Three-quarters of American teenagers do not get an adequate amount of physical activity each day. At the same time, girls lead a particularly sedentary lifestyle, which puts them at risk of obesity and diabetes, as the study showed.

As many as 75% of American teenagers do not get an adequate amount of physical activity every day, and this is one of the main reasons for the catastrophic condition with obesity rates in the country, according to a study by scientists from the University of Georgia.

According to some data, 40% of Americans are obese, and 60% are overweight. In 10 years, the number of victims of obesity will exceed 50%. This will make America a diabetes nation, experts predict.

This study found that approximately 75% of Americans aged 14 to 18 do not meet the daily minimum recommended levels of exercise, with girls having much lower numbers , than boys.

The lack of adequate training is combined with the negative effect of school bullying or bullying, which was also confirmed by the study. America is currently experiencing a real pediatric obesity crisis. 20% of American children are severely obese, and more than 200,000 suffer from diabetes.

The researchers gathered their information from data from more than 360,000 high school students. Everyone was asked about how much time they spend on various physical activities, they asked questions about social support from teachers and adults, and how their peers treat them, about safety in school conditions, bullying or harassment, and psychological support.< /p>

Children who felt that their schools were as safe as possible, positive, performed more physical activities, and this shows the connection between attitudes towards school and the level of sports.
