Physical Education / Effects on Children's Health
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper exploring studies regarding children's level of fitness, health status, and whether or not physical education exercise improves their health. Educational studies have been conducted on the effects of exercise and physical education since the 1950s, yet, despite the results of the studies, PE programs are historically reduced or eliminated as costs rise and budgets shrink. Is this practice in the best interest of the children? Is there evidence of sufficient gains to warrant a cry from the public to retain, and in fact, to improve physical education programs? The writer of this paper offers research suggesting this is exactly what should happen. Specific research studies are described with statistics regarding the health problems already showing up in children of all ages.
