In addition to parental support, enjoyment of participation has been highlighted as critical for the development of talent. Therefore, it is important for the coach to sit down with parents and outline the importance of positive support and enjoyment for the participant. In doing so, it is important to spell out that their top priority is the welfare of the child, and that the principal goal is that the child enjoys both the learning and participating/competing aspects of his/ her involvement (McLean, 2009). Also, the above findings substantiates the study of Elmonte (2014) as he pointed out that the athletes does not have the right to practice or join competitions if he/she does not have medical certificate confirming his fitness to participate …show more content…
This claim supports the statement of the President John F. Kennedy of the cited States of America in one of his privilege speeches as he claimed that “the relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong”. Also, this contention of President Kennedy was confirmed in the argument of Chinapaw (2012) as he mentioned that physical activity has a strong impact on academic performance and social skills. Physical activity can help children in the following ways: improved test scores, grades and time management skills: boosted concentration, memory and classroom behaviour: increased self-confidence and self-esteem: strengthened social and cooperative skills, such as teamwork and problem solving: reduced anxiety and …show more content…
This implies that schools offering the program in the region I adhere to their mandate as to the guidelines on the program management of the SPS. Further, the guideline on the size shall have a maximum of 45 students and there shall be at least two classes per year level for the SPS along program management has the highest rate with a weighted mean of 3.46 with a descriptive value of implemented. The result implies that simply reducing student-teacher ratios will lead to improved student learning and academic achievement. Some indicate that smaller class sizes produce educational benefits for students, but others suggest that strong teaching is the main factor, and that simply hiring more teachers, who may not necessarily more experienced and skilled teachers, will simply increase educational costs without producing the desired results (Cong-o 2010). Younger students typically require more time, attention, and instructional support from teachers, and some studies have a correlation between smaller class sizes at the secondary level and better academic results, particularly for high-need student populations and when smaller class sizes are maintained across grade levels. For this reason, some educators and experts argue that class size is a more important instructional factor when students are
Studies have shown that kids should be active for an hour or more everyday. Physical exercise has been proven to increase grades and scores on tests. Physical exercise is correlated with improved mental functions. Exercise gives better blood flow to the brain and more fit kids have had higher grades and a GPA. Brain activity and brain development are also enhanced by physical exercise. Being physically fit has shown less kids are fidgety and are more focused during class.

The article shares with the reader that children who join competitive sports at a young age can learn discipline and healthy habits when performed right. Jordan strongly suggests athletes, coaches and parents need to be properly educated on safe training techniques and know how to read their children when they have an injury. This way the young athletes can join in on as many sport teams as they want. Over the recent years many regulations and laws have been passed, such as The Lystedt laws that “mandate a gradual return-to-play protocol to better protect youth athletes in all sports from the risks of preventable concussions”(Jordan). This will protect the players who do decide to specialize in one sport at an early
Physical activity helps boost cognitive abilities in children. Recess generally involves a lot of running, playing, and games involving exercise. In fact, recent research has found a direct correlation between intelligence and physical fitness, especially in children under 16 years old and elderly persons (Pica 64). In a study conducted by F. L. Martens, academic scores, attitudes, and fitness were improved when a third of the school day was dedicated to recess. Another study study found that at least five hours of physical activity resulted in substantially higher academic achievement in the core subjects (Pica 63).
A recent study shows that on average boys do 29 minutes of physical activity a day; while girls only do 18 minutes of physical activity a day (Henshaw 2). This falls extremely short of the recommended 60 minutes by health officials. At the point when kids and youths take part in any event 60 minutes of physical action consistently, various wellbeing benefits occur (Henshaw 4). Some of these being that it enhances respect toward oneself, and diminishes stress and anxiety. Beyond these known wellbeing impacts, physical action additionally has beneficial influences on scholastic execution. “Among elementary school students, 40 minutes of daily exercise increased IQ by an av...
Due to the increase of popularity of the interscholastic athletic activities on the past few years, several researches process, recommendation, and manuals have been developed by diverse organizations such as the American college of sports medicine, and the national athletic trainer association. These organizations and their members have been working extensively to develop awareness over the importance of providing high quality medical service which can improve the medical outcome of the patient. At the same time, these organization developed regulations to standardize the medical service offered by the sport medicine team; especially by athletic trainers.
This study was made in an effort to find out the best number of students for one teacher to teach. “STAR was a large-scale, four-year, longitudinal, experimental study of reduced class size” (Reduce Class Size Now, 2003 p. 1). This project kept track of 11,600 Tennessee students in 76 schools (Small Class Size, 1999). This study found out a lot of ways that small classes are beneficial. STAR “reported in 1997 that students placed in classes of 13 to 17 children, throughout their K-3 years, outperformed students in standard classes of 22 to 25” (Small Class Size, 1999). It was found that if students are placed in smaller classrooms from kindergarten to third grade, they will perform better than students in regular sized classrooms. This is true if the students return to a regular sized classroom for forth grade as well (Small Class Size, 1999).
In a society in which childhood obesity rates are on the rise, physical education is an important aspect of student's health that needs to be incorporated into their daily lives. Along with the physical benefits, by participating in physical education and regular physical activity (whether it be extra-curricular, at recess, or in the regular classroom), student's academic performance is greatly improved. According to Eric Jensen in Teaching with the Brain in Mind, the "evidence...shows that moderate exercise enhances cognitive processing" (Jensen,
These days, there is too much pressure on children who participate in organized sports because of the unnecessary parental involvement they experience. A growing concern amongst those involved in youth sports is that certain aspects of parental involvement become detrimental to the development and experiences of young athletes. Early emphasis on winning, making money, and the disruption of education can exceedingly affect ones desire to further participate in a sport later on in his/her life.

Millions of children worldwide participate in a multitude of sports, either in school or outside of school. As they grow older, they get better, but some of them stop playing. We have discussed that the best and sometimes oldest of the kids (in their age groups) are given more chances and more opportunities, as well as better coaching. This results in them gaining more experience and practice. Ultimately, some of them end up being national or world-class athletes competing and representing their country. In order for that to happen, they have to be recognized as talented and be presented with a chance to become great.
Physical education provides: 1) a variation of motor skills aimed to enhance the physical, mental, social and emotional development, 2) an understanding to improve and maintain their physical well-being and 3) opportunities to develop social and cooperative skills while gaining a multi-cultural perspective. Physical education provides a variety of motor skills aimed at enhancing the physical, mental, social and emotional development. The obesity statistics of 2009 quantified that childhood obesity rates have more than tripled since 1980 and in addition to concerns regarding chronic diseases, overweight and obesity incidences have even led to poorer levels of academic achievement (Taras & Potts-Datema, 2005). Additionally, in order to teach students the importance of preventing these ailments, those who oppose the amount of time spent in physical education or want to cut it out altogether should reconsider. Instead, time in physical education should be as equal as core subjects are seen.
The main goals behind Sport Education are to help students become knowledgeable about different sports and activities to the point where they can participate in these outside of the classroom to stay active. Also it teaches execution and strategies and encourages competitiveness. It is important for kids to be competitive because they will have to be in life and it will teach the importance of winning and losing the right way. “Sports offer kids a great chance to work cooperatively toward a common goal. And working coope...
“Children who exercise regularly have higher levels of self-esteem.” (Brown, W.J. & Brown P.R., 1996, p19). Teaching Physical Education can have immediate health benefits as it helps normalise body weight and body composition. Physical activity also promotes positive mental health. Both immediate outcomes may be useful in motivating physical activity practices so that they have long term benefits. One of the main benefits of physical activity is that “it keeps children involved and that it invariably makes you feel good.” (Brown, W.J. & Brown P.R., 1996, p19). Getting the correct amount of Physical activity in school hours will decrease the rates of obesity and will reduce the risk of diabetes, asthma, heart disease and other health related illness’. Regular exercise for children also helps their cardiovascular health and bone development. There is also evidence that Physical Activity has a positive effect on mental health in children, including reducing anxiety and depression and improving their mood. However, there is some evidence that for children who don’t enjoy Physical Education it can have a negative impact on their self-esteem and
