Due to unfettered competition, raging fat-phobia towards anyone who doesn’t look like Hollywood at the given moment in time, and lack of access to programming (transportation, fees, equipment needs etc.) a ton of perfectly active kids just sort of stop sometime in the beginning of puberty. People of all ages with access to affirming, fun and healthy athletic spaces tend to be healthier and more fit. Data on the health of people who live in walkable cities vs not is evidence of the need for health driven infrastructure in the US imo, and public game and sports is no different, again in my opinion.
