The Washington Post
In her book You Are Your Own Best Teacher!: Sparking the Curiosity, Imagination, and Intellect of Tweens, social scientist Claire Nader offers startling statistics. Decades ago, daily PE was the norm. These days, she said, only 4% of elementary schools, 7% of middle schools and 2% of high schools have daily PE the entire school year. “When money gets tight, PE is one of the first to go,” said Terri Drain, past president of SHAPE America.

In their book The Kinesthetic Classroom, Traci Lengel and Mike Kuczala cite studies that show us how learning certain concepts through movement is efficient and long-lasting. Movement gives learning experiences something fresh and new, which the brain likes. This novelty helps keep the attention of the students, making their learning efficient ... even those students who are timid and reluctant to participate at first are nevertheless paying attention and are interested in what’s going on around them.

The Buffalo News

Ever wonder where kids get so much energy? Today's typical 5-year-old eats almost 600,000 calories each year — that's a lot of fuel for a small body. These vast reserves of energy come in handy for games of freeze tag and neighborhood bike races. But many kids barely tap into their supply. It doesn't take many calories to watch Power Rangers, sort Pokemon cards, or play Crash Bandicoot on the Nintendo.

CSUF News

A national study of 11,235 youth ages 9 to 13 has found that participation in a team sport is associated with fewer mental health difficulties. However, youth who are exclusively involved in an individual sport — such as tennis or wrestling — may face greater mental health difficulties than those who do no sports at all. The study was led by Matt Hoffmann, Cal State Fullerton assistant professor of kinesiology.
