Document Summary

Part 1: preschool cardiovascular physiology: cardiac output (q) amount of blood pumped out of left ventricle in 1 minute i. e. q = Higher heart rate = decreased amount of time they can exercise time.

Ideas to get preschoolers active: needs to be developmentally appropriate, yoga, obstacle courses, climbing and negotiating playground equipment. Screen time may start to be expected link what we have said about vocabulary and need for parents to speak to their children vs. focusing on a screen: 10-13 hours of sleep which may include a nap.
