The spaces for physical activity and movement provided by Singapore are not fully used by children and adolescents. Although they are more active than their peers globally, more than 50% fall short of hitting the target one hour a day of vigorous exercise. Parents are encouraged to play with their children frequently, take them outdoors and allow them to learn different motor skills. Schools could provide small “movement breaks” in between sit-down lessons, to break up too much time seated period. Families can also exercise and do activities like hikes, walks and cycling together, and schools could make sports co-curricular activities accessible to all students. 🔎Access the full article of The Straits Times: https://buff.ly/40Zrl8y

This NATM we want to highlight Mark Florence, MAEL, LAT, ATC at Naperville Central High School! “Any sort of computer-based test makes baseline and post-injury testing a little bit more difficult. Using the students’ own phones was so much nicer. We get the data we need that helps us make quality decisions. We baseline test in larger groups in our main gym."

Every day for the past fortnight, one of my sons has come home from school and spent the next hour or two going up and down the footpath on his skateboard. Every few days he’s gone further, he’s made it to the school and practised there, he’s discovered a boy around the corner who is also keen on skating, he’s failed 100 times and picked himself up and pushed himself in a way that I know doesn’t come easy. He’s practised resilience and managing frustration and starting over again and again. He’s waited patiently as the toddler next door wanted a turn. He’s negotiated turns and point scoring with his brothers. He’s felt pride and exhaustion. All the things people who observe children at play see every single day. When we talk about valuing active play and safer streets and the freedom to play out, we are actually talking about allowing our children the time, the safe spaces and the permission to grow and learn and challenge themselves to become well rounded adults. It’s developmentally appropriate that kids do this- but we seem to create so many barriers both as parents and as a society. I’ve spoken to families who would happily allow their kids to play out- but the barriers are just too big to easily give that permission. Who could blame them? What ends up happening is that this kind of free after school play becomes a privilege. It becomes something that happens easily in some communities and rarely in others. What is the impact of that? Theres definitely no single solution, but an excellent starting point is getting people on board to see how incredibly important this is to the next generation, and how it starts right in our own neighbourhoods.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🏀⏱️ Engaging in after-school sports is often seen as a surefire way for teens to boost their daily physical activity.
