Children and Fitness


In part ten of Sport in a Contemporary Society there is a section titled Her Life Depends On It II. This section really sparked my interest. I am a personal trainer and consider myself a health promoter for all ages. Sports are such a great way to stay in shape and healthy. Sports usually appeal to kids because they are social and fun. Sports are often more enjoyable when an individual has the ability to succeed and perform well. I feel children who are good at sports enjoy them more than kids who are not and thus athletic children gain many of the benefits from playing sports including health and social advantages. I think it is important for parents, teachers and care givers to be aware of children who are not very talented at some sports and help them as soon as possible find something they enjoy that is active. As a fitness advocate I see that there are an endless of fun activities that girls can get involved in and it just takes an interest and someone to help show them the way of healthy living.
