I really enjoyed reading your blog post Ty! I can tell you are very passionate about sports. It is awesome to see that being active at school in P.E. class was such a positive experience for you.

I completely agree with your point on the importance of raising awareness about the benefits of physical activity beyond just physical health. It’s crucial for young people to understand how movement positively impacts their mental, emotional and social well being. Creating an inclusive an engaging environment that focuses on personal growth rather than competition is a fantastic approach for educators.

I also thought that your insights on the negative effects of sedentary behaviour are spot on. Incorporating active learning breaks, promoting extracurricular activities, and encouraging active participation are excellent strategies to combat this issue. Teaching older students about the 24 hour movement guidelines and using technology to engage them in active lifestyle choices can make a significant difference.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I love to see that so many of my fellow classmates are just as passionate about teaching as I am.

Well done Brianne! I really enjoyed reading your 1st blog post. I love how you included a quote at the beginning of your blog post. I completely agree with your perspective on the importance of active health education! It’s so crucial for educators to recognize health as a holistic concept and to understand the various aspects of movement through the day. The 24-hour movement guidelines are a great framework for this.

Your example of daily physical activity (DPA) at your elementary school is a great illustration of how these guidelines can be implemented effectively. It’s clear that without awareness of evidence-based guidelines, such measures might be overlooked, which would be a missed opportunity for promoting healthier lifestyles.

I think that by prioritizing sleep, reducing sedentary behaviour, and encouraging both physical and light activity, educators can guide students toward healthier and happier lives. Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences!
