Since health is often only an “add-on” class to the traditional PE lesson and consists of only a few random lessons, students may not necessarily gain the knowledge they need to achieve lifelong health. This article offers a few tips and tricks to teaching core health concepts quickly.

The purpose of the Strategies column “Theory into Practice” is to distill high quality research into understandable and succinct information and to identify key resources to help teachers and coaches improve professional practice and provide high quality programs. Each column (1,000–1,300 words or roughly four typed, double-spaced pages) summarizes research findings about a timely topic of interest to the readership to enable practitioners to apply research, knowledge and evidence-based practice in physical education and sports.
