Teaching Strategies with Pedometers for All Children
Foley, John Thomas; Lieberman, Lauren J.; Wood, Barbara
RE:view: Rehabilitation Education for Blindness and Visual Impairment, v39 n4 p206-212 Win 2008
The authors suggest incorporating pedometers into the physical education curricula for schoolchildren, especially children with visual impairment, as a way to combat childhood obesity. The authors offer activity ideas to incorporate pedometers into physical education classes and to encourage children with visual impairment to participate more fully in the classes. They also urge physical education teachers to promote physical activity outside the school.
