Purpose

Increasing physical activity levels is a
Public Health priority both locally and nationally. If current
trends continue, we will be 35% less active by 2030 than we are
presently. The consensus, led by the Faculty of Sport and Exercise
Medicine UK and developed through review of the scientific evidence
and expert clinical and patient consensus, has concluded that the
benefits of physical activity far outweigh the risks for people
living with long-term health conditions. Walking is simple, cost
effective and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose
weight and become healthier. Walking can help you build stamina,
burn excess calories and make your heart healthier. The school
challenge aspect is of huge importance and could be a key
consideration in tackling levels of childhood obesity.
