The SPARK Programs -A Solution to Childhood Obesity While overweight and obesity levels climb, the minutes children spend in physical education (PE) has decreased. SPARK is designed to maximize class activity time, without sacrificing learning. The SPARK team of educators and researchers have spent years creating the tools you need to succeed, and now they are available to you.
SPARK, Maximizing Outcomes: SPARK IS the “New PE.” SPARK classes are more inclusive, active, and fun. To date, more than 35 papers have proven that students who participate in SPARK PE demonstrated achievement in the following variables:
-Moderate to vigorous activity (above Healthy People Goals 2010 objective)
-Fitness
-Sport Skills
-Enjoyment of PE
-Academic Achievement (Yes, SPARK PE kids did as well or better on standardized tests despite 200-300% more time out of the classroom!)
-Activity Levels Away From School
