The Kids Heart Challenge is based on rooted science that has shown that kids who are regularly active have a better chance of having a healthy adulthood, as well as improving physical health.
The benefits of physical activity for kids include better grades, school attendance, and classroom behavior. It can also help kids feel better, improve mental health, build self-esteem, and decrease and prevent conditions like anxiety and depression.
