Routledge Handbook of Physical Activity Policy and Practice

Of these, PE is the only physical activity program institutionalized in U. It is a mandated curricular area in nearly all 50 states, and is often referred to as the foundation of school physical activity. Although it is the foundation, the broader implications of PE relative to other school physical activity programs remains unclear. The purpose of our study was to explore these relationships. Objectives The specific objectives of our study were to assess the relationships of various district- and school-level elementary school PE policies to school-level recess policies and practices.

S-PAPA is a validated instrument that provides information on the adoption and implementation of district- and school-level policy areas and related school environmental variables at the school site.

School Physical Education Policies: Relationship to Recess Policy and Practice

It has three distinct sections: We used descriptive statistics percentages to describe PE and recess policy adoption and recess practice at the school level. We used logistic regression to assess the odds of a school having individual recess policies or practices when specific district- or school-level PE policies were adopted. Recess policies were less common than PE policies, and the most prevalent of recess policies related to playground facility maintenance, recess minutes per day, and the training of playground supervisors.

Fifty-six percent of schools reported this same PE policy at the school level requiring a specific number of minutes or days of PE per week. Conclusions This is one of the first studies to examine the impact of PE policies on physical activity opportunities outside of PE, and our results showed that adoption of PE policy by a school has important implications for recess policies and practices.

In particular, a PE policy requiring a specific number of minutes or days of PE per week at both the district and schools levels appears to be extremely important relative to schools adopting recess policies and practices. The "Active Living Conference" aims to break down research and practice silos and The Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport series is a forum for the discussion of the latest and most important ideas and issues in physical education, sport, and active leisure for young people across school, club and recreational settings.

The series presents the work of the best well-established and emerging scholars from around the world, offering a truly international perspective on policy and practice.

It aims to enhance our understanding of key challenges, to inform academic debate, and to have a high impact on both policy and practice, and is thus an essential resource for all serious students of physical education and youth sport. Learn More about VitalSource Bookshelf.
