A few weeks ago our colleague Catherine Cameron from the Participaction
Blog asked me if Id be interested in writing a guest-post on
exercise-related myths. We put together a list of myths that we have
encountered, which she recently posted as a guest post on the
Participaction Blog (in English and French). I thought it was a post that
would be of interest to our readers, so I have reposted it below. Without
any further ado, here are 7 myths about physical activity!
.
Myth 1: A childs time is better spent focusing on the three Rs than on
performing physical activity
.
People sometimes worry that time devoted to physical activity comes at the
expense of academic achievement. Luckily, thats not the case.
.
Here is a summary of some of the evidence showing that physical activity
actually improves academic performance, taken from the 2009 Active Healthy
Kids Canada Report Card on the Physical Activity of Canadian Children and
Youth:
.
A comprehensive Ontario school health initiative including physical
activity as a key element indicated a 36% increase in reading and a 24%
increase in math scores over a two-year period. A study of over5,000
students by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated
that girls with the highest levels of physical education participation had
higher math and reading scores. Another U.S. study of over 12,000 students
indicated that daily physical activity was associated with higher math and
reading achievement, echoed by an Alberta study of 5,000 students, which
showed that active living had positive results on school performance.
Healthy bodies and healthy minds are what Canada needs to have a strong,
thriving society!
.
The recently-released 2011 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children
and Youthhighlighted new research suggesting that increasing physical
activity may actually improve academic performance:
.
school-based studies show that increasing childrens physical activity may
be an effective approach to improving their academic performance. The
inclusion of 30 minutes of physical activity 3 days per week for 4 months
in a grade 3 curriculum improved scores on academic achievement tests.
Similarly, a school-based childhood obesity prevention program that
included physical activity for elementary students from low-income
families not only helped with weight control and blood pressure, but also
improved academic performance. This is particularly encouraging since
children from low-income families are more likely to be physically
inactive and obese, and to have lower levels of academic achievement.
.
Previously here on Obesity Panacea, Dr Angelo Tremblay has presented data
from a recent study in Quebec which demonstrated that reducing class time
and increasing organized physical activity results in increased fitness
without any negative impact on academic achievement.
.
ADDITIONAL MYTHOLOGY TOPICS POSTED IN THIS BLOG POST
.
Myth 2: When you reach 65 vigorous exercise is a no-no.
Myth 3: Overweight people and obese people cant be healthy theyre fat, and
have to lose weight before getting into shape. If someone is slim, they
must be healthy.
Myth 4: My kids get plenty of physical activity in gym class and recess.
Myth 5: You have to hit the gym to get a good workout.
Myth 6: The benefits of physical activity are only seen after weeks of
regular exercise
Myth 7: If I cant meet the physical activity guidelines, there is no sense
exercising at all
