Every fourth teenager in the world does not move much.
Every fourth teenager in the world experiences a lack of physical activity, according to the survey data. It was carried out in 140 countries and reached 3.2 million children.
Only 14% of 11- to 17-year-olds reported being "active" every day of the past week (before the survey), and one in four were inactive for even an hour total in the past week.
In Canada and Finland it is the worst - 30% of respondents reported inactivity.
The main reason for a passive lifestyle is, of course, modern electronic means of communication and entertainment. And this fully applies to Russian children, who suffer more and more from obesity.
