Sport England have published the latest results for their Children and Young People Active Lives Survey<\/p>\n

The number of children and young people who were physically active fell during the 2019\/20 academic year in England, as first bad weather and then the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic restricted the type of activities available. <\/p>\n

The figures, covering the 2019\/20 academic year, show 44.9% of children and young people (3.2 million) nationally and 46.7% in Tees Valley met the Chief Medical Officer guidelines of taking part in sport and physical activity for an average of 60 minutes or more a day.<\/p>\n

This represents a decrease of 1.9% (86,500) nationally compared to the same period 12 months ago, although activity levels remain higher than in 2017\/18. <\/p>\n

Some 31.3% (2.3m) did less than an average of 30 minutes a day, with an increase of 2.4% (+201,400) in the proportion who were less active over the last year. The number of less active children is still lower than it was in 2017\/18.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The survey showed that activity levels were increasing during the autumn term (2019) and the overall drop over the academic year was due to disruption caused by the storms in the spring term and the impact of the pandemic across the summer term. <\/p>\n

However, thanks to the dedication and resourcefulness of parents, teachers, coaches and organisations who deliver activities, the drop during the period between mid-May and late-July (when restrictions started to ease) was significantly less than it was for adults earlier in the pandemic.<\/p>\n

More information about the release, including the impact on different demographic groups is available on the Sport England website.   <\/a>    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
