Children's Fitness Can Be Improved By Physical Activity Programs In Schools

Lies, damned lies and research.
A study published on bmj.com today reports that a structured physical activity program at school can develop children's fitness and reduce body fat...

However, there was no significant change in overall daily physical activity and quality of life...

In an accompanying editorial, researchers comment that school based physical activity programs are promising. However in the long term, they may be difficult to sustain. Broader implementation of this intervention would considerably add to the school timetable. They conclude that further research is needed in order to study the feasibility and acceptability of such a strategy in different countries.
Ah, the killer appears.

Unsustainability.

Their cure?

More research = more lies, more damned lies and more money for them.
