When we cut PE, we fail to teach lifelong PA habits. When we use exercise as punishment, we succeed only in framing it as an unpleasant experience. Changing a culture of inactivity starts w/ the habits, attitudes, & affective experiences we provide kids related to PA & exercise.
"We know that participation in #PhysicalActivity and #Exercise has emotional consequences. Even though this is a society that is in need of higher levels of physical activity, a lot of the things we do are not optimal in terms of creating positive affective or emotional memories"

Physical activity can give people many benefits, but only if they're physically active. "The prime objective must always be to keep the children active and the adults active" - Dr. Paddy @Ekkekakis
Video by @IowaStateUNews in which @M_A_Ladwig and I explain the rationale and the motivation behind our research examining affective associations for #PhysicalActivity in #children. The handsome fella on the bike is the product of my long-term collaboration w/ Dr @SpyridoulaVazou

It’s National Falls Prevention Awareness Day. Falls and fear of falling can diminish ability to lead a full and independent life. While 1 in 4 older adults falls each year, falling is not a part of normal aging. A PT can help you reduce your risk of falls.

A nice article from Michael Kelly --> To get the population active requires a great deal more than drip-feeding them information and evidence. It requires increasing people’s opportunities to be able to be physically active (i.e. not just more gyms!). ↑ PA well worth investment!
More on behaviour change. https://t.co/ZLNbcRfQ7C
