Doctors are encouraging ministers to do more to encourage people out of their sedentary lifestyles as it emerges the amount of exercise taken by people in Wales has not changed in 10 years.
The latest Welsh health survey Physical Activity In Wales 2010, which collects information on 15,000 adults and 3,000 children, shows one in three take no exercise - 36-38% of women and 30-32% of men.
The Welsh government said the figures were not unique to Wales, but showed "the scale of the challenge". However, it said it was targeting teenage girls to try to reduce the gap between the number of women and men who go on to exercise regularly as adults.
