The idea
The CDC recommends at least an hour of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day for children, with benefits for body, cognition and emotion.
In practice
Most children falling short of that hour, especially in neighbourhoods without safe places to play.
Where people slip
Barriers include poverty, lack of social support, climate, and cultural roles that discourage girls' sport; school-based family programmes help.
