There is overwhelming evidence that tells us just how important physical activity is, so we've created this page to link to academic papers, research documents and interesting articles.
We'll build this up over time and would like to hear from you if there is anything you would like to see added to this page.
We take no responsibility for the content of external links, we are simply providing this service to communicate the importance and power of PE and being physically active. Send all contributions by emailing us here
Every term we host an online meeting of our Best Practice Sharing Network.
We get together to discuss all the good things that are happening in schools and share ideas to get more kids moving more often.
Drop us an email if you would like to join the group and we’ll send you a link to the online meeting.
