It is recommended that each day youth get 60 minutes or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity that includes aerobic, muscle, and bone strengthening activities. The majority of youth, however, do not meet these physical activity guidelines. Children and adolescents spend on average seven hours engaging in sedentary “screen-based” activity each day. Lowered levels of youth leisure-time physical activity can be attributed at least in part to advancements in modern technology, most specifically video games, which have been shown to reduce energy expenditure throughout the day. Active video games, which offer easy “at home” access, fun and social interaction qualities, as well as goal-achievement feedback could serve as a suitable alternative to sedentary leisure-time activities. Youth cite several physical activity participation needs including skill development, fun, affiliation, excitement, fitness, and success. Interventions that consider these needs have the potential to decrease the risk of sedentary behavior among youth. Screen-based technologies, along with smartphone apps, represent excellent initial steps in combating sedentary behavior among youth. This article assesses (1) the potential health benefits of active video games, especially for youth who would otherwise be sedentary; and (2) opportunities to incorporate smart technology to foster long-term commitment.

The purpose of this article is to describe a model for creating a successful service engagement partnership with a community organization that may lead to the development of a short- or long-term service engagement project or course. The article explains how to create a successful partnership, including how to identify and choose the right community partner, the importance and development of a memorandum of understanding, and procedures for evaluating the partnership. Examples of two successful partnerships with two different structures, at two different universities, with one organization (Special Olympics) will be used. One partnership has produced a service-learning course for a sport management program that includes service-engagement opportunities for physical education, health, and exercise science students, while the other partnership has resulted in a three-tiered service-engagement project that involves interns, two community recreation and nonprofit leadership classes, and a co-curricular registered student organization. Lessons learned from this article can be replicated in other higher education programs, as well as in elementary, middle, and secondary education settings.

More than ever, assessment is in the national spotlight. In this time of state and national learning standards, learning objectives, and various forms of student and teacher accountability, the need for evidence of real student learning in physical education is paramount. There are many potential benefits of conducting assessment properly, including communication, engagement, ownership, value, and reflection. The purpose of this article is to explain and illustrate, using various assessment examples, how tapping into these five potential benefits of assessment can aid the teaching and learning process. Developmentally appropriate assessment tools can support both the teacher and the learner, and can maximize student learning.

With diabetes being one of the most common chronic childhood diseases, it is important for physical educators and coaches to be aware of or help create a management plan to ensure the safe participation of students with diabetes. This article provides key recommendations and resources for doing so.

The rapidly changing landscape of higher education is making it more difficult for teacher-education programs to provide their students with authentic instructional opportunities. Budget cuts, larger class sizes, fewer faculty, and fewer physical education programs in public schools are causing education departments to reassess how they prepare their teacher candidates. There is one opportunity right in the backyard of many institutions ready to be utilized. The growing homeschool population can provide programs with an opportunity to create authentic K–12 teaching experiences for preservice students right on campus. Furthermore, it can generate revenue and serve as a recruiting tool for future college enrollments. This article discusses the logistics of starting a successful educational program for homeschooling families and shares the steps that one university took to make it happen.

It has become more common for physical education courses to be taught in virtual classes, as physical activity, and by non-certified K–12 physical education individuals.
