The results based on the surveyed group show, inter alia, that att:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only 14% get enough exercise as well as eat enough of what their body needs. Only two in ten reach the recommended amount of physical activity. Teenage girls are the worst off.<\/li>\n<li>Sitting in front of a screen takes up a lot of time, especially among young people. Nearly one in four teenagers spends five or more hours a day in front of a screen.<\/li>\n<li>Adults are important role models for both physical activity and eating habits. Children whose guardians are not active themselves are more likely to be inactive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report finds that healthy exercise and dietary habits strengthen our immune system and reduce the risk of a number of conditions later in life, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, society needs to take the results of the study seriously.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actives.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/2002_genpep_rapporten_-digital.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;8c6e1aff-bd25-414d-b28a-3b17ccc5ae18&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;width: 50% !important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 50% !important;&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/matting.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/folkhalsomyndigheterna-barnsochungas-rorelsemonster.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;public health authorities-children and young people-monsters of terror&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|30px|30px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;width: 50% !important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 100% !important;&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b748d011-be9d-4a0e-bf3f-bd091a547f7d&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||-1px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||13px|||&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Inactive for most of their waking hours<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b748d011-be9d-4a0e-bf3f-bd091a547f7d&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Report from the Swedish Public Health Agency, 2019<\/em><br \/>The report describes the movement patterns of Swedish children and young people, based on 11-, 13- and 15-year-olds who wore activity monitors for one week.

Pupils in the study highlighted increased concentration (22%), more peace of mind (28%) and increased attention (39%). Half of the students found it easier to complete tasks. Based on teachers&#8217; estimates, the most obvious changes were improved concentration and completion of tasks. Teachers also observed joy and increased self-confidence and less fatigue in the afternoons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diva-portal.org\/smash\/get\/diva2:1194271\/FULLTEXT01.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1ETgsGYFSkPRtUulZPLfExOUXRvu7adTCDpWTIm87-n_tkYtJd59BKXb0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;8c6e1aff-bd25-414d-b28a-3b17ccc5ae18&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;width: 50% !important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 50% !important;&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/matting.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/myles-tan-WNAO036c6FM-unsplash-SMALL_1-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;myles-tan-WNAO036c6FM-unsplash-SMALL_1-1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|30px|30px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;width: 50% !important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 100% !important;&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b748d011-be9d-4a0e-bf3f-bd091a547f7d&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px||-1px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||13px|||&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Smarter from exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b748d011-be9d-4a0e-bf3f-bd091a547f7d&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||65px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p> <em><span>Article in the magazine Elevh\u00e4lsa, 2018<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span>Based on various scientific studies, the article suggests that physical activity not only contributes to better health but also improves cognitive functions such as concentration and memory.
