HSP Framework
  • Elementary School--at least 150 minutes of
    physical education per week throughout the
    academic year
  • Middle School--at least 225 minutes of physical
    education per week for all years of middle school
  • High School--equivalent of one and one-half
    years of physical education

Why PE?
  • Physical education is unique to the school
    curriculum as the only program that provides
    students with opportunities to learn motor
    skills, develop fitness and gain understanding
    about physical activity.
  • Benefits gained from physical activity in
    physical education class include disease
    prevention, safety and injury avoidance,
    decreased morbidity and premature mortality, and
    increased mental health.
  • The physical education program is the place where
    students learn about all of the benefits gained
    from being physically active as well as the
    skills and knowledge to incorporate safe,
    satisfying physical activity into their lives.

Why PE?
  • A study at San Diego State University suggests
    participation in a high-activity physical
    education program may strengthen scores for
    elementary-age children on standardized tests.
    The two-year evaluation of 759 fourth and fifth
    graders showed the increased physical activity
    could help maintain or increase academic
    performance.

Why PE?
  • Across studies, increased time for physical
    education does not negatively impact achievement
    in other subjects.
  • Coe DP, et al. Effect of physical education and
    activity levels on academic achievement in
    children. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2006381515-19.
  • Students who report getting As and Bs in all
    subjects are more likely report higher levels of
    engagement in moderate to vigorous physical
    activity during physical education class

    Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2003

Why PE?
  • Physical education
  • contributes directly to development of physical
    competence and fitness
  • helps students to make informed choices and
    understand the value of leading a physically
    active lifestyle
  • can affect both academic learning and physical
    activity patterns of students
  • Healthy, physically active students are more
    likely to be academically motivated, alert, and
    successful
