Adolescence is a vital developmental stage in which personal lifestyle choices and behavior patterns emerge, including the decision to be physically active. Physical inactivity, lazy behavior, and low oxygen consumption are all substantial risk factors for the development of chronic illnesses, which result in morbidity and death, as well as an expensive burden on society from health and social care services and decreased occupational productivity. During adolescence, a unique mix of biological and psychological elements combine to generate a special necessity for health-related physical exercise. At the same time, many of these variables operate as impediments to encouraging youngsters to develop regular exercise routines. Teenagers and young adults are becoming more aware of its importance, especially in light of our culture's constant connectedness and media consumption. This chapter focuses on physical inactivity among teenagers, the risks they promote and the different ways to cure such problems.
