Four in five adolescents worldwide do not get enough physical activity, to the detriment of their health, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Nov 22, 2019, warning that girls especially need more exercise.

In its first ever report on global trends for adolescent physical activity, the UN health agency stressed that urgent action was needed to get teens off their screens and moving more.
