  • A lower proportion of children in Hinckley and Bosworth are getting enough exercise than before the pandemic, new figures show.

The article from MSN discusses a concerning trend in Hinckley and Bosworth, where fewer children are meeting the recommended exercise levels compared to before the global health crisis. According to the Active Lives Children and Young People Survey, only 44% of children and young people in this area are achieving the Chief Medical Officers' guideline of an average of 60 minutes of physical activity per day. This represents a decline from previous years, highlighting a broader issue of reduced physical activity among youth post the onset of the global health situation. The article points out that this decline could have long-term implications for the health and well-being of the younger generation, emphasizing the need for community and educational initiatives to encourage more physical activity among children.
