core message
According to the new guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), it is important to promote the health of children under 5 years of age to increase their physical activity, reduce their sitting time and ensure a good night’s sleep. Improving children’s physical, mental health and well-being can help prevent obesity and related illnesses later in life.
background
Failure to comply with current physical activity recommendations is responsible for 5 million deaths in all age groups worldwide each year. Currently over 23% of adults and 80% of adolescents are not sufficiently physically active. When healthy physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and sleeping habits become established early in life, it helps shape habits during childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood.
