TEENS IN SPORT (stop animation title sequence)

Narrator: In an official survey by the BBC, doctors found 17 per cent of boys and 16 per cent of girls between 12 and 15 are classed as either overweight or obese and nearly three quarters of children are not getting the recommended 60 minutes of daily activity outside of school. Teenagers are getting less and less involved in sport as the years go by, is this down to parents, teachers, themselves?

Childhood physical activity can improve health in adulthood and improve cognitive skills and academic behaviour and provide opportunities for social interaction, achievement and mental well-being.

From self report questionnaires stats show:

32% of boys and 24% of girls aged 2-15 years in England 24% of 8–12 year olds in Northern Ireland 77% of boys and 64% of girls aged 2-15 years in Scotland 41% boys and 30% girls aged 4-15 years in Wales

Follow the recommended daily amount.

We went into Solihull town centre, touchwood to ask the public about their experiences with sport as a teenager:

Playing sports helps you stay in shape, teaches you how to organize your time, boosts friendships, and builds relationships with your peers and adults.

We asked expert PE teacher Gavin (last name?) from Solihull Sixth form college about his opinions on the recent decline in sport.

After the break we will be talking to expert … about their views and we will be interviewing some students from a local college to discuss their ideas about how college and school shape the way we spend our time.
