Young teens aren't exactly embracing the government's Let's Move mantra,
the latest fitness data suggests.
.
Only one in four American kids aged 12-15 meet the recommendations an
hour or more of moderate to vigorous activity every day. The results are
based on about 800 kids who self-reported their activity levels and had
physical exams as part of the 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey.
.
Government researchers won't call the results disappointing, but lead
author Tala Fakhouri of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
said, "There's always room for improvement."
.
The CDC released partial results Wednesday from the fitness survey, which
involved kids aged 3-15. Other results from the same survey are pending
and include fitness data based on more objective measures including
treadmill tests.
.
Fakhouri said the nationally representative results provide useful
information for initiatives aiming to increase kids' fitness, including
the Let's Move anti-obesity campaign launched by first lady Michelle Obama
in 2010.
.
Kids in the survey reported on which physical activities they did most
frequently outside of school gym class: basketball for boys and running
for girls.
.
While few met guidelines established in 2008 for activity that raises the
heart rate and makes you breathe harder, most said they did at least an
hour of exercise at that level during the previous week. Overall, about
25% said they exercised every day for an hour of that kind of activity.
