Children and young people should: keep themselves fit through regular physical activity; have a positive self - image; talk about the benefits to their health through participation in physical outdoor activities; adopt a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating appropriate to the demands
of their activities; understand the risks to fitness and health
posed by smoking,
alcohol and
drugs, and set an example in their own lifestyle; walk
or cycle where this is a realistic and safe option,
or take other regular exercise; want to continue their interest in outdoor activities beyond school and into adult life; independently participate in follow up courses where these are available; understand how much exercise is required to remain healthy; and are aware
of the links between physical and emotional well - being.
