Aussie Kids At A Standstill: Too many Australian children are not doing enough physical activity to maintain good health, a new report reveals. Leading health experts are urging parents and schools to help children become more physically active. Over 70% of Australia’s children and 91% of young people are not meeting sixty minutes physical activity every day. Lack of sufficient physical activity places children and young people at significant risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. It also contributes to higher body weight.
