"Young people should exercise at least three times
a week for twenty minutes, if they are to maintain a basic
level of fitness and good health. They not only gain huge
physical benefits from this but also important social skills
as individuals and as part of a team. They learn that sport
is interesting, enjoyable, challenging and promotes a healthy
lifestyle."
