This is a time when children can establish the foundation for movement skills. these are also the years when positive learning experiences can help establish a positive attitude and appreciation for participating in regular, daily physical activity for life.

Why JUMP is so Important!

Heart disease ranks as this nation's N0. 1 killer; stroke is No. 3 and leading cause of serious disability. Every year, 1 million people die from cardiovascular disease and stroke. That`s 1 of every 2,5 deaths in the United States.

These diseases may remain critical problems in the future because of poor lifestyle habits among adults and children. For example, only one of 10 American participates in 30 minutes or more vigorous activity every day. In addition...

* Over 15% of children and adolescents are now overweight;

* 4 million children have above-normal blood pressure;

* 27 million children have high cholesterol

Healthy lifestyle can help prevent heart disease and stroke. Good nutrition, physical activity, staying tobacco free, and maintaining a healthy blood pressure and weight are all part of a healthy lifestyle. Jump Rope for Heart helps get this message across to students.
