exercise for elementary school children activity is not a nil Mary Lou Brock of group told the board Thurs day II is i necessity for health and well being through out life In a brief presented to the board that children in their growing ycin need a balance of Intellectual physl and social development We submit that this cannot properly be achieved without the implementation of a daily quality physical at ion program in the school curriculum The university women made three recommendations to the board the most important of which is that the board under take a vigorous public rclal Ions program to help make parents principals and teach more aware of the value of daily physical education The other recommenda lions were that the board implement as soon as possible a program of quality dally physical cation for 30 to GO minutes per day for every elementary pupil and that the program be close ly supervised by qualified education personnel pre fcrably in the school or at least once a week Mrs Brock cited evidence uncovered by the survey car rled out by the club UNESCO United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organ has recommended that one third of school curriculum be devoted to physical activity Mrs Brock said She said a ten year study in France project found that fitness dts ind enthusiasm were superior in groups which had one third f school lum devolcd to physical lion The results of the children in the physical education program surpassed those in the control group they were less susceptible to Some schools across Canada have also reported favorably on effects of substantial amounts of physical activity In the school day she said In a program carried at absenteeism dropped by per cent she said There don seem to be any drawbacks she said There still is considerable stress on competitive sports in the schools Mrs Brock said but this is geared more to the athletically skilled minority leaving the less capable maj in a less active or largely passive rale Team games thai concent rate on the development of specific skills do not ily give most children he opportunity to Improve Ihcir fitness levels Noncompellilvc programs on the other hand can involve more children In effective physical activity Mrs Brock also pointed out that lack of physical exercise Is recognized as the major factor in rising health costs since a direct well established and since can be thai healthier fitter children learn more effectively physical ucition programs winch im prove fitness levels arc clearly The club carried out a vey of elementary and middle schools in Hills and found that there is dramatic difference in the amount of exercise carried out in differ schools Marion McLwcn who head the survey team praised the board core curriculum in physical education but noted that In some schools exercise accounted for four per cent of instruction time and 13 per cent In others It follow that schools ten blocks apart would make that difference Mrs sold She said information for the survey and brief came from members reading reports from groups requesting imp lementation of dally physical education In Brampton Miss and groups already involved In such pro grams the board a core meetings with Hilda Clark the board a physical education consultant In the north centre and interviews with elementary school principals In Hills Mrs Brock told trustees that pupils with one third of their day devoted to physical their academic perform and efficiency is so much belter the gain is greater than loss because the child learn so much more fu be
