ActiveB are health and fitness specialists in 4 areas:
Why Schools?
Optimising health though increased physical activity is high on the public health and wellbeing agenda, one of the main reasons being to due to the rise in obesity in the UK over the past ten years. Global studies continually state that there is a strong link between low activity levels and obesity. According to the Health Study of England (HSE) 2007 around 30% of children are now either over weight or obese. Only 70% of Boys and 63% of Girls are meeting the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) activity guidelines for health and fitness, with an even further decline in girls after the age of 9.
The Department of Health (DoH) suggest that girls aged 12 – 18 years are classed as a priority group due to personal, practical, social and cultural barriers to physical activity. However recent national studies of this population suggested that Dance is definatley growing in popularity with female students of this age group. With this in mind ActiveB have designed a whole range of dance and fitness services for girls aged 12 – 18 years, and their teachers to encourage increased participation in activities in and out of school.

Other studies show that if we catch children early and introduce them to fun, challenging yet acheivable actvities in their early development, they are much more likely to be motivated to be an active child and teenager. With this in mind ActiveB are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to get tots, children and teens moving. See our Masterclasses and Schools pages
