Fitness Tip – 19 (Children Specific) Usually, the most sedentary children have more body fat and a higher Body Mass Index (BMI) than physically active peers. School-based programs that increase the level of daily physical activity, reduce risk factors associated with chronic diseases and increase students’ knowledge about risk factors and benefits of physical activity can produce a long-term positive effect on exercise habits and overall health. Not implementing required daily physical education in the school curriculum at all grade levels (especially elementary school) seems counterproductive from a public health policy standpoint. Keep training. Dr Saranjeet Singh (Sports Medicine Specialist)
