At the start of the pandemic, my son switched to online school, and the community park was blocked off with bright-yellow caution tape. Despite knowing the risk of sedentary behavior and decreased physical activity, we found our kids were less likely to engage in free play without friends, parks and school.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The rate of increase in body mass index (BMI) in children 2-19 years of age nearly doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to pre-pandemic rates. This faster increase in BMI was most pronounced in children who were already overweight, and in younger school-aged children. The number of children and teens <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/obesity\/data\/children-obesity-COVID-19.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">classified as obese<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> increased from 19% pre-pandemic to 22% at the time of publication.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The COVID-19 pandemic shut down schools, sports, after-school programs and community parks. In addition to disruptions in physical activity opportunities, there was also loss of income, increased food insecurity, increased stress and increased screen time. Despite the return of school and community-based programs, sports participation has not rebounded back to pre-pandemic levels. BMI changes during the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the importance schools play in the health of our children and the community.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/acsm.org\/docs\/default-source\/files-for-resource-library\/activity-guidelines-for-school-age-children.pdf?sfvrsn=779fbc30_2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9867\" src=\"https:\/\/americanfitnessindex.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Activity Guidelines for School-Age Children Infographic\" width=\"350\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acsmsoftware.com\/afitesttest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/acsmsoftware.com\/afitesttest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/acsmsoftware.com\/afitesttest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acsmsoftware.com\/afitesttest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/acsmsoftware.com\/afitesttest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/acsmsoftware.com\/afitesttest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Activity-Guidelines-for-School-Age-Children-scaled.jpg 1978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>Physically active children have lower rates of obesity in childhood, and a lower risk of obesity and chronic medical conditions in adulthood.
