help describe the impact programs such as the Fitness Club (FC) have on the life long PA habits of children.
In addition, the FC is a new program created by a school organization to address the problems of childhood obesity and sedentary lifestyles. The aim is to increase children‟s PA levels by helping them gain the necessary skills and confidence to live a healthy lifestyle. A significant amount of funding goes into the FC each year, and the current study could help administrators determine if the funds are being used effectively or if a different program may be more efficient at addressing childhood obesity and physical inactivity. The current study will be used to identify the strengths of the FC and will provide insights into the areas in which improvement can be made. Refer to Appendix A for more information on the FC program.
