sport

possibly twice a week, which is not enough to counteract their

otherwise

sedentary lifestyle.

However

, by incorporating more sports classes into the curriculum as well as encouraging extra curricular sports activities, they will undoubtedly become fitter and more active. Another point to consider is that having more sports lessons for children in schools will probably result in children developing and interest in exercise which might filter through to other members of the family and have a longer lasting effect.

In other words

, parents with sporty children are more likely to get involved in

sport

as a way of encouraging their children. By both parents and children being involved, it will ensure that children grow up to incorporate

sport

into their daily lives.
