Putting Research into Motion

I will begin an afterschool CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Children's Health) Club in two weeks. I will be working with students that have BMI (Body Mass Index levels) that do not fall in the Healthy Fitness Zone. My goal is to engage them in fun, moderate to vigorous activities, learn about nutrition and have fun in the process. We will also be working together to reduce our BMI levels to reach a healthy fitness zone level. This is part of my research to connect health and physical activity to achievement scores. I am looking forward to working with the students.
