Description
Please revise the power-point based on the professor’s feedback:- Hi Team! Looks like you all have a solid start to your presentation! Here are a few suggestions for your presentation: I would encourage you to reduce the number of words on some of your slides. – Keep your bullet points brief and let your narrative speak to the details. – Double check your in-text citations for APA formatting. There were some errors on your slides and some bullet points/data that are missing in-text citations. Also, double check your image citations for correct APA formatting. – It’s best to stay consistent with your formatting to make it easier for your audience to follow along. Double check for minor writing/punctuation errors. Make sure your reference slide is in APA formatting as well. – I would encourage you all to review the examples Dr. Garner included in the assignment’s instructions from previous A-level work from students. – That might be helpful to see a completed visual and hear the audio. Great start, team! Please let me know if you have any questions! – The presentations below provides you with an idea of good work by former students. Keep in mind that, although these are not perfect, overall the presentation is an example of “A” level work.

INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL-BASED
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAMS ON CHILDHOOD
OBESITY IN TEXAS
VICTORIA HERNANDEZ, COSETTE HODGES, STEPHEN JENNINGS
THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON
KINE2350: PUBLIC HEALTH: PRINCIPLES AND POPULATIONS
PROFESSOR REBECCA GARNER
FEBRUARY 06, 2024
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH
Growing Concern:
Childhood obesity impacts nearly 1 in 3 Texas children,
posing risks to their physical and mental health.
The PICOT Lens:
We explore the potential impact of school-based
physical activity programs on children aged 2-17 in
Texas (Klein et al., 2023) .
Our Research Question:
How does implementing a comprehensive schoolbased physical activity program affect childhood
obesity prevalence within a one-year timeframe?
Why It Matters:
Investing in children’s health through these programs
can combat obesity and enhance overall well-being,
academic performance, and energy levels.

INTRODUCTION TO CHILDHOOD OBESITY
What is Childhood Obesity?
• The CDC (2024) states that a common way to define kid obesity is by looking at their Body
Mass Index (BMI), which is determined by putting their weight and height together.
• When a child’s body mass index (BMI) is at or above the 95th percentile, it is considered
obese.
• This data is compared to kids of similar age and gender.

Benefits of Proper Nutrition in Children (Ages 2-17):
PROPER
NUTRITION
& PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
• Kids are less likely to become overweight if they eat healthily.
• Chronic obesity-related diseases are less likely to occur in those who eat
healthily.
• The cognitive function of youngsters is positively influenced by proper
eating (Texas Health Care, 2023).
• During childhood and adolescence, eating nutritious meals supports
healthy growth and development.
Benefits of Physical Activity (Ages 2-17):
• 60 minutes of regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight and avoid
obesity, as you burn more calories, increase muscle, and reduce fat.
• Physically active kids have greater balance, motor skills, and
coordination.
• Endorphins from exercise reduce anxiety, depression, and tension.
• Childhood exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases connected to
adult inactivity because active children are more likely to be active as
adults (Texas Health Care, 2023).
BACKGROUND ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Prevalence in
Texas:
•Childhood obesity is a significant issue,
with nearly 1 in 3 children affected,
according to recent data (within 5 years
old).
Health
Consequences:
•Childhood obesity is linked to various
negative health outcomes, including
cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes,
and psychological issues (CDC, 2023).
Landscape of
Programs:
•School-based physical activity programs
exist in Texas but face limitations such as
funding constraints, limited resources, and
varying implementation across schools.

ADDRESSING & COMBATTING
CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Contributing Factors:
• Child obesity in Texas is caused by a
combination of factors, such as improper
eating habits, lack of availability to healthy
food, and lack of physical activity.
Addressing Childhood Obesity:
• The state of Texas offers school-based
programs, nutrition instruction, and more
physical exercise opportunities to kids.
• In December 2022, the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act was put enacted to
provide children with nutritious meal for little
to no cost. Also providing meal to help children
combat for insecurities (USDA, 2022).

HOW THE LOWER
INCOME IS AT A
DISADVANTAGE
• Financial constraints limit access to healthy
foods, increasing childhood obesity in lowerincome families.
• Scarcity of recreational facilities in these
neighborhoods hinders regular physical activity
for children, exacerbating the risk of obesity.
• Limited educational resources on nutrition
impede informed decision-making, perpetuating
childhood obesity in lower-income families.

STATE ATTEMPT TO COMBAT THE
CHILDHOOD OBESITY CRISIS
Combatting Obesity in Texas Educational System:
• The Texas education system requires all schools from grades K-12
to provide education regarding physical health, ranging from
exercise to diet and hygiene.
Under the Texas Education Code Chapter 28:
• Every K-12 school district is mandated to include in its required
curriculum: health, focusing on proper nutrition, exercise, physical
and mental health.
• Including instruction on mental health conditions, substance abuse,
emotional management, positive relationships, responsible
decision-making, and suicide prevention, and physical education.
Under the Texas Education Code, Title 2, Subtitle G, Chapter 38,
specifically Subchapter C (Section 28.002(a)(2)(C))
• Schools are mandated to conduct an annual physical fitness
assessment for students in grade three or higher, enrolled in a
course meeting the physical education curriculum requirements.
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE TO PROMOTE HEALTH
The federal government has required states to utilize programs to help combat the rise in childhood obesity.
Community Health & Nutrition. Feeding Texas. (2021, October
5). https://www.feedingtexas.org/solutions/community-health-andnutrition/
Feeding Texas saw adults who participated
in SNAP education classes gain:
• Greater skills in selecting and cooking
healthy foods
• 22% increase in fruit consumption
• 24% increase in vegetable
consumption.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program):
• The Texas Health and Human Services offer
SNAP-ed.
• SNAP-ed is a service specifically for
educating lower-income families eligible for
SNAP about a fit lifestyle and a healthy
diet—partnering with local food banks.
POPULATION
•
Childhood obesity by definition tells us that the age
group affected is between the ages of 5 and 17 years of
age.
•
Studies show that the incidence of childhood obesity has
not changed in the past 20 years regardless of new
interventions and education provided in the schools.
•
Children of low socioeconomic backgrounds are at 15%
higher risk for obesity.
•
Since the early 2000’s the percentage of childhood
obesity has increased, and the onset is at an earlier age.
•
Incidence is higher amongst non- Hispanic Black
children, children from other races the incidence levels
remain the same (Cunningham et al., 2022)
Texas Department of State Health Services (Texas DSHS). (2021).

https://www.dshs.texas.gov/obesity-texas/obesity-data
As much as focusing on prevention
strategies to combat childhood
obesity, there are a number of
factors that influence obesity.
POPULATION
(CONTINUED)
If a child is stressed out or sad, they
may turn to food for comfort if there
is a lack of appropriate coping skills.
Incorporating this topic into the
educational programs at school may
change the mental health aspect of
overeating (diabetes.org, 2024).
OUTCOMES
The long-term outcomes of obesity at an early age may be several and unknown how
it will affect each individual child.
The causes for obesity can be many, including lack of exercise, genetics, stress
eating, maternal intake of unhealthy food, etc.
Regardless of the cause of obesity is, the outcomes are the same, obesity can
lead to chronic conditions such as Diabetes, Hypertension, and difficulty walking.
When kids are affected by these disease, they will have them for the rest of their
life unless the root case of the problem is addressed (Masood & Moorthy, 2023).
OUTCOMES (CONTINUED)
As a result of obesity
and the
development of
these chronic
conditions such as
Diabetes and
Hypertension
Loss of school days
may be necessary if
the child has an
exacerbation of the
disease and needs to
be hospitalized or
needs to be home
schooled for an
extended period of
time.
This snowball effect
can be detrimental
to the overall mental
health of not just the
child but the entire
family.
