“We know exercise is critical to developing kids’ bodies and brains. Getting kids moving more has many positive health benefits, and it also improves student performance,” said Larry Tubb, Senior Vice President of Cook Children’s.

Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) February 04, 2015 -- Cook Children’s and GoNoodle announced an expansion of their partnership today to bring GoNoodle’s in-classroom physical activity breaks to an additional 283 elementary schools in Denton, Hood, Johnson, Parker, Wise and Tarrant Counties through the 2016/17 school year. This expanded alliance marks availability of GoNoodle in all 533 public elementary schools across Cook Children’s six-county service region, increasing physical activity for more than 300,000 students. An online suite of interactive physical activity breaks, or “brain breaks," GoNoodle helps teachers engage and motivate students with 3-5 minute moderate to vigorous exercises they can perform next to their desks.

In August 2013 Cook Children’s began sponsoring GoNoodle for 250 schools in Tarrant County — including Fort Worth, Arlington and Keller ISDs. Over 2,200 Fort Worth teachers are already using GoNoodle, delivering more than 1 million minutes of in-classroom physical activity each month. Based on this success, Cook Children’s is now making GoNoodle available free of charge to more than 13,000 teachers.

“We know exercise is critical to developing kids’ bodies and brains. Getting kids moving more has many positive health benefits, and it also improves student performance,” said Larry Tubb, Senior Vice President of Cook Children’s. “Based on feedback from area teachers and the millions of physical activity minutes that GoNoodle has already delivered to Fort Worth students, it just makes sense to expand our support to include every elementary school in the communities that Cook Children’s serves.”

“Together with Cook Children’s, we have kids moving during school like never before” said Scott McQuigg, CEO and co-founder of GoNoodle. “This expansion demonstrates Cook Children’s collaborative spirit in partnering with even more schools and teachers to support the development of the whole child."

Research shows that short bursts of physical activity have positive health benefits and also lead to improved student performance. However, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control, only one-quarter of youth meet the current recommendation of at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day. By being more active in the classroom, Fort Worth-area elementary students will improve their overall health while also developing faster cognitive processing, increasing their focus and improving their academic performance.

Fort Worth-area teachers now have access to dozens of online physical activity breaks, including exclusive GoNoodle breaks that are part of GoNoodle Plus (premium version), which bring movement and core-subjects together to develop fluency in grade-specific math and ELA topics. These short “brain breaks” incorporate kinesthetic and active learning principles by closely tying movement with core content. Both energizing and calming physical activity breaks are available to help teachers channel kids’ energy for good while incorporating math, spelling and vocabulary. To use GoNoodle, teachers need to have a computer with an Internet connection and a shared screen such as a projector or interactive white board. Fort Worth-area teachers can access GoNoodle for at no cost by signing up at http://www.gonoodle.com.
