Cost-effective strategies
to increase MVPA in P.E.
The board can direct the superintendent or designee to
explore low- to no-cost strategies to increase activity
levels in P.E., including:
Providing teachers with class management and
teaching techniques to keep all students engaged and
active (e.g. small-sided games and circuits, active
role-taking, minimal transition times and concise
instructions).11
Utilizing inexpensive, discounted or donated equipment
(e.g. aerobic games using flying discs, jump ropes or
hula hoops).
Identifying support staff for P.E. teachers.
Using the expertise of P.E. staff to develop curriculum
that meets state standards and has MVPA as a focus.
Exploring funding opportunities to implement activitybased P.E, such as the federal Carol M. White Physical
Education Program grant, local businesses, corporate
sponsors, professional sports teams, community
foundations, nonprofit health agencies, hospitals,
physical activity clubs, health clubs and gyms and
insurance companies.
Board actions to
increase MVPA in P.E.
School boards have an opportunity to support physical
activity in P.E. through each of their major areas of
responsibility: setting direction, establishing an effective
and efficient structure, providing support to staff during
implementation, ensuring accountability and acting as
community leaders. For example, they can:
1) Develop an understanding among the board, district/
county office of education (COE) staff and the
community of the importance of MVPA in P.E. and its
link to student learning.
2) Adopt curriculum goals to increase physical activity
in P.E. by considering evidence-based P.E. programs
which have been documented to effectively increase
MVPA in P.E. (For more information, visit
