private, and industry efforts into collaborative partnerships that inspire and empower all Americans to lead more physically active lifestyles The reality is that there is an unprecedented synergy building around the issue of physical activity as it pertains to lifestyle behavior patterns and accessible environments that promote physically active lifestyles National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity (2002) In 2001, David Satcher, Surgeon General of the United States, reported that levels of obesity among Americans had reached epidemic proportions (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2001) Over the next decade, the overweight/obesity numbers increased More than two-thirds of all adults and one-third of all children in the United States are now overweight, with nearly 30% of adults and 16% of children obese (Trust for America's Health, 2010) Approximately 80% of overweight adolescents will become overweight adults ((Herman, et al., 2009)) The most common method of estimating overweight and obesity is the use of body mass index (BMI) measurement (see Focus on Box 1.1 for BMI measurement details) While all developed nations have experienced increases in overweight and obesity across the last decade, none has had the amount of increase seen in the United States The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development estimates that by 2020, the

Explanation: Answers will vary Short Answer Question 41 National Goals for Healthy Foods and Physical Activity in Schools In 1991 in its landmark publication Healthy People 2000, the U.S Public Health Service created a new strategy to deal with the broad issues related to public health A series of goals were adopted and regular progress related to those goals was reported In 2000 Healthy People 2010 was published with reports on the progress made for the 2000 goals and the establishment of revised goals for the next decade The first goal of HP 2010 was to help individuals of all ages increase their life expectancy and improve their quality of life The second goal was to eliminate health disparities among different segments of the population These two goals focus on two main issues that will be addressed throughout this text: (1) physical education, fitness, and sport need to establish programs that contribute to healthier lifestyles through physical activity, and (2) certain segments of the population need special, coordinated attention for them to achieve the goal of a healthy lifestyle Healthy People 2020 provided reports on progress for the 2010 goals and revised goals for 2020 Of particular interest to the issues of childhood/youth overweight and obesity were goals designed to: • Increase the percentage of schools that offer nutritious foods and beverages outside of school meals • Increase the percentage of schools with a school breakfast program • Increase the proportion of the Nation's public and private schools that require daily physical education for all students • Increase the proportion of adolescents who participate in daily school physical education • Increase the proportion of adolescents who spend at least 50 percent of school physical education class time being physically active Name the first two Healthy People 2010 national health objectives Explanation: Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/ Page 10 of 22 Answers will vary Short Answer Question 42 National Goals for Healthy Foods and Physical Activity in Schools While the federal government has taken the overweight/obesity crisis seriously and initiated several programs to reduce the prevalence of overweight/obesity throughout the population, it has yet to provide sufficient funding to initiate these programs among the states The federal legislation for education that has been well funded in the last decade is the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program that provides school districts with funds to increase the elementary school performance in reading and mathematics As school administrators made decisions to strengthen their reading and mathematics programs in elementary schools to meet the requirements of NCLB, an unintended consequence has been a 40 minutes per week time reduction in physical education and a 50 minute/week reduction for recess time (Center on Education Policy, 2008) This likely unintended consequence is particularly disappointing because it is abundantly clear that appropriate levels of physical activity, including sufficient time in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), are positively related to increased on-task classroom behavior, cognitive development, and academic performance (Active Education, 2007) Physical and aerobic fitness decline as youth transition from elementary to middle to high school and this appears to especially true for females (Basch, 2010) Physical activity affects metabolism and all major body systems and exerts powerful positive influences on the brain and spinal cord, which affects emotional stability, physical health, and ability to learn What has been a significant unintended consequence of the No Child Left Behind legislation relative to opportunities for students to be physically activity at school?

(www.physicalactivityplan.org) The NPAP aims to "create a national culture that supports physically active lifestyles Its ultimate purpose is to improve health, prevent disease and disability, and enhance the quality of life." The NPAP is organized in eight societal sectors: • Business and Industry • Education • Health Care • Mass Media • Parks, Recreation, Fitness, and Sports • Public Health • Transportation, Land Use, and Community Design • Volunteer and Non-Profit The overarching strategies of the sectors of the National Plan Physical Activity are as follows: • Launch a grassroots advocacy effort to mobilize support for strategies and tactics included in the NPAP • Mount a national physical activity education program to educate Americans about effective behavioral strategies for increasing physical activity and integrate the program's design with other national health promotion and disease prevention education campaigns • Disseminate best practice physical activity models, programs, and policies to the widest extent possible to ensure Americans can access strategies that will enable them to meet federal physical activity guidelines • Create a national resource center to disseminate effective tools for promoting physical activity • Establish a center for physical activity policy development and research across all sectors of the NPAP In addition to Education, Business and Industry, and Health Care, what are two other sectors in society that contributed to developing the National Physical Activity Plan?

If we observe our cultural traditions, our thoughts may go to children at play, youths involved in sports, and young adults participating in recreational activities, with involvement slowly diminishing as they grow older Very young children are seldom included in this scenario and we have traditionally thought more about the participation of boys than girls In addition, although we may think of men as continuing their involvement in moderately active recreation as they age, we are less likely to think of them engaged in strenuous activities Until quite recently, we would have been unlikely to include women engaged in lifespan physical activity and even more unlikely to think of them as engaged in strenuous physical activity Our tradition has been to think of elderly persons as largely inactive except, perhaps, for a quiet walk the afternoon Historically, we think of physical education, fitness, and sport programs as limited primarily to older children, youths, and young adults Furthermore, far too many of us have viewed appropriate participation for girls and women to be less rigorous than for males, and some have considered female participation to be out of bounds altogether Thankfully, these stereotypes have been mostly dismantled Our old ideas are being replaced with a vision of lifespan involvement in physical activity beginning at a very young age and continuing through the lifespan, not only for boys and men but also for girls and women These changes in perception, and the changes in opportunities that accompany them, lie at the heart of the revolution we are now experiencing, a revolution that is not limited by age or gender What stereotypes are being changed by viewing physical activity from a lifespan perspective?

walking, joining a fitness club, recreational sport, dance, or cycling - as fundamental to their sense of a good life, regardless of their age or gender The lifespan involvement goal for physical activity is unlikely to be achieved unless children, youths, and adults truly enjoy their activities We now understand that engagement in physical activity is more likely when it is enjoyable and enjoyment is much more likely when persons have a strong sense of self-efficacy for the particular activity Self-efficacy (Bandura, 1994) is defined as people's beliefs about their capabilities to produce designated levels of performance in activities Self-efficacy for physical activity develops through successful, enjoyable experiences Briefly explain the authors' vision for lifespan physical activity involvement Explanation: Answers will vary Short Answer Question 48 Lifespan Physical Activity: A Revolution Not Limited By Age Or Gender Someday, historians will describe the current era as a watershed period characterized by the emergence of the possibility and desirability of lifespan physical activity through physical education, fitness, and sport While far too many Americans Testyet Bank for Introduction to Physical Siedento of all ages have to invest in and achieve that possibility, Education it is now clearFitness that it isand both Sport possible8th andEdition desirable.by What has to be done now is to create the opportunities to achieve it Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/ This vision of lifespan involvement in physical activity does not mean that every person must be a committed athlete from childhood through old age Indeed, from a public health perspective, regular moderate physical activity is more important than vigorous physical activity (Morrow & Gill, 1995) It also means that people are increasingly likely to view involvement in some regular physical activity -
