In this article a group of doctors conducted a program entitled “JOIN”
which was set on lowering the BMI of children and their parents. The study was
conducted on those in the YMCA and through local pediatric practices. The study
was a cooperative series of sessions where the parent does some in home
sessions, over the telephone, and face to face at the YMCA. The sessions at the
end of treatment reduced the BMI of the children along with their parents.
I would be able to use this in my paper and perhaps use it to bring home
to my Leaders’ Club. I could project the ideas from this article to my discourse. It
will be very easy to incorporate how this program could benefit my discourse.

In this article the ACT (Actively Changing Together) worked with the
YMCA to create a program that lowered the BMI of youth 8-14 years of age.
Once the program had ended the results were that the BMI z-score decreased
37% of the youth and stabilized 48% of them.
I think this is beneficial because it explains about a program that is
effective in lowering BMI and I really need to help my discourse become
healthier so they are able to pass the required physical fitness test.

Even though this is just a summary I am still using it. It gives a great
information on what my topic is truly about. Obesity, and the fact that my
discourse needs to be working out in order to pass a simple physical fitness test.
I plan to use this as a base on my thesis and work from there with the
information from this summary. I may also check out the book.

This is a great article it explains that strength is in numbers and that a
community can become healthy by working together in a partnership. A
community is strong together! Some of us have a hard time doing things alone.
I will be able to use this in my work because my discourse relies on each
other as a whole and we need each other to grow and do better. I will make
sure this is incorporated when introducing my discourse.

I love this article. “Sometimes Old Can Be New.” And that is so true in
itself but just because we have all brand new workouts all the time doesn’t mean
that getting down to the basics is not effective.
This gives me a lot of good workout ideas that I could possibly have put in
my paper if I decided to explain how I was going to get them to become
physically fit.

They are practicing using a stability ball. This helps with core and has
become rather popular in this day and time especially among the young adults.
In this article it explains more exercises, though these are with a stability ball.
This can be very difficult and hard to do. It would require much practice.
I believe this would be very beneficial to go back and teach my discourse.
It looks really fun and I can find ways to incorporate it through my paper. I know
that core workouts help with your sit-ups and sit-ups are a part of our physical
fitness test so I will see if I could separate those into paragraphs by physical
fitness requirements.

This is an article I plan to go check out at the library but the summary
gave very good information that made me want to go check it out. It explained
that there are fun ways to work out like “Dodgeball 101” and for kids and teens
that is how they choose to work out. We cannot always expect them to be ready
to go lift weights at 13.
I found this summary of the article to be very helpful and I am going to
incorporate it as a little joke in my paper. I want the paper to be serious about
getting fit for the fitness test but I also want to be funny saying that there are
classes available like “Dodgeball 101” or “Pogo Bootcamp.”

A complex interplay of genetics; epigenetics; and intrauterine, infancy,
childhood and family non-genetic factors may also be involved. • Obesity in
children and adolescents is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular
abnormalities and other adverse health outcomes. • Modifiable risk factors for
childhood obesity are maternal gestational diabetes; high levels of television
viewing; low levels of physical activity; parents' inactivity; and high consumption
of dietary fat, carbohydrate and sweetened drinks. • Obesity is commonly
measured in children by plotting body mass index on a standard growth chart to
adjust for sex and age using a defined cut-off point

Web. 20 Feb 2013.
This site created by the FCC states that “All media and entertainment companies
should limit the licensing of their popular characters to food and beverages that
are healthy and consistent with nutrition standards.” This state that media is
showing too much flashy advertisement that has to deal with obesity and children
who are overweight. If we are able to put more advertisements of food with
healthier qualities children are more likely to want those items.
