A new UK Government means a new National Curriculum for PE.

While the aims of PE are hotly contested, who would disagree that a primary goal for PE should be to develop a positive and meaningful relationship in movement and physical activity for all pupils?

What if doctors prescribed free fruit & vegetables to improve health?

Here, 16 weeks of free produce delivered to ~5000 people was associated with (vs control group):

🔹 increased physical activity levels
🔹 reduced non-HDL cholesterol
🔹 reduced Hba1c (marker of blood glucose levels)

With fitness, it’s easy to get hung up on constant improvement.

But even maintaining fitness is a win - because we’re actively offsetting any losses that would otherwise occur.

And it doesn’t take much:

- 2 x aerobic training sessions per week (12-26 min per session) can maintain endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness (if intensity/heart rate is maintained)

- 1 x resistance training session per week (1 set per exercise) can maintain muscle size and strength (if intensity/load lifted is maintained)

New @IJBNPA: A scale up study of Physically Active Children in Education (PACE) 🏃 in 100 schools across 3 regions in NSW Australia showed a sizable increase in teachers’ scheduled physical activity (up an average 26.8 mins/week with a modest $ cost)! 🇦🇺🇦🇺

What happens to our brain when we exercise? 🏃
Dr Brendon Stubbs explains that after 10 minutes “you get lighting up within key areas of the brain," which helps brain cells grow & releases chemicals that can help reduce stress & inflammation.

We’ve all been there.

Despite our best intentions to be physically active, we don’t take action.

But how prevalent is this “intention-behaviour gap”?

A new analysis in over 26,000 individuals found almost half (47.6%) of “intenders” were unable to follow through with their intentions to be physically active.

Only 4.2% were “non-intenders” who exceeded their intentions, suggesting intention is a necessary, but insufficient, antecedent to physical activity.
