The French public health department launched the "Let Teenagers Move" activity to encourage young people to move

[Global Times Special Correspondent in France] Due to the general lack of exercise in French teenagers, the French public health department launched a one -month "let teenagers move" activity on the 1st, advocating parents to encourage young people to exercise more. The French public health department also hopes to promote young people to exercise more through digital and informatization methods and change sedentary lifestyles.

Data Map

The official website of the French public health department stated that "it is not easy for young people to move, but it is important to encourage them!" Research found that only 50.7%of the boys and 33.3%of the girls between the aged 6-17 can reach world hygiene Organize the proposed amount of exercise, that is, each person per person per day for at least 60 minutes of medium and high -intensity exercise. The amount of exercise of young people over the age of 10 in France is even lower. Of the 11-14 years old, only 33.7%of French teenagers and 20.2%of girls can meet the standards of WHO. In contrast, many French teenagers are obsessed with various electronic products: 45%of the 6-10 -year -old adolescents use electronic products for more than three hours a day, and among young people aged 11-14, this ratio is as high as 70%.

The article mentioned that many French parents did not realize the seriousness of this issue. Therefore, the focus of this activity is to reverse the concept of French parents -they always judge the health of young people with non -objective standards such as "my children are not overweight" and "he feels good", but in fact many children's exercise is not enough. You must say no to "sitting for a long time" as soon as possible. The French public health department hopes that parents will encourage their children to participate in various outdoor sports, such as riding bicycles, playing skateboarding, skating ice, and walking dogs. Relevant experts also suggested that parents can exercise with their children, or actively exercise their own role models for their children.
