What is Maximum Participation?
Maximum participation in Physical Education is simple:
Having students be physical active for the maximum amount of time one class period allows.
Why do we Strive to Reach Maximum Participation?
There are many reasons why we strive to reach Maximum Participation in our physical Education classes each and every day.
1. Physical Education is mandated by New York State and The U.S.
2. Childhood Obesity Epidemic
3. Benefits of Physical Activity
Physical Education is Mandated by New York State

Physical Education National Standards
SHAPE America's National Standards define what a student should know and be able to do as result of a quality physical education program. States and local school districts across the country use the National Standards to develop or revise existing standards, frameworks and curricula.
Standard 1 - The physically literate individual demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.
Standard 2 - The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance.
Standard 3 - The physically literate individual demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.
Standard 4 - The physically literate individual exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others.
Standard 5 - The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.

Obesity Epidemic
"Nearly 78 million adults and 13 million children in the United States deal with the health and emotional effects of obesity every day."
What's causing the epidemic? It stems from two things: eating too much and exercising too little.

Benefits of Physical Activity
According to The Centers for Disease Control:
- Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence improves strength and endurance, helps build healthy bones and muscles, helps control weight, reduces anxiety and stress, increases self-esteem, and may improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that young people aged 6–17 years participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily.
- In 2013, 27.1% of high school students surveyed had participated in at least 60 minutes per day of physical activity on all 7 days before the survey, and only 29% attended physical education class daily
- Schools can promote physical activity through comprehensive school physical activity programs, including recess, classroom-based physical activity, intramural physical activity clubs, interscholastic sports, and physical education.
- Schools should ensure that physical education is provided to all students in all grades and is taught by qualified teachers.
- Schools can also work with community organizations to provide out-of-school-time physical activity programs and share physical activity facilities.
