"Building the Case for More PE"
Dr. Kristine A. Madsen (seen above) was the lead author in a new study demonstrating that physical education plays a key role in curbing obesity
and improving fitness among adolescents from low-income communities,
according to a new study led by researchers at the University of
California, San Francisco and UC Berkeley. To learn more, please click on the picture.
The study, which identifies opportunities for adolescents to improve
their health based on routine daily activities, finds that regular
participation in physical education class is significantly associated with greater
cardiovascular fitness and lower body mass index.
"We took an incredibly comprehensive look at all of the
opportunities kids have throughout their day to engage in physical
activity and determined which are the most strongly linked to fitness
and weight status," said first author Kristine Madsen, MD, MPH, an
assistant professor of pediatrics at UCSF Children's Hospital. "Obesity
continues to be a major public health concern, particularly in
low-income communities, so it is imperative that we develop targeted
interventions to improve the health of at-risk youth."
