I have marked your blogs! I will give you feedback next time I see you.
Our next question, based on your input, is...
The government has recently implemented Daily Physical Activity (DPA) in all schools across British Columbia. The model, which is based on the successful Albertan DPA, is supposed to increase students’ physical activity and decrease obesity. It is hoped that DPA will become routine, so individuals will remain active throughout their lives.
If you are unaware, DPA requires each student to participate in 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day for Kindergarten through Grade 9 (not at home, not during lunch or break, but during school hours). It must be every day (so PE would only count on the days you have PE class). Grade ten, eleven and twelve must complete 150 minutes a week (on their own time or at school).
Do you think this is an effective strategy to increase daily physical activity in teenagers’ lives? Why or why not?
If you agree, explain how we could effectively implement DPA in our school system.
If not, think of your own strategy to increase physical activity in teenagers lives. Also, please reflect on your own personal lifestyle and what would motivate you to increase your daily physical activity.
