Hong Kong students are not doing enough exercise, a survey has concluded.

Experts have reacted by saying teenagers should get their bodies moving by joining in team events or group exercises.

The Boys' and Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) surveyed teenagers' exercise habits in September.

It found that almost 40 per cent did not do any exercise outside of physical education lessons.

Of those students, more than half admitted they were lazy, while 24 per cent said they did not like exercising alone.

Hong Kong Baptist University associate professor Louie Hung-tak said the survey showed students did not do enough exercise, which was bad for their health and growth.
