Study: Kids are less fit than their parents were

DALLAS (AP) - Today's kids can't keep up with their parents. An analysis of studies on millions of children around the world finds they don't run as fast or as far as their parents did when they were young.for more information http://bookmarkreal.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-scam

On average, it takes children 90 seconds longer to run a mile than their counterparts did 30 years ago. Heart-related fitness has declined 5 percent per decade since 1975 for children ages 9 to 17. The American Heart Association, whose conference featured the research on Tuesday, says it's the first to show that children's fitness has declined worldwide over the last three decades.go to about health http://bookmarkexplore.com/story.php?title=grow-taller-4-idiots

Health experts recommend that children 6 and older get 60 minutes of moderately vigorous activity accumulated over a day. Only one-third of American kids do now. A new study led by Grant Tomkinson, an exercise physiologist at the University of South Australia. Researchers analyzed 50 studies on running fitness - a key measure of cardiovascular health and endurance - involving 25 million children ages 9 to 17 in 28 countries from 1964 to 2010.visit my webpage http://bibookmark.com/Health/customized-fat-loss-review/

The studies measured how far children could run in 5 to 15 minutes and how quickly they ran a certain distance, ranging from half a mile to two miles .http://rateniagara.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-scam

Today's kids are about 15 percent less fit than their parents were, researchers concluded. The decline in fitness seems to be leveling off in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and perhaps in the last few years in North America.

World Health Organization numbers suggest that 80 percent of young people globally may not be getting enough exercise.
