41. Research Results Physical activity: Participating in physical activity is important for children and teens as it may have beneficial effects not only on body weight, but also on blood pressure and bone strength. Physically active children are also more likely to remain physically active throughout adolescence and possibly into adulthood.Studies show: Children may be spending less time engaged in physical activity during school. Daily participation in school physical education among adolescents dropped 14 percentage points over the last 13 years — from 42% in 1991 to 28% in 2003. In addition, less than one-third (28%) of high school students meet currently recommended levels of physical activity.

43. What is obesity? To most people, the term "obesity" means to be very overweight. Health professionals define "overweight" as an excess amount of body weight that includes muscle, bone, fat, and water. "Obesity" specifically refers to an excess amount of body fat. Some people, such as bodybuilders or other athletes with a lot of muscle, can be overweight without being obese.

45. Measuring the exact amount of a person's body fat is not easy. The most accurate measures are to weigh a person underwater or to use an X-ray test called Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). These methods are not practical for the average person, and are done only in research centers with special equipment.

46. Weight-for-height tables, which have been used for decades, usually have a range of acceptable weights for a person of a given height. One problem with these tables is that there are many versions, all with different weight ranges. Another problem is that they do not distinguish between excess fat and muscle. A very muscular person may appear obese, according to the tables, when he or she is not.

51. Cutting PE Time Environment Portion Sizes Food Choices Too Much Sitting Role of Media Causes of Childhood Obesity

52. Role of Media A recent report concludes that the majority of scientific ` research indicates that children who spend the most time with media are more likely to be overweight. Contrary to common assumptions, however, most research reviewed for this report does not find that children's media use displaces more vigorous physical activities. Therefore, the research indicates that there may be other factors related to children's media use that are contributing to weight gain. In particular, children's exposure to billions of dollars worth of food advertising and marketing in the media may be a key mechanism through which media contributes to childhood obesity. http://www.kff.org/entmedia/upload/The-Role-Of-Media-in-Childhood-Obesity.pdf

54. Furthermore, many of the advertising and marketing campaigns enlist children's favorite TV and movie characters: from SpongeBob Cheez-Its to Scooby-Doo cereals and Teletubbies Happy Meals.

65. Get away from using food as a reward for good behavior, academic excellence, and incentives Food rewards are typically “empty calorie” foods —high in fat, sugar and salt with little nutritional value. They provide extra calories and replace healthier food choices. Using food rewards teaches kids to eat when they aren’t hungry and can cause them to develop life-long habits of rewarding or comforting themselves with unhealthy foods. Many of the “reward foods” contain food dyes which many have linked to aggravating hyperactive behaviors.
