Innovation in combatting children’s inactivity and obesity
November 27,2015
A behavioural perspective and practical solutions.
The statistics about children’s well-being make
uncomfortable reading.
The long-term future
for our children’s health is concerning government, local authorities and
educational bodies alike, but the measures to counteract over-eating and
under-activity still comprise of diet and exercise regimes that few
follow.
At the same time there is increasing evidence that long-term well-being is
affected not simply by low levels of fitness. Our increasing sedentary behaviour
is now a definitive health risk for all ages.
To counter this, it is time to consider a new approach
that instills activity into children’s everyday routine - not for fitness today
but as a behavioural norm that will protect them tomorrow.
Innovation in inactivity and obesity, sponsored by
Active Movement, is a conference dedicated to defining this new
approach. Speakers such Dr William Bird, Linda Baston-Pitt and Dr Mike Loosemore
will be revealing new thinking and practical solutions in the field of
education, nutrition and behaviour covering the early years of children’s
development.
