Abstract

ABSTRACT: Guidelines for the effective implementation of quality instructional physical activity programs (IPAPs) are essential to optimize both teaching and learning to meet the needs and interests of students in higher education (SHAPE America, 2022). These programs, also known as basic instruction programs, physical activity, and wellness programs, provide academic courses and resources that educate students on physical activity, sport, and fitness skills and knowledge that facilitates healthy, active lifestyles and fosters personal growth. This manuscript is valuable for faculty and administrators in higher education, introducing important new concepts that have emerged in the last decade for IPAPs in higher education and offering essential aspects to consider when evaluating IPAPs, including standards, values, technology, curriculum, and risk management.
