How can we ensure that experience of PE does no harm? One way is to improve our ethical decision making, which requires a shift in mindset in how we see PE, how we advocate for PE and how we respond to other people’s stories of their experience of PE.

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.

Who says cheerleaders aren’t tough? (Not me, by the way). In fact, the high-flying flips, tricks and acrobatics they perform gives cheerleading one of the highest catastrophic injury rates of any sport in North America. And here’s another example of cheerleader-toughness. It’s a quick video clip of a cheerleader tackling a football player (who is in full pads) in order to protect his squad-mates who were in a vulnerable pyramid formation.

If you’ve been watching the World Cup of soccer, you’ll have observed many occasions in which players, although seemingly untouched, have dropped to the ground and writhed in pain for many minutes. They’re “diving,” you might say! Perhaps, but I have a more likely explanation. It’s the vuvuzelas! Vuvuzelas, a fixture in South African soccer, are plastic horns based on the traditional kudu horns used to call distant South African villagers to meetings.

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.

The most important thing to remember about both diet and exercise is to always listen to your body. There is no one meal and no one form of exercise that is best for everyone. So when it comes to before and after workout meals, there are guidelines that can be followed, but your ultimate best course of action is to speak with your trainer or a fitness nutritionist at your club to get their recommendations on the body fuel that is best for you in relation to the amount of exercise you are doing.
