The Growing Inactivity Epidemic

• Its no secret - we have a childhood obesity
  epidemic in the U.S
• In 2000, 15 of children and adolescents
  were overweight thats 3 times the
  proportion in 1980 (CDC)
• but did you know that one of the leading causes
  is actually an inactivity epidemic?

34
How Many Steps BMI Referenced Standards

• How much activity separates normal weight from
  overweight/obese children
• 12,000 steps for girls
• 15,000 steps for boys
• Converted to time
• 107 minutes for girls
• 137 minutes for boys

Brain Development

• Music, rhythm, repetitive practice of patterns
  using balance and eye-tracking are all powerful
  tools for physical and mental learning.
• Vanessa Sluming, University of Liverpool,
  2002, UK

38
Brain Development

• To improve our brains, we have to move our
  bodies Exercises involving learning a series of
  complex movements while coordinating ones
  balance have been proven to generate a greater
  number of connections between neurons. These
  connections make it easier for children of all
  ages to learn.

Brain Development

• Brain-compatible learning means that educators
  should weave math, movement, geography, social
  skills, role play, science, and recreational
  music making together.

Id rather see a sermon than hear one any day . .
. Id rather one should walk with me than merely
show the way. The eye is a better pupil and
more willing than the ear. Fine counsel is
confusing, but examples always clear.

I soon can learn to do it, if youll let me see

your tongue too fast may run. And the lectures
you deliver may be very fine and true, but Id
rather get a lesson by observing what you do.

Why Use Mats

• Simplifies instruction and increases learning by
  using numbers, directions, shapes, numbers,
  colors, or letters of the alphabet
• Allows for each individual to have own personal
  space focusing on their own learning
• Fitness mat is safer since it lowers impact

52
Ways to Teach GeoMotion

• Teacher / instructor led
• DVD provides instruction
• Audio CD provides instruction or music suggests
  the type of movement
• Task / learning cards
• Music usually promotes movement

53
GeoMat Learning Cards

• Cards show a right and left foot lead
• Right foot is shown in green - Left foot in blue
• Both feet are shown in red
• Beat Boxes - Each box represents 1 beat of music
  and participant performs moves from left to right
  (method adapted from Phyllis Weikart)
• Starting position is 5 unless stated otherwise
• Names of moves are often from geometrical shapes
  which help the participant associate and remember
  the movement

54

Dont QUIT

• When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when
  the road you are trudging seems all uphill
• When the funds are low and the debts are high and
  you want to laugh, but you have to cry.
• When life is pressing you down a bit, rest if you
  must, but please dont QUIT.

57
Dont QUIT

• Life is weird with its twists and turns as
  many of us sometimes learn.

58
Dont QUIT

• And many a failure turns about when you might
  have won had you stuck it out. So dont give up
  though the pace seems slow, you may succeed with
  another blow.

59
Dont QUIT

• Success is failure turned inside out the silver
  tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can
  tell how close you are. It may be near when it
  seems so far.

60
Dont QUIT

• So stick to the fight when you are hardest
  hitits when things seem worst that you must not
  QUIT!

• As Einstein so succinctly pointed out, Learning
  is experience. Everything else is just
  information.
• The cerebellum, the part of the brain previously
  associated with motor control only, is now known
  to be, as Eric Jensen, author of numerous books
  on brain-based learning, puts it, a virtual
  switchboard of cognitive activity.

• Thanks to advances in brain research, we now know
  that most of the brain is activated during
  physical activity much more so than when doing
  seatwork.
• In fact, according to Jensen, sitting for more
  than 10 minutes at a stretch reduces our
  awareness of physical and emotional sensations
  and increases fatigue. He tells us this results
  in reduced concentration and, most likely,
  discipline problems.
• Movement, on the other hand, increases blood
  vessels that allow for the delivery of oxygen,
  water, and glucose (brain food) to the brain.
  And this cant help but optimize the brains
  performance!

• one Canadian study showed academic scores went
  up when a third of the school day was devoted to
  physical education. a Canadian study
  demonstrated children participating in five hours
  of vigorous physical activity a week had stronger
  academic performance in math, English, natural
  sciences, and French than did children with only
  two hours of physical activity per week.
• a study of third-grade children participating
  in dance activities improved their reading skills
  by 13 percent over six months, while their peers,
  who were sedentary, showed a decrease of two
  percent.

• in France, children who spent eight hours a
  week in physical education demonstrated better
  academic performance, greater independence, and
  more maturity than students with only 40 minutes
  of PE a week.
• children who participate in daily physical
  education have been shown to perform better
  academically and to have a better attitude toward
  school. a study conducted by neurophysiologist
  Carla Hannaford determined that children who
  spent an extra hour a day exercising did better
  on exams than students who didnt exercise.
• recent research demonstrates a direct link
  between fitness and intelligence, particularly in
  children under 16 and in the elderly.

• physical, social, emotional, and cognitive
  simply do not mature separately from one another.
  Theres an overlap and interrelatedness among
  them. And children do not differentiate among
  thinking, feeling, and moving. Thus, when a child
  learns something related to one domain, it
  impacts the others.
• Research shows that movement is the young childs
  preferred mode of learning because they best
  understand concepts when theyre physically
  experienced. For example, children need to get
  high and low, small and large, wide and narrow
  shapes to truly understand these quantitative
  concepts. They need to act out simple computation
  problems (demonstrating the nursery rhyme Three
  Little Monkeys to discover three minus one
  equals two) to comprehend subtraction. They have
  to take on the straight and curving lines of the
  letters of the alphabet to fully grasp the way in
  which the letters should be printed.

• Carla Hannaford, in Smart Moves Why Learning Is
  Not All in Your Head, states, We have spent
  years and resources struggling to teach people to
  learn, and yet the standardized achievement test
  scores go down and illiteracy rises. Could it be
  that one of the key elements weve been missing
  is simply movement?

  chemicals that calm behavior and elevates self
  esteem and self worth and accommodates ADD/ADHD
  (Jensen)
• Exercise triggers BDNF that increases neuronal

• Exercise has the same effect and benefit as
  anti-depressant medications (Ratey)
