    The document argues that physical inactivity is a major problem and barrier to health. It notes that 9 out of 10 students who are inactive in high school remain so after graduation, and that modern technologies have replaced everyday activities that used to keep people active. Some of the leading causes of death have shifted from infectious diseases to lifestyle-related conditions like heart disease and cancer. The document suggests that physical fitness is important for health, well-being and longevity, but that students often report lack of time, dislike of sweating, lack of knowledge about exercise, belief that exercise is not for them, and discomfort as barriers. It aims to provide students with the knowledge, tools and motivation to establish an active lifestyle.
