Nutri Lions…. An Olympic Legacy

The London Lions Basketball Team were the first professional sports team to move to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park following on from the 2012 games. They play their home games at the 7000 seater Copper Box Arena.

The Nutri Troops were founded by GB Volleyball Player Peter Bakare who represented Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Peter studied animation at Sheffield Hallam University and went on to write a script for Channel 4’s Skins.

London Lions and Nutri Troops came together to form the Nutri Lions a programme for schools to help encourage children to play basketball, have fun and eat more healthily.

Need for programme:

· Statistics from the National Child Measurement Programme show that almost 10% of four to five-year-olds in England are obese.

· Fat cells in the body, particularly in the tummy create inflammation which attacks the brain and arteries and that leads to diabetes, dementia even, depression and anxiety and cardiovascular diseases.

· Latest statistics from the National Child Measurement programme show that almost 10% of four to five-year-olds

in England are obese and by the time children leave primary school at 10-11 years old, that number has doubled to 20%.

· Obesity is much more prevalent in less affluent areas with a child from a deprived family more than twice as likely to be obese.

· Research shows some children are eating an extra 500 calories a day and the number of severely obese children, those with a BMI on or above the 99.6 percentile for a child’s age and sex, is the highest since records began.

Analysis:

· Government plan to get children active at least 60 minutes a day.

· 30 mins within school and 30 mins outside of school.
