News Around the Nation

 

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Schools are uniquely situated to help kids be more physically active. The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends two classroom-based interventions to increase physical activity: physical activity breaks and physically active lessons. These evidence-based recommendations are based on published systematic reviews that were selected and rigorously evaluated by a team of specialists.

 

National Institutes of Health

Longitudinal survey data of more than 3,000 adolescents ages 11-14 recorded before and during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 found that supportive relationships with family and friends and healthy behaviors, like engaging in physical activity and better sleep, appeared to shield against the harmful effects of the pandemic on adolescents' mental health.

 

K-12 Dive

The pandemic has led to increased interest from districts in community schools, a model that uses public schools to connect families with community resources and care for the “whole child,” according to education organization leaders. While the model had already been gaining traction before COVID-19 struck, community schools were uniquely positioned during its onset to support families’ needs.

 

Medical Dialogues

Resuming non-contact physical activity 72 hours after a concussion is safe, and may also reduce symptoms and the risk of delayed recovery, suggests the first and largest real-world, randomized clinical trial on the topic to be conducted with children and youth aged 10 to 18.
