decreasing physical activity

"With the rise of technology and screen-based entertainment, children in this generation are spending more time indoors and less time engaging in physical activity. This lack of exercise can lead to various health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular problems, and musculoskeletal disorders."

"A key barrier to being active is a sedentary lifestyle, and while too much time sitting and using technology can inhibit exercise, it can also be used to promote it. Devices and smart watches are being used by many parents to help their children track their exercise and gamify activity through setting goals, measuring achievement and giving rewards."
