on the path to a healthy future.
Difference between Physical Education
& Physical Activity
•Physical education is the foundation of a
comprehensive school physical activity
program-CSPAP-.
•It is an academic subject that uses a planned,
sequential program of curricula and
instruction, based on state and/or national
physical education standards, which results in
all students, including those with disabilities,
developing the knowledge, skills, and
confidence needed to adopt and maintain a
physically activity lifestyle.
•Physical education should be taught by statecertified physical education teachers.
Difference between Physical Education
& Physical Activity
Physical activity is bodily movement of any
type and may include recreational, fitness and
sport activities such as jumping rope, playing
soccer, lifting weights, as well as daily activities
such as walking to the store, taking the stairs or
raking the leaves.
Let’s Move! WV is an initiative that has
strong support from State Superintendent,
Jorea Marple for grades Pre-K through
Eighth that recommends schools
accumulate an additional 15 minutes of
daily physical activity.
High schools are encouraged to explore
ways to add additional physical activity
opportunities to the school day.
Why Physical Activity?
•produces health benefits
•may lead to academic
benefits
•promotes a positive
school climate
National Physical Activity
Recommendations
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services issued physical activity
guidelines for Americans, ages 6 and older.
Recommendation was for children and
adolescents to participate in 60 minutes or
more of physical activity daily.
The American Heart Association recommends
that children and adolescents should do 60
minutes or more of physical activity daily and
they participate in physical activities that are
appropriate for their age and enjoyable.

Everyone in school needs to be actively
engaged in and supportive of Let’s Move!
WV -Active Schools for it to be successful.
Dr. Marple’s message says it all…
“ If you are in a school where kids aren’t
physically active…
…do something about it!”

Comprehensive School Physical
Activity Program
The goal of a CSPAP is two-fold.
•Provide a variety of school-based physical activity
opportunities that enable all students to participate in at
least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical
activity each day.
•Provide coordination among the CSPAP components to
maximize understanding, application, and practice of the
knowledge and skills learned in physical education so that
all students will be fully physically educated and wellequipped for a lifetime of physical activity.
