More physical activity for kids within and beyond educational settings
The introduction of compulsory physical education in schools is positive. However, greater promotion of physical activity outside of educational settings is also key to ensure any participation amongst pupils is not limited to school. Similarly, caution is needed to ensure that the promotion of competitive sport does not put off children less disposed to that sport. This could result in children either returning to or increasing their sedentary lifestyle.
