Do you know the life-changing benefits to children who have 1 hour of exercise per day?  Here are a few:

 

• Academic scores may improve up to 40%

• Disciplinary issues are reduced in the classroom and at home

• Children experience less stress, depression, suicide, ADHD and improved sleep

• Self esteem and confidence are improved, and they are less susceptible to bullying and are less likely to bully

• Healthy children make better food choices

 

Studies show that children who exercise 1 hour a day will become happier, healthier and more productive members of our society, strengthening the U.S. position in an increasingly competitive world and reducing our nation’s health care expense today and in the future.  Learn more at our Research page
