Education may include lifestyle physical instruction for health benefits throughout life. I found this article which may be helpful to you. Title:Lifestyle physical activity: is it part of your physical education program?(Editorial).

Author(s):Stephen J. Virgilio. Source:JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance 78.6 (August 2007): p4(3).(849 words) Document Type:Magazine/Journal Full Text :COPYRIGHT 2007 American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD)"For over a decade, our profession has embraced the need for lifestyle physical activity as a way to facilitate positive health behaviors outside of school.

We have encouraged our students to stay active at home by picking up their toys, washing the car, walking the dog, shoveling snow, raking leaves, cleaning out the garage, or landscaping. These lifestyle activities are a part of the day-to-day tasks that many people perform throughout life. Because many such physical tasks are so important to the quality of life, we are justified in asking whether teaching these skills within our physical education programs would be worthwhile.

If we continue to make general recommendations about leading an active lifestyle, I think we should provide the necessary pedagogical and kinesiological skills so that children and youths will be able to perform these lifestyle activities in a safe and efficient manner. Currently in the United States, back pain accounts for more sick leave than any other health problem except the common cold.It is estimated that 80 percent of our population will experience a bout of back pain at some point in their life (WrongDiagnosis.com, 2007). A recent study in Minnesota found that "back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons for young adults to seek medical care" (BlueCross BlueShield of Minnesota, 2007, p.

3). Although these health issues may have a number of medical origins, a large percentage of people experience an injury due to their lack of knowledge and specific skills in performing general lifestyle activities. The content knowledge for a "lifestyle skills" unit might center on the anatomy of the neck and back and how the vertebrae and disks are affected by different movements.

Safety precautions would be another topic that physical educators could build into each concept and activity presented to students. Also, specific exercises for muscle fitness and flexibility may be included to complement the different lifestyle activities. The general concept of staying physically active through lifestyle skills should be consistently reinforced throughout the unit.

Although this type of instruction is appropriate for any age level, it is probably most relevant in the seventh- through 12th-grade levels. Teachers at this level could review the movement concepts and themes developed in grades PreK-6 in the context of lifestyle activities. Physical educators can apply their knowledge of kinesiology and exercise science to teach important lifestyle skills, such as: * Lifting techniques (lifting boxes, chairs, tables, physical education equipment, wheelbarrows) * Working overhead (hanging a picture, repairing something around the house, light fixtures, reaching up for a box, placing a net on a basketball hoop) * Shoveling, digging, and raking (shoveling snow or dirt, digging a hole, planting flowers, raking leaves) * Carrying skills (carrying book bags, backpacks, suitcases, physical education equipment, bags, heavy rocks) * Posture (standing, sitting, sleeping, driving posture) * Pushing and pulling (pushing a couch, desk, heavy door, lawn mower, vacuum cleaner; pulling a rope, garden hose) This is just a sample of the skills that might be taught in a lifestyle skills unit.

The physical education teacher may choose to infuse these skills into the curriculum, for example, by spending four to six minutes at the beginning of class to teach lifting techniques. Pairs of students could practice the lifting techniques with medium size boxes or medicine balls. Another approach would be to hold the physical education class in the computer lab to work on an assignment, and instruct students on the proper alignment of the chair, desk, screen, and keyboard.

Instead of merely lecturing about eating more fruits and vegetables, plant a small garden in the corner of your field and teach students the skills of digging, raking, and so on. Ask the local landscaping company to visit and provide a brief demonstration to your class. Perhaps they will donate the soil.

Ask your PTA to collect 30 to 40 old backpacks, suitcases, and shoulder bags and fill each one with some weight (e.g. , school books, barbell weights). Provide your class with the proper techniques and mechanics for carrying and lifting. As part of the warm-up, ask the students to grab a bag and walk around the gym, quickly taking digital pictures or video as they walk.

This will help you provide augmented feedback about their form and carrying technique. In light of the many accidents and injuries that happen to people doing simple lifestyle activities, due to the lack of formal instruction in how to perform these routine tasks, it appears appropriate for secondary physical education programs to provide more formal instruction in these traditional lifestyle activities. In this way, students will be able to safely participate in the many physical activities that will help them lead an active, healthy lifestyle."References BlueCross Blueshield of Minnesota.

Expanded Academic ASAP. Top Sources: my opinion based upon information in listed source .

PE through Video Games The modern trend is to use interactive video games such as Dance Dance Revolution to teach kids. Another modern trend is to cut PE altogether :(. Sources: opinion .

I think the book "Principles of Modern Physical Education, Health, and Recreation" is an excellent resource. My first recommendation is to check out the link above and strongly consider ordering the book "Principles of Modern Physical Education, Health, and Recreation". You can buy it on the link for only $8, and it ships within a few days (I have used their site before).

I have a lot of public K-12 Phys. Ed experience, and I think the book is a wonderful resource. It also depends what you mean by modern though.

This would be "modern" phys. Ed compared to what Phys. Ed.

Used to be in our country. But, if you mean real recent new modern things, this book isn't a good idea because it was from the 1970s. If this is the case, my next best recommendation is to look into the area of aerobics.It might sounds silly on the surface, but it seems as though the most common popular modern trend of the day is the focus of Physical Education on the aerobic arena, including but not limited to: kickboxing, Pilate, Yoga, Gymnastics, etc etc. For boys and girls alike it is becoming the popular new thing to do both socially, and from a Physical Education standpoint.

Hope this helps and best of luck! Sources: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=373697618&searchurl=isbn%3D0030780101%26nsa%3D1 .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
