There's no doubt that Westerners are very sedentary.

Most people seem to think that youngsters are inherantly full of energy, 
and that being tired and lathargic is in inevitable consequence of 
growing up. My hypothesis is that this lack of energy is not in fact due 
to age, but to being constantly forced to stand still, sit still, wait 
around, etc.
