The study confirms government findings that youth activity levels in the UK have decreased in comparison to pre-pandemic levels, with just 44.6% of children aged 5 to 16 reporting 60 minutes or more of physical activity per day in 2020–2021 (down from 46.8% in 2018–19). Specifically, just 45.3% of London’s residents completed the required activity, making it the second lowest performing area in the UK.
