| Abstract | The obesity crisis in America is ubiquitous and irrefutable, and it's hitting youth so hard that health experts warn that this generation of children will be the first to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. Tackling and reversing this epidemic will require a comprehensive and sustained effort in every community in America. The nation's growing network of afterschool providers can make a significant contribution to this battle. Afterschool programs can provide physical activity and nutrition education, healthy snacks and a safe place to play and socialize in the hours after school. This report highlights the following: (1) Childhood obesity is a growing epidemic; (2) The health and economic costs are astounding; (3) Children are not getting enough physical activity and have unhealthy eating habits; (4) Afterschool programs can help combat the epidemic of childhood obesity; and (5) Afterschool program models in practice. This report concludes that Afterschool programs can help combat the epidemic of childhood obesity. Additionally, before- and after- school programs will also help decrease child obesity, expand physical activity, and increase parent and community involvement in schools. (ERIC). |
