PY - 2013 T2 - Meeting the Physical Therapy Needs of Children AB - National health initiatives have become focused on the promotion of healthy living as a best practices method to reduce risk factors for disease. These efforts have emphasized an increase in physical activity (PA) and fitness as key methods to reduce risk, especially for overweight and obesity (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2008, 2010a; Department of Health and Human Services, 2007; Floriani & Kennedy, 2007; Fox, 2004; Goran & Treuth, 2001; Hills, King, & Armstrong, 2007; Nowicki & Flodmark, 2007; Sothern, 2004; Steinbeck, 2001). As a result, children are encouraged to become involved in PA or recreational and sport activities at a much younger age. SN - PB - F. A.
