They watch tv or play computer all day long and are totally inactive. As a result, a large part of children is overweight. Every 5th child and every 3rd teenager weighs too much. But how can parents counter the overweight of their child? Children do sport in school but unfortunately it is not enough. It is mostly just one or two lessons each week. To counter the problem of inactivity school children should do sport on a daily basis.
