Iverson Park

Benefits of Snowshoeing Weight Management• Depending on how much you weigh, you can burn approximately 11 calories

per minute while snowshoe running. That's over 600 calories an hour!

Maintaining Muscle Strength• Snowshoe running uses all of the same muscles as running on dry land: the

quads, hamstrings, calf muscles and the smaller muscle groups of the feet and ankles. Snowshoeing has the added benefits of developing "negative" strength, or muscle strength that's required to work against the forces of gravity. Negative strength (also called "eccentric" muscle contraction) is helpful in sports like alpine skiing and tennis.

Reducing the Risk for Heart Disease• Snowshoe running is a great way to reduce your risk for heart disease.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for maintaining health and fitness, adults should get at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise within their target heart rate range most days of the week. Snowshoe running fits into the ACSM's definition of aerobic exercise activities and helps with lowering the bad type of cholesterol while raising the good type. Snowshoe running can also help manage your stress and blood pressure levels. http://www.trails.com/list_733_health-benefits-snowshoe-

Project Adventure Grant – Carol M. White Physical Education Program Grant Provided to support the good health of students http://www.pa.org/grants/pep_grant.php

New London Schools PEP Grant They received a PEP grant a couple years ago. “I do know our district hired a grant writer from cesa 6 to

write the grant for us.” “I believe we got something like $400,000 and divided it

up between all the schools. ” “We had to come up with the lists of stuff we wanted and

write out rationale about how the stuff would be used and why we needed it. ”

“We had to relate everything back to fitness standards and our curriculum. ”

“Once we got the grant we had a certain amount of time to spend grant and the government would do periodic checks and we had to document stuff. ”
