The link between physical activity and childhood health cannot be overstated. Nationally, the prevalence of at-risk-of overweight and overweight six- to 11-year-old children has risen to 37.2 percent, nearly an eight-point rise in six years (Ogden et al., 2006). While parents and communities are urged to take more responsibility in promoting youth physical activity, schools have been identified as playing a key role in the development of physical fitness and the provision of physical activity opportunities for children (Story, Kaphingst, & French, 2006).
