<p>Exercise has a significant role to play in helping people living with osteoarthritis, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says in draft updated guidelines. Clinical evidence shows that when people with osteoarthritis are offered tailored exercises, such as muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise, they can achieve good health outcomes.</p>
<p>Healthcare professionals should support people with osteoarthritis and who are overweight by helping them choose a weight loss goal to help manage symptoms. Losing weight can have a significant impact on health outcomes for a range of conditions, but it can also help to reduce joint pain for people with osteoarthritis.</p>
<p>Osteoarthritis is caused by changes in the whole joint that can cause discomfort and pain. It is the most common form of arthritis, and one of the leading causes of pain and disability worldwide.</p></div>MPs debate making PE a core subjecthttps://www.wecanmoveinsight.net/articles/mps-debate-making-pe-a-core-subject2022-04-04T13:08:35.000Z2022-04-04T13:08:35.000ZLouise Silverhttps://www.wecanmoveinsight.net/members/LouiseSilver<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10260886501?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Source: Youth Sport Trust 25.03.22</p>

<p> </p>
<p>MPs have debated making PE a core subject in Westminster this week. It comes as Ofsted recently released its report reviewing what good PE teaching should include.</p>
<p>In the debate MP Edward Timpson made the case for a move towards PE becoming a core subject.</p>
<p>Youth Sport Trust research conducted in 2018 was referenced as evidence showing the whistle has been blown on PE time again in secondary schools with 42,285 hours of PE lost from state-funded secondary schools between 2011/12 and 2020/21. More recent research from the charity also showed an appetite from parents for more physical activity in schools and PE as a core subject.</p></div>UK Chief Medical Officers’ Physical Activity Guidelines for Disabled Children and Disabled Young People 2022.https://www.wecanmoveinsight.net/articles/uk-chief-medical-officers-physical-activity-guidelines-for-disabl2022-02-17T10:57:55.000Z2022-02-17T10:57:55.000ZLouise Silverhttps://www.wecanmoveinsight.net/members/LouiseSilver<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10115227083?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Source:Gov.uk 16.02.22</p>

The findings offer guidance for healthcare professionals that physical activity can be used to manage long-term health conditions and lead to more people being encouraged to become active.</span></p>

Fears that physical activity may exacerbate symptoms, or the necessity of getting the doctor's clearance prior to increasing activity levels have been identified as barriers to increasing physical activity. </span></p>
