Hype Up Fitness To Support Kids Health Post Lockdown

 Hype up fitness to support kids health post-lockdowns experts urge

We frequently hear the phrase "health is wealth," which most of us interpret to indicate that we should take care of our health. Adults can improve and maintain their health in a variety of ways, but when it comes to children, everyday chores and activities are the only way for them to maintain a healthy lifestyle. All of these everyday activities came to an end as a result of the coronavirus. Schools were closed, and education was continued online.

But what about monitoring their physical activity?

 As Covid-19 draws to a close, or as the disease's severity declines, the government focuses more on children's physical and mental health, which took a toll during Covid.

After conducting a comprehensive study, scientists discovered that children aged 9 to 11-

 • Fifty percent of the children were deemed "unfit"

 • Obesity was diagnosed in 45 percent of children.

During the lockdown, so many restrictions on children's outdoor activities were implemented; such unprecedented rules had a significant influence on children's emotional and physical health. Now that schools have reopened, the government must take levelheaded measures and solidify programs in order to improve children's health. They should also instruct all the sports departments in schools to take such gauges. 

Scientists propose some of the measures that should be implemented by parents -

  • Minimal screen time:- Now that physical education classes have returned, children         should spend more time outside playing rather than on their laptops or phones.

 • Monitoring their BMI:- body mass index refers to assessing body fat based on height and weight. Parents should evaluate the BMI of their children and by browsing the charts that are available online, they should see whether their diet is healthy or it needs to be rectified.
