青少年運動報告出爐 韓國孩子全世界最懶

全球青少年“懶惰”報告日前出爐，從各國青少年的運動量排行來看，韓國青少年最懶，超過90%的青少年幾乎不運動。孟加拉青少年最活躍，其次是斯洛伐克和愛爾蘭青少年。從世界範圍來看，女孩的運動量普遍低於男孩。

Teenagers in South Korea are the laziest in the world, according to a global study.

根據一項全球研究，韓國的青少年是全世界最懶的。

A country-by-country breakdown of physical activity levels has revealed just one in five 11 to 17-year-olds get as much exercise as they need to stay healthy.

這項研究分析了各國青少年的運動量，發現11歲到17歲的青少年只有五分之一的人運動量達到了維持健康所需的水平。

In some countries, led by South Korea and including the Philippines, Cambodia and Sudan, more than 90 percent of teenagers are inactive.

在韓國爲首的一些國家，包括菲律賓、柬埔寨和蘇丹，超過90%的青少年很少運動。

Meanwhile the US outperformed almost every country on Earth with just 72 percent of children inactive – higher only than Bangladesh, Slovakia and Ireland.

與此同時，美國青少年的表現超過了世界上幾乎所有國家的青少年，只有72%的青少年很少運動，僅落後於孟加拉國、斯洛伐克和愛爾蘭。

Experts said the statistics were 'concerning' and that encouraging exercise is vital for tackling the most dangerous child health concern – obesity.

專家稱，這些數據“令人擔憂”，並表示鼓勵孩子多運動對於應對兒童健康威脅最大的肥胖問題至關重要。

'Children who are more active have better health and wellbeing and generally do better in school,' said Professor Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

皇家兒科與兒童健康學院主席羅素·瓦伊納教授說：“活躍的孩子更健康、狀態更好，通常在學校成績也更好。”

Researchers from the World Health Organization have produced the report which outlines worrying levels of adolescent laziness all over the world.

世界衛生組織的研究人員撰寫的這份報告概述了世界各地青少年令人擔憂的懶惰程度。

It said all children between the ages of 11 and 17 should do at least an hour of exercise every day, but the in reality only around 19 percent manage it.

報告稱，年齡在11歲到17歲之間的孩子每天至少應鍛鍊1小時，但事實上只有約19%的青少年做到了。

In the country with the most active children – Bangladesh – still only a third of children (33.9 percent) hit that target, according to the study of 1.6 million youths.

這項調查了160萬青少年的研究指出，在孩子最活躍的孟加拉，也只有三分之一（33.9%）的兒童達到了這一目標。

Girls were less active than boys in all but four out of 146 countries, the WHO revealed, with only Tonga, Samoa, Afghanistan and Zambia bucking the trend.

世界衛生組織指出，在研究覆蓋的146個國家中，除了湯加、薩摩亞、阿富汗、贊比亞這四個國家以外，所有國家的女孩都比男孩運動少。

buck the trend: 反潮流，扭轉潮流

study author Dr Regina Guthold said: 'Urgent policy action to increase physical activity is needed now, particularly to promote and retain girls’ participation in physical activity.'

研究作者雷吉娜·古特爾德博士說：“現在急需出臺增加兒童運動量的政策措施，尤其是促進和保證女孩參與體育運動的政策措施。”

Dr Guthold and her team said physical activity was important for developing young people's hearts, lungs, bones and muscles and keeping them a healthy weight.

古特爾德博士和她的團隊稱，體育運動對於年輕人心、肺、骨骼和肌肉的發育以及保持健康體重很重要。

In the UK one in three children are overweight before they finish primary school and even fewer (18 percent) eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables each day.

在英國，三分之一的兒童在小學畢業前就超重了，每天吃五份以上水果蔬菜的兒童甚至更少，只有18%。

NHS figures last month showed 24.6 percent of 10 and 11-year-olds are obese in England, while 34.3 percent are overweight to some degree.

上個月英國國家醫療服務體系的數據顯示，10歲到11歲的英國兒童有24.6%的人肥胖，而超重的兒童則佔了34.3%。

According to its Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US's childhood obesity rate is 18.5 percent and affects some 13.7 million young people.

美國疾病控制與預防中心的數據顯示，美國的兒童肥胖率爲18.5%，肥胖兒童有1370萬之多。

In a comment published alongside the study, in the journal The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, a Canadian researcher said modern society is to blame for inactivity.

和該研究報告同時發表在《柳葉刀：兒童與青少年健康》期刊上的一篇評論中，一位加拿大研究員稱，現代社會是青少年不活躍的元兇。

Dr Mark Tremblay, from the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, wrote: 'The changing world is changing people, with movement being one of the clearest indicators of this change.

安大略省東部研究所兒童醫院的馬克·特倫布萊博士寫道：“世界在變，人也在變，運動量就是這種變化最明顯的指標之一。”

'The electronic revolution has fundamentally transformed people’s movement patterns by changing where and how they live, learn, work, play, and travel, progressively isolating them indoors (e.g., houses, schools, workplaces, and vehicles), most often in chairs.

“電子革命通過改變人們生活、學習、玩樂、旅遊的地點和方式，從根本上改變了人們的運動模式，日益將人們隔絕在室內（比如房子、學校、辦公室、車輛），往往是禁錮在椅子上。”

'People sleep less, sit more, walk less frequently, drive more regularly, and do less physical activity than they used to.

“人們睡得更少、坐得更多、走得更少、開車更多，運動量也比以前少了。”

'They are increasingly moving from one country to another, from rural to urban areas, from outdoors to indoors, from standing to sitting, from walking to driving, and from active play to digital play.

“越來越多的人從一個國家搬到另一個國家，從鄉村搬到城區，從室外轉到室內，從站變爲坐，從走路變爲開車，從活躍的玩耍變爲電子遊戲。”
