Summary
In the last two decades in Germany and other countries physical activity of children and adolescents declined while sedentary lifestyle increased. Physical inactivity in childhood and youth is related with coronary heart disease risk factors and higher prevalence of obesity. International recommendations suggest daily 60 minutes or more moderate to vigorous physical activity and less than 2 hours sedentary activity in leisure.
