Two in five children want to be more physically active, a UK study found. 35% of children between seven and 14 years old say they exercise for a half an hour or less daily, and 12% are active for just a few minutes. However, the survey of 1,000 kids found that only 26% prefer to be in front of a screen, and 40% want to be more active than they are. “Children and young people are telling us they want to be more active and that they really value fun and varied activities in familiar, supported environments,” a UKactive spokesperson said.
