AFL Toyota Premiership 2011

As an Australian icon, the AFL understands the importance of an active Australia and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among not only those who play the game, but more importantly young Australians. In a climate of increasing concern regarding the financial and social impact of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and certain cancers, the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are far reaching. Queensland researchers have recommended that interventions to promote nutrition, physical activity and healthy weight must begin early in life to help parents and carers raise healthy children and young people (Abbott et al, 2008). Schools and teachers can play a significant role in this project when they are provided with support and resources that facilitate the integration of daily physical activity into the learning experiences of their classrooms. AFL Queensland has designed the FUNdamental Movers resource to assist teachers in their endeavours to promote the health and well-being of young people.
