In 2002 'Increasing the emphasis on fitness, health and well-being in key stage 4' was written in consultation with leaders in health-education, secondary PE teachers, head teachers and members of the PE subject community.
Two years later the report 'Storing up Problems - the Medical Case for a Slimmer Nation' was written and aimed at all stakeholders including government, local authorities, health professionals, educators, food manufacturers, food retailers, advertisers and the public. It warned that being overweight restricts body activity, damages health and shortens life; and it harms self-esteem and social life.
The report's recommendations apply to all age groups from childhood to old age.Action needs to be taken at all levels; schools should not only promote healthy eating and increased physical activity, but also understand and show awareness of the social and cultural issues that have led to the increase in obese and overweight individuals.
This resource therefore aims to provide teachers and pupils with:
1. Background information and lesson ideas for the integrated delivery of knowledge and understanding of fitness and health in and through physical education lessons.
2. A learner centred approach that promotes individual responsibility and informed choice.
The resource itself is not the answer to promoting Fitness and Health or well-being. It is not the nations solution to the obesity problem. It is, however a tool, which can be used to enhance pupils' knowledge and understanding in this important aspect.

Learning through Games is an approach to teaching that uses games as the learning tool. It aims to provide enjoyment, increase motivation and develop tactical and strategic thinking - as well as the development of technique and the acquisition of skill.
Often one of the first questions asked at the start of a games lesson is “When are we going to play a game?” Children have a natural inclination for ‘play’; too often in the past they have been subjected to a ‘practice first – play later’ diet of skills based learning.
While the time invested in ‘skill/drill’ based learning may pay-off when games are eventually played, there has often been one key element missing from the skills, drills, game cycle - fun!
Learning Through Games - Football uses practices that progressively challenge and motivate pupils to develop an understanding and awareness of the skills, tactics, strategies, and rules required to succeed in games. In essence, it makes the game the focus of the lesson rather than the technique, and challenges pupils to think about what they are doing and why.

Observing Children Moving includes over 90 video clips of children performing a range of movement capabilities (i.e. roll, block build, run, climb, throw, catch, write, jump, clay activity, gallop, kick, strike).
Observing Children Moving is the product of a Physical Education Association of the United Kingdom (AfPE) research project and was created by a team of experts in children's movement development led by Patricia Maude MBE.
AfPE worked in partnership with Tacklesport (Consultancy) Ltd to produce the resource (supplied on CD-ROM for installation on the users hard drive). For ease of understanding, the resource is referred to as 'the CD-ROM'.
Observing Children Moving includes over 50 video clips of children performing a range of movement capabilities (i.e. roll, block build, run, climb, throw, catch, write, jump, clay activity, gallop, kick, strike).
Children at different stages of development are included and the capabilities are shown from a variety of camera angles.
Accompanying each of the 12 movement capabilities are observation tasks, grids analysing the movement pattern of each child and suggestions of activities for children at different stages of development. Also included are 'Hotspots' which indicate key points to enhance technical performance. These are designed to assist practitioners in helping children to improve their performance.
Observing Children Moving also includes a range of supporting material such as:
Observing and Analysing Learners' Movement includes over 100 video clips of children performing a range of motor patterns (i.e. shot put, forward roll, javelin throw, skip, jump to catch, hockey dribble, hurdle, pair balance, turn, tuck jump off apparatus, leap, handstand and tennis serve).
