The Growing “Inactivity”
Epidemic
It’s no secret - we have a
childhood obesity epidemic
in the U.S…
•
In 2000, 15% of children
and adolescents were
overweight… that’s 3 times
the proportion in 1980
(CDC)
…but did you know that one of
the leading causes is actually
an inactivity epidemic?
Trends* Among Children
• An overweight adolescent has 70% chance of
becoming an overweight adult.
• More overweight children are going into hospitals
for diabetes (including Type 2), sleep apnea,
asthma, hypertension and high blood pressure.
• Obesity shortens the lifespan by 9 years
• The costs of childhood obesity more than
tripled in the last 20 years to $127 million.

See A Sermon
I’d rather see a sermon than
hear one any day . . . I’d rather
one should walk with me than
merely show the way.
The eye is a better pupil and
more willing than the ear. Fine
counsel is confusing, but
examples always clear.
I soon can learn to do it, if you’ll
let me see it done. I can see
your hands in action, but your
tongue too fast may run.
And the lectures you deliver
may be very fine and true, but
I’d rather get a lesson by
observing what you do.
For I may misunderstand you
and the HIGH ADVICE you
GIVE,
BUT there’s no
misunderstanding how you act
and how you LIVE!!

Brain Development
• Music, rhythm, repetitive practice of
patterns … using balance and eyetracking are all powerful tools for
physical and mental learning.
Vanessa Sluming, University of Liverpool, 2002, UK
Brain Development
• To improve our brains, we have to move
our bodies… Exercises involving learning
a series of complex movements while
coordinating one’s balance have been
proven to generate a greater number of
connections between neurons. These
connections make it easier for children of
all ages to learn.
John Ratey, Harvard Medical School, , 2001 & 2008
Brain Development
• Brain-compatible learning means that
educators should weave math,
movement, geography, social skills, role
play, science, and recreational music
making together.
Larry Abraham, University of Texas, 1997
Math Research Pilot Study
Data
– Two 3rd Classes at local
elementary school

in each class
– Students alternately put into control
and experimental group
– Students in both groups received
math classroom instruction
