Keynote Address: Where to go from here: Trends in youth health and fitness with Gabriela Tymowski
Recent trends in youth fitness and health lead many to despair about the future of today's children and adolescents. Many young people have neither been exposed to, nor have adopted healthy and active lifestyles thus far in their lives. A significant number are already suffering from the short-term consequences of physical inactivity and poor nutrition, which may be manifested through the prevalence of obesity with its health-impacting sequelae. Research indicates that early physical activity and nutritional habits and experiences generally persist over a lifetime; therefore, action needs to be taken early on to help young people avoid the severe long-term consequences of unhealthy practices. This presentation will examine up-to-date research to identify the current state of affairs of young people's health and fitness status, and will focus on realistic strategies for reversing the trend through facilitating the development of healthy and active living habits for a lifetime.
