Picard Center Analyzes Fitness and Academic Data on La. Students
Posted: at 4:17 am
Students with cardiovascular fitness tend to score higher on standardized academic tests, according to a recent health report released by the Picard Center for Child Development and Lifelong Learning at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The report notes that students with cardiovascular fitness may score up to 5% higher on standardized tests than children who are classified as unfit (average of 16 points higher in English Language Arts and average of 19 points higher in Math).
More than 100,000 schoolchildren from approximately 300 schools and 18 districts across Louisiana participated in health-related fitness assessments during the 2010-11 school year. (Of this sample, more than 78,000 records were used in the statewide fitness data analysis, and more than 19,000 student records were used in the fitness-academic data analysis.)
Students participated in five fitness subtests, each measuring a different quality of fitness, such as aerobic capacity, muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility. Additionally, Body Mass Index (BMI) data were gathered from students, which is a measurement of a student's weight in relation to their height and serves as an indicator of an individual's risk for certain chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and Type 2 diabetes.
In its analysis of cardiovascular fitness and academic performance, Picard researchers included students who completed a scored aerobic capacity assessment (ages 10 and above) and had LEAP or iLEAP scores (grades 3-9). This sample included more than 19,000 students.
Of this sample:
Students who passed the cardiovascular fitness assessment scored an average of 16 points higher on the 2011 English-Language (ELA) portion of the state standardized tests. (326 for students who passed cardio test vs. 310 for students who did not).
Students who passed the cardiovascular fitness assessment scored an average of 19 points higher on the 2011 Math portion of the state standardized tests. (334 for students who passed cardio test vs. 315 score for students who did not).
These findings are comparable to similar studies in other states, such as the Texas Youth Fitness Study and the California Physical Fitness Test.
"Based on these findings, the results suggest there are statistically significant differences in children who are aerobically fit and those who are not. This translates into real academic gains for students as well as potentially positive health outcomes," notes Dr. Holly Howat, co-principal investigator for Coordinated School Health.
"Fitness assessment is one part of many components of strategies to prevent childhood obesity in that it connects the schools' efforts with parental/community involvement. Teachers can assess their curriculum while parents are invited to learn more about their child's fitness in an effort to collectively prevent childhood obesity," said Dr. Joan Landry, physical health research project director.

Three Retirement Strategies for Self-Employed Workers
Posted: at 4:17 am
Many self-employed workers focus on retirement savings strategies that will give them an immediate tax advantage, but they may overlook opportunities to maximize investment returns over time.

Strategy #1: Set Up a Solo 401(k) Plan
If you own your own business or are self-employed, one strategy that can make the most of your long-term savings this tax year and beyond it to set up a Solo 401(k).
Under new Solo 401(k) rules for 2012, you can contribute up to $50,000 this year or $55,500 if you're 50 or older. A couple working in a business together could put in up to $100,000 for retirement (up to $111,000 if both are over 50)!
Part of that savings is a salary deferraljust like a regular or Roth 401(k)with a maximum contribution of up to $17,000. The other portion comes from profit-sharing, allowing you to add up to 25 percent more to your nest egg, up to $50,000 (or, if you're 50 or older, $55,500). That second part cannot be made as a Roth 401(k).
But Susan John, chair of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, suggests if you can set up a Roth 401(k) for the salary deferral portion, definitely take advantage of it.
"It's an opportunity to build a stream of tax-free income for the future that will never, ever be taxable. Even though you don't get the deduction right now, it's probably the most important contribution that a person can make," John advises.
Strategy #2: Open a Health Savings Account
Opt for a high deductible health plan and open a Health Savings Account or HSA. The money you put in a HSA is tax-deductible and the money can be taken out of the account tax-free for qualified medical, dental and vision expenses. Any money you don't use can be invested and gains are tax-deferred.
