My grandsons are 11&14. They play baseball, basketball, football and track, sometimes simultaneously. When you consider practice and games, not to mention occasional tournaments and a variety of charity events based on physical activities, I'm not seeing it. If it were not so difficult to pull pictures from Windows 10, I would show pictures of them. Our biggest health concern is sports injuries.

That might be the case in your family, but I think the article is speaking of the country as a whole.

SSG Shavonde Chase interesting statistics.
The percent of children aged six to 12 who were physically active three or more times a week had its biggest drop in five years and is now under 25%, new data show.

Making matters worse, households with incomes under $50,000 have much higher rates of inactivity than families making more than $75,000 annually, an analysis by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association and PHIT America found. In fact, low income Americans are getting more inactive while high income Americans are becoming more active.

The level of inactivity increased from about 33% in 2012 to nearly 37% in 2016 for families making less than $50,000 per year. Meanwhile, inactivity levels for those earning more than $75,000 dropped from 22% to nearly 19%.
