Answer preview
Many children in the country are becoming overweight and obese. Such outcomes jeopardize their health and well-being, threatening their future. Educators can play a pivotal role in preventing such outcomes. They can do this by integrating health, fitness, exercise, and knowledge-based activities in the classroom. These activities have numerous physical health benefits for children, including improving lung and heart condition; increasing endurance and muscular strength; better coordination, flexibility, and agility; and enhanced spatial awareness and balance. This presentation has identified several classroom physical and academic activities that fourth-grade educators should consider integrating into their classrooms.
