Outdoor Fitness Equipment for Schools & Universities For a Limited Time Get the NEW Ninja Training Ground FREE with purchase of Ninja Course 5 Skip to content Schools & Universities Educational institutions are pivotal in fostering a foundation of physical health and activity. We supply robust outdoor fitness installations that support physical education programs for schools and encourage college students to exercise between classes.
Fostering Health & Wellness Teaching young people how to exercise goes a long way in building healthy habits and giving people the confidence to work out independently as they get older. As of 2018, the CDC found that nearly 1 in 5 children (19. 3%) aged 2-19 have obesity and more than 2 in 5 adults (42.
4%) have obesity. Therefore, finding equitable ways to build fitness into schedules and helping youth and young adults enjoy their exercise is important in building a healthy society. As great as the sports commonly played in P.
E. classes are, they typically require a group, which is not feasible for many hoping to stretch their legs on their own time, especially as they grow older. Benefits of Outdoor Fitness In addition to a plethora of long and short-term physical benefits from exercise, the CDC states that for youth, physical activity can reduce the risk of depression and bolster academic performance through improving attention and memory.
Studies have found that just a few minutes of working out can improve cognitive abilities, mood, and stress management. Therefore, even a brief workout between classes could benefit students. Joint-Use Site: Faculty & Students Strategically placing outdoor fitness equipment in highly trafficked areas can help students fit exercise into their daily routine.
For instance, UCLA placed Greenfields units near their student housing so workout opportunities are readily accessible to those living on campus. Meanwhile, the University of Miami placed their Greenfields installation next to an intramural field so athletes can use the equipment to warm up for games.
A Multitude of Customization Options Many schools and universities have taken advantage of Greenfields’ custom-color options to showcase their school spirit, such as Wichita State University, which chose to install green and black equipment to match their school colors. Other schools have personalized the selection of units in their packages, or even modified the units themselves.
One example of this is Woodcreek Middle School, which chose to not just customize the color of their Ninja Course, but also increase the height of the Finish Wall to amplify its challenge and add Step-Up Clamps to make it easier for students to reach the hanging obstacles.
“It really meets all of the student population versus kids who can just put a ball through a basket, or kids who can catch a football, or kids who can throw a baseball. This really allows all of our students to come out and participate in and be a part of who we are. And that’s the ticket: to feel like they belong somewhere… Believe it or not, big kids — they still want to be kids.
Sometimes, the days are really challenging and a little stress relief is pretty good, and I think that’s what the playground does for those kids as well. It gives them a chance to run and be excited about movement.
” Albert Aragon, Principal at Valencia High School, Los Lunas, NM “Fitness centers indoors that require free weights, plates, dumbbells, moving parts; this is very difficult from a safety issue, supervision issue, and also cost… I finally came across Greenfields fitness centers outside, which we’ve put in two so far in our district and we’re in the process of putting in more.
Placing these fitness centers in middle school, you still have a chance to change behaviors and attitudes towards overall health… In terms of capturing kids at a younger age and developing those skills and habits to address their fitness, middle school is a really crucial component due to still having kids with a lot of energy, a lot of drive to want to try new things, and it definitely increases participation levels.
” Todd Harvey, Physical Education Teacher, Santa Ana School District, CA “We thought it was very fitting for our campus population. And putting that adjacent to the track, then it would be something that’s accessible to our student population, faculty and staff and the Starkville community.
