research

Physical inactivity is estimated as being the principal cause for:

1. approximately 21–25% of breast and colon cancer burden,

2. 27% of diabetes and approximately

3. 30% of ischaemic heart disease burden

It has been shown that participation in regular physical activity

reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, diabetes,

hypertension, colon cancer, breast cancer and depression.

Plato: the start of the mistake

12

Who was this man?

Plato (English pronunciation: /ˈpleɪtoʊ/; Greek: Πλάτων,

Plátōn, "broad"[2]; 428/427 BC[a] – 348/347 BC), was a

Classical Greek philosopher, mathematician, student of

Socrates, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of

the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning

in the Western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and

his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of

Western philosophy and science.[3]

13

In the famous words of A.N. Whitehead:

The safest general characterization of the European

philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of

footnotes to Plato.

14

What has Plato to do with PA and

Sport?

“Platonism" is a term coined by scholars to refer to the

intellectual consequences of denying, as Socrates often does,

the reality of the material world.

Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are the creators of “dualism”

Dualism is the theory that mind and body are two distinct

substances

15

The practical consequences

Education is based only in theory and movement is a small and less important part of it.

Although there is a great change in the mentality of the modern society we still live in a world that don’t consider man or woman as an unique entity but as a combination of mind and body, separated in a way or another, where mind has it’s own means of education and body other different means.

16

The situation of PE in school Not important

Not answering the needs of the children of today.

In our schools PE and sport is irrelevant:

2 hours in almost 30 of regular classes

Very strict and out of date methodology

Not very motivated teachers

Not interested school leaders

The strategic partners Sport organisations

Government

Universities

22

How to improve the role of sport in

education We need global aproach

We need to use the growing interest of society about sport

and PA

We need to collaborate with elite sport institutions

We must coordinate our efforts because we still have great

resistance for creating more space for PA in schools. We have

already identified our strategic partners but it is important to

work together with them more efectively.

23

How to improve the role of sport in non

formal education

Through institucionalisation (associations, clubs, )

Qualification of instructors and coaches

Building national and international networks

National bodies for promoting and developing sport for all.

“National Committee Sport for All”

24

The future of Sport for All is briliant but we

must work hard to bring it closer.

Thank you!
