Movement for everyone! Austria's schools start a healthy project

Österreich - In a remarkable initiative, ORF has launched a new format to motivate school classes to integrate more movement into their everyday life. Behind the program entitled "We move Austria School" the goal is to promote the physical fitness and the mental health of the children. As [Kleinezeitung.at] (https://www.kleinezeitung.at/service/newsticker/kultur/19768737/orf-Formatsoll-schul-schul-schulklassen- zu- movement-motivated, the initiative focuses in particular on strengthening strength, skill, coordination and relaxation to support stress in school.

The movement units are led by the experienced sports teacher Karin Wildeder, who leads the children with expertise and commitment. An additional highlight of the format is the participation of the professional tennis player Nico Langmann, who will be a guest in five episodes. ORF general director Roland Weißmann emphasizes the importance of this initiative for a healthy lifestyle in childhood and youth.

positive effects of movement

The importance of regular exercise and a balanced diet cannot be assessed highly enough in education. According to [parentlebenle.de] (https://www.elternleben.de/gesundheit-ernaehrung/ents voltage-stresswerchung/ernaehrung-und- movement- against-stress/), an active lifestyle not only promotes health, but also self-confidence and the positive body awareness in children. In view of the challenges that children face today, the connection between body and spirit is of crucial importance in order to strengthen the children's resilience.

Short -term movement units, as they are also offered in the ORF program, can help to manage stress and improve the general quality of life. Peter McDonald from the Austrian Health Insurance Fund explains that short movement units can be extremely effective in order to increase concentration and well -being.

integration into everyday school life

The project manager of "We move Austria", Alexandra Fida, emphasizes that no special equipment or sports clothing is necessary for the exercises. This accessibility is crucial to achieve as many children as possible. The integration of movement into everyday school life is not only a step towards a more active lifestyle, but also a way to establish healthy habits early.

In summary, it can be said that initiatives such as "We move Austria School" play an important role in promoting a healthy lifestyle. As also explained on [Grundgesund.bzga.de] (https://grundgesund.bzga.de/fuer-fachkraefte/kinder-jugendgesundheit/kinder-in-zwegung/Mehr- movement-in-der-schule/), regular movement units in schools are a key to developing better and mastering the challenges of life self-confident.
