One in Four Teenagers Is Not Getting Enough Exercise, According to WHO
Published
Insufficient physical activity among teenagers remains a significant problem worldwide. This is what a new large study by the World Health Organization (WHO) reports. According to the findings, roughly one in four teenagers does not get enough exercise.
Regular exercise is very important for young people's health. It helps the heart and muscles function well and also has a positive effect on mood. Experts point out that children and teenagers need daily activities that keep them moving, whether at school or in their free time.
The study also places particular emphasis on the role of municipalities. Local authorities can create spaces for sports, such as playing fields and parks, and organise programmes for young people. In this way, exercise becomes easier and more accessible for everyone.
Overall, the study shows that tackling the problem requires cooperation. Schools, families and local governments all have a role to play so that teenagers can adopt a more active lifestyle.
