It is well known that the children from financially disadvantaged families miss out on many things, however many may not realize that this also includes exercise.
When it comes to getting enough exercise, wealthier children are beating their poorer classmates, research from Sport England suggests. Only about two in five children (42%) from low-income homes do the recommended 60 minutes' exercise a day.
But this rises to 54% for children from better-off homes, a survey of more than 130,000 five- to 16-year-olds suggests.
There is also an exercise gender gap, the researchers say, with about half of boys but only two in five girls meeting the recommended minimum for sport and exercise.
What do you think can be done to help those less well-off get enough exercise?
