Physically Active Teens Stay Out of Trouble

According to a new survey, young people who are active in football to play skateboarding are less likely to affect smoking, drinking, and other health risks than sedentary fellows.

The importance of exercise for the problem of inflammation of childhood obesity has greatly advanced. However, Dr. Penny Gordon-Larsen, the first author of the new study, said that the impact of periodic physical activity on child behavior is equally important.

Gordon Larsen, a nutritional assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said, "Besides weight management, there are obvious advantages to exercise."

According to Gordon Larsen, violence and sexual content of TV programs are related to children's behavior.

However, in addition to the possibility of media influence, she stated that children who spent free time on the sofa missed aggressive social exchanges, team work, skill development.

Of about 12,000 junior high school students and high school students she studied, physically active people are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, take medicine, or have sex than their sofa - potato friends. In addition, they tend to have higher self-esteem and better results.

"Children engaged in what activities are better than children who watch lots of TV," Gordon Larsen said

The results of this study, published at the pediatric department, also indicate that the activity is not only meaning traditional sports.

Gordon-Larsen pointed out that children who prefer skateboarding and other "alternative" activities are highly self-respecting and are unlikely to affect health risks.

Physical activity is very beneficial to physical activity, so it helps young people maintain a positive body image. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, young people should exercise for about 60 minutes a day. This does not mean that teenagers must spend more time on a full-scale exercise program. Sports, jogging with friends, and taking physical education lessons are the best way for teenagers to exercise for one hour a day. All types of physical activity consume calories and reduce body fat, so teenagers can choose the physical activity that is most suitable for them.

Physical activity brings benefits to us all, and in various ways - physical, mental and so on. However, in many cases teenage girls are missing participation in active games, sports and sports. These increase health, increase confidence, increase self-esteem, and cope with stress. For boys and all of us, of course we can say this, but as a mother of two teenage girls, this is a problem close to my mind. Participation in sports offers much more obvious advantages, especially than girls - but most girls enjoying sports while giving up on puberty give up during puberty.
