Childhood obesity is a term that until recently was seldom used in Australia. But with changes to our lifestyles, diet and society, Australian Government statistics show an alarming increase in the number of Australian children who are now classified as obese.

  • An estimated 1.5 million or 20-25% of children under the age of 18 are considered overweight or obese
  • Children are getting less aerobic exercise; the level of aerobic fitness is decreasing by about .4% a year
  • If weight gain continues at the rate seen in recent years, by the year 2020, 80% of all Australian adults and one third of all children will be overweight or obese
  • 50% of obese adolescents continue to be obese as adults

Childhood obesity is linked to many health risks such as;

  • High blood pressure
  • High blood cholesterol
  • Low self esteem
  • Psychological stresses e.g., depression
  • Increased risk of heart disease
  • Increased risk of gall bladder disease
  • Arthritis
  • Some cancers e.g., breast cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer
  • Shorter lifespan
  • Asthma
  • Muscular-skeletal problems

Bring your children in today for an assessment and a trial to show them that fitness can be fun and effective at the same time.
