| Moving & Learning: Developmentally Appropriate Fitness for Young Children |
| Structure | Council of Physical Education for Children |
| Description | Given the appalling statistics relative to children's overweight and obesity, it's evident that fitness must become a goal -- and physical activity a habit -- in the early years. But we can't approach fitness for young children in the same way we do for their older counterparts -- not if we want our young students to continue to love movement. This participatory workshop explores developmentally appropriate activities falling under the headings of cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. |
