SAN FRANCISCO Adidas NMD R1 Mesh Weiß Schweiz , April 13 (Xinhua) -- A new study indicates that frequent, long-term instruction in physical education (PE) helps adolescents be more fit, with improved cognitive function and academic performance.

At the same time, adolescents are equipped with knowledge about how regular physical activity relates to good health.

The findings, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, come at a time when regular physical education is on the decline in the United States.

While there is the U.S. federal government recommendation of at least 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity Adidas NMD R1 x Gucci Mesh Schwarz Schweiz , the study shows that more than one adolescent in five reported no physical education at all; nearly 40 percent of the students in the 459-person sample, whose ages ranged from 12 to 15, were obese or overweight; and only 26.8 percent met the federal guidelines.

"Perhaps some were not meeting the guidelines because fewer than 35 percent actually knew what the guidelines were for their age group," said study co-author Brad Cardinal, a professor in the Oregon State University School of Biological and Population Health Sciences.

"In the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, physical education is a core subject Herren Adidas NMD R1 W Cargo Grün Schweiz , on par with language, math and science. Its status was elevated for a reason," Cardinal said. "If you're physically active, you're going to be healthier and stronger and have fewer behavioral problems, and your cognitive function is going to be better."

Like physical education, participation in sports also correlated with more accurate student perceptions of the amount of physical activity necessary for good health didas NMD R2 PK PrimeKnit Weiß Rot Schweiz , as well as better performance on a variety of muscular fitness-related tests.

"Physical education trumps sports in a head-to-head comparison of the two," he was quoted as saying in a news release, "and when you have physical education plus sports, that's when you have students who are the healthiest, fittest, strongest and most active."

However Herren Pharrell x Adidas NMD Human Race Rot Schwarz Schweiz , the recognized U.S. expert on the benefits of exercise noted, "with only slightly more than one in four adolescents meeting the guidelines, today's youth are being shortchanged in terms of their holistic development. They are not being prepared to live the proverbial good life."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.

The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy Herren Pharrell x Adidas NMD Human Race Grau Schwarz Schweiz , were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.

Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy, saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.

Yellen, 67, took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke, who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.

In the public debut in her new role Herren Pharrell x Adidas NMD Human Race Grün Schwarz Schweiz , Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.

Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate, now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.

"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race Schwarz Gelb Schweiz ," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.

While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected, Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.

The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January, citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.

The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying, which now totals 65 billion dollars a month Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race Orange Schwarz Schweiz , at a similar pace at each Fed meeting and end it by the end of 2014, provided the economy develops generally in line with expectations.

Yellen also highlighted the Fed's financial regulatory role, saying that the work of making the financial system more robust " has not yet been completed."
