Healthy Youth Sports Making InPACT in the Classroom
In this special episode, we’re joined by three dynamic guests to explore how the InPACT (Interrupting Prolonged Sitting with Activity) program is transforming the school day—and student outcomes—through simple, effective movement breaks.
🎙 Dr. Rebecca Hasson, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and Director of the Childhood Disparities Research Lab, shares the research and equity-driven foundation behind InPACT. 🏫 Principal Heidi Roy-Borland of Whitmore Lake Elementary discusses how her school embraced a culture of wellness that supports both health and academic success. 👟 Aimee Taylor, PE teacher and wellness champion, offers a frontline perspective on how movement is energizing students beyond the classroom.
You’ll hear how this research-backed, classroom-friendly program is improving attention, behavior, and student engagement—especially in under-resourced communities. From daily classroom routines to statewide adoption plans, this episode provides a 360-degree look at how schools are using movement to drive equity and excellence.
Whether you're an educator, parent, or policymaker, this is your inside look at how small movement breaks can spark lifelong habits and healthier school cultures.
