WHO Study Shows Global Stagnation in Adolescent Physical Activity

A new WHO study, published in Lancet Global Health, indicates that one in four adolescents globally does not meet the recommended daily minimum of one hour of physical activity. This trend has remained largely unchanged for 15 years, despite increased awareness. The research, based on data from over 3.2 million adolescents across 140 countries, calls for policies to make physical activity more accessible and safe.
