Recreational
Sports as a Lifelong Activity
It is our belief that motivating and fun recreational activities promote an interest in physical fitness and increase life-long leisure time activity options. True physical fitness means optimal strength, dexterity, muscle tone, agility, aerobic conditioning, and weight control, all of which are targets of our sports agenda. Research has shown that a program of regular exercise results in improved long term health, including reductions in cardiovascular disease. Exercise requiring more complex routines may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and general cognitive decline. More complex motor activities which challenge the individual and require attention to task can lead to improved body awareness, sensory processing, and motor control. Proficiency in “typical” recreational activities can also lead to a more integrated life within the wider community during teen and adult years.
