| Hello/Intro Vending Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Childhood Obesity has reached epidemic proportions. 20 years ago, 5% of American children were overweight. Today 15% of kids between 6 and 19 are overweight --and another 15% are headed that way. Schools -- have become nutritional disaster areas. The state's Healthy Schools Coalition is fighting back -- launching programs to improve diet and exercise among all students. We traveled to Rochester recently to find out about a new pilot program aimed at cutting the number of super-sized kids. |
| Intro Exercise Return to index of stories... |
Results of Rochester's experiment will be weighed along with 6 other school districts -- to possibly come up with a model that might be used state-wide. Rochester's new "healthier" vending machines will be installed in the fall. Junk Food isn't the only culprit. Lack of excercise is also a contributing factor in the Childhood Obesity epidemic. In 1969, 80-percent of kids played sports every day -- today, only 20% do. Should getting kids MOVING. be part of a school's educational mission? Here to talk about that are: Doctor Charles Cappetta, a pediatrician at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic in Nashau, Louise McCormack, a Professor of Physical Education at Plymouth State University, and Rae Pica, author of "Your Active Child." 1 DR CAPPETTA: Our Love Affair with Sugar has led to ever-expanding waistlines. Kids are getting fatter younger --and sicker younger. What kinds of health complications are you seeing in kids as a result? Is Diabetes on the rise? |
| Exercise Discussion Return to index of stories... |
1 LOUISE McCormack: We hear about Schools contracting for pizza and sodas -- while CUTTING BACK phys-ed classes. What is the STATUS in NH -- are schools cutting back P.E. Classes? 2 RAE PICA: You've written the book, literally, on active kids. What are we doing wrong that we see so many kids overweight and on the road to obesity? What advice would you give parents. 3 DR CAPPETTA: 86% of Ameicans believe the MOST important cause of obesity is "NOT getting enuf excercise". -Are schools dropping the ball when it comes to promoting PHYSICAL ACTIVITY for students. - How does the Granite State FitKids program work in addressing that problem? 4 LOUISE MCCORMACK; The state is putting its support behind what's called "Real World Learning" -- giving students credit for activities done outside the classroom -- a budding ballerina, or school athlete would be able to get out of phys ed class. You're NOT a supporter of that, why? 5 RAE PICA: We have a lot of coach potatoes out there! How do you motivate kids to get ACTIVE, in this technology era -- you're competing with computers, tv --video games, phones? 6 DR CAPPETTA: You threw your weight behind recent Legislation that calls on school districts to recommend daily physcial activity to pupils. It passed. IS THAT ENUF? 7 LOUISE MCCORMACK: Recent statistics show that a typical elem school kid engages in moderate to vigorous ex for only about 3 minutes in most gym clasess -- kids are AEROBICALLY active for just 3 minutes. PAINT US A PICTURE of a typical phys ed class in NH? 8 RAE PICA: How important is recess. Some schools eliminate recess citing safety and supervision issues. Is that part of the problem? 8 CAPETTA/ OR Louise McCormack: How do you get communities, Industry and government to TACKLE the obesity epidemic? 9 ALL: One-Half of all students and 75% of high school students do NOT attend any phys ed classes. Standards-based reform has been DETRIMENTAL to physical education. TRUE OR FALSE? 10 LOUISE MCCORMACK: PHys ed needs to be a rigiorous academic experience in sync with national standards. Students have to be held accountable! And, Schools need to ensure P.E. classes are fun. . No easy solution -- but, if you had a magic wand and could change ONE thing.what would it be? 11 Some parents worry that more time in the gym means less time in class-- BUT, isn't it true that academic performance can actually IMPROVE with more activity. |
