Why Indian adolescents are not getting enough physical activities

The focus on the carrier might be the reason why Indian boys are not getting sufficient exercise, while domestic chores are keeping girls away from adequate exercise.

As per the study by World Health Organization, found that kids aged 11 to 17 years at the lower levels of insufficient physical activity in Bangladesh.

 

Three in four adolescents and teens in India are not getting the one hour of daily exercise prescribed for optimal health, but they are still far more active than 11-17 year olds in the rest of the world, according to a new study.

Globally, 81% of those surveyed were insufficiently physically active in 2016, with boys more active than girls. Around 77.6% boys were inactive, compared to 84.7% girls.

In India, 73.9% children got “insufficient physical activity” in 2016, increasing their chances of being obese and developing heart disease, diabetes and mental health problems, including depression, according to a World Health Organisation analysis of 1.6 million students across 146 countries.
