American children become less active as they age, according to a report in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
Nine-year-old children usually exercise a couple of hours each day. However, when a child reaches adolescence, he or she becomes more sedentary.
Inactivity can cause many health problems later in life, such as heart disease and obesity.
