The Class of 2035 Commission, convened by Youth Sport Trust and bringing together leading voices from across healthcare to address growing challenges in children’s health and wellbeing, has today published its report and vision for change.
Building on the charity’s previously published Class of 2035 report, which warned of the long-term consequences of declining physical activity levels, the Commission was chaired by former global Chief Medical Officer of Bupa Group, Dr Paula Franklin, and comprised of health experts spanning general practice, paediatrics, public health, mental health and research. The Commission’s report highlights the increasingly visible impact of inactivity in clinical settings, with professionals reporting rising levels of anxiety, poor physical development, musculoskeletal issues and chronic conditions among children and young people.
