The results of these studies indicate a need to place emphasis within elementary and middle schools on health and physical activity to reduce the long-term risks of CVD.We must help each other especially ourselves in finding ways to increase physical activity in and out for us to prevent ourselves in reducing long-term cardiovascular disease risk..
SIGNIFICANCE:
The components of the CVD program benefit teenagers from acquiring CVD at a very young age.To determine the development and prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in youths..To test interventions to reduce this risk factors and improve hearth health for young people.To predict youths at risk for CVD related to sedentary lifestyles.To preempt the eraly stage of CVD, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions, providing health benefits throughout adulthood.And, to personalize strategies youths to stay active and develop healty-heart habits.
