By the summer of last year, 41 per cent of kids had achieved the required daily allowance of an hour of moderate to strenuous physical activity, according to the study, which was conducted under the direction of the University of Bristol. Even though this is an improvement over the COVID-19 pandemic`s immediate aftermath, when only 37 per cent of children were found to be fulfilling this goal, most children were still falling short.

Children are more sedentary during the week since public lockdown restrictions lifted, spending an extra 13 minutes on average daily being inactive according to the findings.
