The Government has overseen an alarming fall in the amount of PE in
schools since coming to power, according to new figures which cast serious
doubt on its commitment to an Olympic legacy and to tackling Britains
obesity crisis.
.
The biggest survey of its kind during the Coalitions 4 years in office
found that the average number of minutes of PE offered to children in
England had dropped well below two hours per week, in defiance of promises
made to use London 2012 to Inspire a Generation of youngsters to become
more active.
.
Seen by Telegraph Sport ahead of its official publication on Wednesday
morning, the Youth Sport Trusts National PE, School Sport and Physical
Activity Survey Report also suggested that there had been a major slump in
the number of links between schools and community sports clubs since 2010.
.
Baroness Campbell, chairman of the charity formed in 1995 to support
childrens development through sport, described current physical inactivity
levels among the young as a bleak and worrying picture.
.
The YST survey helped to inform its own manifesto for PE and school sport,
which is also being launched on Wednesday in an effort to convince whoever
wins the General Election in May to develop a joined-up,
cross-departmental approach to physical activity.
.
Campbell also chaired UK Sport for almost a decade, during which the
elite funding body bankrolled Britains 65 Olympic and 120 Paralympic
medals at London 2012.
.
She said: Reversing the growing levels of physical inactivity amongst
young people is a seismic challenge. With one in three children leaving
primary school obese or overweight, and less than one in five meeting the
minimum recommended guidelines for physical activity, it is a bleak and
worrying picture.
