Derby City Council commisioned an independent report during 2006 to find out exactly how active Derby children are. 9000 Derby School children's activity levels were assessed.

The Chief Medical Officer recommends that under 16s take part in one hour of moderate physical activity, seven days a week.

The research tells us that 57% of five to 16 year olds in Derby do not achieve the recommended seven hours of moderate physical activity a week.              

With your help we can change these worrying facts and improve the lives of Derby's children and young people for good. Find out how here.
