Physical Activity Status: Manitoba • Only 22% of Manitoba youth aged 5-19 achieve the equivalent of 120 – 150 min/day of MVPA (CLFRI, 2009) • >30% of Manitoba youth are overweight or obese (CHMS 2007)

Manitoba Context Healthy Kids, Healthy Futures Task Force Report: The task force recommends that the government mandate PE/HE from kindergarten to Grade 12 in Sept. ‘08. http://www.gov.mb.ca/healthykids/

Manitoba PE Policy Requirements • Minimum of 110 credit hours of PE/HE • Minimum 55 hours of MVPA (30 mins MVPA Daily) Support: • $3.8 Million to support policy implementation • Secondment of PE/Health Consultant for 2 years to oversee implementation
Manitoba PE Policy Options for Policy Implementation: • 100% IN – All PE and Health Ed In School • 50/50% - Some in, some out (Health On-line) • 25%/75% - eg. All PE in health ed on-line • 100% out of school on-line NOTE: Out of class time is logged on an excel sheet and reviewed by PE teacher frequently

The Challenge • - PE levels decline over time in adolescence • Parallel intervention at provincial/national level • Child tax credit, Participaction Olympic Games, gas prices • School-based initiatives Nader, P.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS • Will the policy reduce the number of inactive youth in Manitoba? • Will the policy prevent the major decline in PA levels between grade 9 and 12? • Does the school environment determine the effectiveness of the policy? • What factors identified by stakeholders facilitate effective policy implementation?
