Why is physical activity important for young children? Regular physical activity is important for children as they grow and develop. Making physical activity a priority and encouraging good habits in young children (from birth to five years old) can help them to develop the skills (like jumping, catching and kicking) they need to continue being active throughout their lives. Children that are not physically active enough will not have the chance to adequately develop these skills and good habits and so are at increased risk of becoming overweight or obese. This makes it even harder for them to be active and keep up with others, either in sport or in play. Long term, being overweight or obese can contribute to conditions such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, Type II diabetes and liver disease. Recent research has shown that warning signs for these conditions can be present in overweight teenagers as young as fifteen. Young kids need at least 3 hours of physical activity every day Find out more www.goodforkids.nsw.gov.au AREA HEALTH SERVICE I Move We Move, The Guide Edition 1 August 2009 AREA HEALTH SERVICE 2.16
