Long term benefits of physical activity include increased selfâ€"conâ€" fidence and _ selfâ€"image, and decreased anxiety and aggression. In schools with a QDPE program, those benefits translate into a posiâ€" tive atmosphere and fewer probâ€" lems. Studies show that all these beneâ€" fits do pay off. A research project in Vanves, France, reduced the time spent on academics and increased physical education time to ensure a quality, daily program Q Does the program emphasize the fun, social atmosphere and active living, rather than just comâ€" pelfillilbn and traditional team sports. When it comes to kids and physiâ€" cal activity, things aren‘t what they used to be. Children and youths today are up to 40 per â€"cent less active than they were 30 years ago. The 1988 Campbell Survey on Wellâ€"Being in Canada found that only 10 per cent of young people are active enough to benefit in any significant way. The Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (CAHPER) is one of a number of organizations working to reverse these trends. One of CAHPER‘s major efforts is the Quality Daily Physical Education program in schools. This is not a halfâ€"baked idea of a bunch of jocks obsessed with physiâ€" cal fitness. It is a thoughtfully planned program led by a variety of organizations, including the Canadian Medical Association and The Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute. Exercise leads to a state of relaxâ€" ation which lasts up to two hours. This is accompanied by improved concentration, enhanced creativity and memory and better task perforâ€" mance and problem solving. In short, physical activity sets up students so they are ready to learn. The result? The academic perforâ€" mance, discipline, enthusiasm, fitâ€" ness and health of students who parâ€" ticipated were superior to those of students who were not involved. Other studies here and abroad show similar results. In spite of all this, the majority of schools in Canada still do not offer a QDPE program. Parents would be wise to check on the staâ€" tus of physical education at their child‘s school.
