The Health Benefits of Exercise for our Children!

 

There are many health benefits for children that engage in exercise. The American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, National Institutes of Health, the Mayo Clinic and Medscape note that children who exercise on a regular or semi-regular basis are likely to have:

• Controlled weight
• Greater bone density, healthy muscles and joints
• Rise in High Density Lipids (HDL) which is “good” cholesterol
• Lowered blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure
• Higher metabolic rate and faster burn of calories
• Better sleep
• Improved psychological well being
• Children who do not exercise are at much higher risk for negative health outcomes, especially chronic disease.

A large-scale study conducted by the NIH (published July 15, 2008) found that physical activity levels drop dramatically between the ages of 9 and 15. Inactive children, when compared with active children, weigh more, have higher blood pressure and lower levels of heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDL cholesterol). (Source: American Heart Association)

How much should children exercise?

The answer varies from person to person. To find specific information on physical activity recommendations, click here to view the Maryland Fitness Council’s Physical Activity Recommendations by Age.

  

Can exercise increase children’s school performance?

Preliminary studies are suggesting that physical activity increases attention span and that students who exercise at least 60 minutes per day perform better on testing then students who do not exercise. (Source: Education World)
