Study finds children not receiving sufficient exercise during organized sports.
NBC Nightly News (12/8, story 8, 0:30, Williams) reported that a new study "shows that kids don't get enough exercise from organized team sports." According to the findings, children on soccer, baseball, or softball teams "exercised heavily only for about 45 minutes during practice" on average; an exercise regimen that is "15 minutes less than the amount recommended by national guidelines."
