Inactivity Leads to Early Death Empower Martial Arts

By the end of this decade most Americans will only exert slightly more energy per week than if they slept 24 hours a day. Nike has brought to the world’s attention how severe this problem is and how it is affecting everyone. This year 5.3 million deaths will be attributed to inactivity while smoking is responsible for 5 million deaths. Today’s 10- year-olds are the first generation expected to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Children are dropping out of sports, and for many, the only physical exercise received is during school. In China 92% of children only receive physical activity during school. There are many reasons and factors that contribute to this epidemic and yes, it is an EPIDEMIC.
