The idea for the resource directory was developed while attending the Be Our Voice Advocacy Training
sponsored by the Texas Pediatric Society on July 16, 2011. Be Our Voice is a project of the National
Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) along with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the
California Medical Association Foundation and the RWJF Center to Prevent Childhood Obesity. The goal
of Be Our Voice is to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic trend across the nation by training,
supporting and providing technical assistance to healthcare professionals in becoming advocates for
change within their communities. Be Our Voice encourages the healthcare provider to focus on
promoting change within the 5-2-1-0 Framework: 5- servings of fruits and vegetables per day; 2- limit
screen time to 2 hours or less; 1- hour of physical activity per day; 0- limit sugar-sweetened beverages;
BF- promote breast feeding; and BMI- screen patients for elevated BMI. While this directory focuses on
encouraging physical activity, it is recognized that other lifestyle changes are critically important to
prevent obesity and optimize health. All healthcare providers are encouraged to become involved in this
important initiative. More information is available at: http://www.nichq.org/advocacy.

INTRODUCTION
Obesity is a critically important public health problem in the U.S. Nationally, 35.7% of U.S. adults are obese (1).
Obesity frequently starts in childhood. In 2010 in the U.S., 12.1% of children ages 2-5 years were obese, rising to
18.0% of 6-11 year olds and 18.4% of 12-19 year olds(2). Texas ranks 12th in the nation for its obesity rate in adults
(30.1%) and 7th in the nation for its obesity rate in children and adolescents (20.4%) (3). Healthcare providers for
children in San Antonio face this problem every day. According to FITNESSGRAM data for students grades 3-12 in
Bexar County, 30% of students were found to have an unhealthy weight(4).
Increasing physical activity, along with dietary modification, is essential to fighting childhood obesity (5). In
addition to decreasing body fat, physical activity has been shown to have other important health benefits for
children, including improvements in HDL-C and triglyceride levels, blood pressure in mild essential hypertension,
bone density, symptoms of anxiety and depression, concentration, memory and classroom behavior (6,7). Adults
also greatly benefit from physical activity. Documented health benefits include decreased rates of obesity,
cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and depression and improved cognition and sleep
(8,9).
The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans were published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (8). These guidelines recommend 60 minutes or more of physical activity for children and adolescents,
with most of the time spent in either moderate or vigorous intensity aerobic activity. Adults should do at least 150
minutes per week of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity
throughout the week. Unfortunately, most Americans are not following these guidelines. According to statistics
from the American Heart Association (10), only 37% of 9th graders and 32% of 12th graders reported 60 minutes of
physical activity for 5 or more days of the week. Using accelerometer counts, only 42% of 6-11 year olds
performed 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on 5 of 7 days studied. Of adults studied, 33%
reported no leisure-time physical activity. Only 47% of adults report meeting the 2008 Physical Activity
Guidelines.
It is the goal of this directory to equip healthcare providers in San Antonio to provide effective and specific
anticipatory guidance to their patients and families about physical activity. This directory focuses on those
opportunities for physical activity that are free or low cost. It does not include the multitude of state-of-the-art
gyms and health clubs that are available. It also does not include many of the sports leagues and activities offered
by religious organizations in San Antonio. These groups provide outstanding opportunities for children and adults,
but at a cost that many families find prohibitive. Many of these groups do have financial assistance available for
these programs, so interested families should inquire directly.
The first part of this directory contains general information about some important resources related to physical
activity in San Antonio. This is followed by zipcode- specific lists which could be copied and given to the family. It
is hoped that families in San Antonio will take advantage of the fantastic parks and other resources available
throughout our city, but we are advocating daily physical activity for our patients. Realistically, this means that the
resource must be in close proximity to where the families live. There are a number of zipcodes with no listing.
The general handout on pages 19 and 20 can be given to these families. Alternatively, a handout on a nearby
zipcode can be used.
Everyone can benefit from physical activity, but it must be done in a safe manner. Children require ongoing health
supervision by their healthcare provider. Adults who are embarking on a new physical activity program should
have clearance by their healthcare provider. Anyone who develops discomfort or other symptoms while
exercising should seek prompt medical attention. In addition, we must all pay attention to our surroundings and
2
take appropriate measures to ensure our physical safety. Given these precautions, there are an amazing number
of wonderful opportunities to be active in this beautiful city. We hope that this directory will assist you in helping
you encourage your patients- Be Active San Antonio!

H-E-B BODY ADVENTURE
Witte Museum 3801 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209 (210) 357-1900
Hours: Mon 10-5, Tue 10-8, Wed-Sat 10-5, Sun 12-5
Admission: Children 3 and under FREE, 4-11 $6.00, 12-64 $8.00
Annual individual membership $40, Annual family membership $65
FREE ADMISSION on Tuesdays from 3-8 PM
www.wittemuseum.org
The H-E-B Body Adventure(check website for opening date) is a collaborative effort of the Witte staff, including Dr.
Bryan Bayles, PhD, formerly of the UTHSCSA, an anthropologist with a MPH who is helping to track evaluation and
method for the project; Dr. Julie LaBarba of the UTHSCSA , the primary content advisor, H-E-B, as the lead gift
sponsor to the project and a proponent of healthy living throughout South Texas; Bo Wich, manager of media
operations at UTHSCSA, and exhibit design firm Jeff Kennedy Associates (JKA). The H-E-B Body Adventure will
replace the H-E-B Science Treehouse exhibits. The goal of this exhibit is to empower visitors to optimize their own
health empowering them to “make healthy choices, move your body and relax your mind.” There will be over 30
interactive visitor experiences, including 13 which are linked to a Power Pass card system.
Power Pass System: visitors will sign in and select a buddy who will
act as
their learning companion throughout the exhibit. Twelve people from
South
Texas volunteered to act as buddies and went through an eight week
training and education program lead by various community leaders in
health and wellness, including the Culinary Institute, The Synergy
Studio and the San Antonio Botanical Garden. Videos of the buddies
will
be displayed to the museum visitors as they go through the exhibit,
telling personal and encouraging messages, helping to interpret the
exhibit experiences, and providing feedback. At the Power Pass sign
in
area, the visitor will enter their first name, age and sex. They will
receive an ID card the size of a credit card with their information and
their
name encoded on it. This card will be used to activate the 13 Power
Pass
components throughout the building. At the time of exiting the
exhibit, the visitors will sign out and receive a personalized Power
Profile printout that will include a preprinted reminder message on
one
side along with a personalized printout of exhibit experiences on the
other
side. Healthy food, EKG, and stride length are some of the
personalized information that will be included.
The H-E-B Body Adventure is designed to be a national model,
building on the Museums and Gardens Move-It program lead by
Michelle Obama, with components including:
1. Move It! This interactive “dance floor” was the first component of the exhibition to be installed in 2009, it
was part of a larger study to see how visitors reacted to health and wellness messages. It will be later
updated with an infrared camera that shows the difference in body heat before and after use of the floor
called What Color Is Heat?
2. Mount Witte: The iconic climbing tower was the next phase of the exhibition, installed in 2010. With a
base camp and stretching and muscle information, this helps visitors think about both exercise and body
self-awareness.
3. H-E-B Body Adventure Container Gardens and Geocaching: In the fall of 2011, container gardens that
showcase vegetables, herbs and medicinal plants along with both low tech and high tech walking courses
were opened. Healthy vending machines were also installed at this time.
11
4. South Texas Trailblaze: visitors will use a stationary bicycle to cycle through a South Texas landscape
featuring an on-screen avatar who races against other visitors. The visitor’s heart rate will be displayed
along with information about achieving a target heart rate and messages from his or her buddy.
5. See Your Own Heartbeat: visitors will grip handlebars to see their own EKG, next to a display with two
plastinated heart specimens explaining why Your Heart Never Sleeps.
6. Pick Up Your Pace: a video image will be captured of the visitors moving across a 12 foot walkway as
energetically as possible and an energy score will be generated from the speed and length of the stride. An
investigation station area will allow them to find their stride on a screen with other visitors’ strides,
including mystery guests like San Antonio Spurs members.
7. Build a Balanced Meal and Clean Out My Kitchen Games: two computer stations will engage visitors with
nutrition messages, including healthy choices with whole grains and lean meats and easy substitutions to
less healthy traditional South Texas favorites.
8. Supersize Challenge: visitors use a step machine alongside a giant-sized soda cup. They will learn how long
it would take them to burn off the calories from a beverage selected from a variety of supersized portions
of sugar added drinks One hand crank machine will be available as well.
9. Relax to Win: visitors will pair up and wear headbands with electrodes that measure alpha and theta
waves which are produced by a calm, relaxed state of mind.
10. Relax Your Brain: a station where visitors will utilize biofeedback to practice relaxation.
11. Demonstration Kitchen for live demonstrations and video cooking segments.
12. Toddler Garden: for children 3 years and younger with a vegetable and fruit themed fantasy landscape.
This includes an obstacle course where children can crawl through a giant apple and slide down a celery
stalk.
13. Go Through Guts: a large crawl, slide, and climb through version of a digestive system, displayed near a
plastinated specimen of a real GI tract
