PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND JUNIOR HIGH TEENAGER
Did you know that junior high school kids are at severe risk for low levels of activity and high rates of sedentary behaviours?
It’s true! Here are some of the facts which explain the low levels of physical activity:
- After the age of 10, the involvement level of adolescents in organized sport takes a steep dive;
- In the teen years, the number of minutes of physical activity per day drops; and
- Teens get an average of six hours of screen time per day, outside of school hours.
Translation? This is NOT GOOD! 
What can schools do to help? One positive approach they can take is to provide opportunities for meaningful physical activity throughout the day.
Offer some activity ideas within two categories; Cardio and Strength - This is where our KidsFit Cardio Kids Fitness Equipment plays a vital role in our children's lives.
Strength training for kids? You bet! Done properly, strength training offers many bonuses to young athletes. Strength training is even a good idea for kids who simply want to look and feel better. In fact, strength training can put your child on a lifetime path to better health and fitness.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Obviously, finding ways to increase children’s daily and weekly exercise opportunities should become a priority for parents, teachers and pediatricians. Recently, much has been done in schools to create infrastructures that promote healthy physical activity patterns, increasing children’s level of exercise, but not a lot has been done to influence fitness outside of school.
The value of physical fitness can never be overstated, and exercise is one of the only pure things in life where middle school kids can learn the value of taking care of themselves, and be motivated to take care of their bodies and eat nutritionally for the rest of their lives.
A Fit Body Means a Fit Mind
New findings from biology and education research show that regular exercise benefits the brain in numerous ways.
Not only can regular workouts in the gym or on the playground improve attention span, memory, and learning, they can also reduce stress and the effects of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and even delay cognitive decline in old age. In short, staying in shape can make you smarter.
Regular exercise everyday helps memory retention and learning functions. Our brains are all about brain cells actually changing, growing, and working better together.
For starters, aerobic exercise pumps more blood throughout the body, including to the brain. More blood means more oxygen and, therefore, better-nourished brain tissue.
Exercise also spurs the brain to produce more of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which Ratey calls "Miracle-Gro for the brain." This powerful protein encourages brain cells to grow, interconnect, and communicate in new ways. Studies also suggest exercise plays a big part in the production of new brain cells, particularly in the dentate gyrus, a part of the brain heavily involved in learning and memory skills.

PHYSICALLY FIT KIDS DO BETTER IN SCHOOL
A new study in the Journal of School Health found that physically fit kids scored better on standardized math and English tests than their less fit peers.
Researchers examined the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement "in a racially and economically diverse urban public school district of children enrolled in 4th through 8th grade."
The results showed that the odds of passing both math and english standardized tests dramatically increased as the number of fitness tests that were passed increased, even when controlling for gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status.
“For families and schools, these results suggest investments of time and resources in physical activity and fitness training may not detract from academic achievement in core subjects, and, may even be beneficial."
Exercise in the Classroom
Recently a teacher in Canada decided to test what effect exercise had on her students and found some amazing results. The teacher added two weekly bouts of exercise that were 20 minutes each and conducted them while still teaching her regular subjects like language arts and mathematics. At the end of the four-week trial, the teacher found that every single student went up a full letter grade in reading and math; some of her kids even went from F’s in vocabulary to A’s. This was similar to the findings of the study done by Georgia Health Sciences University.

Strength Equipment For Kids
For kids, light resistance and controlled movements are best — with a special emphasis on proper technique and safety. Your child can do many strength training exercises with his or her own body weight or inexpensive resistance tubing. Free weights and machine weights are other options.
Don't confuse strength training with weightlifting, bodybuilding or powerlifting. These activities are largely driven by competition, with participants vying to lift heavier weights or build bigger muscles than those of other athletes. This can put too much strain on young muscles, tendons and areas of cartilage that haven't yet turned to bone (growth plates) — especially when proper technique is sacrificed in favor of lifting larger amounts of weight.
