  7. What are desirable outcomes of physical activity for all ages?

  8. REMEMBER THE MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE 1996 REPORT OF THE SURGEON GENERAL?

  9. Inactive people can improve well-being with moderate activity done on a regular basis.

  10. Physical activity need not be strenuous to have benefits.

  11. Greater health benefits can be achieved by increasing the amount (duration, frequency, or intensity) of physical activity.

  12. INACTIVITY IS A SERIOUS NATIONAL PROBLEM

  13. ADULTS >60% of adults do not engage in regular activity. 25% are not active at all!

  14. ADULTS Inactivity increases with age and is more common among women, less educated, lower incomes.

  15. ADOLESCENTS • Nearly half of those 12-21 are not vigorously active on a regular basis.

  16. ADOLESCENTS • Physical activity declines dramatically with age.

  17. ADOLESCENTS • Females are much less active than male adolescents.

  18. CHILDREN • Percentage of young people who are overweight has doubled in past 30 years.

  19. Report recognizes that all people over the age of 2 should accumulate at least 30 minutes of endurance-type activities on most--preferably all--days of the week.

  20. THE REPORT’S MESSAGES FOR SPECIAL POPULATIONS: OLDER ADULTS: • No one is too old to enjoy benefits. • Muscle strength can reduce risk of falling and injury. • Fitness can improve ability to live independently.

  21. PARENTS: • Can help their children by providing encouragement. • Family events can include active opportunities.

  22. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: • Physical activity can help improve stamina and strength. • Increases psychological well-being. • Increases ability to perform activities of daily life.

  23. PEOPLE WITH ILLNESS • Hypertensive? Activity helps lower blood pressure. • Arthritis? Regular activity reduces joint swelling and pain. • Depression? Activity improves mood and increases well-being.

  24. The report identifies promising ways various groups can help: • increasing programs and activity levels in PE classes in schools • health care counseling • worksite activity programs • community action programs

  25. Does glamorization of sport contribute to spectatorship?

  26. Sports for All?

  27. The current emphasis on superstar athletes discourages many who are not "superstar" material to try sports or fitness.

  28. Certain NCAA I sports--such as football and men's basketball--function not as an athletic component to a solid college education, but as the "farm leagues" of professional sports.

  29. In contrast, other sports receive much less funding and attention. This type of preferential treatment of "superstars" would never be tolerated in other situations.

  30. By putting so much time and energy into only the "super" male athletes, we have made sports an entertainment vehicle at the expense of the athlete's health and well-being.

  31. What are alternatives? • emphasis on "lifetime" sports participation • development of intramural sports

  32. Does the media show bias in its coverage of women's sports?

  33. Both female athletes and reporters have yet to achieve parity with men in the media. • In 1993, only 5% of televised sports news covered women's sports - virtually the same percentage as in 1989.

  34. In print media, a study of four major newspapers found that fewer than 5% of all sports stories were devoted to women only.

  35. “Why do talented white collar journalists, respected sports magazines and newspapers and business executives chose to focus more attention on sportswomen when they are sex objects (Kournikova, Sabatini), mothers (Swoopes, Lopez), lesbians (Navratilova, Mauresmo) or victims (Seles, Kerrigan) than they do reporting on the athletic achievements of female athletes?” Press Release: Women’s Sports Foundation

  36. In 53 weeks, Sports Illustrated (1996), had 4 women on the cover: • infamous bloodied boxing newcomer Christy Martin • Cincinnati Reds owner, Marge Schott • U.S. Olympic Women’s Basketball Team • a swimsuit model

  37. In 1997, three women made it: • Venus Williams • Jamila Wideman • a swimsuit model

  38. In 1998, four women were on the cover: • Michelle Kwan • Pat Summit and Chamique Holdsclaw. • a swimsuit model.

  39. In 1999, four women were on the cover: • Serena Williams • Brandi Chastain • the Women's World Cup championship team • a swimsuit model!

  40. Does sportsmanship have a price tag?

  41. EXERCISE REPRESENTATIVE BEHAVIOR AT ALL TIMES! • A prerequisite to GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP requires one to understand his/her own prejudices that may become factor in behavior.

  42. Remember these UIL “unacceptable” behaviors? • Yelling or waving arms during opponent's free throw attempt. • Disrespectful or derogatory yells, chants, songs or gestures.

  43. Remember these UIL “unacceptable” behaviors? • Criticizing officials in any way; displays of temper with an official call. • Refusing to shake hands or give recognition for good performances.

  44. Remember these UIL “unacceptable” behaviors? • Blaming loss of game on officials, coaches or participants. • ETC, ETC., ETC.

  45. Career Burnout

  46. Good Tired/Bad Tired • “Good tired” is the feeling after work that you accomplished something significant, meaningful and satisfying.

  47. Those who don’t feel this may be facing career burnout…a feeling of being unfulfilled and exhausted, both physically and emotionally, from your job. • “A bad tired” goes beyond stress (which can usually be relieved by taking relaxation breaks or a vacation).

  48. Is This All There Is? • Some people go through their whole lives thinking, “Oh, well, it will get better in the next job, the next assignment or with the next boss”. • It doesn’t.

  49. Disaffected and disconnected, “burned out'' workers lose their productive edge & become prime candidates for downsizing & early retirement.

  50. Give me a P? No, Give me an S! • Business pays attention to the “P” words • productivity • performance • profits • But to sustain success we must also focus on the “S” words • spirit • service • significance
