Is sport enough?

The Heart Foundation's Active Healthy Kids Australia has published its annual report, "Is sport enough? 2014 report card on physical activity for children and young people.".  Modelled on a Canadian initiative, this report provides information on the physical activity and sedentary behaviours of Australia's children and young people.  The authors conclude that "while it is encouraging that a large number of children are obtaining some of their weekly physical activity from organised sport, we need to ask ‘Is sport enough?’. If we look at overall physical activity levels as well as physical fitness and obesity levels, then the answer is clearly no."
