Issues and problems in Physical Education and Health Education

Physical InactivityWhat we need to do:• Motivates students to increase levels of

physical activity• Engaging activities• Active Software:

Instructional Time for Health and Physical Education

• Lesser emphasis

• Technology more hands-on, visual learning, motivation

Ex. Technology In The PE Classroom (XRKADE video)

• Lesson integration

Accuracy of Health and Physical Education Resources

• Top ten websites for P.E. & H.E.http

://www.education.com/reference/article/ten-websites-physical-health-education/

Addressing the Standards

• Health Literacy focus of health ed. • Competency to use information to enhance

health• Sharing of successful standards-based

curricula

Handling Controversial Health Issues

• Another “challenge”• Technology resources provide valuable

insight (e.g. videos)HIV/AIDS http

Technology Integration Strategies for Physical

Education

Supporting improved fitness

• devices help analyze, monitor and improve fitness

• fitness - good physical condition; being in shape or in condition

Heart watches – monitor heart rate as a students work toward fitness goals

Body composition analyzers

• Determine the percent of body fat

Pedometer

monitor the number of

steps one takes

Accelerometers

Count burned calories

Spirometer• Measures lung volume

Students can be put in charge of their own learning with development of fitness goals and

plans

Through five areas of health related fitness:

• Flexibility• Muscular strength• Muscular endurance• Body composition• Cardiorespiratory endurance

• The electronic portfolio of the software allows students to enter fitness plans, exercises, drawings or video clips, journal entries, caloric input/output and fitness scores which will be analyzed by the software.

Nutritional analysis programs

• To analyze calorie intake and monitor portions of required food group

Developing and improving motor skill performance

• Display model performances• Supports self-analysis and monitoring of

improvement• Gives students visual feedback on

performances• Helps teachers organize data collection and

report on students’ progress

Sample Resources

• Instructional broadcasts on motor skills(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv1mA1s8p9Y)

• Video cameras

• Biomechanical analysis programs (SportsCAD Motion Analysis)

http://www.sportscad.com/

• For Professional Instructors and Coaches - students will have better understanding of what you are trying to convey- can keep their motions on file for future comparison

• For Parents- chance to learn enough about your Childs sport and talk about it with your child and his coach- tool to become interactive in your Child’s sport development

• For you Athletes interested in maximum performance in specific sport- no better way than to "model" the motions of the best

Technology Integration Strategies to Health

Education

1. Helping students assess and enhance physical health

• BMI calculator http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/• Chrono-Geno Nutrition Diethttp://chrono-geno-nutrition.belletoday.com.ph/

2. Helping students obtain valid information

• KidsHealth.org http://www.kidshealth.org/• WebMD http://www.webmd.com/

3. Influencing health behaviors

• MyFitnesspalhttp://www.myfitnesspal.com/• Centers for Disease and Control Preventionhttp://www.cdc.gov/

4.Supporting interdisciplinary instructions

Technology in Physical Education

• Tracker

Technology in Physical Education

• Quintic

Technology in Physical Education• Kinovea

Technology in Health Education

Blood pressure devices

• Sphygmomanometer

BIA

• Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) - a method used for estimating body composition, and in particular body fat

Heart rate monitors

• Heart watches

• Electrocardiography- test records the electrical activity of the heart- used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats, as well as the size and position of the chambers

Pedometer

monitor the number of

steps one takes
