Incorporating Nature-Based Physical Activity in Physical and Health Education
Gruno, Jennifer; Gibbons, Sandra L.
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v91 n3 p26-34 2020
An alternative way to approach outdoor education in PHE, while still reaping its numerous benefits, is nature-based physical activity (NBPA). NBPA refers to physical activities that are done in natural areas, require little specialized equipment, can be participated in by the majority of youth, are cost-efficient, and can be implemented by PHE teachers on a regular basis. Sample NBPA activities that teachers can easily implement with their classes are presented.
