Childhood obesity has gotten plenty of attention, but are behaviors that
may prevent it really changing? A new report explored the state of
physical activity among US youth.
The report examined a variety of aspects of the physical activity levels
of American children and teens, and found mixed results.
The report found that only about a quarter of children meet the
recommended guidelines for daily physical activity levels.
This new report the "2014 U.S. Report Card on Physical Activity for
Children and Youth" was produced by the National Physical Activity Plan
Alliance (NPAPA), a non-profit organization.

According to NPAPA, the US 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines recommend
that children between the ages of 6 and 15 get at least 60 minutes of
moderate to vigorous physical activity five days of the week. However, the
report found that overall, only around a quarter of these children (25
percent) are meeting this recommendation.
.
When looking at certain age groups, it seemed that younger kids were
faring better an estimated 42 percent of children between the ages of 6
and 11 met this requirement, while the same was true for only 8 percent of
children between the ages of 12 and 15.

Some organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),
recommend that children have two hours or less of "screen time" each day.
Screen time is time spent watching television, playing video games or
using the computer. The report found that overall, around half (53.5
percent) of kids in the US between the ages of 6 and 11 met these
recommendations.
.
The researchers found that this measure varied by ethnicity, with an
estimated 61.7 percent of Hispanic children, 55.4 percent of white
children and 36.7 percent of African American children meeting this
guideline of two hours or less of screen time.
.
According to NPAPA, the percentage of elementary and middle school
students who got to school through "active transportation" like walking
or biking fell from about 47.7 percent in 1969 to 12.7 percent in 2009.
