title: [Sport: practiced from birth?].
abstract: Physical activity in children is on the decline, leaving room for sedentary behaviour. Children are mentally over stimulated through the use of screens, but their physical condition is diminishing. The benefits of physical activity in adults are well known. Although paediatric literature is less abundant, the benefits of regular physical activity in young children are real and extend into adulthood. The promotion of physical activity can be made by any responsible adult in a child's entourage. It means clarifying the confusion between physical activity and sport, evaluating the balance between the physical and sedentary behaviour of the children and their families and establishing with them the possible necessary changes. PAPRICA--young childhood is 4 hour interdisciplinary training session approaching these various themes.
