With today growing rates of obesity physical education is continually changing to make students more active. In the video i found it is showing how physical education is changing from competition driven to fitness driven. The teachers that were interviewed have incorporated adventure activities into their classroom. Activities they use are rock wall climbing, and team building activities have changed the focus from students wanting to win to students trusting their peers to help them succeed. By using these type of skills like, communication, trust, and cooperation students will be able to translate those skills into the classroom. The video also shows how to incorporate physical activity into the classroom. One teacher had a stationary bike in her classroom that created energy. Her students could go over and ride the bike whenever they felt like it during class. Another teacher did yoga with her students as a break during class.
