Little evidence suggests healthier society According to hundreds of magazine cover stories, a fitness boom has been going on thoughout our country for several years. To claim such a trend implies that we are becoming more fit. Research, however, provides little evidence suggesting an overall healthier society, including our youth. Statistics show that of Americans do not exercise regularly, and 45 percent are not physically active at all. Half of those who begin supervised exercise programs drop out two-thir- within six months. At best, 20 percent of Americans engage in physical activity of the intensity, mode, duration and frequency yielding benefical benefits cardiovascular and improved muscular strength. These are aerobic, rhythmic, continuous, exercises which elevate the heart rate more than 60 percent of maximal work for at least 20 minutes, three to five times per week. are required for heart disease development and studies cannot yet relate risk Decades factors in children with heart disease in adults. If a regular program of exercise can benefit adults, forming healthy habits in children may encourage a decreased risk for future health problems. The goal of physical educators and parents should be to develop in children a desire to be physically active now and throughout their lives in order to serum cholesterol levels. This should be done in a manner promoting fun combined with education. Achieving these goals can be eased if physical education programs in the schools promote regular conditioning exercises, not just sports games or unstructured play time, which are not aerobic exercises. Health education should include information on heart disease and its risk factors such diovascular system and reduce heart risk factors such as obesity, blood pressure and as maintain an efficient car- establishing nutritious eating habits, coping with stress, the physiological implications of exercise and maintenance of strong muscles and bones. Since computers and electronic games have been introduced in the schools, in- novative and IN obesity, preventing multi-activi- ty methods of teaching may prove for informative JANUARY todays children. Educational concepts must bring the health education information to the playing field or school gym. Teachers and administrators can be excellent role models and practice the healthy lifestyles they preach. Such a commitment must be made in order to provide direction of goals, developing a learning climate through meaningful and appropriate class content and consistent time-effecti- programs. Incorporation ve of creative programs, such as outdoor and adventure sports (characterized by travel, relationship to the environment and competition with nature and self), teaches a child to take risks, cope with stress, succeed in decision-makin- g and enjoy nature. This can provide a unique learning experience similar to group sports which build character and group relationship skills as long as safety measures are taken and supervision is provided. Wellness type which incorporate nutrition programs g, stress and management education, can help make physical education programs comprehensive. Encouraging the union education classes. Devoting more time per day to gym and health classes, and providing more academic credits for comprehensive programs, will help in taking physical education seriously.

More competitive and contact sports should be initiated at high school age because bones are growing more slowly and are more fully calcified. It is important to remember that children constantly change in size and physiology. At different stages of life, exercise programs should be approached in a manner least harmful and most beneficial to the growing youth. The need for education in all realms of life is widely accepted. The importance of decreasing health risk in children is still in its early years.
