Neighbourhoods and #builtenvironment have a significant influence on safety, infrastructure, and support for #activeliving, though also received a low score in the #2022IRC. Increasing access to PA opportunities through PE facilities can help. https://t.co/3I2cGQyxkI

Schools are an important setting for #children and #youth to accumulate #physicalactivity, though received a low score in the #2022IRC. Increasing access to PA opportunities through PE facilities can help to increase numbers in the coming report cards. https://t.co/3I2cGQyxkI

[activehealthykidsindia @ActiveKidsIndia]
