Are Our Children Inactive?
Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control state that:
-
Less than a quarter (24%) of our children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of
physical activity every day.
-
In 2017, only 26.1% of high school students participated in at least 60 minutes per day of physical activity on all 7 days of the previous
week ("CDC healthy schools," 2020).
