Sports for Kids Like You!

Would you prefer television or badminton? Or would you rather watch TV or do archery? After a four-year study in the USA, any kids, between the ages 10-15, are known to watch TV and relax, than to exercise and play sports. While watching television, kids usually eat snacks, also known as "junk food." This consists of chips, ice cream, brownies, cookies and more! This action takes place throughout our lives, and it should be stopped. When kids do exercise more, they are able to keep weight off of them, and stay fit. Many children, who are involved in activities, are known to be more healthy and active. A survey shows, that after asking more than 10,000 girls and boys, that girls spend roughly 10 hours week watching TV, while at the same time boys spend around 12 hours a week. But at the same time, girls are only active for 12 hours a week, and boys are active for 14 hours. I feel that kids should be active for at least 8 hours a week, so they’re not always sitting around eating "bonbons." If you’re not active, there is a higher chance that you would be obese. Most kids also get offended when someone makes fun or their weight, but they don’t realize that they can easily change that. This relates to science because of your health. When you eat junk food, or don’t exercise, it’s not good for your future because you could have a chance of heart disease, high cholesterol and breathing problems. Many kids, who might be active, could be over weight and that could just be heredity, just like we learned about it class. Kids sometimes don’t realize how their weight can effect them, and that it why everyone should know what is going on in this world, and how others have the chance to fix it!
