According to the United States the most comprehensive children's physical activity to a survey, 9-year-old to 15-year-old child's daily physical activity significantly decreased, in fact, less than one-third of the 15-year-old child, every day for 60 minutes to reach the minimum standards of appropriate or violent Campaign.

The study is based mainly on the U.S. obesity epidemic on children. U.S. 23,000,000, or about one-third of children overweight, which increases their suffering from type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and other health risks.

Researchers in 10 different cities of 1,000 children from 2000 to 2006 the amount of exercise were measured and analyzed. By measuring the activities include cycling, rope skipping, dancing, walking and running quickly, and so on. The study showed: 9-year-old sports daily average 3 hours; 15-year-old children an average of 49 minutes exercise, exercise 35 minutes on average over the weekend; 15-year-olds, only 31% of the daily exercise of at least 1 hour, only 17% of the campaign over the weekend At least 1 hour.

On the whole, more boys than girls to actively campaign, an average of more than 18 minutes, 13 minutes more on weekends.

The report's principal researcher, University of California, San Diego pediatrics professor Nader said, as children grow older, they are obviously not in school, after school, at home or get more exercise time. The impact of the movement is a major obstacle to children's lack of security in sports facilities, as well as the abolition of school physical education. He suggested that the weekend family with children should work together outdoor sports, such as walking, cycling or playing basketball, and so on.
