2 of 3 Kids Unfit, Reports California Fitness Exams
Carpinteria, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2006
The International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) announced a solution today to the poor physical fitness scores of California students. This resolution is in response to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell’s 2005 announcement (http://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr05/yr05rel146.asp) that less than 30% of students tested actually passed the basic fitness levels required of students in the Golden state.
Of the six fitness areas tested, Aerobic Capacity has proven to be the most important area — recent research associates good aerobic capacity with a reduction in many health problems. Unfortunately, it made the poor showing. A breakdown of results for each fitness area showed that only about half (56 percent) of the students tested met the minimum standard for aerobic capacity — which is immediately improved upon by simply going outside for a walk, bike ride, or playing catch.
The other five testing criteria for fitness include Abdominal Strength and Endurance, Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility, Upper Body Strength and Endurance, Flexibility, and a Body Composition test as measured by a skinfold test and Body Mass Index.
“It really isn’t that difficult,” reported Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and founder of the International Sports Sciences Association, a leading fitness education company based in Carpinteria, Ca. “If parents cut TV and video game playing to a household minimum and put good healthy snacks in the house — removing foods that are high in fat and sugar, everyone would be better off, parents included.”
“It starts in the home. With an increase in TV watching, kids are bombarded with advertising for the hottest video game and the new fat-producing snack. Parents need to be educated on good health habits, not only for their kids, but for their own health and wellness,” Dr. Arria said. Those health habits include not only sound nutrition, but also a healthy dose of physical activity, be it participation in sports, daily walks, or even doing jumping jacks during commercial breaks.
The ISSA also provides fitness education for families that want to increase their own awareness of health and fitness concepts to create extraordinary results and enhance the quality of life for their families.

Many police jurisdictions in California have their own websites that you can look at to determine specific standards for the locality. For example, if you were interested in Los Angeles you could go to http://www.joinlapd.com/qualifications.html. Other cities have similar sites. The POST web site with its list of minimum standards and other important information can be found at www.post.ca.gov
Average Salary For Police Officers, Deputy Sheriff’s And Highway Patrol in California
According to the United States Bureau of labor statistics, a police officer/deputy sheriff in the state of California make between $60,000-$79,000 per year. However the data collected by BLS is a little misleading since it does not include overtime pay, special assignment pay and of course off duty work paid by a third party.
If overtime pay was included in the projected salary range of a police officer in the data collected by BLS. It is very likely that the base pay would be 100k. The truth is police officers in CA have the potential to make six figures if they are motivated to pick up extra shifts and work off duty details like in a bar, bank or a security conscious type of environment.
