Key findings include: - Physical inactivity among today's 11-25 year olds will cost the UK economy £53.3 billion over their lifetimes - Each physically inactive young person costs UK economy £12,000 over their lifetime - Lowest-income households are most likely to have least active children - Poorest households spend less than £2 a week on sport
