckle...and also want a video you can use to inspire some students, watch this video from a European fitness campaign. It features a group of middle aged men attempting to play soccer while sitting in their reclining chairs.
These articles are available to members of PE Update.com.
Research has shown that compression shorts not only reduce injury risk, they can also improve performance.
With older models of plastic water bottles deemed potentially unsafe, here are the best options for physical education students and varsity athletes.
A relay race for physical education class in which students must bounce balloons...and break them too.
A drill that a group of beginners can use in physical education class - indoors - to learn the basics of the golf swing .
Physical education students can drink orange juice or another source of vitamin C with non-heme foods to increase the absorption of iron.
Every day of physical education added to the weekly school curriculum reduces the likelihood of adult obesity by 5%. Daily PE reduces it by 28%!!
This blog is a repeat of an article added to the website this week, but I thought it was appropriate. It discusses a study that showed a 5% reduction in adult obesity that resulted from every additional day of PE added to the school week. These results prove the worth of quality daily physical education in our schools!
