CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION

The use of sport, fitness, and nutrition to combat childhood obesity

WPSM is passionate about preventing childhood obesity, understanding that every child and young adult deserves a healthy start in life. By partnering with organizations that share our mission, we aspire to build bridges within our community, creating a network of support that empowers the next generation to thrive through proper nutrition, sports, and fitness.

We believe that sport and education are the cornerstones of health. By guiding children toward nutritious food choices and engaging them in enjoyable physical activities, we help them establish a foundation for a lifetime of health and confidence. The knowledge they gain today will shape their future and encourage them to avoid unhealthy habits that can impact their lives for years to come.

To support this mission, we offer a variety of enriching programs, including fitness camps, special sporting events, and sponsorship initiatives tailored for children and young adults. These initiatives not only promote physical activity but also educate participants on the importance of healthy eating and maintaining an active lifestyle.

LET’S TALK

The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing in America, impacting children's mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

Obesity is characterized by having a body mass that falls at or above the 95th percentile of the CDC sex-specific growth charts.

One in five children are overweight or obese.

Only 21% of children and youth in the United States, aged 6-17, meet the recommended guideline of engaging in at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily.

At WPSM, our focus is on preventing childhood obesity through education on nutrition, fitness, and promoting an active lifestyle. By incorporating these essential elements, we aim to build a path towards a healthier future for generations to come.
