A report has found that more than half high school boys and two-thirds girls never shower a physical education class. Researchers suggest that students don't want to sweat and take a shower, so they are less active sports classes. The researchers questioned almost 4,000 children schools in Essex, England. Lead researcher Dr Gavin Sandercock said he was surprised how rarely students showered. He said: "We know that children aren't getting enough physical activity because we have seen their fitness declining; if the unwillingness to shower is a barrier to working a sweat or playing sport, it's something we need to tackle to promote activity schools."

The BBC says the study did not look the exact reasons why the students did not shower PE. There are other studies that point the fear bullying and humiliation may be the reluctance some students to shower. Undressing front of peers may be too much some children. Pamela Naylor, spokeswoman a health organisation in England, said many children had concerns their body image and that schools needed to address this. She said: "Schools, workplaces and local authorities all have a role to play shifting attitudes so that physical activity, and what comes it, like sweating and the need for showering, is encouraged and accommodated."
