Youth Access Program
Encouraging physical fitness for our youth does so much more than help with strength and endurance.
Being physically active means moving enough to breathe heavily, be short of breath, feel warm, and sweat. Exercise is vital to the health and well-being of children. Physical activity helps build and maintains healthy bones, muscles, and joints, for example. It can help keep a healthy body mass index and reduce the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease later in life. It can help children fall asleep quickly and sleep more soundly.
Beyond benefits to the body, physical activity also boosts a child's emotional and behavioural health. It increases a child's enthusiasm and optimism and boosts self-esteem, school performance, attention and behaviour. It also reduces anxiety, tension and depression. It models teamwork and friendship when it's part of an organized sport.
