January Blog: Physical Education viewed through the Lens of Healthspan, Part Three – Strength

Physical Education viewed through the Lens of Healthspan, Part Three – Strength

This month's blog is Physical Education viewed through the Lens of Healthspan, Part Three – Strength .

This blog is the third in a series discussing how to gain perspective on the value of physical education by viewing it through the lens of "Healthspan". This blog covers the importance of Strength - the ability of the muscles, bones and joints to effect a force on physical objects. Along with discussing Strength through the lens of "Healthspan," we touch on key elements of strength and provide a short list of resources on strength training.

Guest Blogger Bill Franklin, the CEO of Internet4Classrooms, is our guest blogger this month. He has been on the faculty at The George Washington University, has years of platform instructional experience, was a career Army Special Operations officer and also has decades of experience as a youth sports coach.
