I think it changed from Physical Education to Healthy Active Living because it's not only about working out and running and all that it's about knowing on how to live a healthy life and having a healthy life you don't just need to work out you need to be eating properly and feeling good.

# data[].attributes.body
It's not all about physical education, it's about healthy living. Healthy living is not only physical and exercising, but it is also sleeping well, eating healthy , and being happy! It's also how your body functions. Physical Education infers that it is only working out and running, etc.

As this course has now been switched from Physical Education to Healthy Active Learning. The course is more than just about Physical Education. It properly summarize the whole concept of what we learn. We learn much more than just sports, fitness and do much more than move. We learn about living a healthy life, and other more about than just fitness.

Defining Physical Health

Traditional definitions of physical health prior to the onset of modern medicine would have considered someone physically healthy if he or she was not stricken with a serious illness. With modern medical innovations came longer life spans, which changed the way we define physical health. Today's definition can consider everything ranging from the absence of disease to fitness level.

While physical health consists of many components, here is a brief list of the key areas that should be addressed:

Physical activity - includes strength, flexibility, and endurance

Nutrition and diet - includes nutrient intake, fluid intake, and healthy digestion

Alcohol and drugs - includes the abstinence from or reduced consumption of these substances

Medical self-care - includes addressing minor ailments or injuries and seeking emergency care as necessary

Rest and sleep - includes periodic rest and relaxation, along with high quality sleep

Components of Physical Health

Below are ways that each key area of physical health can be addressed through lifestyle choices:

Physical activity: Most healthy children and adults should be active on a daily basis. This should be a mix of both leisurely physical activity and structured exercise. Examples of leisurely physical activity include hiking, biking, and walking. Examples of more structured forms of exercise include strength training, running, and sports.

Nutrition and diet: A well-balanced diet should contain carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Restricting specific nutrients should only be done under the supervision of a licensed health professional. Fluid, ideally in the form of clean water, should be regularly consumed. Meals and snacks should be consumed throughout the day, and portion sizes should be sensible.

Alcohol and drugs: Substances that alter mood or other bodily processes should be limited or avoided. Those with addictive tendencies or other health risks should consider complete abstinence from these substances.

Medical self-care: Basic items, such as bandages, lozenges, and over-the-counter pain-relieving medications, should be easily accessible from home. Long-term coughing, fevers, or other ailments should be addressed through primary care. Emergency treatment should be sought when signs and symptoms are significant or life-threatening.

Rest and sleep: While regular activity is essential for physical health, allowing the body to rest is just as important. Spending time relaxing or taking short naps can help rejuvenate the body. Sleep should take place in a quiet, dark environment and should last approximately 7-9 hours. Consistent sleep that is much shorter or longer than this duration, or is low quality, may need to be addressed by a health professional.

Physical Health Assessments

If you have visited a physician or personal trainer recently, you might know that assessing physical health can be done in a variety of ways. The following measurements can be used to test certain aspects of physical health:

General assessments - includes weight, body mass index (BMI), and reflex tests.

Disease risk factor - assessments includes blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose tests.

Fitness assessments - includes body composition (body fat percentage), flexibility, muscular strength, and endurance tests

Here are some simple, yet effective, examples of the various ways you can assess your own physical health:

This course is now called
Healthy Active Living because physical education does not cover the whole spectrum of everything we learn in gym class. We learn about health, how to eat properly, drink enough water and much more. You don't just go out and run laps the whole time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the course name has changed from physical education isn't about being healthy it is about exercising

Gym class shouldnt just be about movement it should also be about good nutrition, getting enough sleep, and knowing how to live healthy.

Gym class is now about, movement, exercising, being active, and learning about physical needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's because physical education does not include healthy active living and gym class is not just about sports but also about what you eat

# data[].attributes.body
- healthy active living is more inclusive to living a healthy lifestyle
- physical education gives the impression of being only about physical fitness

# data[].attributes.body
Because it is not only about physical activity anymore,
Now it includes things about health as well. Because physical activity is not the only way to stay healthy

# data[].attributes.body
- healthy living isn' just about exercising and fitness . It's also about getting the right nutrition and knowing what you need to to keep a healthy body
- Being physical doesn't mean your healthy
