China concerns over youth fi tness levels
Despite its formidable performance in recent Olympic Games, China has seen the fitness of its young people decline, according to TIME World. In 2010, 13.3 per cent of urban male students were obese, compared to 8.7 per cent a decade earlier. “Our economic power has grown, while
our people’s physiques have deteriorated,” says Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of China Youth and Children Research Center in Beijing. “This worries the nation.” Sun attributes the decline to an obsession
with academic testing scores in China’s competitive environment for college admissions, as well as a proliferation of indoor entertainment options like video games and surfing the internet. The Chinese government has now urged schools to beef up their physical education.
