Appendix 2 Characteristics of Children's Physical Activity15 Children are naturally more active than adolescents or adults.

Activities need to be of short duration to maintain a young child's attention.

Children seek concrete reasons for consistently being active not abstract reasons such as "health".

Children learn skills by being physically active and in mastering these skills, increase in self-confidence.

Self-efficacy has a strong a.s.sociation with later in life adherence to a physically active lifestyle.

Skills learned in childhood will sustain leisure activities during adulthood.

High intensity activities may be discouraging for some children.

Although inactive children tend to become inactive adults, the opposite is not necessarily true.
