Get Them Moving

There is an epidemic of childhood obesity in this country, largely caused by student's sedentary lifestyles. Technology traditionally has been a major cause of the sedentary life style with the introduction of television, video games and the computer. However there is a new shift, technology is now becoming an exercise inhibiter. We are seeing interactive games such as the new Nintendo Wii and the Wii fit which appeals to almost anyone in the general population as well as games like dance dance revolution and exer-games. Some older technologies are being upgraded like Heart Rate monitors, accelerometer and pedometers and new technologies are emerging like the shoe dubbed "Square-eyes". There is continual improvement in the already established technology and a push for new and exciting ways to get people active. As a future physical educator it will be my job to incorporate these technologies that are available, in the classroom. In doing so, it will be my hope to appeal to a larger percentage of the student body that are not influenced by traditional ways of becoming active.
