Fewer Tonbridge and Malling children getting recommended exercise than before the pandemic

The article from MSN discusses a concerning trend in Tonbridge and Malling, Kent, where fewer children are meeting the recommended levels of physical activity 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 at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. This figure 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 decrease could have long-term implications for the health and well-being of the younger generation, potentially leading to increased rates of obesity, mental health issues, and other health-related problems. Local authorities and health experts are calling for increased efforts to promote physical activity among children to reverse this trend.
