Physical education is one of many academic areas that has expanded into the creation and use of podcasts. However, there is little research about the influence of podcasts on PE. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of listening to a podcast on undergraduate students’ learning of inclusion and integration within a PE setting.

Catch News

The findings of recent research have suggested that people with developmental disabilities don't exercise as often as their typically developed peers. In an effort to close this disparity, a researcher at the University of Missouri recently created fitness picture books that help youth with autism exercise more frequently. The findings published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis also offer low-income families a simple resource for workout motivation when outdoor fitness equipment might not be accessible. 

 

TIME

Resiliency — the ability to bounce back from tough experiences — has been a buzzword during the pandemic as parents wonder how months of isolation, anxiety and boredom will impact their children in the long term. “Resiliency is a skill that can be learned, practiced and developed as kids grow,” says Allie Riley, who oversees programming and evaluation for Girls on the Run, a non-profit that helps girls develop social and emotional skills through physical activity.

Physician Steven Shapiro chairs the pediatrics department at Abington Hospital … and a big chunk of his medical practice these days is devoted to mental health issues, far more than ever before. "Twenty percent of the calls I take now are to put kids on more medicine for panic attacks and anxiety," said Shapiro. "It's more than you could ever believe.” 

 

Psychology Today

As with many other physicians, recommending physical activity to patients was just a doctor chore for me — until a few years ago. That was because I myself was not very active. Over the years, as I picked up boxing and became more active, I got firsthand experience of positive impacts on my mind. I also started researching the effects of dance and movement therapies on trauma and anxiety in refugee children, and I learned a lot more about the neurobiology of exercise.
