Getting Kids Active in the School and Community E-book
-
As technology continues to occupy more and more of young children’s free time (kids between 8 and 18 years old consume around seven hours of screen time per day), children are spending less time moving their bodies. Youth sports leagues, recreational organizations, and unstructured backyard play are falling by the wayside as the digital world continues to capture and maintain kids’ attention.
Health clubs and fitness facilities have recognized this problem and are identifying ways to address the issue. Many have implemented in-club programs, while others have partnered with institutions—like schools and healthcare centers—to educate children on the importance of developing good habits now to ensure a healthy future.
