Online Learning Institute: Supporting Young People through Movement and Play Beyond the School Day >> Main topics: In order to help young people reach 60 minutes of daily physical activity, school health leaders should take advantage of every opportunity to infuse movement into all parts of the day. While physical education, recess, and physical activity in the classroom are all excellent ways to increase physical activity minutes, opportunities for physical activity extend well beyond the typical school day. Physical activity before and after school reinforces and extends the lessons learned during PE, gives young people the chance to try new and fun activities while improving their mental and emotional well-being, and demonstrates the key role community organizations can play in supporting the development of young people. >> Watch video Provided 5.27.21 ---- Energizer Videos
