Answer to Question 1

Despite the American emphasis on physical fitness, most American children are not physically fit. One of the main reasons is the time spent watching television. Children who watch relatively little television have less body fat and are more physically fit than children who watch several hours of television a day.

Yet, schools and parents seem to focus on team sports like baseball and football, which are less likely to promote physical fitness.
