In this 15-minute video, Paul Zientarski discussed how quality, daily physical education in schools not only reduces obesity among our children, but improves academic performance. With more than 40 years in the field of education, Zientarski has created a highly successful program called Learning Readiness Physical Education (LRPE) at Naperville Central High School. The program has produced such dramatic improvements in test scores, behavior and childhood obesity that it has inspired adoption in school districts across the country and around the world, including Denmark, China, South Korea, and Canada. His program has been highlighted on major TV networks and featured in documentary films. Zientarski shares his educational philosophy and programs with audiences nationwide, including the President’s Council on Health, Fitness and Nutrition in Washington, D.C.
