Did you know….?

Only about 17% of children in Polandregularly engage in physical activity. What are the best ways to effectively encourage young kids to take up sports?

The international report Global Matrix 4.0, assessing children and youth activity levels, delivers troubling news for Poland. We received a score of 1 in the general physical activity category, indicating that fewer than 20% of children in the country meet the recommendation of at least one hour of activity every day of the week. This is alarming, especially given the rising issue of obesity—excess weight affects nearly one in three 8-year-olds. Instead of improving, the situation is worsening, making the promotion of physical activity a top priority. Regular exercise not only supports physical health but also positively impacts psychological development. So, how can we wisely introduce children to the world of sports?

The benefits of regular exercise are well-known: it strengthens the body, improves metabolism, supports learning, prevents posture problems, builds self-esteem, and teaches life values. Unfortunately, Global Matrix 4.0 shows a clear decline in physical activity among children in recent years. To reverse this trend, it’s crucial to focus on encouraging sports from an early age, emphasizing the importance of inspiring children rather than pressuring them.
