Youth Obesity
According to the CDC, childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. The prevalence of obesity among children aged 6 to 11 years increased from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008. The prevalence of obesity among adolescents aged 12 to 19 years increased from 5.0% to 18.1%.
The question is – what can we do as a community of health and fitness professionals to stop it? We know the issues, but what can be done to affect change? If you want to be a part of the global solution to make a difference in the health of our youth, and participate in changing our future – attend this symposium! As fitness professionals, our knowledge, influence and reach is far greater than we think. Learn how to implement change in your community with NASM, HFPN and our newest partner in fighting obesity, GameDay.
Join our panel of experts Dr. Mike Clark, Kristin Ondrak, MS, PhD, Ben Tucker and Dominique Adair,RD.
The session will conclude with a Q & A segment.
Date: Thursday, September 16, 2010
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM PACIFIC (2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EASTERN)
