least, time spent in physical activity programmes does not hinder academic performance, and it
might indeed improve performance. Given the positive health benefits that are derived from
physical activity, these studies support PE as an important component of children’s health and
wellbeing. Bottom panels adapted from REF. 97 (1996) Appleton & Lange.

If you have Type 2 diabetes – you will see you your doctor twice a year for 10 minutes per session. Assuming that they sleep for 8hs a day that means that for 5839hours and foutry minutes…….they are going to be surrounded by things that influence decisions on what to eat, what to drink, how to act. Indeed, I would be wrong to think that the way I dress is my choice? How I have dressed today….it is understanding these behaviours that is the challenge, for each of us.
