YST - How active have most kids been in lockdown?

Did you know that the majority of children under 16 (93%) have continued to do something to stay active during lockdown but the amount of activity they are doing has fallen; 

The number of children meeting the Chief Medical Officer’s guidelines (of taking part in sport or physical activity for an average of 60 minutes or more every day) has dropped from 47% to 19%.  43% are doing less than half an hour of activity and a worrying 7% are doing nothing.

Have you been doing 60 minutes of physical activity per day?
