Kids More Active

According to a new study, even though childhood obesity continues to be a problem, more adults say kids are getting more opportunities to be active. The survey from the University of Michigan found, in 2013, 61-percent of adults reported “lots of opportunity” for young children to get physical activity. That’s up from 56-percent in 2012. U-M Professor Matt Davis says the study comes as other research shows the rates of childhood obesity are coming down. He says because children are getting more opportunities to be active, we could be seeing a slowdown in the childhood obesity epidemic.
