With our consulting services and digital resources, we work with school leaders and teachers to ensure that students engage in developmentally-appropriate physical activity on a regular basis, no matter what resources may be available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1620869065016-CWL29JVNJ5GXYP1QVKKM/unsplash-image-7mDu7zT0JVs.jpg Home - Support for Communities Change happens within the context of a larger community.

With our consulting services, we provide planning and guidance to schools by helping teachers and support staff develop and deliver evidence-based physical activity lessons tailored to the school’s unique environment. We use a variety of in-person and digital resources which support teachers in providing students with opportunities to be physically active. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1620882853324-9GHNWXR9ZX6EINA5Q6U0/children+fitness+assessment.jpg School - Student Physical Fitness Assessments Students are fueled by fitness - children with higher levels of physical fitness have better results in the classroom. With our fitness assessment program, we help schools conduct bi-annual fitness assessments for all classes during physical education. Our staff are trained in evidence-based assessments, and teachers receive a detailed ‘report card’ for each student that can be sent home to share with parents. School administrators receive detailed student reports to assist with state mandate reporting requirements. We strive to make fitness assessments fun and educational for students and teachers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1617385144276-LGA13M8ML6K0C7KRUC7U/unsplash-image-OyCl7Y4y0Bk.jpg School - Resources for Teachers COMING SOON: Visit our free online library of physical education lessons and classroom physical activity breaks. https://www.aimtoplay.com/sports daily 0.75 2021-04-02 https://www.aimtoplay.com/community daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1620885318060-XBMTGK4HX2018BFL0ATM/consulting+pic+use.jpg Community - Consulting Services We strive to promote the health and well-being of all children within our communities.

We conducted a research study where elementary school students engaged in HIIT circuits (i.e. rotating activity stations of light- to vigorous-intensity activities) for the first 15 minutes of their PE class. We concluded that students who performed these HIIT circuits were more active during PE and improved their cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, more so than traditional PE activities. The students and PE teacher also enjoyed the program! Learn more about this research here: High-Intensity Heart Rate Training Program Accelerates Student Fitness (ihtusa.com) Through ours and other’s promising research, we help educators incorporate these evidence-based HIIT circuits as part of their comprehensive physical activity plan! https://www.aimtoplay.com/donate daily 0.75 2021-05-14 https://www.aimtoplay.com/donate-1 daily 0.75 2021-05-13 https://www.aimtoplay.com/community-program-evaluations daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1620961198844-ORG79JUF6E8QDPLXYFSO/unsplash-image-j9jZSqfH5YI.jpg Community Program Evaluations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1620961533590-MFHJ02U55SQSAWF7IYTU/unsplash-image-XBDHmIXvsvM.jpg Community Program Evaluations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1620961093878-S7IFYW6EZULQ67MIGGYB/unsplash-image-Zyx1bK9mqmA.jpg Community Program Evaluations https://www.aimtoplay.com/our-partners daily 0.75 2023-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1623972072120-Z7ALUSDZ0PC36LLM33TM/river+road+logo.jpg Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1623972097404-3FZ5OBYFEZ1K0FNZMLA2/healthy+moves+logo.jpg Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60626ebe93ed3c0258208101/1623971569160-2C0K4382ZVJESAFDCLA1/river+road.jpg Our Partners - River Road Park and Recreation District Located in Eugene, Oregon, River Road Park and Recreation District provides a variety of youth programming including gymnastics, swim lessons, and summer camps for all ages.
