To stay healthy and build a stronger body, children and adolescents should do more than an hour of exercise every day as inactivity increases the risks for heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, other metabolic disorders.
Physical health is also detrimental to develop good mental well-being. Physical activity is not limited to exercise, but also involves any form of activity that moves the body. If you feel your child needs additional help in this area, it is a good idea to talk to your paediatrician or a physical therapist.
