Another study has again pointed out the lack of activity among children. Steep decreases in fitness level, even among children that are not obese, suggest that a focus on weight alone can overshadow other aspects important for a healthy life. A study that is published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood journal, signed up more than 600 children for a bleep test. The results were then compared to results from 1998. According to the experts the fitness level is falling at twice the predicted global average rate in UK. While the study is flawed, the lack of exercise and daily activity among children has long been discussed in the media, and new studies – even if small, might push forward a much needed change to improve children’s health.
