Possible Interventions?? DISCUSS Understand The Real Challenges and Causes of Inactivity Is PE at Schools Enough? Can Parents get Involve? Is Funding the Barrier? Can Fitness training be integrated into the PE Program?
Integrating Fitness Training into the PE program Vega and colleagues researched the Effects of a Circuit Training program on Muscular & Cardiovascular endurance in 10-12 year olds 72 Children were recruited and randomly grouped into Control and Experimental groups The Experimental Group followed a circuit training program for 8 weeks The Control Group maintained their normal PE and organised sport lessons during the 8 week period All participants were tested for Muscular & Cardiovascular endurance prior to commencement of study Vega and colleagues from Granada university and funded by the Spanish govt. It is possible to develop muscular and cardiovascular endurance through a short term program in the PE setting Results showed the Experimental Group significantly increased both Muscular and Cardiovascular endurance than Control Group indicating the design proposed could be effective for PE classes Vega et al. 2013
