I don't know why most child settings don't provide those opportunities. it is extremely important for a child to have the recommended amount of structured unstructured physical activity. Physical activity has many benefits such as; better concentration, improved energy level, ability to handle stress, increased self-confidence and self-esteem, reduced risk of child diabetes, obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure

In the Journal of Pediatric Psychology many pediatricians are disturbed by the levels of lack of physical activity of children, researchers in one survey concluded that less than 25% of children in grades 4 through 12 participate in 20 minutes of vigorous activity or 30 minutes of any physical activity per day. With weight management as a goal regular physical activity help children lose weight and maintain that weight loss, stronger bones and joints, better concentration in school, a greater ability to handle stress, improvements in self-confidence and self-esteem, a greater social acceptance by peers, opportunities to make new friends.
