Physical and Emotional Safety
SHAPE America Appropriate Practices
  • 1.3.1 Activities are selected carefully and modified to ensure a safe learning environment for students. Emergency action plans are posted and practiced.

  • 1.3.3 Physical educators maintain up-to-date first aid, CPR and AED certifications.
  • 1.3.4. Facilities and equipment are maintained and inspected regularly for safety hazards.
  • 1.3.6 Teachers ensure student safety by monitoring class closely.
  • 1.6.3 Physical educators provide appropriate experiences for students with temporary medical limitations (e.g., a student with a broken arm can ride an exercise bike).

Concussions
​Concussions Also Happen Off the Field (2018): "It's not a direct contusion on the brain that's a problem. Actually, what happens is because your brain shakes inside your skull, the neurons all stretch. It's really a more diffuse injury."
​

Risk of Concussion During Sports Versus Physical Education Among New Mexico Middle and High School Students (2018)​​: "In our data, the risk of concussion was higher in physical education than in sports. This suggests that concussions should be tracked for a wide range of youth athletic activities, not just for sports."
