377 Alliance Scholar Lecture: On Their Own: Preparing Students for a Lifetime

What knowledge, skills, and attitudes do students need to be physically active for a lifetime? Are they ready to go it alone when teachers and coaches no longer provide the activities, structure, and motivation students come to expect in traditional physical education/activity settings? This presentation will synthesize research and best practice evidence examining the content, skills, and meanings that students must find in physical education/activity settings to seek and pursue physical activity for a lifetime.
