UK KIDS NEED TO GET MOVING
New figures show levels of daily movement are far too low
The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey, recently released by Sport England, has shown that fewer than half of children are meeting the Chief Medical Officers’ guidelines of taking part in an average of 60 minutes or more of sports and physical activity a day.
The new research also showed that inequalities remain in regard to activity and ethnicity, with black and Asian children less likely to play sport, and girls less likely to be active than boys.
Ali Oliver MBE, the Youth Sport Trust Chief Executive said: “This new release from Sport England shows that, in the past year, there has been little change to the activity levels of young people within England, and inactivity levels remain persistently high.
“This year, we have seen the release of a new Government Sports Strategy, and two years of confirmed funding for schools via the PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools. However, it is clear there is much work to do. As this data shows, almost four million children are still not physically active for at least 60 minutes each day.”
