According to the latest findings from Sport England’s **Active Lives Children and Young People Survey**, over 580,000 more children are now satisfying the Chief Medical Officers’ guideline of a minimum of 60 minutes of daily activity compared to 2017-18, making this the highest recorded level since the survey’s inception. However, it is disheartening to note that less than half (49.1%) of children are actually meeting these guidelines, revealing significant inequalities that persist and emphasizing the ongoing threats to both physical and mental health amidst these post-pandemic gains.
