An urgent cause

We Are Facing a Rising Childhood Inactivity Crisis


Alarming trends are sending children on a dangerous path. High levels of sedentary time, particularly screen time at a young age, have been associated with higher body fat, poor diet and lower self-regulation, lower cognitive development, social and mental health challenges, slower motor development and reduced cardiovascular health.


This generation will need to become habitually physically active to grow into healthy, resilient adults who can survive and thrive in a changing world. 


Together, we must focus on movement behaviour change in children, for whom a timely early intervention will lead to vastly superior health outcomes over their lifespan.
