Students failing to get enough exercise
BY Pete Hayman
A recent survey into student activity has shown that students are not taking enough exercise to benefit their health. The second annual University and College Sport (UCS) National Active Student Survey (NASS) revealed that less than a quarter of the 30,000 students who took part in the survey exercised regularly. Leisure-net Solutions, sponsored by Life Fitness, conducted the survey on behalf of UCS, with students from higher education institutions across Britain taking part. NASS also aims to establish students' attitudes towards physical activity, as well as establishing benchmark figures for facility usage. The research follows the recent merger between UCS and British Universities Sports Association (BUSA) to form BUCS.
