Paragraph text
The benefits of participation in physical activity and sport and the adoption of healthy lifestyles can be especially pronounced for children. Physically active young people have higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness, better metabolic profiles, improved bone health and fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. Accordingly, WHO has recommended that children and adolescents should participate in 60 minutes of cumulative physical activity daily. Among adolescents, there is a correlation between participation in organized sport and an increased likelihood of meeting physical activity targets.
