2 Points to Cover Evidence linking educational achievement & sport, exercise, PA Mechanisms & direction of associations The problem with Sport Role of assessment &feedback Examples But first the bad news

3 Percentile Score Fitness BMI 70 * Expected Value (Global Average) * No data available for 2004 so data point is interpolated based on trend

4 Sport, Exercise, PA & Attainment: Cross-Sectional Evidence What else do you think is different about these four?

5 General Academic Achievement Cardiorespiratory Fitness Fatness

7 Processing Speed Fitness and Cognitive Processing Speed Fit Unfit Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6

8 Increasing school breaktime physical activity:

9 Increasing extra-curricular sport & physical activity:

10 Increasing curriculum time for physical education: Increased PA in PE Lessons or 2x30 min extra per week: 2 hrs/week vs. 60 min/day: 2 hrs/week vs. 75 min/day:

11 Increasing physical activity in the classroom:

12 Mechanisms

13 Age Years: Daily Sitting Time 10.4 hours School Homework Passive Travel Watching Television Gaming/Social Networking Eating/Talking

14 Playing Sport vs. Doing Exercise & PA

15 Summary Most interventions amount or quality of PA improve attainment No evidence that PA (as much as 75 min/d) negatively effects attainment Majority of children are inactive <60 MVPA/d Strong association: attainment and playing sport But there s a problem with sport as a medium

33 Summary Assessment of physical literacy combined with sensitive feedback identifies Strengths Weaknesses Areas for improvement Measures are sensitive to change (Intervenetions) Equally accessible for all pupils Evaluation & Identification Objective and personal Reduces self-potentiating bias in evaluation Feedback from sport dependent on Peers, opposition Date of birth Physical development

34 Meaningful feedback? Think like a kids

35 . Conclusion: Its too hard and it might upset some children Number of children tested = 0. Number of children consulted = 0 10 years on, we need to act, were not afraid to (over-re)act about other bad things
