Adolescence is a vital developmental stage in which personal lifestyle
choices and behavior patterns emerge, including the decision to be physically active.
Physical inactivity, lazy behavior, and low oxygen consumption are all substantial risk
factors for the development of chronic illnesses, which result in morbidity and death, as
well as an expensive burden on society from health and social care services and
decreased occupational productivity. During adolescence, a unique mix of biological
and psychological elements combine to generate a special necessity for health-related
physical exercise. At the same time, many of these variables operate as impediments to
encouraging youngsters to develop regular exercise routines. Teenagers and young
adults are becoming more aware of its importance, especially in light of our culture's
constant connectedness and media consumption. This chapter focuses on physical
inactivity among teenagers, the risks they promote and the different ways to cure such
problems.
