Kids, weight & socially situations
The activity level of your kids could depend on their friends.
A study looked at nearly one hundred children who participated in an after-school program.
The children wore devices that measured their activity levels, and they also filled out surveys detailing their friendships.
Researchers found children are six times more likely to adjust to their friend’s physical activity level.
The amount of time spent in vigorous activity was directly related to that of their friends.
