Children's Running Clinic

Today was the launch of the Cold Storage Kids Run and I conducted the running clinic for the children. From the smiles on their faces and excited voices, I would say they had fun. Contrary to what most would think, physical activity is very important for children. Not only does it improve their movement skills, when a well designed movement and play curriculum, it will also help to develop children's executive brain function and cognitive processing skills. In addition, an active child tends to grow up to be more active adults which is important for healthy living in the long term. So parents, kids' play is more than just meets the eye.
