A Position Statement from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education: Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v21 n6 p29-33 Jul-Aug 2008
Schools play an important role in public health, and the physical, mental, and social benefits of regular physical activity for youth are well documented. Leading public health, medical, and educational organizations have made important physical activity recommendations for school-aged youth. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) recommends that all PK-12 schools implement a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP). A CSPAP encompass physical activity programming before, during, and after the school day. NASPE recommends that a CSPAP include: quality physical education; school-based physical activity opportunities; school employee wellness and involvement; and family and community involvement.
