THE 'ROOTS' OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
WHERE DO KIDS LEARN BASIC PHYSICAL SKILLS?
CHILDREN LEARN BASIC SKILLS AT TWO PLACES
-
AT HOME WITH PARENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS
2. IN SCHOOL IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
​
AT HOME, 'PLAY' HAS MOSTLY EVAPORATED
KIDS PLAYED CONSTANTLY
DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN?
-
NEARLY 50% OF SCHOOLS HAVE ELIMINATED PHYSICAL EDUCATION
-
EVEN IF PE STILL EXISTS, IT HAS BEEN CUT DOWN DRAMATICALLY
-
THE AVERAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUDGET FOR PE IS $462 PER YEAR
-
SCHOOLS HAVE ALSO CUT BACK RECESS AS WELL
IN SCHOOLS, KIDS SIT ALL DAY AND ARE SEDENTARY
THE RESULT: KIDS ARE NOT ACTIVE AT HOME OR IN SCHOOL
-
OUR KIDS ARE INACTIVE, UNHEALTHY AND ARE HEALTHCARE TIME-BOMBS
-
CHILDREN NEED TO MOVE FOR AN ACTIVE AND HEALTHY MIND AS WELL
-
LOOK AT THE 'INACTIVITY PANDEMIC' RESEARCH. OUR KIDS ARE IN BAD SHAPE
​
THE SOLUTION: GO TO 'WHERE ALL THE KIDS ARE', SCHOOLS
-
THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH
-
PHIT AMERICA IS DOING THIS EVERY DAY. WE HAVE HELPED REBUILD OVER 1100 SCHOOL'S PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
