Abstract
Engagement and participation in physical activity or bodily movement worldwide is below the World Health Organization's recommended levels at approximately 27% for adults and 81% for adolescents. Such inactivity and low levels of physical activity are linked with negative health consequences across all social categories, and educators in K-12 and university classrooms can positively influence culturally appropriate participation to increase well-being globally. Kinesiology classrooms and programs have a unique opportunity to include a diversity of experiences and curriculum to influence students' views and incorporation of movement into their lives. This chapter explains 10 specific strategies, includes suggested language, and provides ideas and assignment models to use in university and college classrooms.
