Abstract Traditionally in education, particularly in elementary education, curriculum areas such as PE, Art, and Music have been labeled with the commonly known term “specials.” In many cases, this term has simply meant that these classes include “extra” content that enhances the school’s overall academics when time is allowed. This column seeks to highlight the importance and critical need for health and physical education to be provided as an essential or required subject rather than just a special or an extra class.

Abstract Because fitness and physical activity both tend to decline as students enter their middle school years, it is important to try to establish protocols and interventions to make this student population enjoy being active. Further, it has been shown that shorter exercise sessions are more likely to be executed. Using a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) station intertwined with usual instructional activities in a typical physical education class is one way to achieve these goals. This article gives direction on implementing this approach and provides results for a study to support considering it.

Abstract Coaches play an important role in ensuring that safety measures, including proper helmet fit, are practiced in youth and high school football. If proper guidelines and safety checks are adhered to, helmets will function as they are intended for in injury prevention and protection. Studies have shown that approximately 84% of youth and high school football helmets are improperly fitted, thus demonstrating the need for continued education and increased competency among novice and seasoned coaches to meet the guidelines and standards for proper fit. The purpose of this article is to (1) provide an infographic as a quick reference guide that can be used to assist coaches and players in remembering the steps of how to size, check, fit, stress and recheck a helmet and (2) demonstrate the minimum criteria coaches need to proficiently implement to properly fit a helmet so best practices toward greater safety can be achieved in youth and high school football.

Abstract Coaches serve in a unique role to oversee health and safety with their athletes especially when traveling with the team to sporting events. If there is no athletic trainer to take charge in prevention or management of injuries, the coach will need to assume that role. Coaches should understand the importance of their role and know how to implement five key items when working and traveling with athletes. The five key items will be discussed in this column to provide coach’s applicable tips to promote overall health and safety of athletes.

Abstract Although most teachers would acknowledge the impact relationships with their students have on the environmental climate in their gymnasium, this topic has been scarcely discussed. To date, there are few papers focusing on tangible strategies for developing, building, and enhancing the relationship between physical educators and their students. This article outlines and provides tangible examples for how to initiate closeness and avoid conflict within teacher/student relationships, specific to physical education and other sporting contexts. Effective practical strategies are presented, including setting high expectations for youth, fostering distinctiveness, using inclusive language, and speaking from one’s own experiences. In all, these best practices are applicable for the development of teacher/student relationships in any setting, but particularly physical education or a variety of other sport settings.

Abstract In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, findings indicate a significant gap exists in learning and social norms amongst students of all ages, backgrounds, and academic levels. This gap transpires despite teacher’s and academic leader’s best efforts to minimize disparities from the 1.5 years of virtual or atypical learning. Nevertheless, schools must now acknowledge this recent data and identify how they will address it moving forward. This Call to Action urges educational leaders, teachers, coaches and decision makers to put students first and #MindTheGap.

Abstract Adolescence is a crucial period for developing social and emotional habits that are important for mental and emotional well-being. Learning how to cope, manage emotions, problem solve, and develop interpersonal skills strengthens resilience, and promotes healthy lifestyle behaviors. Various health coaching techniques can be applied to the classroom setting to promote middle school student mental, emotional, and behavioral wellness. This article provides three coaching techniques that can be tailored to the classroom, including (1) vision casting, (2) goal setting, and (3) the development of a growth mindset. Students who develop a grounded and bold vision can more easily establish goals for such a vision, which can be strengthened through the development of a growth mindset.

Abstract In youth sports, specifically basketball, coaches tend to believe drills as the most effective way to develop skills and make their players more capable. An alternative way to do typical drills is to implement small-sided games. In this column, we elaborate on the benefits and suggest a practice plan for youth basketball coaches to better implement small-sided games into practice.

Abstract Research by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and major universities supports the impact physical activity can have on academic achievement. Specifically, aerobic exercise increases oxygen, blood flow, and glucose to the brain and promotes the production of more brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which promotes healthy cellular growth in the brain and increases brain plasticity – all of which increases cognition and aptitude for learning. This column examines use of DeskCycle, a low-profile pedal unit designed for use under a table or desk, as a pedagogical approach in a college setting.

Abstract Omar Sánchez, Rio Watanabe, and Samuel R. Hodge In this article, five different traditional activities from Chile, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and South Korea will be shared. For each traditional activity, the following four questions will be addressed: (a) What is the culture and language background of the activity? (b) How is it played? (c) What modifications can be made to be inclusive of all learners? and (d) What are the main benefits of the activity for students’ holistic development? These traditional activities from around the world can be incorporated easily into any PE program. They all can be adapted according to students’ diverse abilities, and none require expensive materials or equipment. They each have relatively simple instructions, and the tasks can be made more challenging or simplified according to each student’s needs. Overall, they create opportunities for all students to experience new cultures together and learn from one another, while promoting physical activity. It is hoped that this article will lead to further investigation and inclusion of traditional activities from around the world.
