Promote health and fitness in the physical education classroom.

Physical educators play a critical role in encouraging students to live healthy, active lifestyles. Physical Best: Physical Education for Lifelong Fitness and Health, Fifth Edition, equips preservice and in-service teachers with a comprehensive, functional approach to incorporating fitness education into physical education classes at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels.

The 2024 National Physical Education Standards are integrated throughout the fifth edition, so teachers can use the material and be confident that it adheres to current SHAPE America standards. Developed by experts, the Physical Best approach is the gold standard to teach fitness education in K-12 physical education classes. It emphasizes the following:



Promoting the benefits of fitness, health, and physical activity for all students
Equipping students with the knowledge and skills to move confidently
Individualizing goal setting, assessment, and self-monitoring
Identifying movement opportunities that are personally enjoyable and meaningful
Preparing students for assessments and giving them many opportunities to practice

Updates to this edition include new sidebars called Teaching Tips that highlight practical ways to apply the content and a new chapter on comprehensive school physical activity programs (CSPAPs). Related downloadable and modifiable online resources, delivered via HKPropel, include a collection of 100 ready-to-use activities developed and categorized according to the Grade-Span Learning Indicators from the National Physical Education Standards.

Physical Best, Fifth Edition, assists current and future teachers in delivering quality physical education programming to their students. It discusses best practices, provides up-to-date content, and shows how to integrate health-related fitness education and assessment into an existing curriculum. With this approach, teachers can feel confident that their students will meet the National Physical Education Standards.

Human Kinetics is proud to publish this book in association with SHAPE America, the national organization that defines excellence for school-based health and physical education professionals across the United States.
