do teenagers get enough exercise?

I agree that there's a much greater emphasis on sport down under Nick. I saw that when I was in Australia, even though I was only there for 3 weeks. Just descending onto the runways at Sydney and Melbourne airports, the number of playing fields I saw put all of the major British cities to shame. However, I still think that in year 9 the majority of kids are still pursuing some sort of sporting/exercise interest outside of school which keeps them pretty fit. The problems arise when they quit that for whatever reason (job, social, laziness) and have to rely on school sport only, which isn't enough, particularly at a time when they are starting to drink more and make more of their own choices about their diet.
