The Tri-Fit-A-Thon - Q & A
Q. Does it cost anything to participate in your TFAT program?A. No, it is free.
Q. Do I need to notify you if I participate?
A. It is not mandatory, but it would be nice to hear your success stories, or to see any press you generate.
Q. What are the advantages in having the children perform 3 exercises opposed to one exercise?
A. One simple exercise may be boring to children, while 3 exercises makes it more challenging, with a higher success rate. For example, if a child performs a push-up poorly, and has no luck on improving their score with a push-up, they will lose interest in doing a push-up in the future. If you mix in 2 more exercises with the push-up that the child performs better, the child can actually enhance their push-up score by doing the other 2 exercises better. This means if a child's push-up score never gets better, the other 2 exercises performed may get better, giving the individual child a higher 'total' score.
Q. Should TFAT be done only in a school?
A. No, it can be done anywhere, from a school to participating at home with parents.
