📚🏃PE in schools plays a crucial role in promoting physical activity among young people! In the 2022 PH Report Card, “School” received a grade of C-, which means that schools can do more in encouraging young Filipinos become more active... https://t.co/b3iGAGGUIL

Just published @BMJOpenSEM

Schools alone aren’t enough. Our meta-analysis shows that while interventions reduce sedentary time and improve sleep, they fail to raise physical activity. We need broader, system-level strategies to transform youth health
