Youth Fitness ProgramsIt's a fact: America's youth are becoming less active, more overweight, and are at an increased risk of severe medical conditions once seen only in patients 30-40 years older. Consider this: In two surveys comparing obesity rates from 1976-1980 and 2003-2004, the rate of obesity among 6-11 year olds increased from 6.5% to 18.8%; and for those aged 12-19 years, the prevalence increased from 5.0% to 17.4%! These increasing rates raise concern because of their implications for America's health. Obesity increases the risk of many diseases and health conditions, including: - Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Cancer
- Osteoarthritis
- High cholesterol
