Jump Rope for Heart / Hoops for Heart
Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops
for Heart are sponsored by the Indiana
Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance
and the American Heart Association. These community service programs
have many benefits: increased physical activity, support of cardiovascular
research, and improved student learning. Click Here to read more about the benefits of rope
jumping.
Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops
for Heart aims to educate Hoosier
children and youth on the need for lifelong physical activity and
the awareness of health-related physical fitness. Click
here for the Pulse Newsletter. The funds collected are used
to support cardiovascular research and public education programs
conducted by the American Heart Association. In addition, participating
schools earn points to buy physical education equipment and health
education materials.
All Indiana teachers who participate in one or both of these
programs receive a complimentary one-year membership (upon submission
of membership form) from IAHPERD in
thanks for their support. In addition, Coordinators of Jump
Rope for Heart (JRFH) or Hoops
for Heart (HFH) events are able to request
funding for projects designed to enhance health, physical education,
recreation, and/or dance within the school and/or community setting.
