According to a survey by EduSports, most Indian schools fail to ensure adequate playtime and fitness regimes for students. Two out of five school going children do not have a healthy body mass index (BMI) and 50% children lacks adequate lower body strength. Some schools were found to offer three or more physical educational periods per week, while most of them offer just two.
EduSports is India’s first physical education and school sports enterprise. They tested students on sprint capacity, flexibility, upper body strength, abdominal strength and BMI. The annual survey conducted by EduSports revealed that schools set aside more time for sports and physical education activities tend to have comparatively healthier students.
