Only six out of 10 children aged between five and 14 years participate in sport outside of school. More boys (70 per cent) than girls (56 per cent) participate in sports. Evidence suggests that physically active children are more likely to mature into physically active adults. Reducing physical inactivity is just as important as increasing physical activity. Aim for at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day and a maximum of two hours per day using electronic media including TV. Parents can encourage their children to play sport in many ways, including through role modelling.
