Communicating the Value of Active, Healthy Lifestyles to Urban Students

Pages 164-169 | Published online: 20 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

Major obstacles to educational effectiveness exist for many Low-income students of color who attend urban public schools. Many obstacles appear to be correlated with low incidences of physical activity in children and adolescents. Three factors—immediate and continual success, a relevant currculum, and trusting and caring relationships between students and teachers—appear essential to catching and holding the attention and interest of urban adolescents, opening possibilities for regular participation in an educational physical education environment.
