Active Children = Happy Children

Children who take part in physical activity regularly are 20% happier compared to those who don't do any, according to a study conducted by Sainsburys.

The study involved 2,238 children, parents and teachers and showed that parents have a direct influence on their child's fitness. 72% of children in the study claimed that if their parents were more active they would be too.

Other stats showed 4 out of 10 children never exercised or did so only once per week and 20% of boys said they exercised 5 times a week compared to 7% of girls.
