4. Walking: Target to increase ► Walking ► Children who walk regularly are less at risk from heart disease, stroke, diabetes and osteoporosis when they are older. Yet 4 out of 10 boys and 6 out of 10 girls are active for less than an hour per day. ► The decline in walking to school has coincided with a rise in childhood obesity, with the proportion of overweight children increasing by 7 per cent between 1996 and 2001. ► Making moderate exercise an integral part of a child's day, through a walk to and from school, is an excellent way to guard against excess weight and improve general health. ► Walking is already popular with the majority of pupils who live close to their schools, but should be encouraged in others as a key means of improving health and easing congestion.

5. Cycling: Target to increase ► Cycling ► Only 1 per cent of pupils overall (and 2 per cent of secondary children) cycle to school. ► One of the key reasons behind this is concern over road safety, but evidence shows that the health benefits of cycling far outweigh the risks. ► For cycling to become more attractive, local transport and education authorities must work together with schools to develop strategies that combine 'hard' and 'soft' measures. ► Hard measures include engineering works on and off the highway such as traffic calming and the creation of safer routes, as well as school infrastructure such as secure cycle parking, lockers, showers and changing facilities.
