By taking action to increase physical activity and reduce obesity amongst our youth, we can improve academic performance, decrease medical costs and save lives, said Congressman Wamp during a House Education and Labor Committee hearing. Zach and Congressman Ron Kind of Wisconsin testified on their bill, the FIT Kids Act, to improve PE in schools and bolster efforts to fight childhood obesity. Research shows that healthy children learn more effectively and achieve more academically. The FIT Kids Act is a bipartisan bill that has the support of more than forty combined health, education and physical activity organizations.
