2 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH Fact Sheets

3 LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF PHYSICAL INACTIVTIY n Physical inactivity & poor diet account for at least 300,000 (in 1990) preventable deaths. n Only tobacco use accounts for more preventable deaths (400,000) n Physical inactivity increases the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and the effects of high blood pressure (I.e.,stroke).

4 Actual Causes of Death in the United States, 1990 Source: McGinnis JM, Foege WH. JAMA 1993;270:2207-12. 400,000 300,000 100,000 90,000 30,000 20,000 0 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 TobaccoDiet/ActivityAlcoholMicrobial agents Sexual behavior Illicit use of drugs

7 THE NEED FOR HEALTH-RELATED PHYSICAL EDUCATION n The percentage of overweight children has more than doubled in the past 30 years. n 5 million children are seriously overweight n Most obese children become obese adults and are at increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and cancer

8 80% of adult smokers started smoking before they finished high school Source: U.S. DHHS. Surgeon General’s Report: Preventing Tobacco Use Among Young People, 1994 Why Target Youth?

9 n The younger people are when they start using tobacco, the more likely they are to become dependent on nicotine –25% of high school students smoked a whole cigarette before age 13* n Physical activity and dietary patterns may be established during childhood and adolescence *CDC, National Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 1997

10 Why Target Youth? n Risk factors for heart disease and diabetes develop early in life Triglycerides LDC-Cholesterol HDL-Cholesterol (low) Insulin Blood Pressure

11 Why Target Youth? n Risk factor trends are going in the wrong direction n Atherosclerosis is present in late adolescence

12 Why Target Youth? n % of children, aged 5-10, with 2 or more adverse CVD risk factor levels: Source: Freedman DS et al. Pediatrics 1999;103:1175-82 27.1% 6.9% n % of children, aged 5-10, with 1 or more adverse CVD risk factor levels:

37 BENEFITS OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY n Builds Healthy Bones and Muscles n Builds Lean Muscle and Reduces Fat n Reduces Risk of Heart Disease, Diabetes, Cancer, Hypertension, Osteoporosis, etc n Reduces Stress and Depression n Improves Fitness & Quality of Life

38 STATEMENT ON EXERCISE FROM THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION n “Regular aerobic physical activity increases exercise capacity and plays a role in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Inactivity is recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease.

39 A.H.A. LABELS PHYSICAL INACTIVITY AS A FOURTH RISK FACTOR FOR CORONARY HEART DISEASE n New York, July 1, 1992 - The American Heart Association today labeled physical inactivity, or lack of exercise, as a fourth risk factor for coronary heart disease along with smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. Regular physical activity plays a significant role in preventing heart and blood vessel disease and there is a relationship between physical inactivity and cardiovascular mortality.

40 WHY CHILDREN NEED HEALTH- RELATED PHYSICAL EDUCATION n Quality physical education can: –reduce the risk of heart disease –improve fitness –regulate weight –promote active lifestyles & health –reduce stress & depression –increase self-esteem & confidence –develop motor skills –improve goal setting & self-discipline

43 PARTICIPATION IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & PHYSICAL EDUCATION n Half of young people aged 12-22 do not engage in regular vigorous activity. n Participation in physical activity is reported by 69% of 12-13 year olds, but only 38% of 18- 21 year olds. n Participation in daily physical education continues to decline; particularly at the high school level. n Most elementary physical education is supervised by classroom teachers as ‘free play”.

44 % of Parents of Children in Grades K-12 Who: n Want their kids to receive daily physical education: n Strongly agree that physical education helps children prepare to become active, healthy adults: Source: Survey by Opinion Research Corp. based on interviews with a nationally representative sample of 1,017 adults, February 2000 (margin of error = +6%) 81% 64%

45 % of Parents of Children in Grades K-12 Who: n Believe that physical education class does not interfere with children’s academic needs: 91% n Believe that children should concentrate on academic subjects at school and leave the physical activities for after school: 15% Source: Survey by Opinion Research Corp. based on interviews with a nationally representative sample of 1,017 adults, February 2000 (margin of error = +6%)

46 SPORT PLAY & ACTIVE RECREATION FOR KIDS (SPARK) n WHAT IS SPARK? –SPARK began in 1989 at San Diego State University when a team of researchers obtained a five year grant from the National Heart, Lung, & Blood Institute to develop, implement, and experimentally evaluate a comprehensive health-related elementary physical education program.

47 WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF SPARK? n To counter heart disease by facilitating engagement in regular physical activity during physical education classes and outside of school. n Because, studies indicate that children receive physical education irregularly & often get very little activity during class.

48 UNIQUE CHARACTERISITCS OF SPARK n SPARK classes are active (50% MVPA) n SPARK promotes physical activity after school, on weekends, and during summers n SPARK is teacher friendly n SPARK consists of progressive units with each lesson pre-planned n SPARK is written to comply with NASPE guidelines & State IGOs

49 SPARK PHYSICAL EDUCATION OBJECTIVES n Enjoy & seek out physical activity (PA) n Develop a variety of motor skills that will facilitate future involvement in physical activities n Develop & maintain acceptable levels of fitness n Develop the ability to get along with others in movement environments

50 SPARK SELF-MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES n Self-responsibility for PA programs n Goal setting for PA & healthy food choices n Behavior change strategies n Injury prevention & safety n Strategies for family & peer support n Strategies to decrease sedentary behavior n Understanding the relationship between PA, diet, & body composition

51 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SPARK: THE MOST WIDELY RESEARCHED CURRICULUM EVER n SPARK can be taught effectively by classroom teachers and specialists n SPARK positively affects the levels of MVPA n SPARK facilitates MVPA, skill development & fitness n Children like SPARK activities

52 SPARKS BASICS n B - Boundaries & Routines n A - Activity for the Get-GO n S - Stop & Start Signals n I - Involvement By All n C - Concise Instructional Cues n S - Supervision

53 SPARK INSTRUCTIONAL FORMATS n Individual Days n Partner Days –Back to Back, Whistle Mixer, Taller/Shorter n Group Days –Mingle Mingle, ABC/123, Shoe Colors

54 SPARK: K-2 UNITS n Perceptual Power n Beanbag Boogie n Happy Hoops n Jumping for Joy n Having a Ball n Let’s Hit it n Great Games n Parachute Parade n Dance With Me n Super Kid Stunts

55 BEGINNING THE SCHOOL YEAR: PERCEPTUAL POWER n Perceptual Power is designed to: –Teach movement concepts n levels, pathways, personal/general space –Teach fundamental motor skills n hop, skip, gallop, slide, bend, stretch –Teach rules, routines, & procedures for management n grouping, boundaries, stop/start signals

56 ALL REMAINING K-2 SPARK UNITS n Begin with SPARK Starters that focus on providing instant activity with high levels of MVPA (10-12 minutes) n Skill instruction with continued attention to high levels of MVPA (15-20 minutes) n Cool Down & Closure (2-3 minutes)

57 Examples of SPARK Starters n Group Movement Activities –I see, I see! –Crazy Animals –Motorcycle Mania –5 Touches –Go, Car, Go! –Here Comes The Toad n Group Tag Games –T-Rex Tag –Crazy Doctor Tag –The Freeze –Bees and Honey Bears n Group Dances –The Chicken Dance –Hokey Pokey –S.H.O.E.S.

63 SPARK 3-6 UNITS: TYPE II ACTIVITIES (SKILL-RELATED FITNESS) n Frisbee n Soccer n Field Games n Gymnastics n Basketball n Hockey n Volleyball n Track & Field n Softball n Handball/Wallball or All-Run Games

64 SPARK 3-6 LESSON STRUCTURE n Introduction (warm-up) with transition to Type I Activity (15 minutes) n Type II Activity with transition to cool- down (15 minutes)

65 Fitness Assessment: SPARK PERSONAL BEST DAY n Allows students to track fitness over time n 5 times per school year n SPARK personal best lesson: –9 minute jog –modified curl-ups –push-ups

66 WVU SPARK INSTITUTE: PARTICIPANT REMARKS n The SPARK program was awesome! n Experienced teachers learned a lot too. n It helped me realize that I want to continue my education in PE. n I am excited to bring SPARK into S.C. schools. n This was a great experience for me.

67 SPARK CAVEATS SPARK CAVEATS n The SPARK curriculum can be modified n The SPARK units can be flexibly implemented but lessons should be presented in order n SPARK is about increasing MVPA in and out of school. Not increasing short term and transitory fitness test scores.

68 CONCLUSION n n SPARK argues that it is more important to focus on the “process” of physical fitness and encourage children to enjoy a lifestyle of regular physical activity than to focus on fitness testing. n n The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports (1999) agree that physical education should focus on “..physical activity rather than on physical fitness” (pg. 4).
