Physical activity in children is important for a wide variety of reasons. It helps to reduce overweight and obesity, increases strength in muscles and bones and can even improve concentration at school. Exercise is a vital component of any child’s development—laying the foundations for a healthy life.
Helping to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Childhood obesity is a significant problem in the UK and across the globe.
Regular exercise combined with a healthy diet can help to reduce the likelihood of your child being overweight or obese.
If weight loss needs to occur, then exercise can reduce it in a healthy way.
Improves cardiovascular health. The heart is the most important muscle that gets exercised during physical activity. Regular exercise helps to reduce risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Assists in the development of gross and fine motor skills. Fine motor skills involve the refined use of the muscles in the hand, fingers and thumb important in writing, feeding oneself and buttoning a shirt.
Improves concentration and thinking skills
Studies have shown that exercising improves a child’s academic achievement. Exercise encourages your brain to work at maximum capacity by causing nerve cells to multiply, strengthening their interconnections and protecting them from damage. 
Boosts confidence and self-esteem.
 This may be related to exercise and its ability to boost mood, increase positivity and strengthen self-worth.
Why exercise makes our kids smarter
There are several hypothesized theories as to why exercise is beneficial for cognition. It is firstly believed to improve blood flow and oxygenation to our brains. It has also been shown to increase levels of noradrenaline and endorphins which help to reduce stress and improve mood. Lastly, exercise has been shown to create new nerve cells and improve communication between them.
Animal studies have found that when exercise is performed nerve cells release proteins known as neurotrophic factors.
 
One, referred to as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), triggers numerous other chemicals that promote the health of nerve cells – having a direct effect on brain health and subsequently learning.
   Why Is Exercise Important For Your Children 
Relieves stress and promotes relaxation.
 Exercise is a fantastic way to relieve stress and anxiety, as children can be affected by these problems. It can also improve sleep which is critical for a child’s overall health and wellbeing.
 
Footnote
Always remember that obesity is treatable and, given the number of children across the country and around the globe who have been diagnosed with overweight or obesity, you are certainly not alone in your fight against it.

While it will take dedication and patience to put into place and stick to a plan to help your child deal with and ultimately overcome obesity, it will pay off greatly in the long run, setting a course for a better, healthier future for your child.
