WhyPAnA? RISK OF DEVELOPING DIABETESChildren Born in 2000
Why PAaN? • Physical activity improves academic performance and decreases behavior problems. • Schools that offer physical activity have higher reading, writing, and mathematics test scores—even when physical activity leaves less time for academic instruction. • Students who participate in daily physical activity are better prepared to focus on tasks and to learn.
California After School Physical Activity (CASPA) Guidelines • These guideline were developed as a result of Education Code Section 8484.8 • This code required the California Department of Education (CDE) to develop voluntary after school PA guidelines for CDE-funded after school programs, including ASES, 21st Century and ASSET’s http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/ba/as/documents/paguidelines.pdf
Physical Activity: How Much is Enough? At least 60 minutes EveryDay ! • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all youths participate in 60 minutes of developmentally appropriate moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) each day. • Guideline #7 suggest that after school programs provide a minimum of 30 to 60 minutes of MVPA (not necessarily during one session or structured)

Why PAnA? If I drink 1- 20 oz. bottle can of orange soda every day for 1 year…
How many pounds of sugar would I consume in one year? 7984 tsp. 70.3 lbs.
The calories from adding just one 20-ounce soda a day to your diet--for a year, is the same amount of calories in 34 pounds of body fat — allempty calories from added sugar.

Challenges to Implementing PAnN And, So. . . That won’t work. . . We don’t have time. . . My staff can’t do. . . Scenarios/Brainstorm
After School Program Scenario (Day One) • You have planned a “Family Health Night” to promote PAaN. While setting up the potluck, a parent bring Safeway cupcakes and CapriSun to contribute to the event. • You have established a “Healthy Eating Policy” in your program and there are a couple of staff members who continue to come into program with a “fast food lunch”. Your students see them as they come into program. • Your schedule makes time for all students have at least 30 minutes of PA daily. Each week you provide a new game for your staff to implement with the expectation that they lead the activity during recess time. Most of your staff make sure that the activities are being implemented and you see them engaged and playing with the students. You have one staff that never participates with the students and often sits students out of the activity because of behavior. • DIRECTIONS: • Break into Groups • Discuss Scenario • - How could you address this issue? • - What are the first 3 steps you would take?
After School Program Scenario (Day Two) • Tony is a student in your class. He is above average in academics and tends to sit by himself and not engage with others. He is overweight and has some difficulty walking and you have observed him out of breath as he is climbing stairs. You have also noticed that other students are disrespectful towards him. • During snack time many of your students pull out “junk food” to eat. When you remind them about your programs healthy snack policy they tell you that they are hungry and that they don’t like the snack. • You are trying to improve attendance for your program and have set up a reward system for student attendance. As you and your fellow staff members brainstorm possible rewards a pizza party to suggested. • Your program has a daily recess period at the beginning of program. This was time was set up to ensure that students have the opportunity to participate in daily PA. You notice many students setting on benches chatting or just hanging out. • Your after school program has Friday Sports Clubs and you notice that many of the girls don’t actively participate during club time. • DIRECTIONS: • Break into Groups • Discuss Scenario • How could you address this issue? • What are the first 3 steps you would take?
