America has been known for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and many other health issues. Now, this all may be true, it doesn’t mean that there will be no change.

Some schools lack space and are small in size, engendering schools to abstain playgrounds or gyms for students to be active. This is generated, since schools lack money, and cannot

Although this may seem obvious, there is a much bigger issue within it. According to Brett Klika, author of several articles on ACE fitness,” Youngsters create the biomechanics and neural ability to move efficiently through the “plastic” process of maturation and development. “Plastic” refers to the pliable relationship of brain development that allows for the formation of new skills, and an enriching environment that allows for the initiation, practice and progression of these new skills. A child’s physical abilities are always “molding” to this relationship of brain development and interaction with the environment. Brain development allows the opportunity to perform more physical skills and performing these physical skills allows for accelerated brain development. When children aren’t provided the opportunity to learn and practice a wide variety of physical skills at a young age, physical development can become
