  • A higher proportion of children in Barking and Dagenham are getting enough exercise than before the pandemic, new figures show.

The article from MSN discusses a study by the University of Essex which found that more children in Barking and Dagenham are meeting the recommended exercise levels than before the onset of the global health crisis. The research highlights that despite the challenges posed by the lockdown and restrictions, there has been an increase in physical activity among children in this East London borough. This improvement is attributed to various local initiatives aimed at promoting physical activity, such as the creation of safe play areas, community sports programs, and the encouragement of active travel like walking or cycling to school. The study suggests that these efforts have not only helped in maintaining but actually increasing the physical fitness levels among the youth, countering the trend seen in many other areas where activity levels dropped due to the circumstances of the time.
