“PE is not Sport.” A proclamation that I’ve written on social media and announced to others as a means of educating their ignorance. Those who often talk about the subject, but do not teach it, tend to view sport and physical education as the same.

Physical education (PE) is critical to students’ overall development. However, PE is often portrayed negatively on television and in movies. Having well-trained, passionate PE teachers is essential to the success of any physical education program. Good PE teachers possess the skills to deliver a comprehensive and engaging curriculum and serve as role models, inspiring students to adopt lifelong habits of physical activity and healthy living.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

We examine the role of technology in physical education and explore best practices for maximizing student learning without letting technology become a distraction (or worse, get destroyed) in the hustle and bustle of a PE classroom.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Why Muscle Strength is Important in Aging Strong muscles are key to living independently and comfortably as we age. That is why taking care of our muscles is essential for healthy aging. Some estimates place muscle mass loss around 10% each decade after 30 years, and this rate of muscle loss increases after the age of 60. Strength training – from using body weight, machines, or free weights – is an effective way muscle mass may be preserved during aging.
