NASPE/Comprehensive School Physical Activity Programs
| Speakers: | Monica A. Magner, Morehead State University, Morehead, KY; and Gina H. Blunt, Morehead State University, Morehead, KY |
This session is intended for those seeking practical information on the development of a comprehensive school physical activity program. A small rural county in Eastern Kentucky tackled the challenge of having the highest level of physical inactivity in the state. Participants will acquire effective strategies used by one middle school to change the school culture, develop a fitness lab, increase the physical activity in students, and create a cadre of health champions supporting a healthy lifestyle.
