Spark: by John J. Ratey MD
The Revolutionary New Science of
     Exercise and the Brain

  Help Beat Stress
  Sharpen Thinking
  Enhance Memory
  Supercharge Mental Circuts
What is it?


 Groundbreaking exploration of the connection
  between exercise and the brain’s performance
 Proving that exercise improves our ability to
  learn and in fact makes us SMARTER!
 Getting our heart rate up to 65% to 75% for 20
  minutes increases brain power and attention.
What is it?


 Incorporate daily exercise into your school day.

 Evolving PE from the old to new.

 Activity stations with jump ropes, arobic steps, running
  outside, treadmills, eliptical, use your imagination
 A way to increase test scores and kids attention in school
Why do we need this
                    intervention?
 65% of our nations adults are obese (Spark)

 30% of U.S. schoolchildren are overweight – six times more than 1980
   and another 30% are on the cusp (Spark)
                                                  97% of the Freshman in 01 and 02
 10% have type 2 Diabetes (Spark)                were at a healthy weight according
                                                  to their BMI in Naperville, IL.
 Students in grades 3-12 spend an average over six hours plugged in to
   some type of media each day. (www.edutopia.org 2009)
 Take a look at P.E. classes now there is a lot of inactivity

 Less than 3% of adults over the age of 24 stay in shape through playing
   team sports.   (Phil Lawler)
Why do we need this
               intervention?

 10,000 hours playing video games

 200,000 emails and instant messages

 20,000 hours of watching T.V.

 500,000 commercials seen

 At the very most 5,000 hours book reading

                         In there Lifetime…..

                                  NO
Why do we need this
    intervention?


They will do this before
   leaving for College!

What if…

 52 million children from K – 12 who
attend public and private schools in the
 U.S. Just think if all of them had the
  benefit of Naperville-style physical
education, our next generation of adults
would be healthier, happier, and smarter.
