Abstract
It is increasingly difficult for children and adolescents to participate in a physically active lifestyle. Factors such as an increase in sedentary recreation activities, such as watching television and videos and playing computer games, coupled with a culture of driving children to school and other activities instead of walking or cycling, have all contributed to creating an environment that encourages more sedentary pursuits.https://doi.org/10.1071/NB04S27
