We welcome Dr Fiona Heath-Diffey to the studio today to talk us through her doctoral research into the experiences of primary student teachers getting to grips with the idea of teaching PE. Fiona has previously joined us to talk about physical literacy - the idea that PE lessons should give pupils a lifelong healthy relationship with exercise and their bodies, rather than teachers taking an elitist view centred around creating elite sports people. In her research, Fiona uncovered some compelling stories about primary student teachers as they worked on their PE teaching skills, and about how their own lived experiences of sport and exercise had a bearing on their learning. Thanks to Fiona for battling through some serious lurgy to tell us all about it!——————————————————————Recorded in Studio B2.15 at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed Campus on 7th March 2025

Bewegungserfahrungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter sind ein wichtiger Faktor von Gesundheit. Tatsächlich weisen aber mehr als die Hälfte der Jugendlichen eine geringe Fitness ihres Herz-Kreislaufsystems auf. Diese Fitness könnte im Zusammenhang mit der Fähigkeit stehen körperliche Aktivitäten sicher und selbstbewusst durchzuführen, die man als "Physical Literacy" zusammenfasst. Eine chinesische Arbeitsgruppe hat diesen Zusammenhang in einer kürzlich erschienenen Meta-Analyse untersucht. Hier die Studie: Jiang et al.

Join the PE Huddle for a discussion about the what and why of physical literacy. Physical literacy has been defined in many different ways and has often polarized teachers. It certainly isn't universally accepted by the profession and much of that may be due to a lack of understanding of what it is or isn't.  Tune in for a discussion that is down to earth and easy to understand as we discuss it in terms of you and the profession as a whole.  Gary Lemke has emerged as a leader in blended learning for health and physical education.

How physically literate are you? Let's break that down in this episode. Our bodies crave movement to improve fitness, mental state, moods, reduce stress levels, and so on. Movement is integrated in our lives from daily routine tasks to playing sports. Learning how to move well in a variety of ways is essential to improve our physical literacy.Andrew dives into the importance and value of expanding our movement practices. Practicing a wide range of movements throughout the year, through various activities, or periodizing your workouts will help improve your performance. Listen in as Andrew recommends for all of us to intentionally mix things up so that we are not putting our bodies through the same demands year-round. For parents and your kids, it's encouraged to participate in a variety of sports throughout the year if you enjoy it. As we start to specialize in a single sport, it is essential to have an offseason of around 4 months that consists of different physical demands. Lastly for adults, try to also incorporate various movements and different activities throughout the year. Of course, make sure you are fit and trained to participate safely at that level. Movement skills are something that if we don't use it, we start to lose it. Train smart, improve your performance, and keep moving.

The concept of literacy is not foreign to anyone. Indeed, we all realize the importance of the ability to read and write in terms functioning in the world. Lack of literacy is considered a societal tragedy that the developed world attempts to avoid at all costs. When basic literacy is lacked within an individual (or population) life closes in and gets very small, achievement is limited, and life lacks fulfillment and a sense of purpose. All consequences that should be avoided at all costs. Although we're all very familiar with the concept of academic literacy, physical literacy is a term that many of us might find confusing or odd at first glance. This is mostly because the term has been underutilized and to the detriment of our society and our health, as physical literacy researcher and advocate Dr. Anthony Moreno explains in episode 40 of the Wellness Paradox Podcast. Just as academic literacy involves learning the basic set of skills an individual can take into the rest of their life to be literate in reading and writing, physical literacy does that same thing, but in a physical domain. Instead of spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension, physical literacy focuses on the motor skills associated with physical movement. When someone develops and fosters these skills at a young age (really any age) and maintains them throughout the lifespan their opportunities to be healthy, fulfilled and engage with the world expand exponentially. At the same time their level of disease and illness decrease dramatically. The tragic and objective reality is we currently have a very physical illiterate society. Physical education classes are being phased out of schools and/or taught by unqualified staff. Youth sports are becoming increasingly competitive, where only the best athletes have the ability to play frequently. Over 75% of Americans DO NOT meet the current physical activity recommendations for aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise. No matter how you view it, our society is physically illiterate and becoming more so by the day as technology makes our lives more sedentary. Just as with academic literacy, when this happens; life closes in and gets very small, achievement is limited, and life lacks fulfillment and a sense of purpose, mostly driven by ill-health. There is a solution to a population-based approach to becoming more physically literate as a society and it starts with fitness pros and fitness clubs. The fitness industry and its professionals have the infrastructure, knowledge, and resources to implement many of the existing government guidance to improve physical activity levels and thereby physical literacy. In this podcast Dr. Moreno explores this concept further as well as actionable steps (pun intended) the health/fitness industry can take today to combat the physical literacy crisis in America. Our Guest: Dr. Anthony Moreno, PhDDr. Tony Moreno is a Professor of Kinesiology at Eastern Michigan University with focus in biomechanics, youth sport, and pediatric exercise science. He has authored educational materials regarding athlete development, physical literacy, performance enhancement, and injury prevention for the Michigan High School Athletic Association, USA Lacrosse, USA Ultimate, USA Hockey, the Society of Health and Physical Educators, and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. In addition, Professor Moreno is the proprietor of Atletika USA, a movement, physical activity, and sport programming consulting firm based in mid-Michigan. Professor Moreno holds graduate adjunct faculty positions at both Michigan State University and West Virginia University and was recently appointed to serve on both the Michigan Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health, and Sports, on the Board of Directors for the Michigan Fitness Foundation, and on the Medical/Science Advisory Board for the Michigan Fitness Club Association.

In Episode 013, I sit down with a long-time friend, Drew Mitchell, to discuss the importance of physical activity and overall physical literacy amongst our youth. Living through a global pandemic the past year has amplified the concerns around both physical and mental health. Physical activity has declined while mental health issues have increased. We identify some of the key environments for promoting physical literacy and discuss the importance of working with schools for providing resources and programming around fitness, play, sport and general physical activity. Drew also points out that the competitive sports model isn't for everyone, and may only serve a small minority of kids, while alienating the larger youth population. Resources must be provided a multiple levels, reaching teachers, coaches, parents, recreation centers, sport organizations and kids. COVID-19 has made it difficult to implement a lot of these programs in person, but has also created other opportunities for disseminating useful resources for all groups.Drew Mitchell is the Director of Physical Literacy for the Sport for Life Society and works as a consultant focused on the development of physical literacy at the community level and promoting the Canadian Sport for Life Movement. He is a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Drew has worked extensively in the sport system as an educator and developer of programs for the past 19 years. He managed Sport Technical and Performance Services for viaSport BC and was the Manager of Science & Medicine programs for SportMedBC where he worked with over 50 different sports at the local, provincial and national level. He is also a past member of the Canadian National Canoeing Team and the former Health & Lifestyle Coordinator at the Downtown Vancouver YMCA.

Physical literacy is “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding required by participants that allows them to value and take responsibility for engaging in physical activity and sport for life”. A Physical Literacy Approach takes a holistic view of the participant that considers their physical; social and emotional; cognitive; and spiritual needs. By understanding that these dimensions influence the needs of every participant, within their specific environments, we can provide physical activity and sport experiences that inspire ongoing participation.

Welcome to Rapping PE! I'm your host - Steven Buller - AKA Beard Drip Buller - Repping Philly Philly! This is the place where we explore precarity, pedagogy, and physical education! This podcast is dedicated to physical educators of the future, past, and present. Dr. Tara Blackshear has, according to her website, " ... made a global impact by working around the world to improve the quality of life for others. Recognizing the discouraging health statistics in the United States, particularly among females and people of color, Dr. Blackshear focuses on research that confronts health and physical activity disparities, and inequities in education that disproportionately affect Black women." I invited Dr. Blackshear to join me on the show to discuss her paper #ShapeSoWhite and have a conversation about her work and what direction we should be moving as a profession. Her work sparked interested and conversation from many educators within the field, and even resulted in a conversation around the practices of our national organization known as SHAPE America. You can find her Unplugged episode with leaders from SHAPE on YouTube. As the late Congressman John Lewis, who represented Georgia's 5th District, once said, "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something." Dr. Blackshear's research, #SHAPEsoWhite, is a testament to speak truth to power and be part of the conversation. This is a great podcast that covers many important topics that are otherwise misrepresented or largely misunderstood by many educators. Topics like Embodied Approaches, Affirmations, the Policing of Bodies, Interest Conversion Theory, ethic of care and love, Physical Awareness over Physical Literacy, Extinction of PE, SHAPE's Teacher of the Year Award process, and more. Our conversation highlighted various questions like ... is the practice of awarding Teacher of the Year candidates a special place reserved for affluent schools? Is Physical Education for all or for some? Thank you for for checking out my podcast, I hope you enjoy the show. Please subscribe to the podcast Rapping PE.
