The Issue
The world is currently facing an epidemic of physical inactivity.
In the last fifty years the amount of exercise that children and adults participate in has steadily decreased, resulting in serious consequences.
KEY RESEARCH
The human body is designed to move, and there are significant links between physical inactivity and a wide range of diseases such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease and cancer. In fact, physical inactivity leads to around 37,000 premature deaths a year in the UK alone. Research has shown that just 51% of children reach the daily activity target for young people, this is indeed very worrying.
“All children and young people should engage in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes and up to several hours every day…Vigorous intensity activities, including those that strengthen muscle and bone, should be incorporated at least three days a week.”
