  1. Eat Healthy & Exercise to Stay Fit for Life April Barabash CBSE 7201T Fall 2012

  2. Statement of the Problem • Some children suffer from a lack of self esteem and this effects their ability to excel in sports & exercise. (Glazebrook, Batty, Mullan, MacDonald, Nathan, Sayal, Smyth & Yang, 2011) • Obese children face a future of ill health because of poor eating and exercise habits. (Watson, Baranowski, Thompson, 2012) and (Gruber, & Halderman, 2009)

  3. Statement of the problem • There is a growing body of evidence that suggests a link between lack of physically activity and poor academic success.("Presidential youth fitness," 2012).

  4. Review of the Literature • “Everybody hates gym!” But why? (Graser, Sampson, Pennington, & Prusak, 2011) • FITNESSGRAM - the Solution (“Presidential youth fitness,”2012) and (Graser, et al. 2011)

  5. Review of the Literature • STAK (Steps to Active kids) (Glazebrook, et al. 2011) • Physical Education program targeting insecure or unhealthy children. (Glazebrook, et al 2011) • Goal- build their self-confidence to exercise so students will enjoy staying fit for life

  6. Review of the Literature • Exercise is good for your mind and your heart. • Staying fit through exercise and cardio fitness prevents heart attacks and strokes. (Thijssen, Cable, & Green, 2012) • Exercising strengthens the executive functioning portion of the brain. (Tomporowski, Davis, Miller, Nagliericite, 2008)

  7. MyPlate.gov -created by Michele Obama in 2010.(“A brief history of USDA good guides,” 2011.) Changing students eating habits is always a challenge.(Gruber, & Halderman, 2009), and (Watson, et al. 2012). Performance is only one factor to dictate a persons health.(Monyeki, Neetens, Moss & Twisk, 2012). Review of the literature Nutrition Plate Unveiled, Replacing Food Pyramid

  8. Research Hypothesis • This project will implement a nutritional program based on MyPlate and exercise strategies using the FITNESSGRAM. The student body will be fifty fifth graders. We will meet three times a week for morning classes that last forty-five minutes over a ten week period. The setting will be in P.S. X, an urban school in Brooklyn NY. The goal is to teach the students how to achieve a healthy life-style and become fit for life. (“A brief history, 2011)
