游戏针对不同的身体技能,为各种身体水平的儿童设计了一系列动作。
The games call for a range of different movements that develop different physical skills and are suitable for children with all levels of fitness.
WHO recommends all children and adolescents get an average of 60 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per day, including activities that strengthen muscles and bones at least 3 times a week.

但超过80%的青少年未能做到这一点。
Yet, more than 80% of adolescentsdo not meet these recommendations and it is estimated that children and adolescents can spend more than 8 hours of their waking day being sedentary and inactive, a behaviour associated with poor fitness, weight gain and reduced sleep.
“Regular physical activity has major, lifelong benefits for physical and mental health, and is essential for the healthy development of children,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.
