Newswise - Washington, DC (April 29, 2014) - At a Congressional Fitness
Caucus briefing on Capitol Hill today, the National Physical Activity Plan
(NPAP) Alliance in collaboration with its Organizational Partner, the
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), released the first-ever United
States Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth, and Uncle
Sam could not possibly be proud of the 2014 grades.
.
Russ Pate, Ph.D., Chairman of the NPAP Alliance, revealed the inaugural
Report Card results, and Peter Katzmarzyk, Ph.D., Chairman of the 2014
Report Card Research Advisory Committee, explained the research
methodology of the 10 indicators evaluated. Fitness Caucus Co-chairs -
Reps. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) and Ron Kind (D-Wis.) - kicked off the
briefing, which included remarks from representatives of Designed to Move;
SHAPE America ; Ken Harvey, four-time Pro Bowl Washington Redskins
linebacker; and Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Olympic gold medalist.
.
"Physical activity levels in American youth fall far below the recommended
level, with only about one quarter of children aged 6-15 meeting the
current guideline of 60 minutes of moderate physical activity per day,"
said Pate, professor in the Department of Exercise Science in the Arnold
School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina. "Fifty
percent of waking hours are spent in sedentary activity for children and
youth, and this percentage rises with age."
.
Dr. Katzmarzyk, Associate Executive Director for Population and Public
Health Sciences at Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana
State University, said the primary goal of the Report Card is to assess
levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in American children
and youth, facilitators and barriers for physical activity and related
health outcomes. "We hope the Report Card will galvanize researchers,
health professionals, community members, and policy makers across the U.S.
to improve our children's physical activity opportunities, which will
improve health, prevent disease and disability, and enhance quality of
life," said Katzmarzyk.
.
The key indicators that were evaluated and graded as part of the U.S.
Report Card include:
.
1. Overall Physical Activity D-
2. Sedentary Behaviors D
3. Active Transportation F
4. Organized Sport Participation C-
5. Active Play INCOMPLETE
6. Health-Related Fitness INCOMPLETE
7. Family and Peers INCOMPLETE
8. School C-
9. Community and the Built Environment B-
10. Government Strategies and Investments INCOMPLETE
.
"This report illustrates the immediate need for a comprehensive action
plan to promote physical fitness for our young people," said Rep. Kind.
"It's hard to develop a healthy mind without a healthy body, and
encouraging healthy habits and routines early in life is something we all
can do to help our kids succeed in school and their communities. That's
why I'm working on a bipartisan basis with Congressman Schock and others
to make the healthy choice the easy choice for our children."
