Over the last decade there has been a large amount of research indicating the benefits of daily exercise. That said, why are children not engaging in exercises that will improve their fitness?

We know that physical educators can "do fitness to children" through traditional teaching methods. However, there is little if any transfer from classroom to outside-of-class activity.

Incorporating a high autonomy teaching climate into a fitness based unit can accomplish just that.
