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.

Physical activity, children

Children and physical activity – a gift for life

Physical activity or sport has many advantages. The amount of time that young people, in particular, spend on physical activities can have a critical impact on their entire life. If children are used to moving and being active and are given the pleasure of physical activity, then it is very likely that exercise and sport will remain an important habit in later life.

Staying active and on the move, among other things, reduces the risk of being overweight and obese, it ensures better condition and heart health, healthy growth of bones, ligaments and tendons, it improves coordination and balance, contributes to better mental health and promotes relaxation, which in turn helps prevent chronic muscle tension and improve sleep – to name just a few effects.
