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.
