Introducing a Weight-Inclusive Paradigm in Sport and Physical Education
Alex Derbyshire; Saemi Lee; Sierra Cordova; George Crocker; Luciana Zuest
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v37 n3 p44-48 2024
The increased focus on preventing obesity in physical education spaces often leads to weight-centric ideology and anti-fat attitudes that subject fat students to weight stigma and can reduce their enjoyment of and engagement in physical activity. To promote lifelong physical activity and health among students, physical educators must reexamine their beliefs regarding weight as an indicator of both health and capacity for physical activity. This article discusses common misconceptions about the relationship between weight, health, and physical activity and provides examples and resources for educators to create a more weight-inclusive physical education program.
