Young people move too little
Getting young people ages 12-17 to move sufficiently is one of the major challenges for the near future. The majority of youths doesn&'t mind moving more. But converting the intention into action seems to be a bridge too far. Infrastructure for an active lifestyle (bike paths, pavements, playgrounds, sports centres) could do with improvements. And traffic volumes and the ensuing danger impede a physically active school commute, states TNO in 'Trendrapport Bewegen en Gezondheid 2006/2007'
