Week 5 – Free time

A study by Rutgers Business School (2021) showed that those who do not enjoy pleasure-driven activities are more depressed. These individuals are also more anxious and stressed. While focusing on studying is important, teenagers need a healthy balance. Balancing learning, play, and rest is crucial for their development.

Week 4 – Physical Activities in adolescence
According to a 2024 WHO report, the rate of physical inactivity globally remains alarming, with 31% of adults not engaging in sufficient physical activity, equivalent to 1.8 billion people worldwide. The problem of inactivity is even more pronounced among teenagers worldwide and in Vietnam. Globally, 81% of teenagers aged 11 to 17 do not get enough exercise. In Vietnam alone, only 1 in 4 teenagers aged 13 to 17 meet the goal of exercising for at least one hour a day. This trend not only seriously threatens individual health but also increases pressure on the healthcare system and raises the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
