- Title
American Kinesiology Association's Role in Promoting School Physical Activity Policy.
- Authors
Lounsbery, Monica A. F.; McKenzie, Thomas L.
- Abstract
This paper reviews the authors' evolution as kinesiology scholars to a public health focus via their research on school physical activity (PA) and policy. The authors present key findings from their work, including their recent focus group discussion with 20 school leaders, to substantiate their perspectives about the role that the American Kinesiology Association could play in supporting public health goals and promoting school PA policy. The authors conclude the paper by appealing to American Kinesiology Association to clearly identify PA and its promotion as a central area of study in kinesiology, strengthen its ties to public health, and advocate for putting the "physical" back in the National Physical Education Standards.
